Asian Fusion Eatery To Replace Perkins In Warminster

WARMINSTER, PA —An Asian Fusion eatery will fill the space occupied for 40 years by the Perkins restaurant on York Road, township officials said.

Mike Walsh, the township's planning director for the licenses and inspections department, told Patch that Jin Heng Yuan Properties LLC submitted a preliminary plan application for expanding the Perkins property at 705 York Rd.

The applicant proposes renovating and expanding the existing restaurantand adding 1,716 square feet to the building for additional seating on the 1.8-acre parcel that is zoned for commercial usage.

The proposed restaurant is “Asian Fusion,” which will include food such as sushi, hibachi, Korean barbeques, and Chinese fare, Walsh said.

Walsh said the plan was presented to the Warminster Township Planning Commission on Dec. 10, where Jin Heng Yuan Properties LLC discussed the plan, including buffering along the property boundaries, parking, and traffic flow on the site.

The planning commission recommended preliminary/final conditional approval of the plan.

The applicant was asked to update and resubmit their plan based on the feedback they received at PC before presenting the plan to the Warminster Township Board of Supervisors.

Township officials are currently awaiting the plan's resubmission, Walsh said.

Once the township's engineer has completed a review of the submission and if the applicant has met all the conditions of the conditional approval recommendation, the township will place the application on an upcoming Board of Supervisors meeting for consideration of Preliminary/Final Plan approval.

Walsh said the applicant and the township would then need to finalize development and financial security agreements, record the plans, and hold a pre-construction meeting with stakeholders, such as Warminster Municipal Authority, Bucks County Conservation District, etc.

At this point, the applicant would be permitted to submit applications for zoning and building permits to the Township’s Licenses & Inspections Department and begin construction.

"The township does not have a definitive timeline for this entire process as there are several moving parts, some of which are out of the Township’s control," Walsh said. "However, it would be safe to anticipate this project being presented to the Board of Supervisors in the first or second quarter of 2025."

Perkins closed abruptly one day in October 2023 after breakfast was served. The longtime restaurant served the Warminster area for 40 years. In December 2023, the property was sold after going on the market.
