The story behind Glass Box was to create a dining experience where guests could truly see the artistry behind their food. Too often, the preparation process is hidden in restaurants, and diners miss out on that connection with their chefs. At Glass Box, Executive Chef and Owner, Ethan Yang, wanted to break down that barrier and offer full transparency – both literally and figuratively. The name reflects the restaurant’s unique design: a supersized glass-walled space that offers guests a front-row seat to the art of sushi making. With Glass Box, transparency is at the heart of everything – allowing guests to watch their meals come to life. It’s about building trust, showcasing skill, and elevating the dining experience beyond just the plate.
