WHO WE ARE

Honu Poké is part of Kangsan Canada, a growing Winnipeg restaurant group built on operational excellence, genuine hospitality, and a team that actually cares about the work.

Our Main Street location serves fun, creative Canadian-market sushi and poké. We hold a 4.4 Google rating across 1,500+ combined reviews. That number exists because the people on our line hold a standard, every shift, every order.

No matter how busy we get, our team shows kindness and never loses passion. Customers come first, always.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

You're an experienced sushi maker who takes pride in doing things right, moves with purpose, and doesn't need to be told twice.

This is a hands-on, high-volume kitchen role. The work is fast, physical, and detail-driven, and you need to be someone who finds satisfaction in doing it well, not someone just looking to fill a shift. Punctual, open to feedback, and a great attitude on a team are non-negotiable.

If that's you, we want to talk.

WHAT THE ROLE LOOKS LIKE

You'll provide world-class service to guests, greet everyone who walks in, learn and prepare our full menu including sushi and fried items, plate food to a high visual standard, set up and stock your station, break it down at the end of your shift, solve problems on the spot to keep service smooth, and keep inventory of ingredients and takeout containers.

The standard doesn't drop because it's a Tuesday or because the rush caught you off guard. You hold it regardless.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • 2+ years sushi making experience — required
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
  • Detail-oriented in prep, plating, and station organization
  • Reliable, punctual, and genuinely team-oriented
  • Open to feedback and continuous improvement
  • Understanding of food safety and professionalism
  • Clear communicator in English
  • Post-secondary education an asset
  • Legal work status in Manitoba (we can support work-permit holders pursuing PR)

Full-time, 30–40 hours/week.
Full availability preferred; weekend work expected.
Must supply own chef tools, have a cell phone, and have reliable transportation or a valid driver's license.
Able to stand for extended periods and lift over 50 lbs.

WHAT YOU GET

  • $20–25/hr plus tips, based on experience and responsibilities
  • Real path to advancement, we promote from within, including into supervisor and management roles
  • 30% staff discount
  • On-the-job training on menu and systems
  • Discounted Corporate Fitness membership
  • A friendly, welcoming culture that helps you settle into the role fast
