Jay Youngdong Ch

The Climb

At Y'east, the work sits with Cho Young-dong (also shown as Youngdong Cho) in the role of chef & owner, with the kitchen framed around Eastern culinary culture and a contemporary technique set.

Today

The stated aim at Y'east is direct: preserve what holds, update what can move, and shape Eastern culinary culture through present-day techniques and sensibilities. That line, from Cho Young-dong (also shown as Youngdong Cho), sets the brief for the room.

Signature

The roasted chicken menu is listed as one of Jay's signature dishes, and it points to a menu built around a defined house reference rather than breadth for its own sake.

In Their Words “We do not simply preserve tradition, we move it forward, reimagining Eastern culinary culture through the techniques and sensibilities of today.”
