wish they'll expand their place.

I had the best first taste of Pork Leeks dumplings in this small and humble chinese snack place. It was so good that all I wanna say is that you guys should try it! (Best paired with their in-house chili oil and soy sauce). We also ordered Special Beef Noodles which at first taste like water with noodles and beef, but when you add that hint of chili and soy sauce: Voila! It works like magic. Suddenly it will taste like a really good beef broth. Not a fan of their XLB but its not too bad to try. Cheap, as it only cost Php 162 per 12 pcs of dumplings, Php 182 for the 8 pcs Xiao Long Bao and Php 188 for the Beef Noodles which is already good for sharing. The service was kinda poor but I get it. It’s cheap and a lot of people are ordering here even during wee hours. Can’t blame them.

I like that LBJ is just close to home and open 24 hours. It can get pretty crowded during the evening and you can expect waiting at least 20 mins before getting a table since their capacity is max 20 I think. Their XLB is good, I also like their beef noodles. Kudos to the helpful and approachable staff, too!

Habaan mo ang pasensya mo dahil laging mahaba ang pila dito pero sulit na sulit ang Kutchay Dumplings. Kung hindi naman pang kargador ang appetite mo busog ka na sa 12 na malalaking piraso sa halagang 158. Siksik na siksik ito at may kaunting sabaw sa loob ng dumpling hindi puro hangin. Malinamnam kaya ito yung kutchay dumplings na maiisip mo kahit pag uwi mo. Yung Xiao Long Bao naman nila parang lotto lang, swertehan. Minsan may sabaw minsan wala. VERDICT: NAKAKALOKA SA SARAP
Their xiao long bao is one of the best I've tasted. We ate it together with their fried rice (nothing goes wrong with rice) and their special beef noodle. The serving of fried rice is good for three, but I think you can eat it alone too. The restaurant is small so be prepared to wait at least 30 minutes before being seated. In my opinion, it is worth the wait though so you just have to be patient.
Place is open 24/7 and located adjacent to where i live, so it's very convenient for me. I eat here a lot and I order Pork Leeks Dumpling (₱162/12pcs) most of the time, and it never failed to comfort me! 😄
My go to place for dumplings! Love the Kutchay Dumpling and Guotie. Their noodles are also good. Great price for the serving size. I always have this delivered every time I crave for it, and because the dining area is small. Be ready to wait it you come here during peak hours.
Best place for dimsum in this part of Makati! Love the xiao long bao and petchay/kutchay dumpling. Servings are huge and price is pretty affordable too.

The food is really great. A must try. But if you are willing to wait in line.
The best xiao long bao I’ve ever tasted (here in the PH)! Plus it’s very budget-friendly! Their other offerings are very good as well - noodles and pork bread! The space is quite small though so you need to wait for the queue as the tables get full fast.
