NAKIMUSHI is a new dual-format Japanese townhouse from the team behind Michelin-starred Dorian, EEL Sushi, Supermarket of Dreams and the Notting Hill Fish + Meat Shop.
Created through a collaboration between two popular residencies — Urchin by chef Yuji Shimokawa Kelly and Robin’s Ramen by chef Robin Kosuge — NAKIMUSHI brings two distinct but complementary Japanese dining experiences together under one roof.
The ground floor will operate as a fast-paced ramen bar with an open kitchen and shared seating, while the upper-floor restaurant and bar will explore a broader style of Japanese cooking, centred around ramen, robata-grilled seafood, carefully sourced meat and exceptional produce.
We are now looking for an experienced Waiter to join the opening team.
You will deliver confident, attentive and personable service in a busy, high-end restaurant environment. You will guide guests through the menu, provide thoughtful recommendations and work closely with the kitchen, bar and wider front-of-house team to create a seamless experience.
You will be expected to:
Welcome guests warmly and provide polished, knowledgeable service
Learn and confidently explain the food and drinks menus
Take accurate orders and manage your section efficiently
Anticipate guests’ needs without making the service feel formal or forced
Maintain excellent presentation and cleanliness standards
Communicate clearly with the kitchen and bar during busy services
Contribute positively to a supportive and ambitious opening team
You will need a minimum of two years’ experience in a fast-paced, high-end restaurant.
You should also have:
Strong communication and guest-engagement skills
Excellent attention to detail
Good food and drink knowledge
The ability to remain calm and organised under pressure
A professional but natural service style
Reliability, flexibility and a genuine team mentality
Availability to work evenings and weekends
This is an opportunity to join an ambitious new opening, work with exceptional produce and become part of a growing collection of food-led Notting Hill businesses.
