Sushi Chef – Quick Service Restaurant Sheffield

Alongside our tech-led restaurants, we operate five inamo sukoshi (meaning “little inamo”) locations across Central London, Manchester, and Sheffield.

inamo sukoshi brings knockout sushi and fusion street food, inspired by flavours across Asia, to vibrant food hall-style venues. Guests can enjoy some of our award-winning dishes from the main restaurants — including our signature Dragon Rolls, Korean BBQ Ribs, and the new Chicken Katsu Curry — all served with the speed and flair of a QSR concept.

We’re now looking for a skilled Sushi Chef to join our Sheffield team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with proven sushi-making experience who thrives in a high-energy, fast-paced kitchen.

• Assist with daily opening and closing procedures.
• Maintain your section to the highest standards, keeping the kitchen clean and organised.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as a Sushi Chef in a restaurant, QSR, or food hall environment (must have experience).
• A passion for service, people, and fresh food, with strong attention to detail.
• Ability to work quickly under pressure while maintaining accuracy and quality.
• High energy and positivity – you’ll be working in a fast-paced environment serving hundreds of guests daily.
• A hunger to learn and develop further; we’ll support you during induction, then you’ll help support others once you’re confident.
• In the spirit of kaizen (continuous improvement), you’re always looking for ways to improve and raise standards.

• Pay rate: £14.00 per hour
• Training and opportunities for career progression within a growing brand.
