Meet your chef instructor

There is not a position in the restaurant that Chef Alex has not held working 25 years in Japanese cuisine. From Chicago to Tokyo and back, everything from commercial tuna and seafood work to Izakaya and Teppanyaki has left its mark (usually visible) as Chef Alex continues to show everyone fun and stress free ways to be sociable AND learn something of Japanese food.
