Perched beneath the iconic Story Bridge, Yoko Dining pulses with Tokyo energy at Brisbane’s historic Howard Smith Wharves.

Inspired by the dynamism of Harajuku streets and the vibrancy of Tokyo nightlife, Yoko is a bustling, pop-infused Japanese restaurant that delivers high-octane service, a bold drinks program, and a share-style menu that moves from pristine sashimi to wagyu cooked over hibachi flames.

We’re on the lookout for experienced section waiters who thrive in fast-paced environments, bring energy to the floor, and have a genuine love for food, wine, and great hospitality. If you’re someone who lights up a room—and a section—this one’s for you.
