Permit-Ready Listings
We prioritize restaurants for lease in Koreatown that feature active Health Department permits and existing Certificate of Occupancy status to speed up your opening.
Restaurants For Lease
Restaurant leases in Koreatown are available on Wilshire Boulevard, Olympic Boulevard, 6th Street, and throughout the neighborhood's dense commercial corridors. The market offers a range of space types from ground-floor retail to second-floor dining rooms and basement karaoke concepts.
Second-generation restaurant spaces are the most cost-efficient leasing option for operators entering Koreatown. A second-gen space comes with existing food service infrastructure already in place including hood systems, grease traps, commercial plumbing, walk-in coolers, and often current health permits. This can save operators $100,000 to $400,000 in build-out costs compared to converting a raw commercial space, and compress the timeline from lease signing to opening from twelve months or more to as few as four to eight weeks. TableLot is the only marketplace where operators can search for second-generation restaurant spaces in Koreatown using restaurant-specific filters. Search by hood systems, grease traps, walk-in coolers, patio availability, and existing permits to identify the right space without extensive back-and-forth inquiries.

Searching for Restaurants for Lease in Koreatown? Discover Opportunities
Restaurant operators leasing in Koreatown should confirm that any planned late-night operations are covered by the space's existing Conditional Use Permit or factor CUP application time into the pre-opening timeline. Negotiate NNN caps and confirm ventilation infrastructure for Korean BBQ or heavy cooking concepts.
Base rent for restaurant spaces in Koreatown ranges from approximately $28 to $52 per square foot annually. Most restaurant leases in Koreatown and throughout Los Angeles County are structured as Triple Net agreements. Under a Triple Net lease tenants pay base rent plus their proportionate share of property taxes, building insurance, and common area maintenance fees. Always negotiate annual NNN charge caps of three to five percent and a tenant improvement allowance before signing a restaurant lease in Koreatown. For a 2,000 square foot restaurant space in Koreatown at the midpoint of $40 per square foot annually, base rent would be approximately $80,000 per year or $6,667 per month. To maintain a healthy occupancy cost ratio of eight to ten percent of gross revenue, an operator would need to generate annual revenue of approximately $800,000 to $960,000 to support this base rent level.
