Join the Founding Team of Momofuku Abu Dhabi | Opening Soon at The Grove, Saadiyat Island

Momofuku is bringing its bold, culture-shifting energy to The Grove at Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi—and we're building the founding team that will bring it to life. Born in New York City and created by Chef David Chang, Momofuku revolutionized modern dining by combining boundary-breaking Asian-American cuisine with an electric atmosphere, open kitchens, hip-hop beats, and service driven by personality rather than scripts. Forget stiff, traditional fine dining—this is a place where individuality is celebrated, genuine human connection creates unforgettable guest experiences, and excellence is the standard every day.

This is more than a job opportunity—it's a chance to be part of one of the most anticipated restaurant openings in the UAE. Whether you're front of house, back of house, or in a leadership role, we are looking for passionate, energetic individuals who bring character, confidence, and a desire to grow. If you're ready to elevate your career, express your authentic self, and help redefine hospitality in Abu Dhabi, we want to hear from you.
