CHEF KEVIN LEE
Chef Kevin J. Lee, the creative force behind PAI Honolulu, first discovered his love for cooking in the heart of San Francisco's Chinatown, under the tutelage of his grandmother and mother. He further honed his skills and knowledge at the University of California at Davis, where he earned a degree in Food Science, and at the renowned Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, from where he graduated with honors. Seeking diverse culinary experiences, Chef Kevin apprenticed at some of New York's most recognized restaurants and chefs.
His culinary journey included a stint with Floyd Cardoz at Tabla, a fine-dining Indian restaurant where he was inspired by the vibrant spices and aromas of Indian cuisine. At Oceana, a premier seafood restaurant with a French twist, he held the prestigious roles of Poissonier and Saucier, perfecting his ability to accentuate the natural flavors of the sea through simplicity. He also served as the sous chef at Michelin-rated Dovetail alongside Chef John Fraser, contributing to the restaurant's first Michelin Star. Expanding his culinary horizons, Chef Kevin also worked as a Stagier at the three Michelin-starred Bo Innovation in Hong Kong.
Before opening PAI Honolulu, Chef Kevin introduced innovative contemporary American interpretations of traditional favorites as the chef-de-cuisine at Prima Hawai‘i, contributing to the flourishing Hawaiian culinary scene. In 2017, after a four-year search for the perfect venue, he launched PAI Honolulu. The restaurant reflects Chef Kevin's unique balance of science and creativity, utilizing the highest quality ingredients and presenting dishes with an artistic flair. His passion for his craft is clearly visible in his commitment to curating as many of the ingredients used in his menus in-house.
