ABOUT ME
From London kitchens
to private tables.
I’m a Korean chef with more than a decade of experience in restaurants, private homes and event kitchens.
I learned my trade in London, working in sushi, Japanese and pan-Asian kitchens before opening Anju, my Korean street-food and events business. I later moved to Vienna to co-found Halmi, where I led the kitchen and developed a Korean-European menu.
Today I cook for private clients, households, touring teams and retreats. I enjoy food with a clear sense of place: Korean flavours, good local produce and the kind of generous service that helps people relax around a table.
SELECTED WORK
Food I’ve cooked,

All of the food shown here is my own work, from private homes, restaurants, retreats and touring kitchens.
