Chef Wong offers a unique blend of modern Chinese and Japanese cuisine with a choice of popular American Chinese dishes.

He worked as the jack-of-all-trades for his uncle in a large restaurant in Fort Lee, NJ. From those early beginnings, he saw that Chinese dishes were basically the same from one restaurant to another. The desire to gain further knowledge of different gourmet styles made him enrol at The Art Institute in New York City.

He excelled and earned an AOS degree in Culinary Art and Restaurant Management with Honors and received a presidential award with a 4.0 GAP score. He won three gold medals at the ACF approved Culinary Competitions and one gold medal at the prestigious Salon of Culinary Art. After graduation, he continued his education at the Culinary Institute of America at Hyde Park New York. He was mentored by acclaimed Southeast Asian chef, Chef Robert Danhi. From there, he began to experiment with different styles and came up with a modern style of Chinese culinary dishes.Chef Wong has traveled, visited, and worked in the kitchens of China and Southeast Asia. He has sampled every kind of Asian cuisine. He is familiar with renowned Chinese cuisine featuring scallion, cilantro, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and Sichen Pepper cones.
