Job description

Overview

JKS Restaurants and Plaza Khao Gaeng are seeking a Sous Chef to help lead the kitchen operations in a brand new opening in central London. The successful candidate will have previous relevant experience and passion for Asian cuisine. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Sous Chef looking for a new role in an award winning, critically acclaimed group.

Plaza Khao Gaeng — Khao gaeng broadly means ‘curry over rice’. Plaza Khao Gaeng is a Southern Thai restaurant, a celebration of the coast to jungle cuisine. It’s a kaleidoscope of curries thick with fresh coconut milk and aromatic curry pastes, fermented fish for depth, and searingly hot stir fries with cooling herbs alongside. The concept draws inspiration from places like those that have transformed old theatres into dining experiences, with curries set out in gleaming trays and a vibrant entrance.
