Summary
Over the last 15 years, I have worked in several Asian restaurants in Canada. I have cooked both Asian and Western food in these establishments.
Although my English skills are not very strong, I have been able to work as a cook and sushi chef in English-only work environments without any issues.
I am committed to doing my best!
