After church my brothers and I decided to try the place that my friends speak highly of, to check it out and see if it lives up to it's hype. True enough there is authenticity in its Chinese cuisine, dishes that has rich and diversified but harmonious color, aromatic flavor, and excellent taste. I came for their dimsum, The choices are limited but I must say, by far, it's the best dimsum I ever had in Cebu City. I'm done eating dimsum at the mall. I also tried the other dishes my brothers ordered, and I say this place has the best Chinese food I ever had in Cebu City, The place was packed but we got there just 5 minutes before all tables were taken. The servers were quite efficient, patient and friendly. The place was kinda noisy during lunch time. Happy diners maybe?

One of the most authentic chinese restaurants ive tried thanks to my cousin who brought us here 2…read moreyears ago. Until today, taste of their food is still very good. We always get the shrimp dumplings and the soup dumplings. Dip them in chili sauce and wow! Delicious! The seafood is always fresh. They have live fish, lobster, and even eel that you can pick from outside. May not be a good idea for animal lovers though or for anyone not into that sort of thing, i mean seeing that their meal was alive just a few minutes ago. But anyway, their food is really flavorful. And from what i hear, chefs are really from places such as hongkong etc and so the taste they put into their food is really authentic chinese. I got to try the spinach soup today too and it was surprisingly really good! They added egg, tofu and shrimp so it tasted more like a healthy egg drop! I loved it! Gotta check this place out if you havent yet.

From the soup to the rock lobster with ginger and scallion, fried seafood roll, Yang chow fried rice. It was like having dinner at home with ama cooking for us!! If you haven't been to this place, I highly recommend you to try it. Service was quick and very spacious restaurant. It's located on the south side of Il Corso off the SRP. TRY THIS PLACE...You won't be disappointed, I guarantee it!!

A function area with a small elevated platform is available in the upper level as well as dividers to partition off different dining groups into their own private spaces. We loved everything that we ordered: hand-made boiled dumpling, seafood seven color soup, and sizzling pepper beef, just to list of a few. Service was fast from the time of ordering to the time the food was served. We did not need to wait long before starting to eat. The only miss was that one of our orders which is the Xiamen fried oyster with egg came a lot later than the others. We were almost finished with our food when the oyster was served. Some of the other dishes were already finished and there was not a lot of rice left.

This place NEVER gets old. They have many branches all over Cebu so they're easy to locate. We prefer this place over Harbour City dimsum when it comes to food flavor and seasoning. They're located on 3rd floor, near the bowling alley, I tried editing the address but whoever at yelp is changing my post is not paying attention. We always dine on this branch as it is in the mall and close to our place. Their space used to be big, they've shrunk and now it's hard to find a spot on peak hours. They take credit card but because of spotty internet connection, better bring cash.

So I came with some prejudices when my cousin invited us for her birthday lunch. It was an 11 course meal which she customized and ordered in advance for three tables. First came the dried scallop soup with vegetable green which looked plain and simple, but it surprisingly impressed my taste buds. That first impression got me excited for the dishes that were to follow: Shrimp salad, crispy roasted chicken, steamed Lapulapu fish, Sweet and sour pork, Dim sum sampler platter, braised beef, the birthday pancit, Stir fried green beans, and finally fried rice with fried anchovies. For dessert, it was Japanese fried eggroll with cream cheese and seaweed, and sesame balls. Even I was amazed by my appetite at this table. I loved every single dish. Well prepared, delicious, properly textured and well presented. I was looking forward to their Peking duck which was not available because of the pandemic. I learned they import their Peking duck from Hongkong. I guess that will be a good reason to go back. I will definitely proclaim Tin Gow as one of the best, if not the best Chinese restaurant in Cebu. I believe good restaurant food is knowing what to order and what you're ordering. Prior visits aid in making that decision. Knowing the chef and talking to them also helps. This was definitely a gastronomically memorable dining experience.
