At Omakase Yume, he is proud of his customer base and the trust he established with his patrons. Over the years, as his reputation grew, his regular diners began to leave their dinner choice “up to the chef,” which is the meaning of the restaurant’s name, “omakase.” Married to his wife, Kate Kim Park, Mr. Park is the proud father of two children. Initially starting in the restaurant industry because of his mother, who always served others, Mr. Park looks forward to the continued success of his restaurants in the years to come.
