    One of the best meals I had while in Binondo. My orders were simple β€” shrimp fried rice and salted egg pork spare ribs. They did not scrimp on the shrimp such that the rice still had shrimp up to the last bite. They deboned the spare ribs, so I was able to eat the entire dish (no messy munching on the bone). The salted egg sauce was buttery and had the right saltiness. The service was fast (maybe because it was already way past lunch time) and the servers were attentive.

    Always a good time whenever we visit. The owner, a charming, old lady is so friendly and quick to chat. Our go to place for Lo Han Chay (Stir Fried Vegetables in Oyster Sauce) As with all Binondo food stops, street level parking on a first come first served basis.

    Awi's offers an authentic Chinese dining experience that makes you want to come back for more. I enjoyed their seafood fried noodles, plus their friendly staff made eating here even more pleasant. The dining area is quite cramped though and it can get quite noisy once the crowd builds up. The menu items are well-known though, so eating here at least once is highly recommended.

    The people are great and occomodating. The food is great too. If you want authentic Chinese food, come here. Their dumplings are awesome as well. You should get some. It's an experience worth experiencing. Be sure to take lots of friends who are thirsty for some food adventure. It will not disappoint.

    Hidden gem in Ongpin. I never thought that their Mapo tofu would be this good and fresh. Their signature dumplings was very delicious too, their dumpling wrapper is silky. Highly recommended!

    Delicious food. When in doubt, ask Chinese lola to hook you up with best sellers. I particularly love their salt and pepper squid; the squid was cooked perfectly. All other dishes were delicious as well

    Food quality is great. You'll be pleasantly surprised. They have a good Chinese cook in the back. Prices... I'd say 300+ for a couple

    Highly Recommended!! Great food. Love their Oyster Cake, Awi's Siomai, Raddish Cake, Chicken Pie and Spicy Soy Dumplings! They also have variety of stir-fried noodles, Noodle Soup and they're ALL VERY GOOD!!! Fresh Lumpia is served very monday, and its a "MUST TRY!" (The BEST lumpia I've tried ever!) Price is reasonable.

    This Awi's Cafe and Restaurant for me is best for snacks. What I enjoyed most were the combination of Fried Noodles stuffed with Shredded Pork paired with their signature Awi's Siopao. Best combination ever. πŸ₯°

  • 4/5 JBO S a c e. 7 years ago on Google
    Excellent cuisine. Chinese food with various twists. Try the coffee spareribs. But has become one of Binondo's expensive restos. Also has excellent staff and personalized customer service.

  • 5/5 Elise D. 7 months ago on Google
    Love the atmosphere it feels homey. The food we ordered like the coffee ribs and bird's nest are definitely an acquired taste but I love their sate beef noodles. They also have toilet for those wondering Edit: got to try their food again with some company, everything we had was so good!

  • 5/5 Grace R. 11 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Recz B. 6 months ago on Google
    Our food crawl brought us to Awi's Cafe for our 2nd stop. It was lunch time and we were hungry to we ended up eating more than we should since we only meant to sample bestsellers. The menu was extensive but there were quite a lot of these unavailable when we were there so we just asked the staff for recommendation what what was available at the time. We had the following: Crab & Corn Soup P148 Raddish Cake with Kutchay P278 πŸ˜‹πŸ‘ Awi's Special Chicken Half 352 Yang Chow P275 Out of all we ordered, the Raddish Cake with Kutchay was unanimously the best food we had at Awi's.

    Expensive but good quality food. Just don't order the tostadong pancit it's litterally like a left over pancit.

    Best Chinese environment and ladies who are friendly. Some karaoke for Chinese songs. We loved the experience.

  • 3/5 Christine C. 5 years ago on Google
    The food tasted good. It was cooked well. Not authentic though. We ordered food that was supposed to be spicy, but wasn't spicy at all. We asked for chili oil, still wasn't spicy enough. Price is comparable to restaurant in the malls.

    Food is great in heart of Binondo! Great pansit recipes with vegetarian options. The siopao is huge.. Not much dessert options.. Parking is a problem. Walking distance from Sta. Cruz church..

  • 4/5 Jocelyn Y. 6 years ago on Google
    Love their lomi, siopao bola bola / asado! Birthday misua.

  • 4/5 Ellen G. 6 years ago on Google
    The sound system is rather good, the service is friendly, food is ok but a little salty. If you plan to stay for karaoke, then it is better to bring your own vcd, dvd. One more thing, most of the karaoke customers are chinese.
