Our company
Sushi Ari — our company and branches
Sushi Ari began with one restaurant in Sippy Downs in 2018. Today SUSHI ARI PTY LTD stands behind 11 Sushi Ari restaurants and two Ari-Cha tea houses on the Sunshine Coast, several of them independently operated branches run by their own branch managers.
Thirteen locations, and a fourteenth later in 2026
One restaurant in 2018 became five by the end of 2023 and eleven by the end of 2025, with Lilywood opening later in 2026 — alongside the two Ari-Cha tea houses. Every branch works to the same recipes, suppliers and food-safety standards set at the flagship.
