Fast paced and early hours

Sushi artisan (Former Employee) - Buckhurst Hill - 31 August 2023

The people were really nice people, but I wouldn’t recommend it as your first job as its very fast paced. You also have to watch out for early hours and will probably need some previous kitchen skills.

Pros

Paid lunches

Cons

Long hours on feet and early starts

Stressful place not respectful

The most stressful place that I ever worked, management didn’t give the proper training to all team , sometimes working through all day without a lunch break and without owner/manager help

Pros

Flexible schedule/ free sushi

Cons

Long hours not having enough time to have a little break

Not really busy, good working hours, but low salary

Sushi Chef (Former Employee) - Greater London - 29 January 2023

It is a good place if you are looking for morning shift, depending on where you work it will be more or less busy, depending on whether you work for the company or for a franchisee you will have better or worse working conditions

Fast and productive

Sushi Chef (Current Employee) - Paddock Wood - 25 March 2022

Being in the food industry the no1 job is to clean as you go. Then it you will be making sushi as fast your hands can make. While interacting with the customers. It is good place to get into the sushi business. Anyone interested or likes eating sushi would enjoy working here. Pro: free sushi for lunch (depends on location)Con: risk of hand injure from repetitive movements.

Long hours / very small Kiosk / Poor management and lack of staffs

Chef (Former Employee) - Oxford, Oxfordshire - 7 September 2021

Very long hours for just stand there and making sushi in small kiosk . Only 2-3 persons in kiosk and a lots of work to be done on time!! Start very early morning which is fine but every time I start work the manager always panicking and rush us to work quickly so we can make lots of products for the day. Lack of staffs and management. There’s only 2 person in the morning shift and when I was working there I have to work with my manager every morning and to be honest it just make the job more stressful. Overall the job is fine but not the best job if you looking for life balances, teamwork and good environment. I have left the job when the pandemic happen

Pros

Good salary

Cons

Long hours, lots pressure working in early morning, bad management

They make freshly hand made sushi daily.

Supervisor/Team Leader (Current Employee) - Bath, Somerset - 5 August 2021

They make freshly hand made sushi for their customers and their standard are too high to make sure their customers are getting the fresh and safe food daily and for some people is easy and for some people is not so it’s better u think 🤔 before u say yes u can do this job without trying it and that is the reason when u go for interview after u r selected in the interview they give u trial shift and ask u after if it suits u or not and if it does then u can Cary on working with them they don’t put pressure on u and they work together like a small family and give u the rota as per ur availability to Make ur self available for ur other commitments u may have.

Pros

Free sushi/ discounted food / free fruits 🍎 Holidays Paid.

Cons

No music 🎼 on job and can’t consume any food during work inside kitchen.

Pros

nice collegues from the old team

Cons

the management is unfair, unreilable

Worst company I've ever worked for

Junior cook (Former Employee) - Worcester - 14 September 2020

Kicked to the curb within 3 WEEKS of employment for "slow progress" knowing full well I had to be trained from scratch, that was the reason I was given.. Extremely unprofessional through out.. Expect you to know Japanese names of food then make fun of you in their language when you didn't know. Worst management and worst company I've ever worked for

Pros

Pay

Cons

Unprofessional, impossible to do your job

Unorganized, nothing to learn

KP (Current Employee) - London, Greater London - 1 July 2020

Messy, stressful shifts , never finish in time They dont train you so there is no opportunity to move forward. Salary is also low, should be reviewed more often.

Pros

Free sushi

Cons

low salary, no training provided

Long Hours

Team Leader - Sushi Chef (Current Employee) - Oxford Street - 23 February 2020

Everyone has roughly the same level of work loans. The work is pretty demanding, too much preparation to organise in a short time before rush hour times and you cannot keep a drink in the kiosk if your feeling dehydrated. Long hours from keeping your head down and working, strains your neck and causes stress on the shoulders and back. It's good you get a free meal for lunch, but on very busy days there's no time to make your lunch.

They need robots not people!

Cook/Kitchen Assistant (Former Employee) - Worcester, Worcestershire - 13 October 2019

They don't explain you basic things but expect you to know and do them. When I asked about the menus they had and how many should be done,I was just answered this was not for me to know. So I was struggling to know what to put inside the sushi and had the need to be asking all the time. They accept you to work without kitchen experience but they will make fun of you in their language (they speak very poor english) and boring faces when you ask things. They give you wrong instructions and after make you feel like a fool. You will be required to stock the kitchen products with japanese names you probably never knew before but you need to remember all of them by your second day of work. When you are a newbie they will expect you to do some of the difficult work they don't want to do while they keep chatting and rolling sushi. You will still be told you are slow even when they are not faster than you and cut themselves all the time (but you can't because you are new). You need to be able to manage the kitchen tasks and talk with customers ouside the kiosk at the same time.

They would expect you to be treated as slaves !

Kitchen Assistant (Former Employee) - Bath, Somerset - 11 October 2019

They will give you shifts and expect to finish the task at certain time whilst they have given you hectic jobs ! ( plus they’d call you time to time to tell you while you’re still working ) Most applicants don’t last here for more than a week , the owners , have very unbelievable expectations If you get assigned in the kitchen , expect long hours , they don’t care if you get sick , they will still want you to work! You would be expected to work on your own with kitchen and entertaining of customers

Pros

Free sushi

Cons

Too demanding, pays once a month, sometimes late

Unfair

Kitchen Assistant (Current Employee) - London - 30 July 2019

Workers often exceed their contractual hours, which makes the rota absolutely unfair. The place isn’t as professional as you would think and the wage is pretty low than should be expected for such a demanding job.

Fun workplace but a little too relaxed

Sushi Artisan (Former Employee) - Exeter - 19 January 2019

This was my first paid job, so it was a perfect atmosphere, with a great boss, flexible hours and exciting, rewarding work. I was able to work as many hours as I wanted, fitting it around my college timetable which was ideal. I really enjoyed this job for a couple months, however, as business slowed down, I often had no jobs to occupy my shift and would be waiting around for something to do as there was an unnecessary amount of staff on shift at the same time.

Pros

Flexible hours/shifts

Cons

Nothing to do during the shift
