The Team

Christopher “Tex” Texeira
Executive Chef, NOBU LANAIBorn and raised on Kailua on Oahu, Chef Tex jumped right into the culinary world after high school, attending the KCC Culinary Arts Program in Oahu and never looking back. He now brings more than 15 years of experience to NOBU LANAI, being well-versed in Nobu’s famed philosophy and style, having worked in the kitchens at Nobu Waikiki before heading to Lanai to help open our Resort’s restaurant in 2012. He couldn’t stay away for long, though, and ultimately returned to Lanai in 2013, eager to enjoy the island’s peaceful quietness and become a member of our close-knit community.
