Buddakan, the iconic NYC dining institution in the heart of the Meatpacking District, is seeking a passionate and driven Sous Chef to join our dynamic team as we embark on this exciting new chapter.

  • Quarterly bonus program
  • Referral bonus programs
  • Paid vacation and sick time
  • Medical, dental, and vision benefits coverage
  • Dining discounts at over 25 affiliated STARR Restaurants
    - and more!
Desired candidates will be:
  • Humble in their approach to learning and professional self-development
  • Passionate about using Asian ingredients in a unique and exciting way
  • Energetic and enthusiastic and possess strong communication and organizational skills
Desired candidates will have:
  • Leadership qualities, including the ability to inspire, teach, and coach restaurant employees
  • 2+ years of kitchen leadership experience as a sous chef in high-volume and well-rated restaurants 
  • The ability to support the line during service while managing transition from prep to service

The surreal atmosphere of this awe-inspiring restaurant in the Meatpacking district of Manhattan combines the serenity of Asia with the flamboyance of 16th century Paris. The menu features fanciful interpretations of Chinese dishes and delights even the most discriminating palates. - Open Table

“Stunning” decor lends a “dark, sexy” backdrop to the “trendy” scene at Chelsea multilevel “mega room”, a “bigger-than-life experience” where the “energetic” crowd is “blown away” by “flavorful” Asian dishes. - Zagat
