    So after a few years, I decide to update my review in David’s Tea House in Binondo. We went to lunch on Chinese New Year and this place was just jampacked! We had to wait in line for our turn and we were number 29. And so my family and I ordered the usual - Polonchay seafood soup, yangchow, pata tim, salted spicy spareribs and squid calamares. You could actually spot the difference of the photo of polonchay soup in (old collaged photo) and the new photo of polonchay soup - see the texture and color? It tastes soooo different from before. You could no longer taste the authentic Chinese feels from this resto. Pati Tim was so bland. You could hardly chew the pork spareribs. The only thing I liked was the calamares. We ordered suahe and eggplant with minced pork but they never arrived because the kitchen missed to prepare it even if those were listed in our orders. We were so disappointed. We could have gone to a different resto. _______________________________ We normally visit this restaurant whenever we're in Binondo area. Food is really good!

    One of my favorite go-to restaurant. You gotta try their Lemon chicken and David's Hot chicken salad as well as their yang chow fried rice.. You can also get a complimentary tea. I super love this place.

    I give this rate because of so much disappointment with your system. At first, we understand that you’re still trying to create a system on buying wholesale dimsum products for a lot of buyers. But we learned that some of your employees abused their privileged. They bought a lot and sell it outside in a higher price. That’s why most of your customer has nothing to buy due to this scheme. Especially if they are in a last number. Only a few packs left for them or worst, only selected items has left. Then, you already put a number coding system based on QP in buying the products. It is good. But why only the first 10 have the privileged to buy a much of the product? And the rest is not? All your customers are following your system. Why not give them a fair treatment? Why not divide fairly the available stock to all since you put a limit of 50pax/day? For example 100packs/50pax. So that everybody can enjoy it. Why not apply this in your system as well. We woke up early just to follow your system. Some of your customers came from a far distance just to buy your product. Why not consider it? I hope you will act on this feedback. Thank you.

    I visited David's Tea House twice. My favorite is the half fried chicken. Dimsum is delicious! Affordable price in a sense that if you are going to eat in the high end chinese restaurant. Menus have wide range of choices. I also recommend their unli drink cucumber something i forgot the whole name. Very refreshing as well!

    Went there for a date with my mom and while I dined with their other branches I figured dining in one of the "oldest Chinatown in the world" would make it more authentic. Well, it kinda was. Never a fan of eating rice so I just went with the Dimsum sampler, their David Noodle set and Cold cuts. All of them taste great, just like what you would expect in any decently run Chinese resto. This particular branch has a hotpot menu if you fancy going for that. I didn't choose that route since I'm not feeling hotpot at that time. While I did mention that the food taste like what you would expect for any Chinese resto, that is basically saying that there is nothing remarkable enough to write it. If you have dined in other Chinese restos like Hap Chan, or North Park expect the same level of quality on par for those. Certainly you won't get short changed like Chowking. But if you aren't adventurous enough to eat at those dirty looking restos in Binondo (that's often where the best foods are) that you'll find Chinese or Chinoy people eat, then this is the safest Choice. The service at the resto is impeccable. I don't leave tip, but given their attentiveness and politeness I just have to leave one at least. Though there's a service charge included in the menu, I might have made a mistake on that one. 😁😂🤣 I won't be eating there again. Not because it's bad. But there are a lot of restos in the area that I would like to try. I breathe Chinese food so I kinda want to eat there if needed be.

  • 4/5 Rina Jean O. 4 years ago on Google
    Tasry food tho don't expect too much about the interior of the resto. Price is not so cheap but the food is somehow delicious.

  • 5/5 Ai A. 11 months ago on Google
    The food was very delicious! Kudos to the server for being very kind and got concerned when my mom wasn't aware that her sleeve got dipped in the sauce.

    Love the dimsum here. Jolina, the food attendant is very polite and jolly. The comfort room can do better. Please have your staff clean the toilet.

  • 5/5 Superbomby m. 9 months ago on Google
    We went to Ongpin to look for jewelry and had to look for nearby food establishments to eat at. We tried two tea houses, one of which is this one. The flavor of the dishes is superior. They have free parking too which is great.

  • 4/5 Benedict S. 1 year ago on Google
    Good Chinese food inside the restaurant. Beside the main restaurant is their take out counter for frozen foods. The price is much cheaper but of different quality, for retailers / resellers

  • 5/5 Nap Anthony B. 1 year ago on Google
    Watermelon Shake is Fresh which I Love so refreshing!! Dimsum Platter is worth it best choice if you want to try variety of dimsum, Beef Brisket Noodles is a bomb grabe the meat is so tender melts in your mouth kahit di mo na nguyain, Hot Prawn Salad taste bland same with Yang Chow Fried Rice please check but overall we really had a good time. We'll be back for sure..

  • 4/5 Edith F. 1 year ago on Google
    if you haven't been to a Chinese restaurant, this is very good for noobs. taste is very close to the taste of Filipino food. the place is a bit dark as most conventional Chinese restos are. price is reasonable.

  • 3/5 Eden S. 1 year ago on Google
    Service is not good. Crews are not attentive and busy discussing about their “paluwagan”. Our order siomai came in very late and was just prepared after several follow-ups. Food was average.

  • 5/5 Kim N. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered hakaw and beancurd roll. David's has one of the best hakaw - generous amount of shrimp and thin dimsum wrap. Beancurd roll is also good, but not as good as King Chef's.

    Thought would have a good night for a soup and a few beers to chill but not as much as we expected how good the food will be although the waitress that night is cute would date her but I'm out of the Philippines now.Restroom isn't clean.Tourists or what we call balikbayans like me aren't so happy with the restrooms we encounter on every restaurants we eat.
