“ Service and food is good ”
“ Not your usual Chinese cuisine restaurant but the original location was in San Pedro street. I believe this was established sometime in the 70's (correct me if I am wrong). I grew up with this brand as the primary venue for most if eating good Chinese food is your choice . Up to now, they still cook great tasting Chinese food fit for Filipino palate. Their pancit canton is still awesome! ”
“ Great tasting food! Waiting is a little bit long but it's worth it. Crew needs a "smiling training". ”
“ We ate our dinner here tonight. Although it took sometime to get our seat coz there are so many customers. As my cousin said, this is very famous Chinese restaurant in the city. The first of this branch is somewhere in Uyanguren. The food was great. We ordered the following: lomi, sweet and sour pork, lumpiang Shanghai and their famous rice. We were five and there are still leftovers and we only paid around Php800- (that's because of the senior citizen and pwd discount.) Also, they have famous weekend combos where you can choose from classic, de luxe and supreme but you can only order this from Friday to Sunday. And it will cost you from php800-1200 where the meal is complete. ”
“ Expensive for what you get. Got my order wrong 3 times in a row. Would be good if they repeated your order back so we are sure we both understand each other.... Like 99% of restaurants do ”
“ We've been trying to eat at this resto for so long as I noticed there are a lot of people eating in 2 branches. We were always unlucky to get parking until last Father's day. Re food. Tasted fine but the fish was on the not tender side. It was unexpected. The two dishes with fish have same quality. Not ordering that anymore. Other foods like fried rice and siopao were great. Service was excellent ”
“ The food is good, but can be more tasteful, depending on the dishes, the buttered chicken for example, are delicious. They have good amount of serving, best for sharing. Polite staff and clean place. Would have been better though if they make more appetizers available. ”
