Selection is varied and lots of nice different takes on the usual chinese dishes. The egg yolk pao is to die for. Could not get enough of it even though I was already so full. Will have more of it on our next visit. The discount promo is a welcome treat for late and hang out eaters.
Causeway congressional branch is my favorite Chinese seafood restaurant every now and then, The staff are very accommodating that's why I keep coming back to that place.

My husband, our friends and I planned to go elsewhere for dinner, but instead, we tried this busy-looking corner restaurant in Banawe. It was “love at first taste” for us.
There are hundreds of Cantonese restaurants in Metro-Manila, but somehow, Causeway Seafood Restaurant has tastier dishes presented attractively and the restaurant’s ambiance wasn’t bad either. (I’m used to Ongpin’s hole-in-the wall, no frill cafes in Binondo.)
It was our first time in Causeway and we didn’t expect to be served authentic Cantonese cuisine. Fortunately, the universe seemed to have conspired for us! We immediately fell in love with the appetizers, a siomai-like creation with diced shrimp & broccoli, and soft bean curd filled with minced pork. After tasting those two dim sum, we wanted to order more, but we had five main dishes yet! The stewed beef served in a white porcelain bowl with a warmer was the best I’ve tasted in Manila, maybe in all of Asia! The spices, the tenderness of the marbled beef and the tangy radish were to die for! The grilled squid was so good we had to hurry to get our share before my husband ate it all. The yang chow fried rice was different and I can’t quite tell why... Maybe it was the way the rice was cooked and seasoned, or because Causeway used some smaller-grain jasmine rice, but it was very good. The pancit canton (egg noodles) was their specialty - it had more “sauce” than those we ate at UNO, Emerald, Tao Yuan, etc. and it was good too. The most expensive dish we ordered, a cold mixed plate of duck, white chicken, crispy pork belly and BBQ pork was as expected, nothing to rave about...
I know we’ll be back again - they have 50% off dim sum promos from 2-6 & 9-12 pm, and we’ll try their other seafood offerings! Apparently, Causeway started with the Banawe branch 21 years ago, and now have 5 restaurants in Quezon City. With the authentic cuisine, the ambiance and the attentive service, it’s easy to see why they have managed to stay on top of the game for more than two decades.

This is a family tradition to eat here. They serve no frills traditional chinese dishes you will not get tired of. They have updated their interiors and now have a more moden look, but still undeniably chinese. Staff is friendly and very efficient. Parking can be a problem, come early
Great food, great service. Loved the cold cuts platter. Servings are good for 3-4 people. It's basically an upgraded version of the restos in Binondo in terms of ambiance, service, and plating.

February 4, 2019, the night prior to the Chinese New Year. I made early appointment to ensure that myself, wife and daughter would be accommodated (Chinese restos in Banawe are always full during the Chinese New Year!). I was immediately accommodated, expecting my company to arrive at 8pm, I was there at a quarter before 7pm. They took my orders that I had chosen from the menu available at the Zomato app. The waitress appeared surprised: does Causeway management know that Zomato exists? Consequently I ordered: assorted cold cuts, boiled beef with special sauce, salt and pepper squid, Halaan taosi, Ma Chang, Safood Taro puff and Spring Roll. For the price of Php 480 (small), the cold cuts were worth it because the portions for asado pork, soy chicken, roast liempo, seaweed were substantial--there was even a chopped leg of roast duck (first time I expereinced this in Causeway!). The breading of the salt and pepper squid just fell off--needs improvement. Halaan taosi (nylon shell in taosi) was excellent. The dish I consider a failure was the boiled beef with special sauce: I had to spit out the following seeds: coriander, wollfian berry, star anise, pepper seeds, etc... I wrote a complaint to the management that they should not include all the seeds and serve the soup with it... customer could choke! the soup could have been delicious...a waste of compliment...Service was nonetheless courteous and prompt, thus completing my celebration of the year of the earth pig.
Causeway is the ultimate comfort food, and a mainstay at Banawe. My mom. Had an upset stomach so she was craving for congee, as such, we ended up at Causeway
While here, we ordered:
- Fish fillet congee: good value for money at PHP 155. Their congee is always a good choice, regardless of which condiment you choose
- Mapo tofu: we got the small size at PHP 310. A bit steep, but the serving size is pretty big. We struggled to finish it between the two of us
- Beef Chinese tenderloin style: this is served sweet and I love it BUT it was ridiculously pricey at PHP 380. For that price, you basically for 5 pcs of beef which is just sad
Overall, will come back. But probably after 9pm so we can avail of the dinsum
Hands down, the best Chinese restaurant I've been in Metro Manila. Food is authentic, very good and most of all price is reasonable compared to other Chinese food chains/ restaurants.
Will definitely come back when we're in the area!
Absolutely a 5-star quality restaurant! Not only where food is good, but the staff and crew were so cheerful and attended to our every requests.
I recommend this restaurant if you are in search for authentic chinese food experience.
Definitely coming back for more... two thumbs up!
All time favorite dimsum place! The best siomai, and spare ribs! Grew up loving this place, family go to, introduced by my Father where I inherited the love for food. He would eat here early in the morning and I will wake up with siomai and congee, and sometimes with chicken feet at the table as his usual take aways. Miss the old days! Just introduced this now to my love and will introduce this to my 1 year old niece soon and to my future kids.☺️ We tried beancurd too, and it has became one of my fave.
