Line Cook

About Somssi:

Somssi is a neighborhood bistro in Greenwich Village that opened in June 2026. Led by Managing Partner Ahris Kim and developed in partnership with NA:EUN Hospitality—the team behind Atoboy, Atomix, and NARO—its name reflects a sense of craft: skill shaped through time, instinct, and experience.

Our menu of shareable plates draws from Asian and European ingredients and techniques, with a nod to immigrant nostalgia. A well-traveled wine list, sake, and playful “little beverages” round out the table.

Since opening, Somssi has earned one-star critic's pick from The New York Times and recognition from The New Yorker, Eater, New York Magazine, and The Infatuation. The New Yorker praised the restaurant’s “almost radical confidence in both the service and the cuisine.”

Somssi is warm, lively, and generous. A place to gather, discover something new, and feel taken care of. We bring that same care to the people we work beside.

As we grow our opening-year team, we’re looking for curious, thoughtful people who take pride in their craft, want to keep learning, and enjoy building something together.
