INTRODUCTION TO MATŪ
We’re looking for leaders to join our team. Matū is a different take on what a steak restaurant can be. Our intent is to reconnect people to the joy and benefits of eating beef - great beef. Great in all respects - taste, health, sustainability and humane treatment.
Matū is part of the extended family of restaurants that include Sushi Nozawa Group (SUGARFISH, KazuNori, Nozawa Bar,) UOVO and HiHo Cheeseburger. While all four are separate businesses, they share the same passion for great food and share many of the same founders and owners.
In a little over a year, Matū has become the most talked about steak restaurant in the city. Los Angeles Magazine hailed it one of 2022’s best new restaurants. According to TimeOutLA “Matū is a full-knee-bend genuflection to some of the finest beef you’ll find anywhere in the city.” Infatuation LA called it an “indulgence of the highest variety” and one of “The Best Date Night Restaurants in Los Angeles”. Most importantly, our guests love it and keep coming back. Come join our team as we set out to show Angelenos how great beef can be.
