After 14 years of perfecting its wildly popular, Ninja-themed sushi concept, Sus Hi Eatstation is launching a nationwide franchise opportunity, transforming from a Florida cult favorite into a bold new player in the fast-casual restaurant arena.
SUS HI EATSTATION GOES NATIONAL, INVITES ENTREPRENEURS TO JOIN ITS NINJA SUSHI REVOLUTION
It began in 2011 with a single location in Orlando and a vision as creative as the food it served. Now, after 14 years of culinary innovation, community building, and Ninja-level brand loyalty, Sus Hi Eatstation is stepping onto the national stage. The beloved fast-casual sushi brand is officially launching its franchise program, opening the doors for entrepreneurs to bring the concept to neighborhoods across the United States.
Founded by husband-and-wife team Robert and Teresa Ly, Sus Hi Eatstation is not your average sushi restaurant. It’s an experience. A cultural statement. A movement wrapped in seaweed and rice. Known for its customizable sushi rolls, bowls, and burritos, the brand brings fun and flavor together in a way that has built a passionate following. Guests become “Ninjas,” employees embrace the dojo culture, and the brand’s entire identity plays out like a high-energy sushi training camp. And that’s just the beginning.
“We didn’t want to be just another sushi spot,” said CEO and founder Robert Ly. “We created a place where sushi is accessible, exciting, and engaging. After more than a decade of growth, refinement, and connection with our community, we are ready to share the magic with franchisees who are hungry for something different.”

The restaurant’s commitment to quality ingredients, unforgettable service, and an immersive guest experience has positioned it as a local favorite and a rising force in the national scene.
The brand’s growth has not gone unnoticed.

Additional recognition includes top rankings in the Bright House Regional Business Awards and multiple nods for “Best Sushi” from Orlando Weekly.
