Job Description

Pho-Gyu is an innovative fast-casual dining concept specializing in Vietnamese Pho with a unique fusion twist, located in Whittier, California. Our restaurant combines authentic culinary traditions with modern flavors, focusing on delivering an ultra-rich and flavorful Pho experience unlike any other. At the heart of our menu lies a specially crafted broth made from a blend of premium wagyu meats and bones, slow-cooked for hours to develop its distinct depth and taste. This dedication to quality and flavor sets Pho-Gyu apart as a leading new establishment in the local dining scene, attracting customers who appreciate both traditional Vietnamese cuisine and contemporary culinary creativity.

We are currently expanding our team by hiring prep and line cooks who are passionate about food and eager to contribute to our kitchen's success. This role offers a fantastic opportunity to join a vibrant, fast-growing restaurant with a competitive wage and tip-sharing benefits. Whether you are experienced in preparing Pho or other Asian noodle soups like ramen, or simply looking to enhance your kitchen skills, Pho-Gyu provides a supportive environment where you can grow professionally.

As a line or prep cook at Pho-Gyu, you will play a critical role in maintaining our high standards of food preparation and presentation. You will be responsible for preparing the signature broths and side dishes, carefully following our established recipes to ensure consistency and quality in every bowl served. The position requires proficiency with kitchen tools and equipment, including knife skills, and the ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment. We value teamwork and commitment, and in return, offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your needs.

Our pay structure is designed to reward experience and skill, with base wages ranging from $17.00 to $18.50 per hour, and an estimated $3 to $5 per hour additional earnings in tips. Those with experience making Pho or ramen professionally can expect higher pay reflecting their specialized skills. Employment is available for both full-time and part-time positions, with an expected commitment of 35 to 50 hours per week. Shifts are available during both day and night hours, allowing flexibility based on your preferences and availability.

Joining Pho-Gyu means becoming part of a team dedicated to culinary excellence and customer satisfaction. It's not just a job but a chance to be at the forefront of an exciting new restaurant concept that blends tradition with innovation. We encourage applicants with previous kitchen experience, especially those with Pho expertise, to apply and help us set new standards for Vietnamese cuisine in Whittier.
