Chef Kun

楼兰 · Named for the Ancient Silk Road

Authentic Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisine from a former Norwegian Cruise Line Assistant Executive Chef. High-volume precision, deep flavors, built for teams that want something real. $25/person · 50–500 guests.

Named after Loulan (楼兰) — the legendary Silk Road oasis city in Xinjiang where East met West during the Han Dynasty. A crossroads of culture. A lost civilization. A name worth carrying forward.

Chef Kun of Loulan — culinary professional and former Norwegian Cruise Line Assistant Executive Chef

Cruise Ship Kitchens. Silk Road Flavors.

"Consistent, high-quality meals tailored for corporate dining."

Chef Kun is a seasoned culinary professional with international experience behind him — including a role as Assistant Executive Chef with Norwegian Cruise Line, where feeding thousands of guests daily across diverse global cuisines is just Tuesday. He brings that same infrastructure thinking to every corporate spread: no chaos, no shortcuts, just reliable execution at scale.

"His approach combines authentic flavors with efficient execution, ensuring every meal is both satisfying and reliable for teams of all sizes."

Under his brand Loulan — named after the legendary ancient Silk Road city that once connected China to the world — Chef Kun offers two distinct cuisine styles: Chinese and Southeast Asian. Both menus are built from his deep experience with regional cooking, not approximations. The cumin beef is Xinjiang. The rendang is Malaysian. The three cup chicken is Taiwanese. He doesn't flatten the world into a single "Asian" category.

Chef Kun operates out of the Culinary Block commissary in the Bay Area, and his food is delivered, labeled, and staged by the CBC team. Every item comes with individual dietary labels. Every spread is ready before your team walks in.
