About Chef David Bouhadana

David Bouhadana is a sushi expert who discovered his love for the craft while in Boca Raton, Fla., as an 18-year-old waiter. In order to hone his sushi-making skills and become one of the most established sushi chefs in New York City, Bouhadana spent most of his early 20’s training in the Kansai region of Japan with masters of sushi preparation.

He returned to the states to work in the country’s biggest city and cut his teeth at sushi restaurants such as Sushi Uo and Morimoto. Bouhadana then moved on to Sushi Dojo and Sushi on Jones where he grew his reputation and gained a loyal following. His work behind the omakase counter has been appreciated by many, which allowed him to open his own signature sushi restaurant in Midtown New York.

Bouhadana’s success as a sushi chef speaks for itself. He was named one of the top chefs in the country under 30 by Zagat, and he even won a New York Emmy Award for his web series Shokunin: An Eater Series hosted by David Bouhadana.
