🍣 Prime All-You-Can-Eat Sushi Restaurant for Sale | Near South Coast Plaza | $299,000
$ 299,000
**A Rare Opportunity You Don't Want to Miss!** Step into ownership of a thriving, turnkey all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant strategically positioned near one of Southern California's most iconic and high-traffic retail destinations — South Coast Plaza. This is your chance to acquire a polished, profitable dining establishment in a premier location without the headaches of starting from scratch. **Why This Business Stands Out:** This isn't just a restaurant — it's a fully operational, revenue-generating enterprise ready for its next visionary owner. With a modern buildout and equipment all under 7 years old, you're inheriting a clean, well-maintained operation that minimizes capital expenditure from day one. Three years remain on the existing lease, offering immediate stability and peace of mind as you settle in and grow. **An Unbeatable Location:** Nestled within a vibrant shopping center anchored by a nationally recognized retailer and surrounded by well-known franchise brands, this restaurant benefits from a constant, built-in flow of hungry shoppers and diners. Ample customer and employee parking means frictionless visits for your guests and a stress-free environment for your team — a detail that truly sets this location apart. **Profitable Even in a Challenging Economy:** In a time when many food and beverage businesses are feeling the pressure of a slowing economy, this restaurant continues to generate profit — a testament to its loyal customer base, strong brand presence, and operational efficiency. The all-you-can-eat sushi concept remains one of the most compelling and enduring dining formats, consistently drawing families, groups, and sushi enthusiasts of all kinds. **Everything You Need, Included:** The sale package is exceptionally comprehensive, including all restaurant equipment, existing lease rights, and — perhaps most valuably — a **beer and wine license**, a coveted asset that significantly enhances revenue potential and the overall dining experience. **The Story Behind the Sale:** This is not a distressed sale. The current partners, having successfully built this operation together, are simply pursuing different individual business ventures. Their shared decision to sell is your opportunity to acquire something truly special. 📋 *Serious inquiries only. A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is required prior to the release of detailed financials.* 📞 **Contact Listing Agent Kay Lee - (951) 902-0009 / kaybrlee@gmail.com ** for more information, to obtain the NDA, and to schedule a private viewing. --- *Don't let this opportunity pass — quality restaurant businesses in premium locations at this price point are exceptionally rare.*

Market Sushi
$ 87,000
CF : $ 143,268
A stable standalone sushi bar business located inside a large market is now available for sale. The store benefits from consistent daily foot traffic and has been operating steadily. This location opened in March 2025, and March 7, 2026 marks its one-year anniversary of operation. Unlike smaller sushi kiosks that are shared with the deli department, this is a larger standalone sushi kiosk with an approximately 14-foot display case. The store managers at the market are very hands-off and do not interfere with daily operations, allowing the owner to run the business independently. The business is currently owner-operated with no employees and has been managed successfully as a one-person operation for an extended period of time. After the sale is completed, the Seller is willing to provide training for up to three (3) employees to help ensure a smooth and stable transition for the Buyer. The Seller will assist the new operating team by providing practical operational training and day-to-day business knowledge. The average monthly gross sales are approximately $36,597, with an average monthly net income of about $11,939. The business operates in-store sales only, without delivery services such as DoorDash. This allows for a simple operating structure and relatively flexible closing hours. The business operates as a sushi bar inside a large market, benefiting from steady customer traffic. Approximately 39% of the gross sales are paid to the headquarters as a fee, which includes rent, electricity, and most utilities, so there are very few additional fixed expenses. Sales are processed through the market’s cashier system, and the headquarters settles the account and pays the owner once per month. ^^
