About Chef Luis Castro
To Chef Luis Castro, Castro’s Restaurant is an album of memories.
Having developed a love and respect of farm-to-table cooking at a young
A age while growing up in Bogota, Colombia, Castro’s Restaurant is an ode
to his journey as chef and a reflection of his roots.
Chef Luis started his career in the kitchen working as a cook in Colombia during high school. After a whirlwind of relocating in pursuit of growth, he found himself working in prestigious positions such as Executive Sous Chef for Morimoto Asia Waikiki and Chef de Cuisine for Michael Mina’s Stripsteak Waikiki. When his love and craving for the latin flavors he grew up eating overpowered his need to learn the next technique, he decided it was time to open a restaurant of his own.
