About Black Bamboo

Black Bamboo is a brand-new Asian fusion restaurant and entertainment venue opening this summer at 57 Canal Street in Boston, steps from North Station and TD Garden. We're two experiences under one roof: a sushi and dining room serving bold, modern Asian fusion, and a high-energy entertainment space with karaoke, DJ nights, live music, trivia, and game-day viewing.

We're building our founding kitchen team from the ground up. If you want to be part of opening something exciting — and grow with us as we do — we want to meet you.

We're Hiring for Three Kitchen Roles

We're filling full- and part-time positions across the kitchen. In your application, let us know which role(s) you're interested in — and don't worry if you're a strong fit for more than one.

Line Cook (Chef)

You'll be on the line executing our Asian fusion menu — cooking to spec, plating with care, and keeping the pace during busy service.

• Prepare and cook menu items consistently to our recipes and standards
• Run a station during service and stay organized under pressure
• Maintain a clean, safe, and well-stocked workstation
• Follow all food safety, sanitation, and allergen-handling procedures
• Communicate clearly with the kitchen and front-of-house team

You're a great fit if you:

• Have prior line or prep cooking experience (Asian cuisine or sushi a strong plus, but we'll train the right person)
• Work fast, clean, and well as part of a team
• Take pride in quality and consistency

Prep Cook / Kitchen Helper

You're the backbone of the kitchen — getting us ready for every service and keeping things moving.

• Wash, chop, portion, and prep ingredients for the line
• Stock stations and rotate product following FIFO
• Assist cooks with basic cooking and assembly tasks
• Keep prep areas, walk-ins, and storage clean and organized
• Help with receiving and putting away deliveries

You're a great fit if you:

• Are reliable, hardworking, and eager to learn
• Can follow prep lists and instructions accurately
• Want a path to grow into a line cook role (we promote from within)

Dishwasher

A clean kitchen runs on you. You'll keep dishes, glassware, and equipment moving so the team never slows down.

• Operate the dish machine and hand-wash as needed
• Keep dishes, utensils, glassware, and cookware stocked and ready
• Maintain cleanliness of the dish area, floors, and trash/recycling
• Support prep and kitchen tasks during slower periods
• Follow all sanitation and safety standards

You're a great fit if you:

• Have a strong work ethic and move with a sense of urgency
• Are dependable and a true team player
• Can stand for long periods and lift up to roughly 50 lbs

What We Offer

• Competitive hourly pay: $15-30 per hour (based on role and experience)
• Free or discounted shift meals
• Flexible scheduling — full-time and part-time available
• A fun, fast-paced, team-first environment
• Ground-floor opportunity at a new venue with real room to grow

Requirements

• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States
• Must be at least 18 years old
• ServSafe Food Handler certification a plus (or willingness to obtain)
• Reliable transportation or access to public transit (we're right by North Station)
• Ability to work on your feet in a busy kitchen and lift up to roughly 50 lbs
