Chinese Palace Group

CPG's story began in 1980 with the inauguration of the first Chinese restaurant in Dubai, Chinese Palace Restaurant. Founded as a family business, CPG transitioned to the leadership of Simon Han in 2010, who subsequently led the group through a remarkable expansion. From a single Chinese restaurant, CPG has diversified its portfolio to encompass seven distinctive brands and close to 50 stores. Among these brands, four quick-service concepts, including Chinese Palace, Panda Chinese, Umami (Japanese), and Koryo (Korean BBQ), serve customers in the prime malls of Dubai. After establishing an excellent reputation in the food industry, Chinese Palace Restaurant pioneered its first fast-food unit in Burjuman Centre’s Bustan Food Court, the first food court established in the region. The fast-food version of the restaurant was met with tremendous success and positive feedback. To meet high customer demand, more fast-food restaurants opened throughout the region, and the Chinese Palace Restaurant Group was formed to include Panda Chinese Restaurant, Umami Japanese Kitchen, Koryo Korean BBQ Restaurant, Din Tai Fung AE, Han Shi Fu, Bado Chinese, Bon Chickin and Tiger Sugar.
