Great experience! It is my dream to experience a dim sum (wide choices) all you can.Food - Favorite dim sum choices are definitely available. Orders are always freshly cooked/prepared/served. Stand out for me are the Crispy Pork & Shrimp Wanton, Salmon Taro Puff, Xiao Long Pao, Pork BBQ Siopao, Aloe Vera, Watercress, Ampalaya Buchi and Bun w/ Custard + Egg Yolk.Servers - Friendly and attentive.Ambiance - Very authentic Chinese experience.Note: Rated as 4 as you should have patience in waiting for the food. Tip to share, order in bulk as it takes time to received your placed order.

As of 6/4/19We tried the Xin Tian Di dimsum buffet courtesy of Deal Grocer (which essentially charges PHP 800 per person). Overall, the dimsum I liked and would reorder:- Steamed pork ribs- Bird's nest dumpling- Glutinous pork roll- Ampalaya buchiSo you'll notice how the list isn't long? Essentially their dimsum is decent but it certainly isn't WOW. in fact, I found it rather underwhelmingAside from food though, service was superb---As of 3/10/19Excellent value for money, especially with the BDO 50% off promo. We got the following dishes, and would highly recommend the ones with a 🌟1. Shredded chicken and wild mushroom bird's nest soup2. Crabmeat and conpoy bird's nest soup 🌟3. Wood oven roasted duck Peking style- Duck in pancake 🌟- Stuffed minced duck in lettuce cup4. Stewed Boneless chicken with Chinese sausage and bamboo shoot with homemade XO sauce in claypot 🌟 : the chicken is REALLY tender, but the overall dish was rather salty so you have to pair it with rice5. Steamed halibut with golden garlic dipped in honey black vinegar 🌟 : silky smooth, but dami tinik!6. Marinated pork spare ribs deep fried in garlic white bean curd sauce 🌟 : so addicting!7. Xin tian di specialty noodles8. Yan Zhou fried rice9. Ampalaya buchi : won't give it a star but it's certainly interestingOverall, our bill came out to PHP 5000 - super sulit given how full we all were afterwards (may doggie bag pa kaming inuwi!

Upon arriving, we were greeted by their friendly waitstaff and escorted to our table. One thing I couldn't help but immediately notice was how stuffy and humid it was inside the restaurant. The air conditioning system was not working and there weren't enough electric fans to go around. You could see people fanning themselves. The staff, accommodating as they were, did not appear to know how to pay attention to or anticipate guests' needs (water refill, tissue paper for customers who were visibly uncomfortable with the no-AC situation). I was sweating and asked for tissue paper. It never arrived.Food-wise, we ordered several dishes and thankfully, a number of them exceeded our expectations (items with an asterisk at the end)- 2-way Peking Duck (Roasted Duck and Stewed Shredded duck with Udon)*- Sliced Sea Abalone with Homemade Spinach Tofu*- Wok-Fried Beef Tenderloin with Goose Liver in Black Pepper Sauce*- Poached Pwans with Szechuan Pepper and Chili Bean Sauce*- Wok-Fried Lamb Fillet with Bean Sauce served with Pancake- Vegetarian Dimsum Platter- Steamed Cod Fish Fillet with Egg White and Celery Sauce Topped with Wolfberry*- Aloe Vera Jelly and Sweet White Fungus with Coconut Milk- Ampalaya Buchi*- Mango TapiocaDiners visit your restaurant not only for the food, but also for the comfort, ambiance, and service. It is a bit of a let-down when minor issues like that ruin what could have been a great dining experience.

Amazing Chinese selections! Their 2 way pecking duck gives an explosion of flavors, and gives you that “melts in your mouth experience”. They also have a selection of Crabs which you can have cooked your way.Try their ampalaya buchi for dessert!! It’s quite an experience for sweet tooths like me.

VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!!!! We wanted to celebrate father’s day here and availed their unli dimsum. We were expecting above average for both food and services, umfortunatelt it was the opposite. For our fisrt set dimsums, we waited for almost and hour before our order was served, partially. Upon seeing the size of their dimsums, which was very small, we dicuded to place our 2nd set of dimsum, after 40 minutes of waiting, we asked the waiter to check on our order, then the waiter came back to us and they could not find the order sheet, what???(i think they are just using those kind of delaying tactics) so asked us to place our orders again, then wait for another 40 minutes:(..Really not worth it, P1400 for a less than 10 dimsums served? Go find other resto to spend your hard earnes money!

Both food and service were good, and I would have given this restaurant a higher rating if not for lots of dimsum were not available. Since advance reservation is a must to avail the dimsum buffet, then they already knew how much food should be prepared for the day. And what annoyed me most was we were informed that a particular dish was unavailable almost 20 minutes after we placed the order! Good thing their hakaw somewhat dissipated my frustrations, it was really good, shrimp was big and crunchy. Another head cooler was their aloe vera jelly, it was so refreshing, I polished off 5 bowls by myself, but the bowl was small so definitely not considered as a glutton (yet) 😂. Saw they served Peking duck in another table and it looks really juicy and appetizing. Will definitely go back to try that dish one of these days.

Great service and very efficient staff. They're all over the place, you won't have a hard time ordering. We had the unlimited dimsum for lunch. The food tastes authentic. Please try our favorites, the fried hakaw and taro puffs! Fyi, we are a group of four, and finished 75 dimsum plates (mostly dumplings)! HahahaAlso, the place is huge enough to accommodate large groups and families. :)

My lovely friend treated me and my boyfriend for a double date at XTD. She got a coupon from one of those coupon sites I forgot where 😅 basically two pax for the price of one. It includes all you can eat dimsum around 45 dishes. It was less than 1k per person not bad for the price. We ate a lot and couldn’t remember the names but the taro puff was one of my favorites along with the dumplings. We took our sweet sweet time trying out as much as we can that evening. 😂 Our Chinese food cravings was certainly satisfied.

While we usually follow the gregorian calendar when we celebrate our traditional new year, we Filipinos also celebrate Chinese New Year. With over centuries of friendship and some of the Chinese traders settling down in the country. We have learned and cultivated some of their traditions as our own. We actually have the oldest China town in the world due to this influence.

First time to try out their all you can eat dimsum buffet. Didnt meet our expectations. Didnt meet the minimum requirement of edible food especially at the price of Php 1,400 per head!Siomai and hakaw are so dry. Machang was watery. Spring rolls were drenched in oil and the filling was just mushy. Chili wanton was just wanton with chili oil. Salmon taro and vegetarian taro were the same, no salmon to be found. Spareribs had an overwhelmin soy sauce and black bean taste. Japanese siomai was so dry and hard. The boiled kailan and lettuce were tastless and badly presentedNote worthy dishes: radish cake, beef hofan and beef noodle soupThe restaurant is undermanned. Food delivered came in doubles and it took forever for them to serve.I have had better, quality dimsum at affordable prices with far better servicingNever again!
