Job description
At Sushi Revolution we have one purpose, and that is to make our guests happy….That’s it!
We do this by offering: good food and drinks; served quickly; in a good venue; by good people; at a good price.
We respect the culture and history of Japan, but we also want to create a more contemporary style of food and design, a ‘modern izakaya’ if you will.
In Japan izakaya’s are places to eat, drink and meet. We want Sushi Revolution to be the same. We learn from the past and innovate for the future!
That’s why we say : Past meets present | tradition meets innovation
