Chef Yayo is a sushi chef with nine years of industry experience spanning neighborhood sushi bars to high-level fine dining. He has built a strong technical foundation while developing a modern approach to sushi, shaped by learning from Michelin-starred sushi chefs—including Edomae-style omakase chefs in Tokyo.

Influenced by his Chinese-Vietnamese heritage and Houston’s diverse culinary landscape, his cuisine blends cultural perspective with modern execution, creating sushi that feels both personal and progressive, while thoughtfully incorporating traditional Edomae-style courses into his modern menu.
