Minimum 5 years of sushi chef experience in high-end restaurants is required
Strong knife skills and confidence with fish butchery and portioning
Calm, professional counter presence with a guest-first mindset
Exceptional cleanliness, organization, and consistency
Team-oriented, reliable, and able to perform at a high level during busy services
Deep knowledge of Japanese cuisine, seasonality, and traditional technique is a major plus

Schedule & Compensation:

Schedule based on availability and service needs
Competitive pay based on experience
