FAQs About Sushi Chef Jobs

Most restaurants will require at least two years of experience working as a Sushi Chef or in a similar role. They will look for candidates who are familiar with Japanese cuisine and ingredients as well as different types of sushi and sushi preparation techniques.

A Sushi Chef’s job requires good hand-eye coordination and physical stamina for standing for long periods — sometimes up to 12 hours a day.

Sushi Chefs also need to be able to lift and carry heavy stuff such as heavy containers of ingredients and kitchen equipment.

A good Sushi Chef resume should highlight your sushi-related experience and the culinary school training or certifications you possess.

Mention both soft skills, such as communication and teamwork, and hard skills, such as proficiency in Japanese or knife and fish prep skills.

To make sure your CV looks clean and professional, use an easy-to-read layout with consistent fonts and headings.

Here are a few examples of interview questions you can expect when applying for Sushi Chef jobs

  • Tell me about your experience working with different types of fish to make sushi. 
  • Are you familiar with different sushi cutting techniques like usuzukuri or hirazukuri?
  • Walk me through the process of creating uramaki.
