About Lucky Danger 
Lucky Danger isn't your typical American Chinese restaurant—it’s an evolution. We describe it as "American-Chinese by a Chinese-American," a concept that takes the nostalgic flavors we all grew up with and elevates them through the lens of classic culinary technique and high-quality ingredients. It’s fast, it’s intense, and it’s deeply rooted in the idea that this specific cuisine deserves the same level of respect and care as every other cuisine.

We’re part of Tim Ma Hospitality, which means we value systems and precision just as much as we value flavor. At Lucky Danger, we work hard, move fast, and take immense pride in being the neighborhood’s go-to spot. We’re looking for people who want to master a unique craft and grow with a brand that is redefining what modern American-Chinese food looks like.

• Quality Control: Help the Sous Chefs audit station setups and taste components daily to ensure consistency.
• Opening/Closing: Take ownership of opening or closing duties, ensuring the kitchen starts and ends the day in perfect condition.

• A team player with a strong work ethic and a "student of the craft" mentality.
• Highly organized and reliable.

What We Offer
