📰About TOWN EAST ASIAN BUFFET

Town East Asian Buffet is undergoing a renovation at 1104 Town East Mall in Mesquite, Texas. The project involves remodeling a closed restaurant into a new buffet-style establishment within the Town East Mall facility. The total estimated cost for this work is $500,000, covering a space of 10,032 square feet. This places the project’s cost per square foot at $50, a figure below the Dallas County median of $72 for similar renovation filings.

Project Scope and Design

The scope of work, as filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), is specifically to remodel a closed restaurant to be a new buffet restaurant. The design firm of record is Concord Design, which has handled six other TDLR-registered projects in the region. The owner of record is Town East Mall, LLC.

The scheduled construction window for this project is 304 days, which is longer than the Dallas County median of 92 days for renovation and alteration projects. The estimated cost of $500,000 is above the county median of $247,787 for this type of work. The facility is situated in the 75150 ZIP code, where the U.S. Census estimates a population of about 63,023 and a median household income of $65,985.

Status and Registration Details

The project was registered with TDLR in June 2024, and plan review was completed in the same month. Construction was scheduled to begin in October 2024, with a completion date listed on the filing as August 2025. Although that scheduled date has passed, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. Therefore, the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The registered accessibility specialist for this project is James Darrell Southerland. The Dallas County unemployment rate was 3.4 percent in June 2026, according to FRED data.

Third-party listings, such as a Yelp profile updated in August 2026, list the business at this address with operating hours. However, the TDLR record does not confirm operational status. The project is part of a broader trend of retail renovations in the area, with Concord Design involved in other projects like Burleson Crossing Shopping Center and The Shops at Memorial City. The specific focus here remains the conversion of the existing restaurant space into a new buffet concept for the Town East Mall location.
