Sushi is one of those skills that takes years to build, and restaurants that take it seriously look hard for the right hands. Shanghai Me in Dubai is now hiring a Sushi Chef, which is a strong opening for anyone who already loves working with fish, rice and precise knife work.
Shanghai Me is known as a stylish Asian restaurant, so the standard on the plate and the pace in the kitchen are both likely to be high. If you are ready for that, read on.
| Company | Shanghai Me |
| Position | Sushi Chef |
| Location | Dubai, UAE |
| Job Type | Full-time (confirm in official listing) |
What the role involves
- Prepare sushi, sashimi, rolls and other cold dishes to the restaurant’s recipes and presentation standards
- Cut fish and ingredients cleanly and with minimal waste
- Cook and season sushi rice properly and keep it at the right quality through service
- Follow food safety and hygiene rules, including correct storage and temperatures
- Keep your station organised and clean, and support the wider kitchen team
What to bring with you
Hands-on sushi experience in a restaurant or hotel kitchen is the main thing. Good knife skills, a calm head during rush hours and an eye for neat plating will set you apart. A food hygiene certificate is usually expected in Dubai kitchens, so check what the listing asks for. Being able to take direction from the head chef and work well in a team matters just as much as talent.
Why it is a good move
A sushi chef role at a respected restaurant is more than a pay slip. You learn from experienced chefs, work with quality produce and build a name in the Dubai dining scene. If you have been in a smaller kitchen, this kind of venue can push your skills to the next level.
