We are currently seeking a dedicated and passionate Sushi Chef to join our team at our Beaverton location at 2545 SW Cedar Hills Blvd. This role offers competitive wages ranging from $18 to $22 per hour, with the potential for earnings up to $27 per hour including tips. Employment is part-time, with team members working around 25 hours or more per week, entitled to a robust benefits package including health and life insurance, paid vacation time starting at two weeks per year, and a 401(k) plan with company matching.

As a Sushi Chef at Bamboo Sushi, you will collaborate closely with both kitchen and front-of-house teams to prepare fresh, aesthetically pleasing sushi that delights our guests and encourages repeat visits. You will have opportunities to develop and refine your skills across three specialized stations: the Roll Station where you will focus on vegetable preparation, rice perfection, and rolling techniques; the Front Station which emphasizes fish butchering, nigiri crafting, omakase creation, and direct guest interaction at the sushi bar; and the Wheel Station tasked with coordinating orders and crafting sushi rolls, nigiri, and sashimi flawlessly. This role combines creativity, precision, and teamwork in a lively restaurant setting where attention to detail and commitment to food safety and cleanliness are paramount.

The work environment at Bamboo Sushi is fast-paced and energetic, requiring physical stamina to move throughout the kitchen, handle tools skillfully, and taste the products to maintain the highest quality standards.
