Sushi Nori Celebrates 10 Years of Redefining Fast Casual Japanese Dining in the Philippines

5 Min Read

Sushi Nori, one of the metro’s leading Japanese dining chains, marks its 10th year of serving sushi and Japanese favorites that Filipinos have grown to love. Since its first branch opened at SM Aura in 2015, the brand has expanded from a single concept into a household favorite. Known for making sushi more approachable, it has combined authentic Japanese techniques with flavors suited for the Filipino palate, bringing joy to customers whether dining in or ordering delivery.

Rolling Towards a Decade of Success

Over the last decade, Sushi Nori has grown from one branch to nine locations across Metro Manila. It has built its reputation on sushi rolls, temaki, and poké bowls that are accessible to all ages. The brand’s mission is clear: to make sushi fresh, fun, and affordable while keeping quality at the center.

“Sushi Nori was born out of a simple idea, which was to make sushi less intimidating and more approachable for everyone,” said Milka Romero, Founder and CEO of Sushi Nori. “We wanted to prove that Japanese food could be fresh, fun, and accessible without losing the quality people deserve. That mission still drives us today as we continue to bring sushi closer to Filipinos in every way we can.”
