Aloha! I’m Bryan, a vegan chef born and raised on the beautiful island of O‘ahu, Hawai‘i. Growing up surrounded by the ocean, fresh produce, and that laid-back island energy shaped everything about me, from my easygoing personality to my love for international flavor.

My cooking story started back in high school when I took a bet to go vegetarian. What started as a challenge quickly turned into a lifelong passion driven by animal advocacy, and I haven’t looked back since.

I’ve been vegan since 2016, and my mission is pretty simple: prove that plant-based food can be ‘ono, while respecting the traditions that it came from.

In 2025, my wife and I made a life-changing decision to sell our belongings and live abroad. Since then, we’ve explored much of Asia, learning about different global cuisines, and working with amazing vegan restaurants across the world like Acorn, Folke, and Rad Rabbit.

These days, you can find me crafting seitan, sharing Hawaiian recipes online, or creating private dining experiences - from Honolulu to Chiang Mai. No matter the project, my goal is the same: to bring people together over wholesome food with a little taste of Hawai‘i in every bite.
