Introduction
Hi, I’m Justin — chef, culinary artist, and passionate traveler with a love for global flavors and meaningful connections. My mission is to redefine how people experience food—bringing creativity, culture, and connection to the heart of every meal. I specialize in designing unique, locally inspired, and deeply personal dining experiences that go far beyond the plate. For me, food should tell a story—about where it comes from, who made it, and the community it’s shared with. That’s why I focus on sourcing local ingredients, exploring unexpected flavor pairings, and creating menus that honor tradition while pushing creative boundaries. Born and raised in Los Angeles, I grew up surrounded by a vibrant mix of cultures and cuisines. My culinary journey has taken me from neighborhood kitchens to luxury hotels around the world, learning from a diverse range of chefs and techniques along the way. I bring that global perspective into every event, blending refined classics with innovative, fully customizable menus tailored to each occasion. While I specialize in fine-dining Japanese and Mexican cuisine, my background spans a wide range of global influences—from Mediterranean to Southeast Asian—offering both depth and versatility to every dish I create. Every meal I cook is rooted in authenticity, elevated by originality, and crafted with intention.

Chef Justin provided and incredible experience for our group of 11. We requested what we’d like to have and crushed it. Every course was delicious. Homemade pasta. Reasonable price for the value and quality we got. Certainly would recommend him for a private event!
