This fast-paced role combines omakase service with à la carte sushi and rolls.

• Prepare à la carte sushi, nigiri, sashimi, and rolls to recipe and presentation standards.
• Butcher and portion fish; prepare sushi rice, garnishes, sauces, and other mise en place.
• Shift between omakase, à la carte, and prep responsibilities during service as needed.
• Keep the sushi station clean, organized, stocked, and ready through busy service.
• Follow receiving, labeling, storage, rotation, sanitation, and food-safety procedures.
• Support opening, closing, inventory, and coordination with the culinary and service teams.
What we’re looking for
• Professional sushi experience in a Japanese restaurant, including omakase and à la carte service.
• Strong fish butchery, knife, sushi-rice, and sushi preparation skills.
• Ability to deliver polished omakase while also preparing rolls and other menu items efficiently.
• Flexibility to move between guest-facing service, à la carte production, and prep duties.
• High standards for food safety, cleanliness, consistency, and hospitality.
• Reliability, teamwork, and composure in a fast-paced kitchen.
