20+ year established and profitable Chinese buffet restaurant now available in El Paso, Texas. China Express represents a rare opportunity to acquire a stable, cash-flowing business with significant upside potential in a prime retail location.
The business produces over $1.2M in annual revenue with strong operating margins, supported by documented financials and a loyal, repeat customer base. The restaurant operates out of an approximately 4,000 square foot space that is fully built out with a commercial kitchen, buffet line, dining area, and all necessary FF&E included in the sale (no liens). A stocked walk-in refrigerator and freezer are also included.
This is a turnkey operation with trained staff in place and a 21-day training period offered by the seller. The opportunity is being offered as an asset sale with a lease transfer, providing a cost-effective path to ownership without the time and expense of a new build-out.
While the business is already successful, there is meaningful opportunity for growth through operational improvements, rebranding, expanded hours, marketing strategies, or the addition of a liquor license to enhance revenue.
Ideal for an experienced operator or investor seeking a proven restaurant with both stability and value-add potential in a strong El Paso market.

- Market Outlook / Competition
- China Express operates in the El Paso, Texas market, a metro area with over 680,000 residents and a strong, diverse dining culture. The region supports a large number of restaurants across multiple cuisines, including a well-established presence of Asian and Chinese concepts.
While competition exists, buffet-style dining represents a more limited segment, providing differentiation from typical quick-service and fast-casual options. China Express benefits from 20+ years of continuous operation, a loyal repeat customer base, and strong brand recognition within the community.
Located in a high-traffic, grocery-anchored shopping center, the business enjoys consistent visibility and customer flow. The El Paso market continues to favor value-oriented, high-volume dining concepts, positioning China Express well for continued success. - Opportunities for Growth
- China Express presents multiple opportunities for revenue growth and operational improvement. While the business is already profitable, a new owner can increase sales through expanded marketing efforts, including social media, online ordering, and third-party delivery platforms. Extending hours of operation and introducing lunch specials or promotional events can further drive traffic.
There is strong upside in adding a liquor license, which could significantly increase average ticket size and margins. Menu enhancements, updated branding, and minor interior improvements could also attract new customers while retaining the existing loyal base.
Additionally, catering services, private events, and partnerships with local businesses offer untapped revenue streams. With an established foundation and strong location, China Express is well-positioned for continued growth under new ownership.
