Our company
Sushi Ari — our company and branches
Sushi Ari began with one restaurant in Sippy Downs in 2018. Today SUSHI ARI PTY LTD is a registered franchisor standing behind 10 Sushi Ari restaurants and two Ari-Cha tea houses on the Sunshine Coast.
Twelve locations, and another to come
One restaurant in 2018 became five by the end of 2023 and ten by the end of 2025, with Lilywood still to come — alongside the two Ari-Cha tea houses. Every location works to the same recipes, suppliers and food-safety standards set at the flagship.
