Sushi Cook | Sake a Gogo (NuLu) | $20-$25+ per hour

$20–$25+ per hour based on experience and ability
Dinner Only | Tuesday–Saturday

Sakea Gogo is looking for a talented, motivated Sushi Cook to join one of Louisville’s premier sushi bars.

This is an incredible opportunity for someone who already has sushi experience and wants to take their skills to the next level while working alongside Chef Deden “Benny” Bandi — @benny_blade and our experienced sushi team.

You’ll start with a strong focus on daily sushi prep and roll production during service, while continuing to develop the precision and technique required for nigiri, sashimi, fish fabrication, and ultimately omakase-level sushi preparation.

• Complete daily sushi bar prep and maintain exceptional organization and cleanliness
• Work the sushi bar during dinner service, primarily producing maki and specialty rolls
• Learn and develop nigiri, sashimi, fish cutting and advanced sushi techniques
• Maintain extremely high standards for freshness, presentation and consistency
• Work closely with our sushi chefs and culinary leadership
• Support an elevated, fast-paced guest experience

Previous sushi experience is strongly preferred. More importantly, we’re looking for someone with strong knife skills, attention to detail, discipline and a genuine desire to learn.

You should be comfortable working in a high-volume environment while maintaining the precision expected from an elevated Japanese restaurant.

Sake A Go Go is currently open Tuesday through Saturday for dinner only.

Friday and Saturday night availability is mandatory.

$20–$25+ per hour based on experience and demonstrated ability.

For the right person, this is much more than a cook position. There is significant opportunity to grow your sushi knowledge, learn directly from an accomplished chef, develop omakase-level skills and ultimately advance into a salaried culinary role.

If you’re serious about sushi and want to learn from one of the best, we want to meet you.
