Meet Our Chef Jyeondia

Chef Jyeondia Rice is the founder of N Da Kitchen, which he started in 2017 with a simple but powerful belief: food should feel like home. Growing up, he learned to cook by watching his elders take their time in the kitchen—seasoning carefully, cooking low and slow, and making sure everyone was fed. Those early lessons shaped not just his cooking style, but his respect for food as a way to bring people together.

At N Da Kitchen, Chef Jyeondia carries that same tradition into every dish he prepares. From rib tips and wings to burgers and late-night comfort plates, each meal reflects patience, consistency, and care. His cooking is rooted in family recipes and real-life experience, focusing on flavors that feel familiar and satisfying. When guests order from N Da Kitchen, they’re not just enjoying a meal—they’re sharing in a story built on tradition, heart, and a genuine love for feeding people.
