JONATHAN GILL
EXECUTIVE CHEF
Jonathan Gill is the Executive Chef of Five Spice in Lake Oswego, Oregon. Jonathan joined the kitchen after leading the kitchen of Ringside Fish House in downtown Portland where he worked as Executive Chef for 3 years. Before Ringside Fish House, Jonathan cooked in some of the best kitchens in San Francisco, New York and Tokyo, where he lived and worked for a decade.
Jonathan was born in Kingston, Ontario, and later moved to Southern California with his family. He grew up around farms and food. His grandparents were third generation sheep farmers in Canada, where Jonathan spent every summer as a child. Closer to home, Jonathan grew up in Carpentaria, CA, well known for its flowers and avocados. An enterprising child, Jonathan worked selling flowers and vegetables while still in high school, as part of his Future Farmers of America curriculum. After high school, Jonathan joined the US Navy and by way of the USS Kitty Hawk, he embarked on a life changing mission to Japan. After 4 years in the Navy, Jonathan enrolled in Western Culinary Institute, determined to find his way back to Japan. While in Japan, Jonathan worked at the Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo and the Shangri-La Hotel, specializing in cooking contemporary French and American cuisine with heavy Japanese influences. After a decade in Japan, Jonathan ventured to New York City to cook with James Beard award winning Chef Marco Canora at INSIEME, during which time the restaurant was awarded a Michelin star. After New York, Jonathan and his family moved to San Francisco, California. There, he worked in some of the city’s most esteemed kitchens, including Flour + Water and Park Tavern. An opportunity with Ringside Fish House brought Jonathan to Portland, Oregon where he currently resides.
Jonathan is honored to lead the kitchen at Five Spice Seafood and Wine Bar and to explore the incredible culinary ingredients that Oregon has to offer. Jonathan cooks with the seasons, using the best product from local farmers, artisans and fisherman. Jonathan’s culinary style is influenced by his decade in Japan, his greatest mentor Chef Marco Canora, Italian and Northern Californian style of cuisine, and the bounty of California and the Northwest.
When he is not cooking in the kitchen, Jonathan enjoys fishing for Steelhead and trout and spending time with his family. He is an active supporter of Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry, Meals on Wheels, and No Farms No Food, part of the American Farmland Trust.

“This is my first visit to Five Spice Seafood. The venue is lovely and situated above beautiful Lake Oswego. The interior is modern and comfortable with lots of glass windows taking advantage of the spectacular views. The wine selection is excellent with many unique options by the glass. Our waiter provided outstanding service and wine/food suggestions. The ambience and dining experience was fantastic. I’ll be back on my next visit!”
“Really amazing food and flavor!! Great venue and amazing staff. Everything on the menu is so tasty and packed with flavor.”
“A phenomenal restaurant with spectacular views! Not to mention, excellent service. We traipsed in here while visiting from L.A., and after only one bite of the crab cake, both agreed it was the best one we’d ever had! The drinks are strong and tasty. If we are in the area again, we will undoubtedly be back.”
