Job Details Tiny's is a new fast-casual restaurant by Chef Sang Yoon, located in the iconic South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, CA.

Familiar but refined, comforting yet precise. Our focus isn't to complicate simple food, but to execute it exceptionally well with quality ingredients, intentional technique, clean flavors, and consistent results. We're creating a space that feels energetic, organized, and genuinely enjoyable for both guests and team members. We take pride in the details, systems, and standards—working with purpose, respect, and accountability every day. Communication, growth, and teamwork define our culture.

If you value hustle, precision, and building something from the ground up, we'd love to meet you.
