About & Resume
Nang Ying Kyeinkham — goes by Ying Jein
I supervise the sushi counter at Seven Seas Sushi in Pikesville — five years there, promoted from line cook to running the station. I am also a nail technician, and I dance Shan traditional dance.
I grew up in Shan State, in eastern Myanmar, and cooked for a living before I ever left it — five years at Maomamkham, a family food business in Muse, making traditional Burmese and Shan dishes, hand-rolling the noodles and the meatballs, holding recipes steady across large batches for daily service and for community events.
Sushi is precise work of the same kind. Nigiri, onigiri, sashimi and more than twenty varieties of roll, to a fixed standard: the same cut, the same weight of rice, the same shape, across hundreds of orders a service. Five years at that counter is how you end up supervising it. I run a team of six — scheduling, training new hires on cuts and plating, inventory and ordering for the sushi side, and the food safety standards that raw fish demands.
The catering is the part people do not see from a stool at the counter. I scale production for events from fifty guests to five hundred, build the large-format platters and trays, then work the event end to end: loading out, setting up the service stations at the venue, serving through the night, breaking it all down afterwards.
Nails are the newer trade and the same instinct. Small surfaces, steady hands, and somebody sitting across from you for an hour. I take clients at AMC Nails in Catonsville — manicures, pedicures, gel and hand-painted nail art — while I keep working the kitchen, and I am pursuing my Maryland licensure.
