Sushirrito is changing the way we eat sushi by blending premium sushi ingredients and the shape and convenience of burritos to deliver fresh, convenient, large, and handheld sushi burritos. Each burrito is infused with unique multicultural flavors and can be turned into bowls or salads for the ultimate menu that everyone will love. Try classic salmon poke with a Latin twist in the Latin Ninja Roll, crispy shrimp tempura in the Sumo Crunch or spicy chicken karaage in the Fiery Chicken.
Rooster & Rice, which was named one of QSR’s 40/40 concepts in 2022, was created by two long-time restaurateurs, Bryan Lew and Tommy Chareon, who set out to create a simple, healthy and clean food concept based on Asian recipes to appeal to their Bay Area hometown. Starting out as a weekend pop-up, Rooster & Rice quickly gained traction in San Francisco and in 2019 partnered with Aroi Hospitality Group (AHG) which includes two former food delivery app founders, Caviar, to expand the brand nationally. The concept’s mission is to bring Asian street food into the mainstream. Customers are encouraged to try one of the main bowls which all pay homage to a simplistic, healthy and comforting meal of chicken and rice.
