Exciting things are happening at SASA as we grow into 2026, and we’re on the lookout for a talented chef to join our team full-time!
We’re a close-knit group made up of both experienced hands and fresh faces—all passionate about great service, good food, and creating a supportive team environment.
We’re currently looking to bring on a new kitchen assistant to strengthen our kitchen team.
What we’re looking for:
- Kitchen Assistant (working across, grill, tempura, pan and pastry)
- Fast and efficient in service
- Calm under pressure
We’ve adapted our work culture to reflect what matters most: a healthy work-life balance and plenty of time outside the kitchen to recharge.
In this role, you’ll be our Kitchen Assistant, working closely with and reporting directly to our head chef and owner. The ideal candidate will have some experience in kitchens and an interest in Japanese cuisine.
During service, you’ll be responsible for:
- Working on either the grill, tempura, pan sections
- Keeping your station clean and organized
- Working quickly and adapting to changes as needed
Before service:
- Setting up your workspace
- Preparing mise en place for your section and other sections within your team
After service:
- Cleaning down your station and helping close the kitchen
In general, we’re after someone who:
- Communicates clearly and works well with the whole team
- Brings a kind and open attitude to the kitchen
- Has a genuine interest in dish development—we’re constantly evolving our menu, so if that excites you, there’ll be plenty of opportunities to get involved
If this sounds like the kind of kitchen where you'd thrive, we’d love to hear from you!
