Country Style Cooking is one of China’s largest directly operated Chinese quick-service restaurant groups, serving freshly prepared Chinese meals at accessible prices. Founded in Chongqing in 1996, the company operates two principal restaurant brands, Country Style Cooking and Rice Space, with more than 2,000 directly operated restaurants across China as of November 2025.

The Country Style Cooking brand specializes in freshly cooked Sichuan cuisine, adapting traditional dishes and cooking techniques to the speed and convenience of quick-service dining. Rice Space, launched in 2011, offers a broader selection of regional Chinese dishes, including Hunan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Guangdong flavors, with formats such as smaller portions and food sold by weight that give customers greater choice. Across both brands, the group emphasizes on-site cooking, quality ingredients, menu variety, and value-for-money everyday dining.
