Meet the Chefs
Meet the people behind Velvet Wok.
Driven by a passion for Asian cuisine, our chefs bring experience, creativity and attention to detail to every dish.
TWO GENERATIONS. ONE SHARED PASSION.
At the heart of the Velvet Wok kitchen are mother and daughter, Cheryl and Jasmine.
Working side by side, they bring two generations of ideas, experience and creativity together, united by a shared love of Asian cuisine and a vision for what Velvet Wok should be.
