Established Japanese hibachi steakhouse and sushi bar in the Charleston, South Carolina metro, offered together with the freestanding building and land it occupies. More than a decade of continuous operation at the same address, with financial statements that reconcile directly to Toast POS exports — clean, verifiable records a lender can underwrite.
The asking price is supported by the real estate alone. Both the income and sales-comparison approaches pencil at or above ask for the building, which means a buyer effectively acquires an earning operating business, its specialized teppan build-out and FF&E, and a trained hibachi team for the value of the bricks. Ownership has invested approximately $250,000 in the building and the operation since 2025, including new HVAC and roof work completed in 2026 — the major building systems are done.
The location sits on a hard retail corridor carrying up to 94,200 vehicles per day, near a regional mall, an outlet center, a medical campus and a technical college, with an interstate interchange minutes away. Retail vacancy in the Charleston market is 1.93% with effectively no speculative construction underway, and a $625 million rapid transit line is in final design along this corridor.
Real upside remains for an operator. Weekday hours are dinner-only, leaving a full lunch untapped. Sushi runs well below category norms as a share of sales. Catering, private hibachi events and third-party delivery are all underdeveloped, and dine-in currently accounts for roughly 93% of covers.
SBA 7(a)/504-eligible structure — real estate plus going concern in a single transaction, with lender-ready underwriting materials and pre-underwriting already in progress with a regional lender. The complete financial package is released on execution of a Non-Disclosure Agreement.
