Most of the food tasted good and was still hot when it was delivered. Small portions though, its not really enough for sharing. The crab meat rice and lechon macau was both very dry and seemed like it was not cooked fresh, only reheated.
Just like the old times....
Binondo Mami: malasa ung soup, malambot ung asado and chicken. Masarap din ung siomai and noodles. Sobrang sakto ung timpla perfect kapag nilagyan nang chili sauce.
Pinsec prito: favorite ko ung pinsec prito nila kasi madaming balat.
For price sulit naman sya kasi malaki ung servings. Pwede dalawsng tao dun sa binondo mami.
Ambience: ok naman malinis ang dining area, malinis din ang cr. Walang amoy mabaho.
staff: maasikaso at mabilis ang serving time.
Babalik ako dito for sure. Kasi ung pumunta ko dito kopi tiam ang name pero wala sila available coffee that time. Hehe!
Our family celebrated my uncle's birthday here.
The food : they are all fantastic!
Ambience and place : it looks like it's a small place outside but once you're inside it's not.
I personally loved sweet and sour pork 😍😍😍
Yum yum yum yum. If you like North Park, you’ll like this place. Food is the same. I can’t tell the difference except the interiors are warmer and more inviting because of the wooden tables and chairs versus the metal tables usually found in North Park.

Honestly I cannot tell the difference between North Park and Kopi Tiam. It’s because I order the same thing probably. Salt and Pepper Squid, Lechon Macau, Fresh Lemonade are still my top picks. Parking is available here

This cozy resto in New Manila is actually known for offering affordable versions from the original North Park menu. We recently welcomed my parents home with a sumptuous dinner in Kopi Tiam. The place is located along C. Benitez Street, past Camp Crame from EDSA. The part of Boni Serrano leading to this place was pretty dark and I had my doubts on whether we were in the right location. Fortunately, Hubby chanced upon the signage and we were soon assisted by a friendly security guard into our parking space.
When we asked mom and lola what they wanted for dinner, they said lugaw. We were in the area so I suggested Kopi Tiam by North Park. It was everybody's first time here. The place looked like a house that was converted into a restaurant. The interiors were similar to North Park's but there was a display of desserts, cupcakes, brownies, cookies, savory buns and assorted breads for take home.
On the table
🔹Fried Noodles - a giant dish of crispy noodles with the sahog in the middle. It was quite hard to mix and we really appreciated that the server offered to toss it for us. We were amazed at how she was able to mix everything without making a huge mess. The dish was as good as I remembered from our North Park visits. The portion was so huge we took some of it home.
🔹Pinsec Frito
🔹Siomai
🔹Shredded Pork w/ Century Egg Congee
🔹Chicken w/ 3 Kinds of Mushroom
The Congee were served in black bowls that kept them warm throughout the meal. The eggs were served on the side. Mom and Lola were happy with their orders. The Congee tasted really good. The Pinsec Frito and Siomai were delicious too.
I bet we'll be back for our North Park cravings in case we're in the area. I would love to try the other non-North Park dishes too and maybe bring home some of those breads and desserts.
Kopi Tiam had a familiar feel to it when I first tried their food. I didn't know at the time that it was a NP expansion of sorts. I had the laksa as a late lunch/merienda and I think it could have been better. I meam it was good but I was expecting it to be creamier and less like a base soup with curry. I'm hoping to try their other menu items with the family on my next visit.
It’s a go to place after events we do in the area of Cubao or San Juan. It does have a signature kick of North Park and adds up with other Asian dishes. Binondo Mami for one is a favorite every time. It has a mild soup mixed with soft noodles, dimsum and fish. The taste has so much flavor in every slurp. Another must have is their fresh lumpia for only Php 130. It has generous portion of veggies wrapped in goodness.
