About the Business

This well-established Japanese takeaway has been operating for almost nine years and is well-known in the Bayside Brisbane area for its consistent quality and friendly service. Situated in a residential neighbourhood and facing a busy main road, the shop benefits from strong visibility and a steady dinner trade.

The business originally opened as a dine-in restaurant, and the tables and chairs are still on-site, allowing the next owner to reintroduce dine-in service very easily. In 2025, the operation shifted to a takeaway-only model, resulting in a simple and efficient workflow with low running costs. Even after downsizing, the business continues to generate stable income thanks to its loyal local customers.

One of the biggest strengths of this shop is how easy it is to operate. The previous owners, a couple with no hospitality experience, successfully ran the restaurant while raising children, which shows how beginner-friendly the operation is. It is currently run by two owners with one part-time teen staff member assisting on a weekend, so labour requirements are minimal.

The kitchen is fully equipped with multiple commercial fridges and freezers, a commercial stove and gas system, a canopy, an electric deep fryer, a commercial dishwasher, and three sinks including a hand-wash sink. A bathroom is also available on the premises, making a liquor licence possible for the next owner.

There is considerable potential to increase revenue. Bringing back dine-in service, extending trading hours, opening on weekends, offering alcohol, introducing catering or party platters, and boosting social media or delivery promotions would all create immediate opportunities for growth. During the dine-in period, weekly revenue was significantly higher, with peak weeks exceeding ten thousand dollars, demonstrating the strength of the location when fully utilised.

The rent is very affordable for the area at $2,252.25 per month ($519.75 per week), giving the next owner a strong profit base. There are approximately twelve months remaining on the current lease, with an option to renew in November 2026.

This business is well-suited to first-time buyers, owner-operators, and anyone looking for a stable, low-risk hospitality business with plenty of room to grow. The owner is selling due to relocating overseas. The exact address will be provided to serious enquiries only.

History

The business was first established in November 2016 and has been operating for almost nine years.
It originally opened as a dine-in Japanese restaurant and later transitioned into a takeaway-focused model to match local demand.
Throughout the years, it has built a loyal customer base and maintains a strong reputation in the Bayside community.
