Earlier this year, Song Xuan, a communication executive of Xibei Catering Group, a renowned restaurant chain in China, was in Los Angeles on a business trip and craved an authentic Chinese meal after a tiring day.

At a restaurant, he ordered an eggplant dish with minced meat. To his surprise, it tasted extremely delicious, just like what his mother would prepare at their Beijing home.

When he looked around, however, he found only a few Chinese tourists dining at the restaurant.

Song said it is the kind of situation Xibei Catering would want to avoid as it expands overseas.

"We are not opening restaurants abroad solely for consumers with Chinese background," he said. "Our plan is not to simply copy what we do in China, but to cater to the larger population."

Xibei's overseas expansion strategy currently has focus on the US market. "We are starting in the most challenging and the largest catering market in the world where there is high per capita expenditure on dining out," Song said.

Jia Guolong, Xibei's CEO, said he had visited Europe and the Americas last year to evaluate market potential there.

"The United States is the world's largest economy, and its consumption power is much stronger than China's. Most people eat out and consume frequently. It presents a strong opportunity for quality Chinese food," Jia said in a letter to the firm's employees.

Xibei quickly established a food lab in the US to innovate Chinese cuisines so as to adapt cooking methods and tastes to the local markets.

The restaurant chain is now working with local partners in the US to refine its products like Shao Mai (steamed dumplings) and Mian Jin (wheat gluten). It is undergoing extensive testing as the firm seeks to find the right flavors.

It also plans to hire local management and marketing professionals to better understand the US catering culture.

Xibei is not alone in this kind of endeavors. In recent years, Chinese catering brands have gradually expanded overseas to fuel their growth.

According to international consulting firm Frost & Sullivan, by 2026, the size of the overseas Chinese catering market is expected to reach $409.8 billion, with a compound annual growth rate of 9.4 percent.

In its financial report for the first half of 2023, Haidilao, a Chinese hotpot restaurant giant, disclosed it has 115 outlets abroad. Seventy of them are located in Southeast Asia, 17 in East Asia, 18 in North America and 10 in other regions. Small hotpot chain Xiapuxiapu opened its first store in Singapore in 2023.

On-premise beverage and ice-cream giant Mixue Bingcheng, the world's fifth-largest fast food restaurant chain, has over 36,000 stores worldwide, including more than 6,000 stores outside China.
