An Iconic Restaurant. A Visionary Chef. A Bold New Era.

Join Chef Danny Bowien — the trailblazing force behind Mission Chinese — and the Buddakan team as we redefine the future of Chinese cuisine.

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

We're creating a surreal dining experience where the serenity of Asia meets the flamboyance of 16th-century Paris. Ornate chandeliers, gilded details, and otherworldly art set the stage for an immersive culinary journey — soon to include boundary-pushing dishes inspired by Chef Danny’s bold and inventive spirit.

This position offers a comprehensive package including:

  • A base salary range of $85,000 - $95,000
  • 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:
  • 3+ years of kitchen leadership experience in high-volume food focused operations
  • Motivational leadership qualities, including the ability to inspire, teach, and coach employees
  • Excellent time management skills and supervisory skills in a large space
  • The ability to drive the success of service by supporting expediting and staff shortages
  • The ability to support restaurant ordering, inventory, and cost control
