Position Overview
We are a everything-from-scratch ramen shop where everything is made in-house — broths, noodles, tare, oils, and toppings.
This is not an ordinary “heat up the prepackaged noodles and sauces” ramen shop
As a Line Cook, you will be involved in real ramen cooking and daily preparation, working closely with the chef/owner to maintain consistency, quality, and technique during both prep and service.
