The local restaurant industry of New York is known for its tight competition, creating huge challenges for new restaurant owners. Establishing a name for yourself is not an easy task – it is a known fact that about 60% of new restaurants in New York do not make it past their first couple years. But Lime House Sushi and Ramen, through its proven franchising model, is confident that new restaurateurs can thrive in the New York food industry. Combining authentic Japanese cuisine with a carefully designed business model, Lime House equips franchisees to succeed in one of the world’s toughest markets.
Behind this thriving business is Thanda Win, fueled by her personal journey from Burma to the United States. Inspired by her grandparents’ entrepreneurial spirit, Thanda built Lime House into a brand that stands out – not just for its delectable food, but also for its succeessful business model. “The obstacles were immense, but so were the opportunities,” Thanda said.
Lime House Sushi and Ramen has paved a way for aspiring restaurant owners to bag profits in New York’s competitive restaurant market. Thanda’s winning strategy combines staff training, marketing strategy, and comprehensive guidance and support for restaurant operations.
“Restaurant owners in New York face many obstacles,” Thanda explained. “But at Lime House, we equip our franchisees with a business model that propels them to soar above those obstacles and succeed.”
Lime House franchisees are also encouraged to partner with their local community. Through hosting special events, new franchise owners can build connections and a loyal customer base from the very beginning. “When I came to the US, it was the kindness of others that helped me find my footing,” Thanda recalled. “I want our franchisees to experience that same sense of support as they grow their businesses.”
As Lime House continues expanding across New York, Thanda reflects on her journey with gratitude. “If I could tell that little girl in Burma anything, it would be this: Hard times will come, but keep your eyes on your dream. Soon enough, you will thank yourself for going through the difficult journey.”
Lime House is currently seeking potential restaurant owners who share Thanda’s passion for building a profitable business along with authentic Japanese cuisine. For more information on opening a Lime House franchise, visit LimeHouseFranchise.com.

Lime House offers made-to-order as well as grab-and-go sushi for customers looking for a fast meal.
