This is to be expected: each of these 4 lines contains "sushi".

All regular expressions I know have a way for expressing the concept "word
boundary".
This is a zero-length assumption (or "anchor"), that matches a transition
from a word character
to a non-word character. (Note that the definition of "word character" may
not *always*
meet your expectations, but it should in this case.)

(The "==" is bad: you want to do a pattern match.) OK, to restrict the
"sushi" to the
real thing (assuming the final "???" aren't relevant):
brandName matches "(?i)(...|... ...|\\bsushi\\b)"
"\b" is the word boundary anchor, and you have to duplicate the backslash,
as in Java.
If the same borderline case should hold for pizza and others, you could use
brandName matches
"(?i).*\\b(cyber|internet|pizza|restaurant|sushi)\\b.*"
All of this is untested, but it shouldn't be very far off the mark.
