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.

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!

The restaurant itself is fairly standard. Nothing too special but it did look like they had a private party room. The other items we ordered were all pretty delicious (har gow, pork siomai, prawns in Peking sauce, fried noodles with seafood, superior fried rice, and buchi).

I always order the Fried Pork Cho Rice. It comes with a huge, tenderized, thin, and breaded pork chop with plain rice. The outside is crispy and well seasoned. Yummy! Do not miss the sauce! It's on the table (look like soy sauce but it's not) that goes very well with it. It also comes with a bowl of soup. I have ordered the dumplings before... they are good. You have the option of having it steamed or pan fried. I also always order the winter melon juice. Not sure how to describe the taste but it's a sweet and refreshing drink esp when it's hot outside. Staff is pretty efficient. Once seated, they will give the menu for you to look at and come back (or wave them over) to place your order. Decor is basic... more like a hole in the wall restaurant. Check them out when you are in the area.

David's is more known for their dimsum, which to me is not as good as those in key restaurants in Binondo, but it was a lovely surprise to discover their chicken!

I kinda wish I had this with someone else because there was no way I could have finished this stock by myself.

Caveat: This was my first time eating shabu shabu so I am by no standard an expert. I'll be writing…read morethis review from a newcomer's first taste and as an American tourist. Shabu shabu seems to me kinda like pho in that it takes some experimenting to figure out how you like it, which, therefore, means you need to try it several times before you find your perfect combination. Or maybe I'm just the only person in the world who finds pho meh. After my experience at Lau Chan, I'm inclined to think the same about shabu shabu. Either we were ineffective at ordering the right combination or perhaps I just didn't like it. All I know is it wasn't a "love at first bite" experience as I've encountered with countless other new cuisines and as I was hoping based off the reviews. Helpful tourist information: This was a difficult spot for us to find. The restaurant is 4-5 blocks south of the Yelp map location. The servers didn't speak much English and even when we used Tagalog they didn't seem too keep on explaining or helping us with the menu. I'm not sure what people mean by cheap but our meal for two people (one large, sharable soup) was comparatively one of the most expensive in Manila. If you're into shabu shabu, according to the other reviews, Lau Chan seems like a great place to go. I wouldn't recommend going if you don't know much about it and think you'd have trouble communicating to the staff.

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!

The maki mi came piping hot with those tender pork strips swimming in thick, savory gravy--perfectly balanced, not too salty, just deeply satisfying. Paired it with their chunky homemade kikiam and a bowl of miki bihon loaded with fresh fish balls that actually taste like real fish, not the processed kind. The place is still the same old-school, no-frills spot upstairs with the AC blasting, tables squeezed together, and that familiar hum of families chatting over bowls. Nothing fancy, but everything hits exactly right. Been coming here since I was a kid and it's still one of the few places that never disappoints.
