We're looking for a Sushi Apprentice who is eager to develop their skills under the guidance of experienced chefs while contributing to a kitchen culture built on precision, teamwork, and hospitality. This is an opportunity to learn the foundations of sushi preparation, knife skills, seafood handling, and Japanese culinary techniques in a fast-paced, high-standard environment.

  • Are eager to learn and grow in a professional kitchen environment.
  • Thrive in fast-paced settings and stay focused under pressure.
  • Pay attention to the small details that separate good from great.
  • Show up ready to contribute, support your teammates, and improve every day.
  • Value hospitality, teamwork, and taking pride in your work.

Previous kitchen experience is helpful, but a strong work ethic, positive attitude, and willingness to learn are even more important.
