The Price Is Bold. Here Is Why It Makes Sense.

$1.2 million for a restaurant holding its ground in Silicon Valley for over 40 years — built-out kitchen, loyal customer base, private dining rooms, and 29 staff in place. The right question isn't whether the price is high. It's how fast a well-run operator makes this perform.

The current financials reflect how this business has been run — not how it has to be. An experienced operator who takes an active role, controls labor, and cuts unnecessary overhead will see a very different bottom line. The revenue base, kitchen, and customers are already there.

The seller's restaurant is just one of their ventures. After four decades, the owner is ready to retire and pass the torch.

A Concept You Cannot Replicate Overnight

Since the 1980s, this kitchen has specialized in traditional Halal Chinese cuisine rooted in Northwest China—rare outside China and nearly absent from Silicon Valley at full-service scale. Every dish is handmade from natural ingredients, with no additives, refined over decades of customer feedback.

A new owner does not build this. They inherit it.

Lease

Current lease runs through March 31, 2027. Milpitas Square property management has confirmed they are prepared to offer a new lease to qualified incoming tenants — continuity at this location is not a concern for the right buyer.

The Location

Located within one of Silicon Valley's most established retail destinations — Milpitas Square draws consistent, high-volume foot traffic from across the South Bay, seven days a week. Positioned at the southwest corner of I-880 and Highway 237, the center sits at the crossroads of Silicon Valley's most active commercial corridor. The city's daytime population exceeds 100,000 people, fueled by the headquarters and campuses of Cisco Systems, KLA, Western Digital, and dozens of leading semiconductor and tech firms minutes away. These are the professionals, engineers, and families who fill dining rooms — and they are here every day.

Market Position

Halal Chinese seafood with Northwest China roots — virtually no direct full-service competition across the South Bay. The Halal-observant dining community is large, loyal, and growing. This market position is extraordinarily difficult to replicate.
