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.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as a Sushi Chef in a restaurant, QSR, or food hall environment.
• 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.

What We Offer

• Training and opportunities for career progression within a growing brand.
• Be part of a supportive, passionate team bringing exciting Asian-inspired food to new audiences.
