btw, 30 to 40 sqm, isn't it a bit too small for a chinese resto? what kind of concept you'll be having? xpress or dine in?

if you want to intruduce ur chinese food restaurant over here... then you may need a larger space... and probably if u open a restaurant... the rent would be the same as phoenix guessing...

Guys, he keeps saying store, Chinese STORE, not restaurant.

Well, AnnyZhang, I hope to see your store in Doha. I just got home from my grocery shopping at a Chinese store here and did a search on this forum to see if there are any Chinese grocery stores there and yours is the only post I found. Doesn't look like people have had much introduction to Chinese grocery there.

Let's hope you keep it stocked with all kinds of herbal teas and frozen dim sum and ginseng and ginger products.

Good Luck.
