Exceptional opportunity to acquire Tanoshii Andersonville, a long-established, full-service Japanese & sushi restaurant prominently located in the heart of Chicago's highly desirable Andersonville neighborhood.

Tanoshii has operated at this location since 2004, giving a new owner the benefit of more than 2 decades of operating history, neighborhood recognition & an established customer base.

Your chance to acquire an established restaurant operation w/a recognizable name, established menu, online ordering infrastructure, catering business & loyal customers. Perfectly situated on highly-visible Clark St in Andersonville’s Business District, 1 of Chicago's premier neighborhood dining & shopping districts.

Established Concept & Diverse Menu -
Tanoshii has developed its identity around creative, chef-driven Japanese cuisine, combining traditional sushi & sashimi w/inventive signature rolls & an approachable omakase/chef's-choice experience.

The current menu offers an extensive selection of sushi, sashimi, nigiri, maki, specialty rolls, appetizers, tempura, udon, kitchen entrées & hibachi. Along w/an extensive collection of specialty creations. The restaurant's omakase concept allows guests to communicate dietary restrictions & preferred spice level & then leave the selections to the chef.

That broad menu provides several revenue channels & allows Tanoshii to appeal to serious sushi diners as well as customers seeking cooked Japanese dishes, vegetarian selections in addition to hibachi for lunch, takeout & delivery.

Plus, the restaurant already has direct online ordering through Toast, along with 3rd-party delivery, providing an incoming owner w/established off-premise sales channels.

Strong Reputation & Established Customer Following -
Tanoshii has a substantial history in Chicago's restaurant market. OpenTable currently identifies the restaurant as a neighborhood gem w/a 4.9 rating.

The restaurant has also received recognition from Chicago dining media. The Infatuation has described the Andersonville restaurant as a casual neighborhood destination offering quality sushi in a relaxed environment.

That longevity & recognition would be difficult & expensive for a new restaurant concept to replicate.
