Richard Chen joins Wynn Las Vegas as the Executive Chef of Wing Lei, a restaurant offering haute Chinese cuisine.

Chef Chen served as both the Chef de Cuisine and Manager of Shanghai Terrace at The Peninsula Chicago. There, he earned critical acclaim from both local and national media for his signature “reverse fusion” style – cuisine that artfully uses Western ingredients and techniques in preparing traditional Chinese classics.

Chicago magazine named the restaurant as one of the “Best New Restaurants” in 2002 and Zagat listed Shanghai Terrace in the “Top Food, Service and Décor” category.

Chef Chen began his career at the age of seven, working in his parents’ restaurant in his native Taiwan. When his family moved to the United States and reestablished a new restaurant in Chicago, Chen continued to work with them, but decided to formalize his culinary education by attending the Culinary Institute in Hyde Park, New York. After graduation, Chen remained in New York for two years where he worked at Vista International Hotel in the World Trade
