Sushisamba
American sushi restaurant chain
Sushisamba (stylized as SUSHISAMBA, SushiSamba, or Sushi Samba) is an American sushi restaurant chain. Its cuisine is a blend between Peruvian, Japanese, and Brazilian. There are eleven locations and the chain's restaurants have won many awards.
History
Sushisamba was founded in 1999 in New York City by Shimon Bokovza, an Israeli entrepreneur. There are 11 locations across 3 continents and 8 countries. It was inspired by the food of Japanese workers who came to South America to cultivate coffee plantations. Its name comes from the combining of the words "sushi" and "samba", a Brazilian musical genre.
It was independently owned by the Sushisamba Group from 1999 to 2023 before being acquired by Shamal Holding, a Dubai-based investment firm.

“Sushisamba” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Sushisamba, American and sushi provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q134962013. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1999 and 2023.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
