Line Cook

Position Overview

We are a everything-from-scratch ramen shop where everything is made in-house — broths, noodles, tare, oils, and toppings.

This is not an ordinary "heat up the prepackaged noodles and sauces" ramen shop  

As a Line Cook, you will be involved in real ramen cooking and daily preparation, working closely with the chef/owner to maintain consistency, quality, and technique during both prep and service.

Important Note (Sets Expectations Clearly)

This is not a "heat up premade" ramen shop.

Our line cooks participate in real cooking — from scratch-made broths, noodles, tare, and toppings — and are expected to care about technique, consistency, and quality.
