As we continue to grow, we’re looking for passionate cooks to join our team and help bring our vision of Chinese-American food to life — one full plate at a time.
About Us
Mamahuhu’s founding team includes Brandon Jew of Mister Jiu’s in San Francisco’s Chinatown and Anmao Sun and Ben Moore of Hunter Gatherer, a farm-to-table restaurant group in Shanghai, China. With experience spanning fine dining to fast casual, China to California, our team is united by a shared love for Chinese-American food and a commitment to sustainability, quality sourcing, and community.
Our mission is simple: to create Happier and Healthier Communities by spreading the joy of Chinese-American fare and tradition.
Job Overview
Mamahuhu’s kitchen is built around our custom-made wok range. At 120,000 BTUs each, our wok burners are capable of transforming ingredients in seconds and creating complex, unique flavors. The speed of wok cooking requires everything to be ready before service begins — vegetables cut carefully, marinated meats sliced thinly, sauces prepared, and everything in its place. Our entire BOH team must work together closely to prepare for each service, ensuring everything comes together in a fast-paced environment.
As a Line Cook, you are responsible for cooking and preparing menu items while following food safety protocols. We have 2 woks, a fry station, and a cold station. You must properly execute all menu items in a timely fashion, ensuring that each dish meets our high quality standards. Monitoring prepped ingredient levels and maintaining sufficient quantities at all times is an integral part of your role.
We are seeking proactive individuals who love working in a fast-paced, demanding environment and want an arena in which to grow as our company continues to expand.
