They were open on New Year's Day and although the restaurant was packed we were able to be seated immediately without any reservations. Our cousins did all the ordering. The food was delicious and the portions were generous: Hot & Sour Soup DIMSUM: Chicken Feet Pork Spare Ribs Siopao Har Gow Xiao Long Bao ENTRÉES: Lomi soup w/ noodles Nori Shrimp Spinach Soup Ku Chay Vegetarian Hot Pot Bokchoy w/ mushroom House Fried Rice I enjoyed the dim sum but I did not try the chicken feet. Actually, I got full just from the dim sum but I managed to try some of the other entrees. Great service. Multiple servers would come to empty our table of used plates. Our party of 8 was pleased with our experience. Review #3292

I love the fresh, handmade noodles, and I love watching how they are made - yes, you can watch them being made! It's quite a feat, the staff quickly and efficiently kneading the dough and stretching it as far as it can go before cutting it into the noodles I love in the final dish. Since I'm a vegetarian, I always order the plain noodles. But no, it is not plain at all as there is unlimited spring onions and wansoy, in addition to the Chinese pechay in the dish. And of course, they have the complete popular condiments, too. I love putting the chili oil in my noodles. The interiors are simple but clean, but you won't really care much as the noodles are really good.

Food on Four in SM Aura is among the best food courts in Metro Manila. They have a very nice…read morecombination of merchants that offer different types of cuisines at affordable rates. One of my top picks for this place is Four Seasons Chinese Restaurant. They have really good food in serving sizes that are good enough to share. Most notable dishes include Lechong Macau and Crispy Noodles. The lechong Macau has the right amount of lean meat and fat has a small portion of crisp skin per cut. The meat is tender and flavorful. They serve it with fried rice topped with a fried egg. The crispy noodles, on the other hand, is the best I've tasted among the many Chinese restaurants I've tried this year. The noodles are super crispy and they use the really thin ones that are fun to eat. They top this with super tender beef brisket which has a distinctly Chinese taste. I just can't get enough of it. I also love that they serve the food in real dishes instead of the plastic ones more commonly seen in food courts.

The short orders are equally large and sometimes surprises me, and despite the portions i get surprised as to how i manage to finish my meals here. Be sure to try all their rice toppings, personal favourite is the spare ribs rice topping.

Overall: Excellent, always a go to place when hungry.

The maki mi came piping hot with those tender pork strips swimming in thick, savory gravy--perfectly balanced, not too salty, just deeply satisfying. Paired it with their chunky homemade kikiam and a bowl of miki bihon loaded with fresh fish balls that actually taste like real fish, not the processed kind. The place is still the same old-school, no-frills spot upstairs with the AC blasting, tables squeezed together, and that familiar hum of families chatting over bowls. Nothing fancy, but everything hits exactly right. Been coming here since I was a kid and it's still one of the few places that never disappoints. Absolute gem for real, no-nonsense Chinese Pinoy food. 5 stars all the way.

Part of this is that I needed fuel for our busy travel days, but the rest is that the buffet was genuinely excellent. High Street Cafe is a massive restaurant on the lobby level of the Shangri-La. It's the kind of buffet you only see in Vegas or big Asian luxury hotels, an attractive, opulent space with tons of seating and a dozen different stations serving a tantalizing variety of food. Service is quick and attentive. You check in at the front desk and get escorted to a table, where you can order beverages and send any hot made-to-order dishes. The offerings are wide-ranging enough for all guests to get the genre of breakfast they desire. There is, of course, everything you might expect at a normal hotel breakfast buffet--pastries and cereal, cheese and cold cuts, bacon and sausage, eggs from an omelet station. I don't really go for much of that, at home or abroad, which is why I so often sleep through hotel breakfast. I do get out of bed for Asian food, and High Street has plenty in that department. My favorite part of the buffet is the noodle station, where you can get your own mini noodle soup assembled while you watch, from a selection of rice or egg noodles, chicken, vegetable, or spicy Taiwanese broth, and a small variety of proteins and vegetables. I tried several different permutations and liked them all, though I preferred the egg noodles to the rice noodles and the soothing chicken broth to the beef broth, which was a little too salty. I added chicken and beef and, better yet, fishcake and springy fish balls, plus bok choy and mushroom, chili oil and calamansi, and other unidentified condiments to boost the broth. There's a congee station, too, and a daily selection of dim sum and fried rice and stir-fried noodles. I did okay with the dim sum, some middling shumai and bao, and the rice and noodles were nice when I felt like a few bites of basic Chinese take-out. I liked the dosa station, where I got really really nice thin, golden dosa filled with spiced potato and accompanied by a couple of savory sauces. The Filipino section is a highlight, welcoming diners to "rice and shine Pinoy style," with a rotating variety of Filipino breakfast dishes, great with the fluffy sinangag, or garlic fried rice. As far as I can tell, Manila isn't a city where you come in as a tourist and find a bounty of small local restaurants serving the national cuisine, and I was glad to get a sampling of it here, at the breakfast buffet of my corporate-owned luxury hotel. Over the course of five breakfasts, I tried picadillo, chicken tocino, bistek tagalog, smoked bangus, corned beef, tuyo, and pork adobo, and helped myself to the kamayan corner, with its array of dried fish and pickles and vinegary condiments. There's a grab-and-go dessert buffet as well as a juice area, where I got a couple shot glasses of random juices and once, a weird chia seed thing that looked better than it tasted. For the most part, I finished my breakfast with sliced fruit from the fruit bar. Cantaloupe and watermelon, pineapple and papaya, orange and white guava, all of it pretty fresh and sweet. I doubt I ever ate enough to get my money's worth if I were paying separately for breakfast, but I enjoyed my daily noodle soup and rice and shine, as well as grazing across the other stations. High Street Cafe is an outstanding hotel buffet, a definite credit to the Shangri-La.

I think whenever my family goes there, I am always unavailable. While scouting for a place to eat in Banawe, I tried searching for a QC resto and found this Mandarin Sky Wok in Paligsahan. It is located together with Artsy Cafe (continental food) and Komedor (Filipino food). It has the same owner as this restaurant and the one along Banawe. The interiors of Mandarin Sky Wok is very Chinese, like the fine dining ones in China. It is very cozy and filled with customers. Service is good. Food was quite disappointing considering all the raves I heard about the Banawe branch. We started off with dimsum because we were famished: pork siomai, fish head, and beancurd roll. Fish head was okay since not many restaurants serve those as dimsum. The pork siomai was bad, it has more flour than meat. The beancurd roll was truly disappointing. It's like the meat of the siomai then wrapped in bean curd skin. For the main course, we ordered: Polonchay with Two Eggs, Singaporean Bihon Guisado, and Dong Po Pork. The polonchay with eggs were okay, nothing special. The eggs visible are duck eggs and century eggs, plus a slurry of chicken egg whites. I was disappointed that the yolk of the duck egg was invisible, probably used to complete their salted egg prawns dish. The bihon was flavored in curry. It was good but we just got surprised that it has curry in it. The Dong Po Pork comes with steamed buns. It took a really long time for them to serve this, and it turned out just normal. There were about 8-10 pre-cut slices of the pork but only 6 pcs of the bun. The meat was tender and the sauce was strange. Not a usual sauce in Chinese cuisine, but I'm guessing the sauce is made from ketchup, sugar, soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, and vinegar - almost the same ingredients as a sweet and sour sauce. The pineapple on top of the dish was a misplacement as well. Most customers there ordered shabu-shabu so maybe it's their forte? Would love to try the two restaurants beside it though. And oh, you can also order from the other two as well since they only belong to one owner.
