Wai Lin
Wai Lin was born in Burma in 1980 and migrated to the US with his parents in 1991. By age 14, he was getting his first kitchen experience at a Subway restaurant operated by his grandparents. In 2000, he moved to Oregon to attend college and while working a part-time summer job at his uncle’s Portland sushi bar, he found what would soon become a full-time career. Wai Lin’s skills have taken him to Temper, FL, Detroit, MI and Palm Desert, CA and now Kentucky after being recruited by Tin Oo of Aqua Sushi in 2008.
