Chef Chris Ono
JACCC's Chef-in-Residence, Chris Ono, highlights the flavors of Miyazaki with various izakaya-style small plates, including generous servings of Miyazaki wagyu beef dishes.
Chef Chris Ono has a current pop up at the Toshizo Watanabe Culinary Cultural Center, named HANSEI, a word describing self discovery and re-evaluation. A native of Los Angeles, Chef Chris began his career as a teenager working in his uncle’s small neighborhood café, Kenny's, a familiar spot on Centinela in West LA.
After earning a degree from San Francisco’s California Culinary Academy, Ono worked under everyone from Roy Yamaguchi to Michael Cimarusti (Providence) before a stint at Eleven Madison Park in New York City. Chef Chris has been a familiar face for the last year at JACCC, frequently making bentos for events and programs and supporting the Culinary Arts program.
