SUHSHISAMBA opened its first restaurant in New York in 1999 and has become one of the most famous restaurant chains in the world. Why? Because of its unique mix of Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian culture and cuisine. And then we’re not even talking about the music, art and design of the restaurant.
In case you Googled SUSHISAMBA, then you know that the restaurants have this theater-like look. It has an open space, huge windows and an open kitchen with a big grill. The chefs are in the spotlight and to be honest, how nice is it to look at how your food is getting made? The interior is also inspired by the three culture muses of Japan, Brazil and Peru. And secretly we hope that SUSHISAMBA Amsterdam will look like the one in London!
