INTRODUCTION TO MATŪ

We’re looking for leaders to join our team. Matū is a different take on what a steak restaurant can be. Our intent is to reconnect people to the joy and benefits of eating beef - great beef. Great in all respects - taste, health, sustainability and humane treatment.

Matū is part of the extended family of restaurants that include Sushi Nozawa Group (SUGARFISH, KazuNori, Nozawa Bar,) UOVO and HiHo Cheeseburger. While all four are separate businesses, they share the same passion for great food and share many of the same founders and owners.

According to TimeOut LA “Matū is a full-knee-bend genuflection to some of the finest beef you’ll find anywhere in the city” and we have been on Eater’s list of Hottest New Restaurants in LA every month since opening. And most recently, Matū was nominated by the USA Today as one of the best new restaurants in the nation.

Come join our team as we set out to show Angelinos how great beef can be.
