One of his first moves was to bring in chef Ping Chang who himself has been cooking professionally for 40 years. When combined with new sushi chef Ling Yang’s 20 years, the trio bring nearly a century of restaurant experience to bear at the Jade Gazebo.
The expanded menu now also includes sushi, which they just started serving.
