Due to her grandparents’ impact, little Yu started learning and cooking for herself at the age of 8 not only because she is interested in food, but also because she has a passion for cooking good food for families and friends. After Yu received her bachelor’s degree in China, she went to continue study in Hospitality Management at Florida International University (FIU) and received her master’s degree in Hospitality Management in 2011.

After married with Dr. Lei, this couple decided to work hard together and make Yu’s dream come true, they started to open the first 107 Taste in February 2016, in Westchester, FL on 107th Ave (this is how the name “107 Taste” come from) right across FIU main campus. Since then, this couple has been working even harder because they want to bring gourmet food to more people in South FL. The second location of 107 Taste opened in March 2019 at Miami Lakes, FL; the third location opened at the end of 2019 at Plantation, FL; the fourth location opened at the end of 2021 at Brickell, FL; and the fifth location will be open at the beginning of 2022 at Coral Gables, FL.

The menus of 107 Taste are carefully prepared with unique and trendy Asian food and traditional Asian flavors. Since the restaurants opened, Chef Yu and Dr. Lei had traveled to various Asian countries to taste the local Asian cuisine and propose new ideas for recipes. Guest service and satisfaction are their top priority, and the first thing in the company’s core value is “Be a host!”, simply explaining as “Treating our guests as friends and families!”

All the 107 Taste locations provide a relaxing atmosphere and the best service in town, and they always try their best to give the guests a wonderful and unforgettable experience and memory, “A Bite of Asia” is their slogan. Besides dining in, all restaurants branch also work with Ubereats online ordering system, so whenever the guests do not feel like dining out but still want to taste the delicious food at home, they can always place an order online and get the freshly made dish delivered home. As they always said: “All team members at the restaurants are waiting to serve delicious food to our dear guests!”
