WASABI - Key Persons
Johnny Chan, Wasabi DI's Executive Chef, first became enthralled with Asian cuisine as a young teen. While growing up in Hong Kong, Chan was provided the rare opportunity to absorb countless techniques, perspectives, and cultures in the culinary world. As an adult in Japan, Chan spent years under accomplished sushi chefs developing his passion, knowledge, abilities and skills as a sushi chef. Chan moved to Los Angles, California shortly after completing his training in Japan. Tenji Sushi Bar and Restaurant, a prestigious restaurant, was where he worked for three years before leaving to open a restaurant in Charleston, South Carolina. Daniel Island, South Carolina is now where Chan calls home. Chef Chan brings his first-hand cooking experience directly from Japan to Wasabi of Daniel Island. His execution is flawless, and everything Chan design has evolved from his disciplined training. You can get sushi anywhere, but under Chan's guidance, Wasabi D.I. offers Charleston's only truly authentic Japanese sushi experience!
Johnny Chan, Wasabi DI Executive Chef, "is sparing and effective in his execution, true to the artful simplicity of Japanese cooking."
