Weekends for the Lee family often meant trips from their home in Virginia to New York City&#8217;s Chinatown. Although Justin grew up in Virginia, his roots have always been tied to NYC, with his parents being raised as New Yorkers and his grandparents working in the <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/cozy-restaurants-bergen-county-new-jersey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">culinary<\/a> scene of Chinatown. After graduating from Virginia Tech, Chef Justin pursued his culinary dreams by enrolling at The Culinary Institute of America. He honed his skills at several well-known New York City restaurants, including the popular Locanda Verde. Most recently, Chef Justin and his business partner Jon Krieger opened Fat Choy. Throughout his career, Justin has remained focused on a clear vision: to create a dining experience centered around fresh, whole ingredients and to serve healthy, flavorful plates \u2014 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or bowls \u2014 <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-168773\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/01\/chinese-healthy-bowls-fat-choy-englewood-nj-1-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"chinese healthy bowls fat choy englewood nj\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/01\/chinese-healthy-bowls-fat-choy-englewood-nj-1-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/01\/chinese-healthy-bowls-fat-choy-englewood-nj-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/01\/chinese-healthy-bowls-fat-choy-englewood-nj-1-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/01\/chinese-healthy-bowls-fat-choy-englewood-nj-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/01\/chinese-healthy-bowls-fat-choy-englewood-nj-1-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/01\/chinese-healthy-bowls-fat-choy-englewood-nj-1-585x585.jpg 585w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/01\/chinese-healthy-bowls-fat-choy-englewood-nj-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What sets Fat Choy apart is the quality of its food.
