History
TANSH Global Food Group was founded in 1987 by Wang Huimin in Shanghai as Xiao Nan Guo Restaurant Holdings Limited. The company built its reputation on Shanghai-style cuisine served in a mid-to-high-end restaurant setting, expanding into a chain of restaurants across China. Over time it developed multiple owned brands, including Shanghai Xiao Nan Guo, Nan Xiaoguan, and Hui Gong Guan, and later added Pokka HK. The group became publicly listed in Hong Kong, giving it access to capital markets to fund expansion. In a strategic rebranding, the company changed its name from Xiao Nan Guo Restaurant Holdings Limited to TANSH Global Food Group, reflecting a broader multi-brand and internationalization strategy. It also moved into managing and licensing third-party brands, including Chez Shibata and Michelin casual dining concepts, and signed agreements to bring foreign brands such as Boat House and Oreno into the Chinese market. As of February 10, 2026, the group operated 20 restaurants under four owned brands: 4 Hui Gong Guan, 15 Nan Xiaoguan, and 1 Xiao Xiao Nan Guo, alongside its managed brands.
