Founding
Hissho Sushi
In 1989, Hissho Sushi founder Philip Maung arrived in America with little money and a dream of making a new life. He found his calling in the emerging supermarket sushi industry and spent years learning every facet of the sushi business.
In 1998, Philip and his wife Kristina pooled their finances to form Hissho Sushi and founded the company in the family dining room. The company began providing fresh sushi daily to supermarkets and cafés.
Today, Hissho Sushi is a dynamic food-service and distribution company managing and operating more than 2,500+ sushi bars across the U.S.
As our company continues to expand, we remain more committed than ever to exceeding our customers’ expectations and providing the highest quality sushi.
