Job description

About Fuku

First crafted as an off-menu item by chefs at David Chang’s NYC Momofuku Noodle Bar, our original sando was too good to be kept behind the counter. And then it was too big for the restaurant. So it got its own East Village joint in 2015. And it’s been Fukusanity ever since
