Business Description

Rare opportunity to acquire a long-established Japanese and sushi restaurant in the highly desirable prime West LA location. With a history dating back more than 50 years, this restaurant has built a longstanding reputation for traditional Japanese cuisine, quality ingredients, and an authentic dining experience.
The restaurant currently generates approximately $600,000 in seller-reported annual sales while operating only about 22 hours per week, with limited evening hours and closures two days per week. The current owner previously offered lunch service but elected not to resume it following the pandemic, creating a significant opportunity for a new operator to expand hours and increase utilization of the location.
The restaurant features a substantial, well-maintained buildout designed for a quality sushi operation, including a modern sushi bar, premium refrigeration, blast freezer for sushi-grade fish and, an outdoor patio, and seating/capacity for approximately 90+ guests. Current rent is approximately $7,000 per month in a prime West LA location.
Additional growth opportunities include restoring lunch service, expanding operating hours, increasing takeout and delivery, and further developing the restaurant's omakase and premium dining offerings. Delivery currently represents only a small portion of the business, as the owner has intentionally focused on the dine-in experience.
The owner is retiring after decades in the restaurant industry and is seeking a financially qualified buyer to continue or build upon the operation. This opportunity may be particularly attractive to an experienced restaurant operator, sushi chef, restaurant group, or entrepreneur seeking an established West Los Angeles location with significant infrastructure already in place.
