About

What began as intimate gatherings over dumplings transformed into multi-course tasting menus, then evolved into 24 Suns: a culinary experience that popped up across San Diego’s diverse locales. Each setting brought its own flavor, challenging us to adapt and refine our craft.

Chefs Nic Webber and Jacob Jordan, both trained in fine dining, are the visionary owners of 24 Suns.

In 2024, we proudly opened our first brick-and-mortar location, welcoming guests to a permanent home where San Diego microseasons drive our Chinese culinary techniques. Our new restaurant offers an inviting space for on-site special tasting events that explore the rich variety of Chinese cuisine blended with the fresh, vibrant ingredients of Southern California.

 

24 Suns remains available for offsite private events, bringing our unique culinary experience to your chosen venue.

While 24 Suns began as a pop-up, our journey continues.

With the opening of our first permanent location, we’re excited to deepen our roots and focus on creating a warm, inviting space for our guests. With upcoming renovations, we aim to bring even more charm and neighborhood elegance to 24 Suns, enhancing the dining experience with the support of our community.

 

We invite you to be part of this next chapter—contact us to learn more about investment opportunities and join us in shaping the future of 24 Suns.

Chef Nicholas Webber began his career working as an apprentice for a French restaurant at only 15 years old. Inspired by Jacques Pepin’s memoir he set out to work young just the same. He then attended the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley, where he found opportunities in Michelin Three Star restaurants. He discovered an obsession with dumpling and a love for Chinese food in San Francisco’s Chinatown. Nicholas proceeded to develop skills in a variety of restaurants, from French, Italian, to Korean, in San Diego and Portland. After coming back home to San Diego, returning to Addison on the Chef’s request to be a part of the Michelin pursuit, he set out on his own, starting 24 Suns Pop Up in September of 2021. 24 Suns expresses the culmination of his experience; it showcases the best of San Diego and Chinese Cuisine. Nicholas continues to use his skills in cooking and organization to advocate for his local community.

Chef Jacob Jordan grew up in San Clemente, CA. He comes from a family of great home cooks. He discovered that he loved the feeling he got from cooking for his friends and family at a young age. His professional culinary career began in Boulder, Co. where he worked at the award winning Frasca Food and Wine, cooking modern Italian cuisine. Without professional culinary experience, he worked on a trial basis for a month until he was offered a job as a cook Jacob rose through the ranks quickly utilizing the close mentorship from his chefs . He developed interest in pasta and bread baking that became the cornerstones of his culinary skills. After an accomplished tenure Jacob moved to San Diego to work at local Three Michelin starred Addison. There he met Nic Webber when they worked a station together. After a short time, Jacob lead the Addison bread program while he furthered his French technique and fine dining. He continues to use his dough skills in 24 Suns projects such as Baos, Bings, dumplings, and noodles.
