Job Details

We're looking for a full-time Sushi Roller to join our tight-knit kitchen team!

The role is hands-on, the food is fresh, and we'll teach you everything you need to know.

No professional experience required - just bring a great attitude, reliability, and a willingness to learn. We're serious about doing things right and following systems, but we also keep things fun and supportive.

The role will be:

  • Full-time (approx. 40 hours) spread over 4 days each week - get 3 days off!
  • 4 days typically in our East Village location, but may also move around to our West Village or Williamsburg location when needed
  • $22/hour
  • Must have weekend availability
  • Start date ASAP beginning with fully paid training with our fantastic kitchen team

You'll be a great fit if you:

  • Are reliable, show up on time and ready to go
  • Work hard, stay focused, and don't cut corners
  • Are good at working under pressure
  • Have an open schedule, including ability to work on weekends
  • Are proactive, self-motivated and take initiative
  • Communicate clearly and solve problems as they come up
  • Love being part of a collaborative team and creating good vibes
  • Are eager to learn and open to feedback
  • Are detail-oriented, follow systems and care about getting the details right

What you'll do in the role:

  • Prepare sushi rice and other simple ingredients according to established recipes and standards
  • Roll sushi hand rolls for our customers in-store (we can teach you everything)
  • Assist with prep in our central kitchen
  • Maintain a clean workstation and ensure all food handling and safety guidelines are strictly followed
  • Participate in inventory management, including tracking supplies and reporting shortages as needed

How to apply:

Please submit by email to [email protected]:

  • A copy of your resume
  • A 1-minute video introducing yourself - nothing fancy! Just tell us who you are, why you're interested in this role, and what makes you a great teammate.

We won't schedule interviews without a video - this helps us find people who are genuinely interested and ready to show up.

We're a small team that cares a lot about doing things properly, treating people well, and serving really good food. If that sounds like your kind of place, we'd love to hear from you.

Part of Sushi Counter

Having missed the grab-and-go hand rolls one can find on most street corners in our hometown of Melbourne, we opened Sushi Counter to introduce the wonderful people of NYC to Aussie-style hand rolls.

We may have a small footprint, but we have a big dream - to make fresh, high quality hand rolls you can afford every day of the week.

Roll on in any time, we promise you’ll be greeted with a big smile!
