Fulin’s Asian Cuisine

Fulin’s Asian Cuisine is a family-owned restaurant group specializing in Chinese and pan-Asian dishes, with a footprint concentrated in Tennessee and northern Alabama. The company was founded in 2003 by Fulin Zhao and his family, who opened the first location in Hendersonville, Tennessee. Over the following years, Fulin’s built a strong regional presence, expanding to multiple sites across the greater Nashville area and into Alabama. By 2010, the brand had established itself as a reliable option for full-service Asian dining in suburban communities.

As of November 2025, Fulin’s operates eight locations, maintaining a steady store count since 2019. The company has not announced new market entries or franchising initiatives in recent years, choosing instead to focus on operational stability and performance at its existing sites. This approach has allowed Fulin’s to refine its service model, which includes dine-in, takeout, and catering, and adapt to changing consumer habits by improving online ordering and delivery options.

Fulin’s preference for end-cap and inline spaces in busy retail centers, along with its consistent operational history, makes it a dependable tenant in suburban retail corridors. The brand’s conservative growth posture and commitment to quality have helped it remain a credible choice for landlords and brokers seeking established, full-service restaurant operators with a proven track record.
