Tachi is a modern omakase concept inspired by Tokyo’s standing sushi bars. We combine the precision and intimacy of traditional sushi with the energy of New York City. Our menu features a concise omakase offering centered on quality, restraint, and storytelling through sushi.
We are seeking a skilled Sushi Chef to join our opening team. This is an exciting opportunity to work closely with Chef Victor Chen and be part of an intimate, high-performing sushi counter focused on consistency, quality, and hospitality.
About Our Chef
