Location and actual place aside, judging based on the food alone, this old school resto deserves praise.I think this has been around the area for 2 or more decades. Its proximity on UP manila area made it popular among students and UP employees, aside from its regular filipino-chinese patrons.Famed for their braised beef -with rice or noodles, they also serve fresh seafood viands, dimsums, their own formula of 3-in-1 coffee, buko salad/pandan, and Maricar Reyes' (wife of Richard poon -son of the owner) liqour cakes.We ordered their all time favorite braised beef (220pesos) noodles and special beef rice (215pesos).Beef is incredibly soft and tender, their sauce is light soy -not too salty, a little garlicky, and their broth is definitely natural beef flavored, with just the right salt.If i were to choose, the beef noodles is definitely worth the try.

Was our first restaurant to visit after we arrived and dropped our bags.We ordered rice toppings: sinigang na baboy rice , curry beef rice, tomato beef rice and water crest spare ribs soup. Service was good but was disappointed with the food. 2 small cubes of ribs on i think 3/4cup size bowl with spinach (water crest was not available). It was like maybe 5 spoonful content. Tomato beef rice was not good either. Curry beef was more of a tripe than beef meat. If I only knew, we would have tried the roasted duck and noodle soup instead of rice.

This long time Chinese restaurant serves authentic Chinese food. They have a wide selection, I recommend their specialty fish, tausi clams, and their porkchops with yang chow.
