Chef Christine Lau

Christine Lau was raised in Oakland, CA by parents who emigrated from Hong Kong. Her Chinese American cuisine is strongly influenced by her upbringing in the Bay Area, her years working in New York City, and the cultural diversity that define both.

Christine has been recognized for her culinary efforts over the years in major publications including Eater New York's 15 Best Dishes of 2020, Condé Nast Traveler: The Best New Restaurants in the World: 2021 The Hot List, and Food & Wine magazine's Best Bites of 2021. In 2022, Christine's restaurant, Kimika was named a semifinalist for the James Beard Foundation Best New Restaurant award, and lauded by Pete Wells of the New York Times: “It takes a light hand to mash up Italian and Japanese cuisines and not get mush. At Kimika, that hand belongs to Christine Lau.”

In July 2023, Christine created the menu at Chino Grande in Brooklyn, New York, where her food pays homage to New York City's Chinese Latin American restaurants from the 1960's and 70's.

Currently, Christine is consulting on various projects around the globe and can also be found popping up in cities across America on her quest to connect cultures through food.
