Our approach is simple: serve comforting food, use quality ingredients and create an atmosphere that feels considered but never formal.

We're looking for new faces to join our kitchen team: someone who loves good food, works well with others, and is ready to bring energy, care, and attention to every dish.

What we offer:

  • Competitive hourly wage depending on experience

  • Tips

  • Staff meals that won't disappoint you

  • A fun, supportive team that learns together

  • Room to grow within a fast-developing concept

  • Training in Japanese hospitality and ramen culture


· Chef de Partie - Full time / Part time

As a Chef de Partie, you'll take responsibility for your own section in the kitchen. You'll prepare dishes with care, keep your station clean and organised, and support a smooth service from mise en place through to closing. You'll also be trained across all sections of the kitchen by our experienced Japanese chefs, from fryer and cold section to grill, ramen plating and noodle cooker.

· Kitchen Lead - Full time / Part time

As a Kitchen Lead, you'll run your own section while helping oversee the wider kitchen during service. You'll make sure dishes are prepared to the right standard, stations stay organised, and the team keeps pace during busy periods. You'll coordinate with the service team, communicate priorities clearly, support and guide other kitchen staff, and step in to solve operational issues quickly so service runs smoothly from start to finish.

What you'll do

  • Complete mise en place and keep your section fully prepared before and throughout service

  • Prepare and execute dishes with care, consistency, and attention to detail

  • Maintain a clean, organised, and well-stocked workstation at all times

  • Follow recipes, preparation methods, and presentation standards consistently

  • Work closely with the wider kitchen and service team to keep orders moving smoothly and on time

  • Communicate clearly during service and flag any issues, shortages, or delays early

  • Follow food safety, hygiene, and closing procedures carefully

  • Jump in wherever needed to support the team and keep the kitchen running smoothly

What we're looking for

  • A genuine interest in Japanese cuisine and food culture

  • Previous kitchen experience is a plus, but passion, attitude, and willingness to learn matter more

  • Comfortable working in a busy, fast-paced kitchen environment

  • A team-first mindset and willingness to support wherever needed

  • Available for a minimum of 3 days per week, including evenings and weekends

  • Fluent in English; Dutch, Japanese, or other languages are a bonus

If you're ready to bring care, energy, and consistency to our kitchen, we'd love to hear from you.
