Yuzu Sushi is a Saint-Laurent, Québec fast casual sushi franchisor headquartered at 8210 Transcanada Rd. The brand opened its first restaurant in Quebec City in 2002 and built a Québec-centered sushi network known for inventive rolls, freshness-focused menus and urban restaurant design before adding express counters alongside full restaurants. Founders Steve Morency and Frédéric Matte scaled the franchise platform from 2005 onward, then remained at the helm after MTY Food Group acquired the Yuzu Sushi and Yuzu Express network in July 2019 and folded it into its Canadian franchising portfolio. Yuzu Sushi is the concept, and the company operates as its franchisor with nearly all points franchised to local owner-operators. MTY Food Group is its parent company. The footprint is Canada-focused, with restaurants concentrated in Québec and New Brunswick from a Saint-Laurent headquarters rather than a U.S. expansion story. Restaurants are fast casual and serve lunch and dinner with Japanese and Asian sushi menus of rolls, sashimi, bowls and related plates suited to dine-in and express formats. Typical units seat about 40 guests in roughly 1,250 square feet, reflecting compact urban sushi rooms and smaller express footprints.

The Restaurant Enterprise Index focuses primarily on companies with a substantial role in restaurant operations. Investment firms, financial sponsors, and other ownership partners are generally not included unless they also play a meaningful operating role; an otherwise qualifying entity may also be omitted when sufficient reliable information is unavailable.
The ownership hierarchy follows the entity structure from the bottom up, showing the profiled entity in relation to its parent organizations, including its ultimate parent. When the entity owns or operates concepts beneath it, up to three are displayed.
