I recently went to the Luk Foo branch in Puregold Caloocan to celebrate my grandmother's birthday…read more At first, I was skeptical of this choice because I have never been to a Luk Foo restaurant before. Nonetheless, I decided to give it a try. The interior of this branch is very relaxing. The decorations, the design of the tables and the hall itself resemble the traditional design of Chinese restaurants, but the use of light colors and bright lighting makes one feel at ease here. The service is very timely and cordial. This restaurant is perfect for large groups of people celebrating birthdays, baptisms, and other life events. If you are looking for a relatively quiet dining place, this is not your cup of tea. Keeping with its Chinese theme, Luk Foo offers a wide variety of classic Chinese foods, such as yang chow rice, Chinese-style chicken, dumplings, and pancit canton. Whether your order is for solo meals or groups, the servings are really large. In fact, our group went home with a lot of leftovers that were consumed the next few days. Customers will have their appetites satisfied and they all taste delicious. I particularly enjoyed its version of cream dory, which is crispy and tender at the same time. The meals are also really cheap given the serving size. Honestly, this may be one of the most affordable restaurants I have ever been in. If you are in the Caloocan area craving for Chinese food with your friends and family, Luk Foo in Puregold Caloocan is probably the best Chinese-themed restaurant in the area.

Don't know why but we received free Radish cake with our order (no pic) and it was heavenly! Wish I could have had more Anyway, I ordered the spare rib rice topping for 155 pesos. It was served hot and I truly loved it! The spare ribs were soft and together with the seasoned rice, everything was flavorful! The pork and shrimp dumplings were also great! I asked for some chili sauce as a side and it's very good with both dishes! I feel like coming back here to try a different set of dishes! Overall, great price, serving size and awesome flavor!

I have to admit, this place ruined me. I'm very discerning when it came to Chinese food. Growing up…read morewith a large Chinese family, my life did not lack authentic Chinese food, and I hated big-name restaurants with their bland food and exorbitant prices - such a shame on our heritage, they are. But man, Tim Ho Wan is on a whole other league. The momentI but into their signature pork buns, I had to physically stop myself from crying. THIS is pure bliss, I thought. THIS is what real happiness feels like. But the happiness didn't stop there. We ordered hakao (wow), congee (it had SO MUCH century egg - it was amazing), and chicken mushroom rice (kinda meh, but it was in good company so it hardly mattered). The service was amazing as well - our orders arriving in record time and always with a smile. And you'd think that because it was a Michelin-star restaurant, you'd break the bank with one order, but the food is surprisingly cheap. Less than Php200 for each order? Yes, please.

I go here almost once a week and I just love the variety of the menu. I think the incredible taste of the food is testament to the kitchen staff's skill, because it still tastes pretty bomb even if we take out a lot of ingredients from the food. I don't eat pork, and considering that Chinese gets a lot of its flavors from pork, the food still comes out great. Great job!

We ended up here as our second choice after finding out that Vikings Buffet was completely packed,…read morewith a wait time of several hours. As it turned out, that was a blessing in disguise. From the moment we walked in, we were seated almost immediately. The staff were incredibly accommodating, attentive, and genuinely friendly. They took the time to make several recommendations, and we're so glad we followed them. We started with the Shrimp and Pork Siomai, which was absolutely delicious. The filling was juicy, and each bite burst with flavor. The tofu was another standout, perfectly cooked with great texture and seasoning. We also ordered the Shrimp with Salted Egg Yolk, and wow, it was rich, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. The Oyster Omelette sounded a little unusual at first, but it turned out to be surprisingly delicious as well. One dish I can't forget is the Honey Barbecue Pork, which deserves an honorable mention. It had the perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. I don't know if we simply got lucky, but every single dish we ordered was fantastic. The restaurant itself has a classy yet welcoming atmosphere. It's clean, well-maintained, and comfortable without feeling overly formal. Overall, this was a wonderful dining experience, and I'd happily recommend it to anyone looking for a great Chinese restaurant in SM North.

Generally, I find the quality and authenticity of the food here to be excellent. The only criticism…read moreI have (the reason for 4 not 5 stars) is the tendency for some of the dishes to be sweet. Now, that's a personal opinion! I have eaten at two location and each time spent over 1,000 pesos and qualified for the free xia long bao. Other rewards are available but those I am not getting into for they maybe temporary in nature. I have tried two of their specials - the three cup chicken and the sweet spare ribs. The three cup chicken, eaten with white rice, is a great meal by itself. The original recipe calls for three cups of sesame oil, soy sauce and rice vinegar. Cooked with large chunks of ginger and garlic cloves, and basil thrown it, it is a very addictive dish! The sweet spare rib was a bit too sweet for me ( served sprinkled with powdered sugar) it is best eaten I think, if a complementary spicy dish like Kung Pao shrimp. The xia long bao is as good as others - I really enjoyed it when served hot. For vegetables, the standard fare such as spinach, morning glory, and book choy are available. For our choice, we ordered the green beans with ground pork. Salty and spicy, it was a welcome change from the standards. We found the roast duck to be very greasy - we wondered if it was fried not roasted. I would not order it again. We found the service to be attentive but not obtrusive! Definitely will eat here again.

It can be the place you visit with your family for a weekend lunch or dinner or a place for celebrating a birthday or milestone. The second floor has function rooms, bigger tables, and set menus perfect for celebrating! This restaurant has done well over the fee years it has been open because the Chinese owner tries to be hands on as much as possible. He makes sure that his staff is efficient and he remembers those who eat there often. Quality control is something they value which is why his staff is so well trained and their food does not disappoint. I have yet to try the other branches of King Bee but this is the one branch i can definitely vouch for. Our favorite dishes such as Sweet Sour Pork, Tausi Fish Fillet, dimsum, and yang chow are all pretty good but make sure you try the sotanghon crab.

If you ask me what my go-to all-you-can-eat place is, I would without much hesitation say it is…read moreTong Yang. True, it is not the best in terms of variety and you still have to cook your food. But, for me, the idea of cooking my own food is the reason why I like Tong Yang. It allows me to control the ingredients I put in my food. If I don't want to add meat, I can choose not to. That's unlike most all-you-can-eat places where the dishes are already cooked. You cannot tell the restaurant anymore to avoid putting this or that ingredient. If I want to put lots and lots of mushrooms and vegetables, I can do so. One of the reasons why I keep coming back to Tong Yang is to eat plenty of mushrooms because on my own I cannot buy even ¼ as much as those served in Tong Yang. At least, looking for and buying the different kinds of mushroom is off my list. I only need to get as much as I can eat and cook them. If I want to put different kinds of fish or seafood into my sinigang, no one can tell me that it can't be. At home, some family members may find it odd for me to put two types of fish or maybe mix salmon with shrimp. Or, if they don't find it odd, they would stop me for budget constraints. One type of fish or seafood may already be expensive. Adding another would really put a dent in our wallets. In that case, I couldn't be stubborn. But, in Tong Yang, the ingredients are there and the price is set so I can do as I wish.

Let me start by saying that I didn't expect much. Afterall, this restaurant is attached to a…read moregrocery store and isn't situated within one of Manila's fancy malls. Soooo...yeah. That said, my parents who visit the Philippines more often than I do swear by this place. When I said I wanted Chinese food for lunch, they suggested Luk Foo, and my uncle agreed that Luk Foo was a great option. I wasn't sold but considering that traffic in Manila SUCKS and my uncle lives in the subdivision right next door, it really wasn't up to me. Well, I WAS WRONG to assume it was going to be a subpar meal. Luk Foo has some of the best Chinese food I have ever had. Clean dining room, attentive wait staff and great food - can't really ask for more than that, especially from a Chinese restaurant that is attached to a grocery store. Really. We ordered chicken pansit. Noodles were cooked PERFECTLY. I hate mushy noodles which happens more often than not. The chef at LuK FOo has his noodle game on point. We ordered sweet and sour lapu lapu, spicy salt and pepper spare ribs, ampalaya and beef, some shrimp dish, taro puff (the best I've ever had) and something else I can't remember. I love dim sum and order taro puff every time I have dim sum...and Luk Foo has the BEST taro puff. Perfect crispy outside with generous filling of taro and beef. Even my mom who is typically not a fan of taro puff, loved it. Win. We ordered 7 dishes for less than P3,000. So worth it. In fact, it was a bargain by our American standards. Will be back for sure.

If you ask which national cuisine has the widest variety of dishes, Chinese would be a wise bet for…read morethe correct answer. I wouldn't consider myself that old, but, in my young life, I have tasted quite an array of Chinese food. Too many to count. At any rate, I wouldn't expect to be surprised by sitting at dinner before a host of yet untasted Chinese cooking. A meal at Luk Foo proved my expectations wrong. In other Chinese restaurants, dishes may vary in taste but one can say that there is a certain uniformity in the menu. Luk Foo breaks this pattern of uniformity. They have a way of cooking meat, fish, shrimps and vegetables in ways that are original. For instance, they succeed in giving their Seafood Tofu Soup a taste that is exquisite: light and delicious. The same goes for their Steamed Garlic Fish Fillet with Eggplant and Lohan with Beancurd Vegetables. So before you say seen it all, tasted it all, visit Luk Foo.

The halo-halo was the standout for me--really hit the spot and perfect for the weather. The palabok was very generous with the sauce, which I appreciated, though flavor-wise it wasn't especially memorable for me since I've had better elsewhere. The sisig on rice was okay, but I wish there was a bit more sisig compared to the amount of rice. The place was packed though, so clearly a lot of people keep coming back for a reason. I'd still be open to returning and trying some of their other ulam next time.

I love the sauce with sesame seeds, slightly crunchy coating, and the soft meat! Everything stayed very hot even after picturing them. Serving is good for 1-2 people, though I actually felt I could split the bowl in 3 to cover breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I'm using all-caps to say it's HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to try.
