Meet The Chefs
Meet Nobuyaki Matsuhisa, the acclaimed and highly influential founding chef of the globally renowned Nobu, and Pingping Poh, who leads the team at Nobu Perth.
Nobuyuki Matsuhisa
Nobu
Nobu traces his professional ambition to the day his older brother took him to a sushi restaurant for the first time. He knew he was destined for a career in the kitchen.
After school, Nobu spent seven years working in a Tokyo sushi restaurant, before accepting an offer to open a restaurant in Lima. Weaving Peruvian influences into his dishes, this was the creation of his signature style.
Nobu opened ‘Matsuhisa’ in LA to rave reviews and instant success. It was here that his long-time friendship and business relationship with Robert De Niro began. At De Niro’s urging they opened Nobu in New York City in 1994 – it too was an instant hit.
Nobu now spans across 49 restaurants worldwide with an impeccable reputation world-wide for providing a unique dining experience.
Chef De Cuisine Pingping Poh
Nobu Perth
Pingping Poh had an unlikely change in career direction in her early twenties, transitioning from accountant to chef as she discovered her love for all things food. She made the decision to start her adventure at Crown Perth.
Starting at Crown as an apprentice chef in 2009, Pingping immersed herself in her new career path as she worked in a number of kitchens throughout the complex, developing an exceptional skillset and an unmatched drive for success.
Testament to her dedication, Pingping was announced WA’s apprentice of the year in 2011 and upon completion of her apprenticeship, commenced in Nobu as a Commis Chef. Through her hard work she now heads the kitchen as Chef de Cuisine, making her the first female ever appointed in this role.
Pingping moved to Perth at 19 years old from Malaysia. She was brought up immersed in culture, cooking traditional cuisine, which has undoubtedly played part in her affinity for Asian cuisine.
Pingping brings a fresh and vibrant energy to the Nobu kitchen and enjoys the creativity in developing innovative fusion-style dishes with her team.
