We enjoy the food.The service was fast and efficient. It was recommended by Officet Cruz of Manila Police District and it was worth it. Thank you.
Always my breakfast hangout...good food good price and good service���
Really nice service and friendly staff, the food is also very delicious, I highly recommend their brocolli with ginger in osyter sauce, and their curry chicken rice is also very sumptuous. You'll surely crave for more.
hakaw - 90php for 4 pieces (the best hakaw!)
Shao long bao - 85php for 4 pieces (there's no soup, but it's tasty)
Seafood noodle - 200php good for 2 or 3. (Very delicious! Highly recommended!)
Didn't take a photo of the place as it's not aesthetically good, but if you are used to Binondo restaurants, the place will not bother you.
Gong Xi Fa Cai!

In celebration of Chinese New Year, I've tried Ying Ying restaurant last Wednesday and here are my thoughts.
.
Hakaw- Definitely one of my Fave dimsum. Juicy and delicious but you must eat it fast because it easily gets cold after. A must try for yourself! Rate: 9/10, Php90 for 4 pieces.
.
Yang chow rice- I think one of the best I've tried. Not too oily and greasy. I can eat it even without any viand. Rate: 10/10, Php100.
.
Lastly the lemon chicken. I am actually disappointed with this because I find the chicken hard to chew. But the lemon sauce is actually good. I just regret that I have choose white chicken instead. Rate: 6/10, Php280.
.
The service is actually good but if you want a nice ambiance then this place might not be for you. The crew and staff are attentive and courteous.
.
Again Happy Chinese new year! #cny2020

Tucked away in the cross cross of Manila, this Chinese tea house restaurant serves authentic Chinese food. You will feel the deep history of the entire restaurant. Food is good and service is good as well. The interior is very old Binondo type restaurant and very old Chinese Manila
Smol Girl and her Big Boi celebrate their anniversary every June 1.
For 2019, the day also meant that we had about a year left before the wedding.
While we need to tighten the belt and beef up the savings, it doesn’t mean that we can’t celebrate.
After spending time in the National Planetarium and the National Museum of Natural History (which are all for FREE and IG-worthy, btw) we went to the place where PHP 1,000 can go a long way: Binondo!
We have been visiting Binondo every now and then for their food crawls but for this run, we decided to try Ying Ying Tea House Official for lunch. The overall spend? Just PHP 1,010 for all the food ordered (total of 6 dishes)!!
So, did Ying Ying’s Tea House make the our budget anniversary date worth it?
1. Cold Cuts (PHP 160)
Asado + Lechon Kawali + Soy Chicken + Jellyfish + Century Egg. Smol Girl loved everything off this sampler plate which is already good for sharing. Also, the refreshing scallion side helps cleanse the palate after each bite. Best of all? It’s super affordable!
2. Yang Chow Fried Rice (PHP 180)
Smol Girl’s go-to rice in Chinese restos. For only P180, this one is already good for 2-3 people and has lots of shrimps and flavored just right!
3. Lemon Chicken (PHP 260)
The sweet and tangy flavor perfectly complements the fried rice. It can be a bit tough though as it gets cold so better eat it fast as soon as it’s served on your table!
4. Hakaw (PHP 80)
Tastes fresh and the wrapper chewiness is great. Works well with the dipping sauce we made: combination of black vinegar, soy sauce, and chilli.
5. Fried Squid Salt and Chili (PHP 260)
Another classic. The squid is cooked just right. Not too soft and not rubbery at all. The vinegar it’s served with also has the right taste: not too strong that it overpowers everything.
6. Taro Puff (PHP 70)
Crisp surface with a soft, meaty, and flavorful filling.
Can be eaten on its own or with your own dipping sauce concoction.
Ying Ying’s Tea House is straightforward and definitely a classic. It is a very good choice for budget dates or even just eat-out on regular days.
We will definitely be back to try other items off the menu! 😊👍🏻
Exploring Binondo has brought us to Ying Ying Tea House which was recommended to me by my friend, Mark (Eatsplorations.com). What I love about this place is that they serve Chinese food with a good serving size for its price.
Very good value for price. It can get hectic at times because of the large groups of people who come to Ying Ying for lunch, but as long as you come early, it won't be too much of a problem.
Recommended items are: Hakaw (Most of the dimsum, actually), Salt & Pepper Squid, and Beef Brisket Mami.
We went on an unexpected Binondo Trip and had lunch at Ying Ying Tea House. It was actually the second time I ate at the place. Although it is situated in the busy streets of Binondo, the restaurant is known to be one of the best chinese restaurants in Town.
Lechon Kawali Asado - 3/5
Hakao - 5/5
Siomai - 3/5
Mami - 3/5
Xiao Long Bao - 1/5
The food was ok... but it lacks something. The worst was the Xiao Long Bao, it didn’t have the usual soup inside and it just looked like a siomai. Also, the place was kind of tidy. Overall, usual chinese food experience.
So we planned to visit old/famous restaus in Manila and Ying Ying Teahouse is always on the top 10 list on every blogs. There was a waiting line when we arrived but since we were only 2, we opted to share tables instead so we were served immediately. Their menu is really affordable & you can really say that price is worth it on each item. The serving is fast paced too so you wont wait for long. Highly recommend their dimsums, radish cake & fresh lemonade. Only downside is their parking. They dont have a designated parking so you may have too go back & forth waiting for your turn. It was a weekend when we went so it wasnt much of a hassle. Cant imagine how it would be during weekdays with traffic and all. Still a must try for experience!
We dine here around 7:30 PM it's not that spacious. Medyo mausok. Cheaper prices? Yes compare sa ibang chinese restaurants nearby. Very affordable naman 'yung mga food and some of the staff are not accomodating. Free hot tea - served before meal.
