Sunny’s was founded by Sunny Ji and his family, who immigrated to El Paso from their native Korea in 2008. That’s when they opened their first location on Viscount, near Cielo Vista Mall.
Sunny’s is a family-run operation — Anna An, who is Sunny’s daughter, has been part of the business as well. The name “Sunny’s” comes from the matriarch of the family, Sunny, who co-runs the restaurant alongside her husband, Michelle (Ji).
By 2019, a decade after opening, the family had grown the business to a fourth location at the Canyons at Cimarron in Northwest El Paso — which was the subject of the article you linked. The expansion was driven by a simple but genuine motivation: Ji and his family just wanted to offer El Paso a quality option, and over the years sushi became something the city widely embraced.
