Business Description
Established Family-Run Japanese Restaurant - Prime Oakland Location

This well-established sushi and Japanese restaurant represents a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey operation with over three decades of neighborhood presence.

Financial Details:
- Asking Price: $300,000 (inventory included)
- Monthly Lease: $6,600

The current owners are retiring after decades of successful operation, creating an opportunity for new ownership to build upon an established foundation while implementing growth strategies. The business benefits from limited direct competition offering similar longevity and sushi specialization in the immediate area.

Comprehensive training and support included to ensure smooth ownership transition, covering daily operations, vendor management, menu guidance, and staff workflow. Training duration and terms are flexible based on buyer experience level.

This represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a profitable, established restaurant operation in a desirable Oakland location with significant untapped potential for revenue growth and operational expansion.

Facilities & Assets
The sale includes a fully equipped dining area, sushi bar and commercial kitchen. Assets include one glass-front refrigerator in the dining room, two full-size kitchen refrigerators, and one compact sushi-bar refrigerator. Security features such as CCTV and an alarm system are installed and included. All existing fixtures, equipment and operating infrastructure are part of the transfer, providing a turnkey setup for the next owner.
Market Outlook / Competition
Located in a high-foot-traffic corridor near a popular theater, the restaurant benefits from steady dine-in customers and strong delivery demand through DoorDash and Uber Eats. Established in the neighborhood for more than three decades, it maintains a loyal local following. Nearby competition exists, but few offer the same longevity, reputation and consistent sushi-focused menu. The dinner-only schedule leaves room for growth through expanded hours, catering or enhanced online presence.
Opportunities for Growth
Significant upside remains untapped. The business currently operates only from 5 to 9 pm, creating a clear opportunity to add lunch service, weekend brunch or late-night hours. Expanding catering, improving online visibility and promoting delivery platforms can further increase revenue. A new owner may also update the menu, enhance interior aesthetics or introduce modern marketing strategies to capture additional market share and boost profitability.
