Reviews Luyong Restaurant

Best pancit and camaron this side of town. One of my favorite restaurants in Marikina.

When you go to Marikina City, Philippines, remember LUYONG.

Best Panciteria for hubby and me! Default orders are hototay soup (still trying to find a place that serves this better because for us no one can beat Luyong’s Hototay soup yet!) and their lumpia shanghai (same with this, haven’t found anyone who can do lumpia shanghai better)!

Their pancit or noodles are good, surprisingly tasty despite not too much soy sauce (I’m just assuming since they serve this with light colored as opposed to some establishment serving this dark because of soy sauce).

Ampalaya con carne is a bit on the bitter side but works ok for me, sauce is tasty as well.

We’re from Paranaque but whenever we are in the East area, we try to drop by Luyong specially when we’re craving and missing their dishes. Nothing beats the classics!

A bit of a disappointment. Went there 1pm to try the famous lumpiang Shanghai only to be told that it's not available anymore. Considering it's a Sunday, they should have anticipated the lunch crowd. Ordered pansit canton con lechon, it was a bit too salty for my taste. Will try to come back one more time for that lumpiang Shanghai.

I love Luyong. I love their crews, their food and their place. So far, lahat naman ng inoorder namin masarap. Though this specific branch of Luyong is less when it comes to place compared sa other branches ng Luyong like in Concepcion. Pero it's a must-try. 👍🏻

We had our lunch here one time with the whole family. A famous pancitan in marikina. I love their pancit canton. It comes with bog serving a lot of toppings. I also loved their lumapiang shanghai here. Very flavorful and meaty. A mus try resto in marikina.

I love their pansit with lechon, lumpiang shang hai and chop suey. Their restaurants are spacious where you can hold birthday celebrations or wedding receptions. Over the years Luyong's menu has grown which includes a wide selection of dishes to make your dining experience even more memorable. If you want to treat yourself, this is perfect spot for you.

Luyong made a great reputation in culinary industry in marikina. One of the huge institution that stays delicious and strong despite of the high competition.

I think every Marikeño knows Luyong. It's a go-to for simple birthday, baptismal, and graduation celebrations. But we, in Marikina, go here just to dine even without occasions. The price is just right and you'll definitely not go home unsatisfied. You can never go wrong with their Hototay Guisado, Pancit, and Lumpiang Shanghai.

I've been going here for more than 2 decades now. I've tried a lot of pancit canton restaurants, I've even google the top 10 pancit canton in Metro Manila and went there to all of them. From Quezon city to Quiapo, even in Malabon. Luyong  is still on top of my list for best pancit canton. You have to order "special pancit canton with lechon". Without the lechon, its still good but not the same. Under rated restaurant. Highly recommended. Price is medial.

During a "joy ride" around Marikina (it had been raining and was cold, and we were pretty shallow), my parents took us kids to Luyong at the insistence that we not eat at another place run by mascots. Being the fast food lover that I was (and still am), I was naturally disappointed when our original plan to grab a bite at the Golden Arches was changed to a visit to this place I've never heard of that served grown-up food (as I liked to refer to anything that didn't resemble pizza or a burger). I remember actually thinking "(fast food place) na, naging bato pa," as my sisters and I tromped into Luyong.

Luyong's menu consisted of Chinese dishes common to every Filipino family. At least there's something I can eat here, I thought as my parents placed orders of food that we kids recognized so they know we'd eat them.

A few minutes of waiting and our tables were loaded with serving dishes filled with food that at least smelled awesome. Okay, so things are looking up, I decided as I cased the spread in front of me. I took a little bit of everything and commenced tasting them. And boy, was my initial disappointment replaced with pure joy.

The yang chow rice was the epitome of the expression "kanin pa lang, ulam na": fragrant and filling with bits of egg, vegetables, pork and shrimp. A plate of lumpiang shanghai was enough to feed two or three people (okay, one, if you're that hungry), and was crispy and cooked to golden brown perfection. The fried chicken? As satisfying to a kid as fried chicken can be. Forgive me for not sampling all the other dishes; I was a kid in uncharted territory, remember?

What I liked most about Luyong was how comfortably homey the food was. Sure, some form of the food in their menu are probably congealing in your fridge as we speak, but on a day when you're out and don't feel like cooking and want something familiar, it's definitely a welcome feeling. The place itself is clean enough, with a friendly wait staff always nearby. And the food is worth every centavo you pay for it.

Now I look back with fondness at that day, chuckling at my naiveté about food and how it can actually be more than the kind you get in styro boxes or paper cups. It's also amazing to realize that some of the best foods have yet to be pulled into the spotlight, as many common and overrated establishments have these days. To me, these realizations came when I visited this little, relatively unknown restaurant tucked away in Marikina.
