China Chef In Secaucus To Become Pancake House

SECAUCUS, NJ — New owners just purchased the building that used to house China Chef in Secaucus.

The owners plan to reopen it as a restaurant and it will be a pancake house, revealed Mayor Mike Gonnelli. He said they officially took ownership last Friday, May 30.

The new owners purchased the building and own it outright; they will not be leasing it to run the restaurant. Gonnelli said he did not know if they also purchased the liquor license, which was also for sale.

A Muslim religious group looked into turning the former Chinese restaurant into a mosque, but those plans fell through, for unknown reasons.

"Boasting approximately 6,000 sq. ft of space, there is ample space for patrons to enjoy delicious meals in a vibrant atmosphere," read the listing from Claudia Roesing of Signature Realty, who was the listing agent. "Ample parking lot provides the convenience of abundant parking space (40+ parking spots) for both patrons and staff. This restaurant is perfectly situated in the heart of downtown Secaucus to cater to both locals and visitors and enjoys high visibility and foot traffic. Secaucus’ welcoming community atmosphere, coupled with the convenience of nearby attractions and 6-mile proximity to New York City makes this restaurant a prime destination for locals and tourists alike. Also nearby are Newark airport, MetLife Stadium and the American Dream Mall. Located in Secaucus’ neighborhood commercial zone, this incredible location offers a canvas of possibilities for building usage. This restaurant presents an excellent opportunity for an experienced restaurateur or a chef looking to make his/her name in the restaurant business.Please contact me for additional details/ offering memorandum at Claudia@SignatureRealtyNJ.com."
