Sushi Chef

Full-Time | Morning Prep | Compensation Based on Experience

O by Brush is seeking a dedicated culinary professional with strong fish fabrication and sushi experience to join our team.

This is a hands-on morning prep position supporting both our sushi counter and Japanese kitchen, with a structured opportunity to grow into an Omakase Chef role.

We are looking for someone who already understands the fundamentals of sushi and fish preparation, takes pride in precision, and is eager to refine their craft in a Michelin-starred environment.

You will work closely with our culinary team on daily preparation, including:

• Whole-fish breakdown, trimming, portioning, and seafood preparation

• Sushi and sashimi mise en place

• Preparation of dashi, sauces, garnishes, and seasonal ingredients

• Hot and cold kitchen prep for our multi-course omakase menu

• Ingredient receiving, quality control, and proper storage

• Maintaining the highest standards of organization, cleanliness, and consistency

This is a collaborative position. While strong sushi skills are essential, candidates must be comfortable contributing to all areas of the kitchen.

• Strong professional experience with sushi preparation and fish fabrication

• Excellent knife skills and attention to detail

• Solid understanding of Japanese culinary fundamentals

• Respect for ingredients, technique, and consistency

• A disciplined, reliable, and collaborative approach

• Genuine interest in developing as an omakase chef

Previous omakase or Japanese fine-dining experience is highly valued and required.

Our intention is to develop the right individual into an Omakase Chef position, potentially by mid-2027.

The successful candidate will have opportunities to deepen their knowledge of premium seafood, Japanese cooking techniques, sushi preparation, and eventually guest-facing omakase service.

We value curiosity, humility, craftsmanship, and a willingness to learn.
