Matsudai at Home is hiring team members for seasonal roles at Ramen HQ, Taffs Well.
Matsudai Ramen is Wales’ first and only purveyor of no-corners-cut cult ramen, shipping all over the UK.
Jay Rayner, for the Observer – “I ordered one during one of the longer lockdowns and it was a joyous burst of sunshine at our table amid the darkness. The tonkotsu broths, made by boiling pork bones for a dozen hours or more until the stock takes on a white, creamy, lip-smacking, gelatine-rich vigour, had profound depth. The noodles had necessary bite. The eggs had perfectly jellied yolks; remarkable when served in a restaurant, a small miracle when delivered halfway across the country.” Jay Rayner, for the Observer
We're looking for lovely, dynamic people to join our team in Taffs Well, where we create hundreds of restaurant-quality ramen kits each week, as well as supplying our Grangetown ramen bar.
What's the job?
Join us for our busiest 6 months, September-February, to pack and ship hundreds of our ramen kits all over the UK.
You’ll be part of our small, dedicated team who portion, package, assemble and ship our kits in our production kitchen and packing area, keeping our space clean and organised along the way. This role demands standing, and some lifting and carrying. Full training is provided.
Our focus is on quality, efficiency and attention to detail.
What are we looking for?

Important qualities
Above all, we’re seeking dynamic, productive, helpful people who can pick things up quickly, spot what needs to be done and support their colleagues.
If you bring positivity, good communication and pride in your work, we’d love to meet you.
Working with Matsudai at Home
There’s lots to learn and lots to be done and we’d love to develop and utilise your skills if Matsudai is a good fit for you.
We can teach you the intricacies of ramen, give you an insight into production planning, professional kitchens, inventory management or customer service.
This is an opportunity to be an integral part of a small, dedicated and supportive team who care about delivering incredible food across the country, and have fun doing it.
Working week
We’re currently open Monday – Friday, with shifts between 8am – 10pm, plus Saturdays in our busiest months. Shifts can be picked up flexibly around other jobs and passions, or you can commit to minimum hours each week.
