Emily Yuen - Yingtao: Chef Demo
WHO: Emily Yuen is the Executive Chef of Michelin-starred Yingtao.
ABOUT: Yuen’s culinary journey spans Michelin-starred kitchens across Australia, London, Singapore, and New York, including the iconic Le Gavroche and several restaurants under Daniel Boulud. After settling in New York City, she continued her work with Boulud and further refined her approach during her time at Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant, Kajitsu.
She later served as executive chef at Bessou in NoHo and most recently opened Lingo in Brooklyn in 2023, a Japanese-American concept that blends familiar flavors with inventive, globally inspired twists. Her work at Lingo earned the restaurant a place in the Michelin Guide, and she was named a 2025 James Beard Foundation Best Chef: New York State semifinalist.
At Yingtao, she brings together her Chinese heritage and international influences drawn from her career abroad to evolve the restaurant’s contemporary Chinese tasting menu. Her leadership reflects a broader commitment to representation in professional kitchens particularly for Chinese and Asian women and to redefining what leadership can look like in fine dining, while actively contributing to the broader conversation and future of the Chinese culinary scene.
WHAT: The executive chef of Michelin-starred Yingtao — a 2025 James Beard Best Chef: New York semifinalist (and previously at Lingo) — leads us through a contemporary interpretation of Chinese flavors, honoring tradition while redefining what Chinese food can be.
