Part of Friends Hospitality Group

Our time starts when friends come together. This real friendship helps take things from possible to probable. When we come together as friends, dreams become reality.

We started our journey in 2005, as a small group of friends who wanted to build a business bettering our lives. We had a lot of planning, a lot of constructive criticism, and a lot of collaboration. Everybody in the group dedicated their talents, ideas, and physical efforts, along with generous help from overseas with designs and innovations as well. By 2007, Friends Sushi had finally made it.

Hence, we share our love for food with everybody. Everybody in our group came from different backgrounds and carries with them wonderful talents. We have accountants, renowned chefs from all over the world, hospitality managers, architects, graphic designers, event coordinators, performers, and many more. Through these differences, we are still brought together by our passion for food. Everything tastes better when we share our food with friends.
