Came by for an early lunch on a Monday. Ground floor tables were full but there were more available at the 2nd floor (plus its a/c). The atmosphere is your usual short order resto. Ordered fried chicken, special fried rice, kikiam, and miki bihon pansit. The only thing that kind of stood out is the fried chicken. Its not that the other food didn't taste good. It more of tasted like a "common" good for a tsinoy resto. Might opt for other nearby options when in the area again. Delicious Restaurant, located at 580 F. Torres St. near Sta. Cruz Church in Manila, is a hidden gem for comforting Filipino-Chinese cuisine. A personal favorite is their Beef Chami—a flavorful, saucy pancit dish that’s always satisfying. Their menu offers classic set meals that combine generous portions and nostalgic flavors, making it a great spot for hearty, value-for-money dining. While the ambiance is simple and a bit old-school, the food more than makes up for it, keeping regulars like me coming back for that familiar, home-style taste. It's been a while since I was able to eat here again and it was nostalgic, the food was still delicious as I remembered it to be.

This one of our go-to place whenever we are in Quiapo or nearby. Very affordable and the serving sizes are generous. We always order pancit ang paired with siopao which is almost good for 3-4persons. Thankfully lwhen we last went here there were no lines and we’re seated upstairs.

I brought my family here in delicious restaurant at Binondo Manila for the first time.. We ordered their famous Pancit Chami, Kikiam, Special fried rice, Fried chicken , Camaron and Pork and Tofu with tausi. The Squid Camaron stood out for me.. 5/5 while the rest ,I would rate it 3/5 ., as this is not my first time to dine here.. I feel there is a slight change when it comes to the taste and texture of the famous Chami noodle. Its quite bland, unless u will season it with soy sauce and calamansi.. As for service wise, the staff are accomodating , they also served the food just in time.. Im only quite disappointed with the queue when we arrived, coz it it took us 20-30 mins before they call us in. Overall, good... I still recommend this place of you are craving for authentic chinese food.. ☆☆☆
