The dim sum cart came around quick, and we loaded up on hakaw, siu mai, char siu bao, and those amazing crispy taro puffs--everything was hot, fresh, and tasted just like the old-school spots back home. The spare ribs were tender and saucy, not overly sweet, and the yang chow fried rice had that perfect wok hei. Service was friendly even though it was packed; our server made sure we had hot tea refills without us asking. Super affordable too--we fed six of us and still had leftovers for under 2k. Total comfort food win. Definitely heading back next time we're in the area. Five stars all the way!

I can summarily declare that all the items we ordered were below our culinary standards in the following order from worst to not so bad. HK style fried noodles, the sauce was peanuty tasting poured over noodles. Horrible looking. The congee is not very appealing to the eyes and the palate. The duck was bony. The congee itself was barely hot. Siomai was no good either. The roasted duck with rice again lacking presentation appeal. The tofu skin roll is ok thus the 2 star. The waiter was very green. Served our sodas without glasses. Avoid and don't believe the hype.

Quality wise it is really food, can't complain. The beef brisket soup during promo hours is only 98 PHP. Definite must to get. Beancurd and shrimp dumplings are good too. My only complaint: service time. We got seated early and placed our orders early too. It took 30+ minutes to get some of the food orders in our table. It did take a couple of follow ups with the servers, but all orders were complete. Just wish the service was slightly faster. If you want an alternative to King Chef, then go here!

I am not really sure why but I always make it a point to dine here only during their promo hours. Yes, I guess I'm strategic like that. Or maybe perhaps this restaurant really offers affordable and quality food choices. Aside from their dimsum, I usually dine at Golden Fortune for their shabu-shabu promo hours. Me and my dining companions usually order up a storm whenever we're here. And despite how many dishes we order, the bill still comes out cheap. All the more reason to dine here again and again. Make sure to get both the sate and original soup to get the best of both broths. Must orders would have to be: tao pao, lamb, beef, lobster balls, watercress, corn, tofu, squid balls and udon.

The rice bowl was not too heavy a meal, which makes a great post-workout meal. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and had a clean and slightly sweet taste (mostly from the sauce that the server will pour in your rice bowl just before serving). The chinese chorizo brings more flavor to the dish, and the shiitake mushrooms add a pleasant texture. I only wish there were more of it. The BBQ pork bun had a tasty filling and a soft bun, with a slightly sweet tasting crust on top. It was so good we requested a second serving of it...and a third serving to go!

Outside the restaurant sits towers of dim sum steamers and since we were in the mood for a delicious dim sum lunch, we thought, why not take a chance on this restaurant? Once we entered, we were guided to our table in the crowded room and we then proceeded to order. We got the ever-popular hakaw or steamed shrimp dim sum, the sharks fin dumpling, an asado pao, steamed fish with taro and a plate of steamed broccoli. Most of the dim sum that's available in the restaurant is priced at a very reasonable Php 77. Our orders came quickly and we soon started chowing down. The hakaw and sharks fin dumplings were delicious, tender and juicy. The asado pao was also very tasty. The steamed fish with taro was just a little bit too dry for my liking and the fish was so small that it felt more like a taro dish. The steamed broccoli was very good, nicely seasoned with garlic. All in all, it was a good, filling, dim sum lunch!

Braised Soup HK Style with Shredded Chicken and Mushroom: This was okay. I'm probably not a fan of this type of soup but I wouldn't mind eating it again. Cold Barley Water: It was bland but what else could I have expected? Haha! Pork Dumpling with Shrimp: If we don't get Prawn Dumplings, this one is almost always present at our table. So yes, it's good! Since each bite was packed with pork and shrimp, it was pretty worth it. Pork Rib with Black Bean Sauce: I found it simple, subtle, and oily but perfect to my liking! Prawn Dumpling: Such a dumpling is our all-time favorite and this is the first kind we'd usually look for at any restaurant serving dumplings. The wrapper looked cute and fluffy yet it did a good job keeping all the generous pieces of shrimp packed together without easily breaking apart. Vermicelli Roll with Shrimp: My experience of this was simple: It's like an elongated Prawn Dumpling but with sauce.

This is a really popular Taiwanese dim sum restaurant located in Greenbelt 3. This time I had lunch with a good friend as she spared some time from her busy working mom schedule. Arrived midday, it was easy that they could accommodate a party of two. You can make reservations easily, or walk in. Luckily there are six other branches in Metro Manila. We needed a quick briefing because it's been a while since we ate at DTF. Ordered a bunch of items from the menu and each dish came out quickly.
