Our favorite authentic and classic chinatown Mami -- Masuki!!! This is my mom and I's favorite mami place. The mami comes with separated siopao sauce that is used to add flavor to the soup! (otherwise its gonna be tasteless) We always order the Special size Beef noodles and ask them to serve it in 2 bowls hehe And this is also how I learned to add hot sauce to my noodles because they don't have chili oil or any other chili aside from the hot sauce. at first I find it weird but now I LOVE IT!!! ♥ Plus their Asado siopao is a must try my favorrrriiiiite!
One regular mami split into 2. This is a classic from Manila Chinatown. I'll share some not so secret: add some siopao sauce into the soup to add more flavor! This always hits the spot whenever i'm feeling under the weather.
After a very long while, finally, I was able to eat at Masuki. You see, the brand guested in our TV show a year ago and the owner extended an invitation for me to visit which, unfortunately, took me this long to do.
Masuki Restaurant was everything I imagined it to be. Once you step inside, it was an entirely different world. Simple interiors, bright white lights, dining area being manned by servers, though not trained to be polished and skilled waiters, are experts at what they do. The place was not immaculate but clean enough and the air was thick with that Chinese “smell” unique to eateries found in Avenida, Manila. I may be exaggerating with my descriptions but that was how Masuki struck me. Beautifully iconic.
The Wonton Chicken and Asado with the sweet sauce we finished in record time together with the bigger-than-usual Siomai pieces. The Taipao (bigger-than-usual siopao) we asked to be halved which we ended up wrapping to bring home.
I am quite pleased that authentic cuisine that usually can only be found in binondo has finally found its way in other parts of the Metro. Of course, the winning combination of siopao and special mami. Could not help but feel nostalgic since these were favorites of my parents when they used to study in Manila. I hope the younger generation will patronize this place as a way of connecting to a part of our culinary history that dates back hundreds of years.
Hands down to this authentic resto from Binondo, my fave, MASUKI ❤️
Ps: whenever ure eating at masuki, always remember to pour your asado sauce sa noodles niyo and yung asado sauce it is given to u at first pa lang before the noods. Pour it there and dont just eat the noodles without it.
Pps: sarap ng siopao, u can order the regular one, malaki na rin naman
One of our family’s comfort food. We make it a point to eat here in Masuki every time we drop by Mega Mall.
We ordered the following:
*Original Mami
*Beef Mami
*Wonton Mami
*Regular Asado Siopao
*Pork Siomai
No frills menu. I love mixing the Siopao sauce in my Original Mami bowl! Brings back good old childhood memories of Ma Mon Luk.

Comfort food.
That's how I'd describe a huge bowl of Masuki noodles. Their chewy noodles have a very unique bite into it, not soggy, which goes very well with the broth. Talking about the broth, they'd serve you with this brown, sweet sauce what you can actually put on your noodles soup. Weird? No! It turns the soup into this very rich broth and elevates it. Depending on what you get, either the chicken or the pork asado, their meats are tender yet full of flavor. Now I think I'd want a bowl. Like right now.
The place is simple yet spacious. Mirrors by the walls make the place bigger.
Service is very quick and it's very good.
I'm not too big on mami but I tend to go here whenever I crave for that oh-so-sweet mami sauce to go along with your noodles. One cup of the sauce for the noodles, another one as my dip for wantons. You'll probably be better off buying the 'special' kinds of mami as for just a few pesos more, you'd get a larger bowl. The noodles are just a bit ok to my liking, it is when paired with the sauce that it shines more.
Not a fan of the, ummm, peculiar smell though.
Nothing bad to say with the staff. They're quite attentive.
We love the classic siopao/mami combination and it’s available in quite a number of restaurants that we know such as, Chowking and Ma Mon Luk. Since I was a kid, I’ve always loved going to Ma Mon Luk in Cubao, but for several years now, it’s already closed and the only branch that’s open right now is in Quezon Avenue. They have this unique siopao taste as well as that aroma. They are located at the basement level near the center, by the arcades, in Building B.
All-time favorite, comfort food in its truest form.
Chicken, beef, & wonton is super, noodles are perfect.
The broth is really really tasty, similar to ma mon luk!
Was surprised with the ample siopao sauce given despite ordering just 1 siopao... The secret is to add sauce to the mami & it takes the flavor to another level!
