Our Story

Bento Sushi got its start in 1996 in downtown Toronto as a small takeout shop offering sushi, bento boxes and ready-to-eat foods. Since then, we have grown to become Canada’s largest sushi company, with an increasing presence in the United States, and are now positioned as one of the world’s largest sushi companies outside of Japan.  What remains the same, despite our growth, is our commitment in providing an environment where our team knows we care about their personal and professional development.

Our success has been built on our mission statement:

“To be the customer’s choice for quick service sushi based on excellence, trust, innovation and service”.

At present, Bento Sushi has over 1,400 employees, who work to provide total customer satisfaction by offering food products that represent value, adhere to strict food safety and quality specifications, and are clearly superior to those of the competition. We pride ourselves on the ability to bring together a dynamic team of people with diverse backgrounds, experience and talent, to create an exceptional guest experience.
