A portrait of you.

James Woo Jin

Representative

James studied Architecture at U.C. Berkeley, where he developed a deep appreciation for design, culture, and systems of craft.

 

After completing his military service in Korea, his growing fascination with Mexican cuisine led him to Mexico City, where he trained at Le Cordon Bleu México. He later joined Pujol as the restaurant’s first Asian chef, gaining invaluable experience in one of the world’s most influential kitchens.

 

His work bridges cultural storytelling with a long-term commitment to expanding and elevating Mexican gastronomy in new contexts. Most recently, he was named La Liste Talent of the Year 2026, becoming the first Asian chef to receive a Michelin star for Mexican cuisine.
