    Nice! My usual go-tos there pre-pandemic were New Po Heng, Tasty Dumplings, Wai Ying, Dong Bei, Sincerity, & Cafe Mezzanine

    This! But add to this is Mr. Ube and my fave (even during my college days) Lan Zhou La Mien; best hand pulled noodles around the area, and they have a branch in LCT named San Guo La Mien.

    I've eaten in Wai Ying thrice mid last year, but the one in front of Hope so its open air. I could use some Lemon Chicken/Asado & Roast Duck rice/Ying Yong rice + Radish cake right now. :cry:

    Mm…perennial problem: no parking. Making it a pain to do the food crawl. Hate to walk long distances and tricycles are a pain to ride. It is a food mecca but with zero convenience unlike chinatowns in the US.

    I think they closed down due to complaint to Tulfo, when they starts, its 55 pesos and 40 with opening promo, now its too expensive for a bowl of noodle soup, food is ok but too expensive imho

    Sounds like a really good idea. I also have a habit of eating late at night even though it's not good but I still hope someone gives me a list.

    Posting this here as I haven't had the chance to try their "pares" so I can't make any recommendations

    Binondo restos have limited parking. If you want to eat whether you have a car, bike, or motorbike, I highly recommend Ying Ying on Dasmarinas. The food is excellent and the portions are good.

    Just did a quick errand in Binondo awhile ago and is surprised by how long the lines are on the popular restos (Chuan kee, Ying Ying, Wai Ying, etc) pretty good for a Friday afternoon, which used to be only the case during weekends.
