Where to eat in Binondo?


Binondo is Manila's Chinatown, established in the 1594 and the oldest Chinatown in the world. It is the center of commerce and trade of Manila (now and then), where all types of business run by Filipino-Chinese. My interest with the culture was strengthened because of having a Filipino-Chinese boyfriend. Also, I spent few months going to here back and forth when I quit my first job and decided to work on my business. 

One of the good things I like about these restaurants (aside from the authenticity of the food) is that they have the same price range which ranges from Php 60.00 to Php 300+. 

So, Let me share with you my favorite Restaurants in Binondo

Masuki Mami House
931 Benavidez St., Binondo, Manila
Contact No: (02) 244-0745 / (02) 243-2674 / (02) 244-0737 / (02) 502-2300


Masuki has limited selection of what the food that they are serving. It's noodles, Siomai and Siopao. 


Ying Ying Tea House
233-235 Dasmarinas St cor Yuchengo St
Binondo, Manila
Contact No: (02) 710-3856


No one notices when you enter and when you go out. You have to approach the staff to ask for the menu or what so ever for few times before you caught their attention. It's like you need to beg them to take your order or requesting for something. And when your food comes in, it is placed in a very dirty plate or bowl. I used to think maybe they are just busy today because it's Friday or Saturday or Sunday. But I don't think so. Been here during week days and not so critical hours but I haven't seen any difference at all. But - their food is really good.



Lan Zhou La Mien
1354 Benavidez St, Binondo, Manila

As you can see, im not a fan of noodles. I'd always go for Dumplings fried or steamed. Dimsum is love! They have tons of noodles and main dish variety however with dumplings this is the only that they have.



Tasty Dumplings
620 Ongpin Street, Binondo, Manila, Metro Manila
Contact No: (02) 450 4880

Again, as you can see im eating Kuchay dumplings again while my boyfriend is eating the big and famous Porkchop Rice.

Sincerity Cafe and Restaurant
497 Yuchengco St., Binondo Manila
Contact No: 241-9991, 241-9990


Ling Nam
Binondo 831 Juan Luna St.
Divisoria, Manila

What I like about Ling Nam is that they let you choose what type of noodles you can get under one variety. For example, For Wanton you have the option to choose from Mien or Hofan. Mien is the one top, thin and the usual. While the Hofan is the one at the bottom part. It can be compared to Fettucini however Hofan is still bigger when talking about width.



LGA Estero Fast Food
Brgy. 297 Binondo Manila

At first people would think "Ay estero, hindi masarap diyan!" Well in fact, they're the ones who serves one of the best and pricey (because of serving exotic and seafoods) in Binondo. Love that they serve meals that's good for 2-3 or 4-5 pax. Perfect for barkada and families! 

Must Try: Frog Legs :)


Wan Chai
918 Benavidez Street
Binondo Manila

Noodles Everyday
G/F Liberty Hall, 826 Benavidez St.,
Binondo, Manila

Wai Ying 
Benavidez St, Binondo Manila
Contact No: (02) 254 3326

And lastly.. my favorite! Wai Ying! Basically they have the same taste but what I like about Wai Ying is they have wide range of selections from Appetizers, Main Dish, Dessert and even drinks! Name any chinese cuisine you want to eat cause for sure they have it!
