the owner and chef
takashi yagihashi
For the last 20 years, Takashi has been praised for his contemporary French cuisine enhanced by American and Asia twists.
He was most recently executive chef at Okada, at Wynn Las Vegas, the resort’s energetic, contemporary Japanese restaurant, for close to 2 years. Previously, he was Executive Chef of Tribute Restaurant in Farmington Hills, Michigan, where he won numerous national accolades for a menu that spotlighted modern French cuisine with an eclectic Asian twist.
In 2000 Food & Wine pronounced Yagihashi one of America’s Ten Best New Chefs, and in 2003, he was named James Beard Foundation Best Chef: Midwest.
Takashi is currently on the Macy’s Culinary Council, and is overseeing the development of a noodles and sushi quick service restaurant at Macy’s on State street in Chicago. He is also running his own restaurant, Takashi, which opened last December 31st.
