Founder & Chef - Jeffrey Yuan

Three-time ramen chef Jeffrey has spent nearly a decade perfecting his craft. At 10, he was already experimenting in the kitchen—a passion that led to a ramen apprenticeship and a year navigating the chaos of NJ’s busiest ramen restaurant. Summers were spent refining knife skills and mastering flavor balance at top-tier cooking programs, culminating in graduation from CampusNYC Culinary Arts Academy. Specializing in Sichuanese and Chinese cuisine, Jeffrey brings bold, vibrant flavors to every recipe.
