The story behind the Master.

Chef Lee worked at The Breakers from 2001 to 2006, where he was the executive chef for their fine dining Asian restaurant called Echo. He was also responsible for all the production of the sushi that went into the catering events for The Breakers hostel, estimated at half a million pieces of sushi a year. His greatest pleasure, however, is the time spent behind the sushi bar where he has the privilege of interacting with his guests to provide a unique experience that might not have even be comprised of items from his menu. Often times creating dishes for the individual based on their personal tastes.

His eagerness to explain, demonstrate and discuss his preparations and his sourcing of product has cultivated an impressive list of clients who come for the friendship as much as the food. But in 2006 when he opened the Bento Box in Wilmington, his desires was to not only continue his love of food but also to balance time behind the sushi bar with time spent amongst his family. To that end he as one of the most unique rest schedules to be found.
