My go-to for affordable and authentic Chinese food in the city. Serving is plenty and flavors are delish for the price, you'll definitely leave with a sated stomach. I frequent the place after transacting business around the downtown area and their noontimes are always jampacked. The soup dumplings never disappoint, their well-known bestseller that is. Their siomai is an overload, no one-bite can contest that—just be sure to reserve a spot as it can be gone in a blink just after it is served during noontimes. The beef noodle soup is a comfort after an exhausted day, always freshly prepared. …

If you are in downtown Iloilo City, you shouldn't miss this resto! You must try the siomai, fresh lumpia, and buchi! I recommend going here, but not during peak hours, since the restaurant has no AC. It is better to commute because there are many parking areas available.

Very rustic and local chinese eatery in Calle Real. Food is delicious and cheap; the siomai is huge! 1 siomai is enough. Do note that the resto does not have an ac and it gets hot and humid. I only have one complaint which is their tiny cups for self serve water, I hope they change it to regular sized cups.

It is an affordable carenderia/restaurant food haus. We had our late lunch 2pm and it has still a lot of menus. We ordered combo meals for only 80 pesos- 2 kinds of viands(ulam) and 1 rice. I was just not happy with my choice of viands, it was salty- the tokwa and the cocumber na ginisa. But mylabs choice was delicious- fish fillet and chopseuy. Coke in a bottle 20pesos. I loved the chinese dumplings 12pcs for 140 pesos. 2 orders of these. I wasnt able to try the siomai 20 pesos each. But for sure its so tasty too. Total bill 460 pesos. Next time i will try their desserts.

No AC. No parking. But food was OK and reasonably priced. The camaron was good. Fresh lumpia was also OK. Siomai and dumplings were fair enough. Pork with taosi was salty. Kiampong rice was OK. They do not properly do SC/PWD discount.
