My siblings really love their sisig here. All the food they serve are vegetarian so you don't feel bad eating sisig here as many as you want. 😂
Again, hear me out. Giving this a 5.0 because I am comparing it with its own class of veggie places. This place is a winner!
This time, we had take out of their fried rice, sisig, bicol express, barbecue, oyster cake, and radish cake. Everything was amazing.
Sisig was tasty just like your normal pig face. The calamansi and savory kick was there, although I could taste the mayo here, they could mellow it down. But still, this was yummy.
Bicol express was really ma-gata and spicy. It wasn’t the most savory dish, but if you’re looking for a much healthy alternate that is filling, this is a good choice.
Radish cake was crunchy! Well, all radish cakes taste the same naman. We had their fried lumpia as well before and it was crunchy and delicious inside out.
I’d invite you to give this place a try. You won’t regret it, especially if you’re into veggie meat options!
One of my go to places to eat breakfast to when in Ongpin. Usually order their vegetarian kiampung, and two side dishes. Price is reasonable. Between 180 to 250 php. Sometimes though there will be a long queue as there will be times when a lot of elderly Chinese titas are also getting their take outs
This is a carinderia-type vegetarian/vegan restaurant - many choices and very affordable. Veggie sisig and veggie bbq are a must-try! They also have a mini grocery store where frozen veggie meats and dumplings, dried veggie meat, vegan condiments are sold.
Classic carinderia / cafeteria Tsinoy style, vegetarian food.Old school eatery which I'm a big fan,tasty dishes very affordable prices.I ordered the 120 for 3 with rice and the vegetarian makee.The makee was impressive it's like the original pork dish ,I love their eggplant in sour sauce.They also have unlimited free house tea.This is an iconic place that shouldn't be missed.
This resto have been around for long but the taste is still the same. A nice resto for vegetarians and veggie lovers. I recommend the 3 in 1, it comes with 3 viand with the choice of plain rice or kiampong. A nice meal that is within the budget.
We found ourselves in Binondo a few weeks back and ordered afternoon merienda after zigzagging around the neighborhood. We were knackered. We were also too full to have a real vegetarian meal, so we had a peanut soup and their version of guinataan, which threw in some squash as well as the usual tubers and sticky rice balls into the coconut milk soup.
It is a cafeteria style restaurant that has moved from the more obscure end of the block to a prime corner facing Ongpin St, so this is much easier to find.
As a sign of respect, my good friend Dennis advises not to bring in any meat products, as Quan Yin is Buddhist vegetarian. It's a good tip.
We will happily revise this review after our next visit. A full Quan Yin vegetarian meal is not far away from happening.

Quan Yin Chay is a vegetarian restaurant and has been a favorite since my childhood days. Its original branch is located along Soler st before moving to Masangkay, and now at Ongpin St.
My mom offers to the gods some days of the month and this is where she gets all the vegetarian dishes she needs. Lately, this has been the only times we have the opportunity to eat their dishes.
Quan Yin Chay offers a ton of dishes from real vegetables to mock meats to snacks both Filipino and Chinese. They try to reinvent local favorites into vegetarian versions. Some dishes I like are: sisig, menudo, afritada, and sweet and sour pork. I also love theur fried lumpia, barbecue, and raddish cake which can be sold per piece. They also serve Fresh Lumpia, but theirs is more wet.
I like their offers better than other vegetarian restos because of the wide array of choices and the unsatiated tastes. Try to visit them and remember not to bring any meat inside to respect their religion and rules.
I miss this place. I have tasted most of the dishes and indi nakakasawa. You also get big servings when you buy take out near closing time which is really really great! The only thing is it's far from where I live :(
This place remains as my absolute favorite veggie restaurant in Manila. I love their dimsum fare most especially, as with their noodle dishes. They've transferred to a new location just a stone's throw away from their former location, more prominent and smack along Ongpin St.
Cafeteria style, homey, unpretentious. Odd vegetarian palabok, but otherwise dishes are tasty. Scant menus detail non-contemporary vegan fare, and it would be helpful if someone in your group spoke Chinese.
