Ideally you would be an all round chef that specialise in east asian food styles.

Tasks

We are looking for a versatile, energetic chef to join our team, specializing in Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Indonesian cuisine. While you will be the specialist for the Wok station, your greatest strength is your flexibility: you will move effortlessly throughout the kitchen to ensure the speed of the entire operation. In our high-volume kitchen, we maintain a gold standard of a 10-minute service time per dish. Because our Wok section covers a specific portion of the menu, you will be primarily proactive in supporting the Sushi, Teppanyaki (BOH), and Deep-fry stations to maintain optimal throughput.

Your Role:

• Flexible Support: Constantly monitoring flow and assisting colleagues at the Sushi, Grill, or Deep-fry stations as soon as pressure increases.
• Wok Mastery: Taking full responsibility for all Wok dishes (Chinese, Korean, and Indonesian style) with speed and precision.
• Flow Management: Your main priority is preventing bottlenecks so that the team consistently meets the 10-minute target.

Requirements

What we require:

• Extensive experience with East Asian cooking techniques at various stations.
• A proactive, team-first attitude—you recognize where help is needed before it's even asked.
• The ability to work calmly and quickly during busy, high-volume shifts.

Benefits

Housing is provided if needed as well as food on your work days though the chef take turn preparing food for each other so you might have to make food for the staff once or twice a week. If you are living here you can also get food on your days off.

If you are interested please send us your CV. We will always try to respond to any inquiries. We would move to a phone call to find out more information about your cituation and circumstance and if things fit we would invite you to a formal interview either online or in person.
