I’m originally from San Francisco, and I’ve spent a large part of my life in the kitchen. Growing up in a big family, I learned early how meaningful it is to bring people together through abundant, high-quality food, and I started cooking by assisting in my father’s Cantonese banquet-style restaurant kitchens.

Those early experiences pushed me to learn everything I could about the culinary arts. I founded Fyusion Dining in 2005 to share a style of dining that goes beyond the plate—thoughtful presentation, expertly prepared cuisine, and a warm atmosphere that invites you to slow down, connect, and explore the diversity of food.
