SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 29 December 2025 - XIAO NOODLES, a leading publicly listed Chinese quick-service restaurant (QSR) chain on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX: 02408), has achieved a notable corporate milestone with the grand opening of its 500th global location. The landmark store, situated at 313@Somerset on Singapore's iconic Orchard Road, also serves as the brand's inaugural overseas outpost and debut venue in the Southeast Asian market. Building on this launch, XIAO NOODLES is actively preparing additional locations in Singapore, including at Tampines Mall, with more stores expected to open to consumers soon. This strategic foray comes on the heels of the chain's successful Hong Kong IPO, underscoring its ambition to export a standardized Chinese casual dining paradigm to the international food-service landscape.

Founded in 2014, XIAO NOODLES has long anchored its brand philosophy in the maxim "Small things make a big difference", with a core mission to deliver authentic Chongqing-style noodle cuisine to global consumers. The brand marked a pivotal chapter in its growth by successfully listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX: 02408). Specializing in regional noodle staples and complementary appetizers, the chain has curated a portfolio of signature offerings that have cemented its status as a beloved player in China's competitive dining sector. Flagship menu items include Red Bowl Noodle (Mala Noodles with Peas and Meat Sauce), Golden Bowl Noodle (Hot n' Sour Noodles), Wonton Series, and Maocai Hot Pot Series.
The opening of XIAO NOODLES in Singapore at 313@Somerset marks the global debut of its systemized Chinese casual dining model. More than a new location, this launch introduces a highly standardized and digital operational framework, engineered for consistent quality and scalability. Choosing Singapore—a competitive food hub and gateway to Southeast Asia—signals a strategy to enter discerning markets with a proven concept. The brand smartly positions Chongqing noodles within two major culinary trends: the global popularity of noodle dishes and a growing preference for spice. By refining this regional specialty with precise flavors and a modern cultural narrative, XIAO NOODLES transforms it into an internationally relevant offering, following the global pathways of pasta and ramen. The store itself delivers a contemporary dining experience, blending traditional recipes with localized touches and seamless digital service, all underpinned by the brand's commitment to taste, efficiency, and value.
