Sushi Chef

Tachi – Hell’s Kitchen, NYC

Tachi is a modern omakase concept inspired by Tokyo’s standing sushi bars. We combine the precision and intimacy of traditional sushi with the energy of New York City. Our menu features a concise omakase offering centered on quality, restraint, and storytelling through sushi.

We are seeking a skilled Sushi Chef to join our opening team. This is an exciting opportunity to work closely with Chef Victor Chen and be part of an intimate, high-performing sushi counter focused on consistency, quality, and hospitality.

His philosophy blends Edomae fundamentals with restraint, seasonality, and narrative—balancing precision with warmth.

As part of the team, you’ll work alongside Chef Victor, gaining direct exposure to his approach and the opportunity to grow within a thoughtful, expanding organization.
