Our Story
As a child, growing up in the streets of a bustling city in the Philippines, Albert developed a passion for food from not having. At the age of 7 he learned to handpick and purchase groceries on his own. By age 14 Albert became the breadwinner of his family, supporting his parents and brothers.
Albert developed a love for sushi and its artistry, while working for 9 years under the tutelage of a traditional Japanese sushi chef, securing the knowledge of how to prepare fish and seafood to a high standard.
In 2013, Albert moved to Canada and worked in various restaurants in and around Toronto which opened up his palate to a world of different flavours, textures and cuisines. Through experimentation and exploration, Albert began winning praise and awards from chefs at various well-known restaurants.
Amid the pandemic when restaurants were closed for dine-in, Albert seized this opportunity to start his own business from home. This was the beginning of Albi Sushi + Kitchen! From selling from home to friends and family, it quickly grew to corporate catering, food festivals and finally opening a kiosk at a Toronto shopping centre.
