BACKGROUND
Chef Quindere

Throughout his travels and culinary immersion, Chef Quindere was exposed early and often to the Japanese culinary influences.

He has a keen eye for classic technique, yet an innovative and aggressive approach to introducing the next unique experience to you.
"Japanese Cuisine and seafood is my passion, and where much of my experience lies. After spending time in Japan, and trying all kinds of food, I saw how simple and elegant Omakase was yet an amazing way to enjoy and showcase the seafood.
​
I'm able to pair the simplicity of the Japanese cuisine with our local and responsibly sourced seafood to provide San Diegans with a unique culinary experience with a conscious effort."
