Job Details

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.

Responsibilities

Service (During Operations)

  • Prepare and assemble ramen during service
  • Cook noodles with proper timing and texture control
  • Manage broth temperature and consistency
  • Accurately portion tare, aromatic oils, and toppings
  • Plate and serve ramen with attention to detail and speed
  • Communicate clearly with teammates during busy services


Prep Work (From Scratch)

  • Assist with broth preparation
    • Preparing bones
    • Vegetable and dried ingredient prep
  • Prepare tare, aromatic oils, and toppings
    • Chashu (braised pork)
    • Ajitama (marinated eggs)
    • Menma, garnishes, and other components
  • Daily prep focused on freshness and quality — zero pre-made products


Quality & Sanitation

  • Maintain a clean and organized workstation
  • Follow proper food safety, labeling, and storage procedures
  • Uphold kitchen standards at all times

Team & Growth

  • Learn and execute the chef’s recipes and techniques accurately
  • Stay calm and focused in a fast-paced environment
  • Assist with limited-time and seasonal ramen (experience-dependent)
  • Grow as a cook through hands-on, from-scratch cooking

Ideal Candidate

  • Passionate about cooking and learning technique
  • Interested in from-scratch food and craftsmanship
  • Works well in a fast-paced, team-oriented kitchen
  • Physically able to stand for long periods and handle kitchen work
  • Long-term interest in improving as a cook or chef
  • Big love for ramen


Experience

  • Kitchen experience preferred but not required
  • Ramen experience not required
  • Training provided
  • Culinary curiosity and work ethic are essential


Important Note (Sets Expectations Clearly)

This is not a “heat up premade” ramen shop.

Our line cooks participate in real cooking — from scratch-made broths, noodles, tare, and toppings — and are expected to care about technique, consistency, and quality.

Japanese, Ramen

Casual Dining

At ZAO, we use no preservatives.
Every element of our ramen—noodles, broth, aromatic oils, tare, and toppings—is prepared fresh in-house each day. From local free-range chicken and eggs to seasonal vegetables, and even rare ingredients sourced from Japan, each bowl is crafted with uncompromising care.
Our hope is that everyone, from the youngest children to adults, can enjoy our ramen with peace of mind and leave with a smile.
We devote ourselves to bringing out the fullest expression of each ingredient.
Depending on the season and even the day’s climate, we adjust the richness of the broth, the hydration of the noodles, and even the origin and ratio of the wheat we use.
We are a small ramen shop here in Bethesda, and because we stand in the kitchen every day ourselves, our aim is not to serve something that is always the same, but rather to offer “the very best bowl for today.”
— This is the spirit of ZAO’s Ramen.
