Reviews Han Pao Tea House

Sudden cravings for hot soup led me here. Upon reading good reviews, I didn't hesitate anymore...and this is the only (reputable) Chinese restaurant in the area (I think).

Halo-halo congee, beef mami, fried bean curd are all delicious and generous in portion. You can actually share the mami or congee, then order a dimsum easily with the roving dimsum cart, and you will be full.

Our family's favorite Chinese restaurant. We don't even read the menu anymore, we just order the usual noodle feast, tao pei roll, hakaw, chicken feet, and fried dumpling.

Must Try Dishes:
Hototay
Mango Sago
Hot Prawn Salad
Pata Tim
Salt and Pepper Garlic Squid

(+) ample parking
(+) affordable AND DELICIOUS dishes!
(+) happy servers

(-) old establishment
(-) no fancy table setting or utensils

Indeed one of the well established Chinese restos in the city!! I am so happy they kept their charm and mastered their dishes! Very laid back family restaurant atmosphere.

As a Filipino, Chinese cuisine is really close to our hearts even hundred of years ago we have deeply rooted cultural ties with them ❤️🇵🇭🇨🇳 so for all Chinese food goers out there, make @hanpaoteahouse part of your where to go and eat resto list. They serve good comforting food 😋 we had Minced Pork in Lettuce, hoisin is love! My personal top picked Hanpao Noodle Feast, it’s good for sharing having springy rice, it has spicy pork, braised beef, chicken and steamed dumpling. I also love the Warm milk pudding I was impressed with the soft warm texture balanced sweetness perfect for dessert after a savory feast. We were served with Mapo Tofu, Stuffed Beancurd, Chopseuy and Chinese Prawn Tempura were all good..

Hanpao Teahouse is an undiscovered Chinese restaurant, tucked away in Shaw Blvd. It passed my picky Chinese food standards, so I'll definitely recommend this place to my family.

🥛 Warm Milk Pudding: This dessert gets its inspiration from the milk puddings of Hong Kong, with its nice silken texture and just the right amount of sweetness. I love this dessert because it brings back memories of late night snacking, back when I was still living in Causeway Bay. Plus, this isn't something you'd usually find in Chinese restaurants here in the Philippines, which makes it all the more unique!

🌶 Mapo Tofu: unlike the usual Mapo tofus I've tried, which taste like pure fire, this version incorporates sour black vinegar flavors, mixed with a mild heat. It includes diced pieces of silken tofu, mushrooms, peas and ground pork with a light peppering of sliced chili. My only concern: it could do without the peas. But taste-wise, I love it.

🦐 Stuffed Beancurd: slices of beancurd are deep fried and stuffed with shrimp in this dish. It comes in a sticky sauce to add some saltiness to it, along with some blanched veggies. The firm texture of the beancurd, and flavors that come alive with the sauce are what I like in this dish.

🥗 Chopsuey: steamed vegetables is something I enjoy because I reminds me of home. It's a mix of baby corn, cabbage, pork and mushroom that are simmered in a simple soy sauce til everything is nice and tender.

🥟 Fried Shrimp Wonton: my standards for deep fried wonton aren't that high. All I ask is for a crisp texture and for people to use new oil when frying. Thankfully here, the wontons pass with flying colors. They were delicious! Dip it in their homemade sweet and sour sauce so the flavor comes alive in your mouth.

🍜 Hanpao Noodle Feast: now this is the highlight among all their dishes. It's a sharing platter filled with springy rice noodles, topped with a variety of meats to choose from: spicy pork, braised beef, steamed dumplings and even chicken! Remember to mix it together with the sticky sweet sauce it comes with. Try the spicy pork— it's my favorite of them all.

🍃 Minced Pork with Lettuce: this one's another favorite of mine because it uses my all time favorite Chinese sauce— hoisin! Pork, veggies and mushroom are cooked in this sauce, then topped on a crisp lettuce leaf. It's a flavor bomb to die for. Seriously.

My recommendation: drop by during teatime, from 2-5pm. They sell their dimsum at 20% off!

Fun fact: Hanpao is the commissary of Kimpo, a Chinese restaurant in Banawe. ❤️

Thank you Seems LegEAT and Hanpao Teahouse for the invite!

I can not believe there is a gem of a place  that can satisfy our dim sum craving so near the abode.

Plump, generously stuffed and delicious dimsum  with price points so kind on the pocket...

Sudden cravings for hot soup led me here. Upon reading good reviews, I didn't hestitate anymore...and this is the only chinese restaurant in the area (I think).

We were looking for a Chinese/Japanese restaurant near Puregold then we saw this place. At first we were hesitant because I don’t know the restaurant, but we still tried.

We were welcomed by the staff, and dimsum were offered to us. We chose from their cart. They also gave us tea. Very fast and accommodating.

We ordered:

California maki: the rice is a little soggy, wasabi isn’t that spicy. Needs a little improvement.

Chao fan rice: not that hot when served, but tasty.

Hakao/shrimp dimsum, chicken feet, and Tao Pey Roll: delicious. Period.

Will defined come back for more.

My family and I have been ordering from Han Pao since early 20's and Han Pao is our go-to whenever we're craving for Chinese food.

We always order: Hacao, Seafood Hofan, Crispy Chicken, Yang Chow Fried Rice, Sea King Roll, Chicken Feet, Han Pao Noodle Feast, Hot Shrimp Salad, i forgot the name of the soup but it's color green and has bits of seafood, ampalaya with beancurd, and their spareribs!

My family and I are loyal customers to Han Pao and they deliver food to our place when we're lazy to go them! :)

Hubby and I used to hang out here a lot when I was still working in Mandaluyong. It was one of the few restaurants that were open late and served good grub. As it turns out our friends know of this place and dine here whenever they are in the area. We met up for dinner here before going to a wine bar nearby.

Our friends ordered most of the dishes so I wasn't able to catch all of their names. We had Yang Chow, Chicken Feet, a cold cuts platter, dimsum and other dishes. I really liked the Taro Puff and the Salt & Pepper Garlic Squid which were quite addicting. The squid was fresh and soft. The Shrimp Ampalaya had a bitter kick but quite manageable. The Kutchay Dumpling was ok but the wrapper stuck to the container. I couldn't pick it up with just chopsticks. The meal was great and was even more enjoyable because of the company.

*a dimsum cart is pushed around, if you want something that isn't there they can make it for you.

Han Pao!!! Growing up in Banawe, I used to go to their branch there. Sadly, their branch their closed and was rebranded to Lam Tin. Anyways, I was surprised to find them in Mandaluyong! Ordered their salt and pepper squid, taro puff and sweet and sour fish. What I really like about them is that they serve very affordable and good chinese food.

For me, it's a decent Chinese restaurant offering wide variety of food. They offer unlimited yang chow fried rice so you'll really get full even if you just ordered one main dish. Anyway, the unlimited yang chow is not bad.
