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.

Anton Athanasiu is an aspiring chef with a deep passion for Italian cuisine. Working as chef de partie of Che Fico in Menlo Park, he has mastered the art of upscale Italian dishes, from handmade pastas to show-stopping truffle risottos. With strong suits of  precision and creativity, Anton combines tradition with innovation, bringing rich flavors and refined technique to every plate.

Chef - Ari Nourmand

Ari’s culinary expertise ranges from large-scale production to fine craft work. Having led his high school’s culinary program, he has catered for events with as many as 600 guests — which necessitated serving over 1,400 hors d’oeuvres. Ari took part in the SkillsUSA culinary arts competition in 2023, earning the title of #1 best Youth Chef in Southern California as well as #2 in the state. His culinary skills have been refined as a cook at his neighborhood Italian restaurant, an intern at LA’s Michelin Guide-featured Funke, and as chef de partie at The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills. Highly skilled in both entrée and dessert preparation, Ari brings his versatility and precision to every dish.

Chef - Jolene Seng

Jolene’s culinary roots trace back to her family’s restaurant, where she gained hands-on experience in both the kitchen and the dining room. As the Fine Dining Director at UC Berkeley’s East Asian Culinary Club, Jolene has further honed her craft, mastering difficult techniques found in various cultures’ cuisines. Having started a pop-up boba shop, as well as having cooked many fusion recipes, Jolene’s diverse background brings authenticity and innovation to every plate.
