Job Title: Food Runner / Expo.

Location: Kissaki Manhasset.

Cuisine: Contemporary Japanese / Omakase / Sushi.

Service Style: Fine dining, counter and table service.

About Kissaki Manhasset:

Kissaki Manhasset, which opened in late 2023, is a distinguished Japanese restaurant blending tradition and modernity. Anchored in the art of omakase and kaiseki, the restaurant emphasizes mindful sourcing, seasonality, and exceptional craftsmanship. Under the direction of Executive Chef Edgar Valerio, Kissaki delivers a refined and immersive dining experience—balancing creativity, precision, and hospitality.

The ambiance is elegant and intimate, with dim lighting, sleek finishes, and a layout that includes an omakase sushi counter, bar seating, and main dining areas. The menu spans hot and cold appetizers, artfully presented nigiri and maki, signature entrées like uni pasta and wagyu fried rice, and seasonal dessert offerings. Reservations are strongly recommended given its limited seating and premium positioning.
