Anh Sung-jae, also professionally known as Sung Anh, is a South Korean chef. His restaurant, Mosu, was awarded the rare distinction of three Michelin stars for 2023 and 2024. He was one of the two judges for the 2024 Netflix cooking contest, Culinary Class Wars.
Anh was born in South Korea but moved to the United States in 1993 at the age of 12. He grew up in California where his parents ran a Chinese restaurant. He served in the US Army as a mechanic and, after leaving the army, was set to attend mechanic school to become a Porsche mechanic. However, two weeks before mechanic school started, he stumbled upon a culinary school and signed up on the spot.
Anh apprenticed at fine dining restaurants including Urasawa, The French Laundry and Benu before opening his own restaurant in San Francisco. This was called Mosu, from the word kosumosu which means Cosmos blossom in Korean. He has since moved his restaurant to South Korea and Hong Kong.
His style of fine dining is a fusion of Asian cooking with Korean fermented ingredients presented in the classic mode of French haute cuisine. In 2024, he won a Chefs' Choice Award – an accolade of his peers across Asia.
