Description
Umami Riot was born from a simple idea: pair joyful hospitality with uncompromising craftsmanship. Founded by Chef Tim Cushman and sake expert Nancy Cushman, our restaurants celebrate bold flavor, precision, and a deep respect for Japanese foodways - translated through a distinctly Boston lens. At Umami Riot, we're not here to follow the rules of hospitality, we're here to rewrite them - with heart, craft and fearless creativity.
o ya is a refined, chef-driven dining experience rooted in precision, technique, and intentional hospitality. Every dish reflects discipline, creativity, and an uncompromising commitment to excellence. This is an opportunity to work in a Michelin-minded environment where craftsmanship matters and growth is earned through dedication to the art.
We're looking for a Sushi Line Cook who works with intention, respects the craft, and understands that precision is power.
THE GIG (AKA WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY BE DOING)
  • Intentional execution at every step - sharp cuts, clean lines, and plates that speak before words do
  • Sushi rice preparation, fish fabrication, and nigiri and sashimi executed with precision, balance, and unmistakable control
  • Clean, composed performance under pressure, where repetition builds confidence and discipline becomes muscle memory
  • Knives and specialty tools treated like extensions of the craft - sharp, respected, and always dialed in
  • Receiving, labeling, storage, rotation, breakdown, and cleaning handled with rigor and pride, holding sanitation and safety standards high
  • Calm presence on the line with clear communication, steady focus, and full commitment to nights, weekends, and holidays - the hours where the work gets serious and mastery shows

THIS ROLE IS A GREAT FIT IF...
  • You're serious about your craft and hungry to get better every day
  • You find satisfaction in precision, technique, and clean execution
  • You work calmly and confidently in fast-paced, high-expectation kitchens
  • You take pride in knife skills, organization, and discipline
  • You listen closely, move with intention, and value consistency
  • You want to grow in a kitchen where standards are real and earned

Requirements
LET'S SET EXPECTATIONS (IN A GOOD WAY)
This is a fast-paced kitchen fueled by movement, heat, music, and momentum, where you're on your feet, working with knives, fire, and focus throughout each shift.
Yes - this is a hands-on role. You'll be on your feet for long shifts, lifting up to 50 lbs., bending, reaching, and moving easily through tight spaces. A disciplined commitment to sanitation, safety, and cleanliness is part of the craft here, and we're committed to providing reasonable accommodations to support individuals in performing the essential functions of the role.
WHY PEOPLE STICK AROUND
  • Competitive hourly pay - because your work matters
  • Dining discounts across all Umami Riot locations
  • Growth that's real (not just talked about)
  • A team culture rooted in respect, creativity, and heart

Pay Range $20 - $24 per hour based on experience
