Time-Honored BrandXita · Liaoning · Founded
Xita is a renowned dining brand from Liaoning Province, celebrated for its authentic Korean-Chinese cuisine. With a rich history rooted in Shenyang, it preserves traditional culinary techniques and embodies the vibrant fusion of ethnic cultures.
Brand Story
The Xita brand originates from Shenyang, Liaoning Province, with a history tracing back to the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912). As the former capital of the Qing, Shenyang was a melting pot of diverse ethnicities, where Korean culinary culture took root. The name 'Xita' derives from the iconic Xita Street, which evolved into a Korean enclave in the late 19th century during the Guangxu reign, bustling with merchants and vibrant food culture. The founder, influenced by family traditions, mastered Korean cooking techniques and opened the first eatery on Xita Street in the early 20th century during the Republic era, renowned for authentic Korean cold noodles and rice cakes. Through generations, Xita has upheld traditional handmade methods while incorporating modern tastes, becoming a representative of Korean cuisine in Liaoning. Its development mirrors the history of Korean immigrants in Northeast China and serves as a vivid example of China's multicultural culinary integration.
