Sipa (deep-fried pork dumplings), sweet chili prawns, embutido (Filipino-Spanish sausage).
So lucky that the head Chef/ owner of this restaurant, Chef Jay Obsequio is a good friend of the person that I was with, and upon chatting with him, realized that he was good friends too with some of my colleagues at work; he entertained us very well and was so nice to give us a generous discount. Perks. Small world lol.
Onto the food. Their specialties are stuffed squid and sipa. Wasn't able to try the squid as it was already sold out when we came in. So sipa--I've tried lots of fried dumplings before but this one was especially good. The wrapper was thin and with the perfect amount of crisp; the pork filling was tasty and with a distinct vinegary taste. A real must-try. The sweet chili prawns have a very good sauce, just bummed out that the prawns were a little overcooked. The embutido was really good too, packed with flavor. And their "special sauce" was special for a reason. Over all, good restaurant and affordable too.
Introduced the family to this classic hole-in-the-wall chinese restaurant that used to have other branches in the metro but now is only located in this area. They don't have a menu so you would have to get help from their personnel. Ordered several dishes plus 4 cups of white rice and it only cost me just a little over a thousand pesos which greatly surprised the wifey. She said that given the taste and quantity of the food we ordered it was well worth looking for this place.
My favorite here is their sipa and garlic rice. They are also famous for their stuffed squid. We also tried their spareribs and kikiam but it was just average.

Wok Inn became my favorite Chinese go-to! Sort of pricey for its ambiance but the food is worth it!
Try their bestsellers: the squid and sipa!
It's a restaurant that you can bring your family and friends to enjoy a great meal, everyday! Nothing fancybut the food is like having a home cooked meal. No strong msg taste. Their sipa is definitely something to come back. Their dipping sauce is super... you want to drink it instead. The stuffed squid is deliciously unique. Service is fast except during rush hours.
No menu so if it is your first time you may feel uneasy since you have no selection - over all good food and affordable. Downside will be the restroom.
This has been our go-to place ever since whenever we're in Manila. It's an eat & run kind of place and you will always leave feeling satisfied. We always order their sipa, buttered chicken, mixed veggies, salt & pepper spareribs, crispy shrimp & stuffed squid---never fails!
This is a great, no-fuss Chinese restaurant that's way worth the money you spend here. My mom brought us here since she used to go here a lot with my dad when they were in residency training. 🤗
The place is pretty simple, which is probably one of the things people like. There's no air conditioner and it's almost a carinderia-style place. It's probably that kind of ambiance that keeps them going back that's why this restaurant still stands. We ordered the stuffed squid, the scallops in chili sauce, yang chow fried rice and their famous 'sipa' dumplings. I have to say I am very impressed with the flavors. My favorites were definitely the sipa and the stuffed squid. The sipa already looks so adorable and they do not skimp on the meat inside. ❤️ the stuffed squid has this nice, sweet, but savory flavor. I can't really describe it too much but it was heavenly on the palate. 😍

I've been going to this place ever since I was a kid, and I never get tired of it. My faves are the sipa, stuffed squid and buttered chicken. The food is seasoned really well, and is served piping hot. The interiors of the place remind me of home, and of my lolo, since this was his fave resto. Will always keep coming back here.
I thought of having brunch here today so I could have my clam soup. I got here before 11am. Had my usual sipa, clam soup, stuffed squid, fried shrimp and yang chow fried rice. Everything tastes the same. Straight forward no fancy style of cooking. I only spent Php 840 for everything. The staff has always been very accommodating and friendly.
