Rifali Almunir
Head Sushi Chef

Rifali began preparing sushi over a decade ago as a teenager in his hometown of Jakarta, Japan. He began to master his craft under Master Sihimato, Indonesia's finest chef, in a Japanese-themed restaurant that fused cuisines of Japan, China, Indonesia and France. After five years under Master Sihimato, his next move found him as Lead Chef at the Grand Hyatt Jakarta, the largest international hotel in the capital of Indonesia.

After nine years with the Hyatt, Rifali's family moved to the United States where he has utilized his skills in various restaurants, most recently as the top sushi chef at Tsunami Japanese Steakhouse.

Rifali specializes in creative raw and cooked fusion combinations, and only adheres to the strict standards regarding product freshness, quality and presentation.


Louis Camire
General Manager

Louis was born and raised in Maine. He has a combined 17 years in the restaurant business, and has gathered a wealth of knowledge having been exposed to many different types of operations. After stints working service positions in a handful of restaurants, Louis journeyed into the management ranks with Host Marriot in Maine, learning much about the hospitality industry over the course of a five year stay. His next move was south to the Carolinas where he began to master his bartending, training, and management skills with various restaurant formats over the next four years. He moved to Las Vegas after being offered a position as Assistant Beverage Manager at Excalibur Hotel & Casino, overseeing food and beverage sales in excess of $800,000 per month. After two years managing at Excalibur, he accepted a General Manager position with Sammy's Woodfired Pizza. Sammy's was another high volume position that proved a great challenge for Louis. Moving back to North Carolina had always been Louis' goal, and after opening two new units with Sammy's, he made the trek back to N.C. He was introduced to Marcus through another restaurant concept, and the opportunity emerged following many in-depth conversations about the restaurant business in general. Louis is a huge asset to the company, and his wide range of skills allows him to oversee the entire operation at eeZ Fusion & Sushi.


Marcus Hall
Owner

Marcus is a North Carolina native, born and raised in Raleigh. Marcus began his journey in the restaurant business at age 16, as a dishwasher and busboy with a regional restaurant chain. Throughout the remainder of high school and as a student at North Carolina State University, he worked every position imaginable in the business with various restaurant formats ranging from fast casual to fine dining. Working kitchen, service and management positions in North Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, and for a year stint overseas in Scotland, Marcus developed a passion for providing great guest service. Living and breathing a "guest is king" mentality helped keep him focused on a daily basis, and opened up an opportunity for a new challenge in 2005. Marcus opened an American-Asian fusion concept in February, 2005. Birkdale Village provided a perfect location to operate with this menu variety, and listening to the overwhelming feedback from guests that sushi would be a great complement he made a drastic format change in late 2006. eeZ Fusion & Sushi opened with the addition of a fresh rolled to order sushi bar which proved to round out a concept already thriving off of a unique American-Asian menu blend. Marcus is committed to continuing the evolution of the concept, sticking to the "all fresh ingredients" format that has helped gain eeZ Fusion & Sushi the success it enjoys today.
