Commis Chef – ENDO Chelsea

At ENDO Chelsea, there are only ten seats. Every guest sits in front of Chef Kazutoshi Endo as he cooks, sharing the food, craftsmanship and spirit of Japan in his own way. It’s an intimate room where every detail matters, and every person on the team is part of the experience.

We’re looking for a Commis Chef to join our small, close-knit kitchen team and support the ENDO omakase experience, learning directly alongside Chef Endo.

Who you are

• Someone who genuinely values connection with your team, because in a space this small we rely on each other completely
• Respectful, warm and calm, with the guests, with the craft, and with the people you work alongside
• Curious about Japanese cuisine, from sushi and seasonal ingredients to traditional techniques (experience is a plus, eagerness to learn matters more)
• Precise and proud of your work, with high standards and attention to detail
• Hungry to learn, take feedback well, and ready to master the fundamentals with patience

What you’ll do

• Support the kitchen team with daily prep, mise en place and service for the ENDO omakase
• Learn the techniques behind each course, from handling fish to preparing rice and seasonal garnishes
• Work in full view of guests, with the quiet focus and care the counter demands
• Keep your section immaculate and organised, following the highest standards of hygiene and food safety
• Work closely with the chefs and front-of-house team to deliver a seamless experience

What we offer

• Competitive salary, plus a share of service charge and tips
• Delicious, nutritious team meals
• 50% off food and drinks across all our restaurants
• Personalised training and development to help you grow your career
• A day off on your birthday, to celebrate you
• Annual Christmas party and referral bonuses
• A creative, dynamic culture built on excellence
• Access to Wagestream for managing your pay
• 30 days’ paid holiday a year for a healthy work-life balance
• The chance to learn from one of the most respected names in sushi, within the Creative Restaurant Group
