This is already my third visit with the Family.
I'd say I enjoyed this very recent visit than the previous ones.
Dimsum and Japanese food are what I ate the most. The steamed Dory is remarkable. It's like I haven't tasted fresh Fish Meat in a very long time. Sarap!
Halo Halo and Soda plus the fruits made me really full. Worth paying the lowest Buffet price per head.
We had Lunch Buffet at this establishment and I can say that they were able to meet our expectations.
They have many choices to choose from authentic Chinese Cuisine, Japanese, and Korean dishes. They also have a Pasta Bar where you can select ingredients for your own Pasta dish that they'll cook onset.
They have good Sweet and Sour Pork that talors to the Filipino palette, Lechon Macau, and Roasted Pork.
They also have a Dessert Station where you can create your Halo-Halo, and an Ice Cream station.
The service of the crew is good since they were accomodating and easy to get their attention if you want to have your tables get buzzed.
The place is good for family gatherings and other special occassions. They can also cater to company gatherings, debuts, weddings, and other events.
They serve good food. Tasted almost like authentic chinese food. My fave was the Hakaw!! So definitely worth the price. The place wasn’t really instagrammable definitely need a renovation.
Always a great dining experience with Chinatown’s Best Food! The tenderness of meat, the freshness of seafood, and, of course, the flavors are so on point! I just love this restaurant. Kudos to the staff!
We booked here for my mom's birthday. I had the confirmation after a few minutes. We were provided a table inside the VIP area which was nice because outside was a bit crowded. There were several food choices (buffet) and the refill was quick. Servers were attentive. There's nothing special with the food but they're not bad either. I hope they would improve their japchae because it tasted bland.
Been going here since I was young and even had our wedding reception here, the food was great and all the guest loved it. They have affordable packages for all occasions and I’m planning on having my son’s first birthday here. The staff and the management were so attentive with our needs. Keep up the good job!!!

I always look forward to the crabs and sashimi. Great place with numerous choices.
Staff are helpful and courteous. Price is good value. Will always come back.
Dined here for an event. Their servings are huge! Everything was delicious and satisfying. My only issue was that service was a bit slow and calling the attention of servers was a bit difficult because we were on the third floor function room and there were times when there was no server on standby. Parking could also be a hassle esp. during peak hours.
Initially I felt disappointed kasi hindi ako makapagbook ng table online then I realized father's day pala so given na marami ang taong pwedeng nagbu-book sa knila. We got there around 6pm (medyo late). Mabilis lang naman pala ang line nila for walk-in clients. They have quite plenty of food may pila nga lang sa crab at sashimi. Food was great medyo matagal lang magrefill ng ibang viands especially hakaw (which my daughter loves to eat). Siguro kelangan lang nila mag add ng staff kapag holiday.
Food 3/5 :
The food is very delicious. It is a mix of Filipino, Chinese, Japanese, American foods. The only thing that I noticed is that they took a long time to restock the foods. Specially the Salmon Sashimi, Tempura and Crabs.
Place 3/5 : the place is good. Their toilet is clean.
Service 4/5 : the waiters are easy to call and they are polite.
Price 5/5: Is the price worth it? YES it is!
Highly recommended!
LATE REVIEW!
This restaurant also offers buffet, so when we arrived at the place there's a lot of people. But the place is still well organize and has good service. We ordered Fish fillet in sweet and sour sauce and bihon guisado.
●Fish Fillet⭐⭐⭐⭐- Its good, good enough serving.
●Bihon Guisado⭐⭐⭐- The taste is Okay and good for sharing.
We'll comeback to try their buffet.
Parking: Yes, in front of the resto
Ambiance: Typical resto, Airconditioned, long table wih couch, well lit
Menu: Chinese
Food: Everything’s Legit, malinamnam from dimsum, rice meals to dessert
Serving Size : For family or 3
Serving Time : 15 to 20 minutes
Crew: very accomodating
Price: 800 to 1000 good for 3 (Soup, Rice, vegetable and main dish plus dessert or drinks)
Overall: Deliciously satisfying
Others: they offer eat all you can buffet at 2nd floor but pricey dishes are similar to tramway and nice party venue / function room at 3rd floor
Let’s admit it. We Filipinos love Chinese food! It has simply become a staple in Filipino cuisine. It’s delicious, affordable and different. Chinatown’s Best Food perfectly represents those words. Situated in Banawe, Quezon city. Chinatown’s Best Food is unlike any other traditional chinese restaurant. Immediately upon entering the establishment you will notice the difference between it and many other Chinese restaurants.
They have limited choices but all are sooo good. I love their take on our usual fave dimsum like hakaw, spring rollsand siomai; tempura and the variety of cold cuts available❤️ I lovethe ox tongue, prawn and crabs. Medyo malayo samin but okay lang.... worth it talaga

This resto has a lot to offer aside from their ala carte dining, they also have buffet area where you can indulge on their best authentic Chinese cuisine.. plus you can have formal dining.
Food (4/5)
Appetizers
Appetizers are great and my favorite is the "Cold Shrimp Salad", chilled poached shrimps combined with imported fruit cocktail dressed with mayonnaise. What's great and unique which can also be uniquely served as dessert. Also, try their Spinach Seafood Soup, which is served hot despite the room was highly air-conditioned.
Main Course
My recommendable dishes are their "Birthday Canton" where you can have it despite not having a birthday! This quintessential egg noodle dish is stir fried topped with sauteed veggies, shrimp, and pork. If you're a seafood lover, you'll definitely like it here my personal picks are their Fried Seafod Roll, mixture of kani crabsticks, poached shrimps, squid and fish with sweet mayo dressing wrapped in rice paper and their Steamed Fish Fillet with Garlic Sauce.
Service (4/5)
Staff were accommodating to your needs. They also have a good number of staff where you don't have to worry whether you're orders or requests will be missed out.

Ala Carte - ground floor
Been visiting Chinatown's Best Food, but have only tried first time some of their "Bests" last April 24, 2018.
Found it difficult to choose which one now is my favorite of the 10 Special Menu served to us. I liked the: 1) Minced Pork with Lettuce for its refreshing feel and balance, a perfect way to start any meal; 2) Spinach Seafood Soup for its healthy promise and delish taste; 3 & 4) Golden Shrimp Balls and Fried Seafood Roll - both crunchy and tasty. Fried, but not oily; 5) Stuffed Chicken was a treat!!! Its not the usual chicken preparation we always get; 6) Cold Shrimp Salad for its perfect blend of sweetness and a lil tangy taste; 7) Slow-Braised Porkleg "PATATIM" Chinatown's signature dish, I love the taste of the very fork tender meat; 8) Of course, my favorite Birthday Canton, another perfect mix of seafood, noodles, pork and veggies. For me, Birthday Canton is a complete meal.
Serving sizes in their Ala Carte are generous, shareable with family.
Will definitely come back for more.
If you don’t want to take a ride over to Binondo, finding great Chinese food in Quezon City can be a slog. As much as our city has to offer on almost every culinary front, the quality of our Chinese food could afford to expand, especially in the ‘tastiness’ department. But as this is still a big, diverse city, it would be impossible for us to not have some great stuff and sure enough, if you know where to look, you’ll find a few Chinese gems that keep even the most dedicated devotees happy–Enters Chinatown Best Food.
our family's favorite buffet resto :) classic chinese dishes with japanese dishes din. the last time i went, their lasagna was uncooked. staff is very approachable. sulit bayad always :)
If you want to taste Authentic Chinese cuisine with affordable price and take note - Buffet! Try Chinatown's Best food located in Banawe, Quezon City.
Buffet with different seafoods, vegetables and fruits on the side. What I loved most are Cold their Shirmp Salad that instead of the regular fruits shrimp is visible here.
Steam fish fillet with garlic sauce is one of the best ; aside from the fresh cook the garlic sauce is also home made.
Staff are very accomodating; ambiance is cozy and the surrounding is neat. Worth of your time and will visit this place for sure.

The unique and new:
Seafood roll with mayonnaise it's sweet and the flavors are tied together nicely. Fish isn't usually served this way but that makes it even better. It's the dish I ate the most and would love to come back for.
Seafood cold cuts featuring Jellyfish: The squid was very soft and the Jellyfish was an experience I could check off my bucket list but not something I would eat every day.
Crispy Shrimp Balls: I love the interesting geometric shape of these and the inside tastes just as good- crunchy and delish!
The fun fact:
This place has come a long way from the original mamehan it started as. From the small family business that found the need for quality filling food to the 3-floor restaurant it is today. The family still focuses on the need of it's customers- most especially the need to bring the best of Chinatown's food to Banawe (thus the name).
The oldies but goodies:
The Braised Patatim is exactly what they claim it to be. The meat was so soft and tender and you could really taste the flavors.
Birthday Noodles: I'm not a big noodle fan but I took 2 servings of this!
Spinach soup: I'm also not a soup fan but I just couldn't get enough of this soup! I know it was just meant to be an appetizer, and it really did its job.
Yangchow fried rice: What can I say? It never fails.
The final notes:
The food in general tasted great but in the middle of eating, some of the dishes just started to taste similar. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and i would want to come back to try out their buffet!
If you want to eat lots of crab and other seafood at affordable price chinatown best food is place to go.
I love their selection of roasting section. Create your own halo halo
Downside, limited dessert :(
Been here a couple of times but what i cant get out of my mind is their mouth watering roast beef. I dunno if it is always available or i was just lucky that time. The ala carte food is great but some of the buffet food needs improvement definitely coming back as always

Ever since we first visited Chinatown's Best Food on July 2014, it became one of our favorite buffet restaurants. And we visit Chinatown's Best at least one to two times a year. In their buffet, They have many plenty of foods (Chinese, Filipino and Japanese) that can be choosed. As time passed thru, they had added an ice cream in their buffet bar.
Nearly all of the foods in buffet bar are refillable on time once it is empty or almost empty except for the cooked crab. Their refilling of cooked Crabs is too limited but that's the only downside I have seen while almost the rest is almost perfectly ok.
By the way, we like to thank the in-charge (not sure it's a manager or supervisor) yesterday December 31, 2017 for allowing us to take three scoops of ice cream for my autism sister without charging since my sister didn't eat any other foods while we were there. And due to some unexpected concerns, the in-charge didn't hesitate to approach and apologize us and we really appreciated about that.
The bottom line is that we will surely go to Chinatown Best Food more in the future because their price of their buffet is reasonable. And it is highly recommended for special occasions such as birthday and wedding.

Big servings.
Nice staff.
They automatically refill your glass with water.
No WiFi
It would be better if they change the color scheme of the restaurant.
We were supposed to have a dinner at sumgyupsalamat but sobrang dami nakapila dun and medyo gutom na din, so we end up dito sa restaurant na to sa kabilang kanto lng kasi, anyway, i did love their buffet though hindi ganun ka sarap so-so lang pero hindi ka naman na lugi sa 588 na buffet nila, kasi they serves fried crabs, pero i didnt like it much coz mas gusto ko steam lang, sashimi ws fine and sushi too, lechon cebu was good too, chicken feet was fine pero parang maflour.. overall i like naman, i would recommend it sa mga tight budget pero gusto mag-unli shashimi.. hehe...

My first try of Chinatown's Best Food was in October 2017 and it was love at first bite!
Parking: This place has ample space for parking but if you visit on peak hours and/or a weekend (especially payday weekends) consider yourself in for a treat...not. 😬 At the time of our visit, the guard was courteous enough to assist us in finding parking space.
Ambience: Simple. Clean. Quite small but the place kind of reminds you of how buffet places in the 90s were...no frills, no pretend-luxury, just decent and presentable enough for family and friends to dine.
Food: There were highs and a few lows on my first visit. On with the highs would be their hakaw. HAKAW FOR HAPPINESS! Their hakaw was one of the best hakaws I've had in my almost thirty years of existence. Super sarap, nalinis nya ang kaluluwa ko! They also had good maki and sushi. And their tempura was sooo good. Perfect ratio of shrimp and batter. Their pork siomai was also good...it didn't smell weird or fishy like other siomai or dimsum. It was meaty and soft and had a hint of sweetness in it. I especially love their duck station. Super sarap and linis ng lasa.The steak was surprisingly good too. The only let down for me was their creamy garlic mahi mahi and the stuffed crab shell..shame. My tastebuds revolted. I've no words for it. Also, they had limited fruits when we visited. The redeeming factor really, is their hakaw and fried salted crabs. Ang dami kong sinabi but in short, I can't wait for my next food binge in Chinatown's Best Food!
PS. Wear loose clothing and ready your chew game because this place will literally put you to a food coma. 👍
This restaurant is a hidden gem for me.
We celebrate my son’s 1st bday here in chinatown’s best food. They served tasty foods. And the staffs are very accomodating, they allowed us to decorate our own dessert buffet that’s why the party of my son looks elegant. Thank you chinatown for making my son’s bday memorable :) 5 star for this resto
Service 5/5 ....Fast service
Ambiance 3/5
Food 3.5/5.... not bad. it was way better before
and Some chairs are broken ..................................
One of Rex' fave place to go. Not because its one of the nearest buffet resto on office but because the dishes here are so good. (Ps. The last time were here /Sales/ the chocolate fountains choc is not that mixed well because it contains bits of chocolate and its not nice) Overall, its good. :)
Thanks for helping us celebrate my grandmas birthday! Kudo's to all who served and assist us. The party went well even we have on the spot adjustment.
I super love the crabs and the prawn tempura. For me they are the star of the buffet table. The lechon macau and the pesto fish are amazimg too. And their leche flan is one of the best i tasted. ❤️
We celebrated my BFFs birthday here. We were in the second floor cos we had buffet. Their regular restaurant is in the first floor. Thier buffet set up is not the usual bfuffet that you are in viking or yakimix. For me it was homey. It looked like a huge kitchen in a huge house. It wasn't crowded for a Saturday night. They have a variety of Chinese foods to choose from. I didn't get to try them all, so I'll come back heehe. Must try is their tempura, patatim, hakaw, siomai, lechon Macau, butchie and leche flan.
The price of their buffetbis worth he money you paid for. Its affordable and will surely aatify your chinise food cravings any given Sunday. 😀😀😀😀

I thought I have written my review for this favorite Chinese Resto of mine. I have longed to dine back here again after almost like 11 years when my eldest graduated from elementary was the last time I did get to eat here for we now reside in Makati...
Order the Patatim, 🐷 Polonchay🍃🍜 soup, Fried chicken and Yang chow fried rice plus pansit . All that the pics that you see on this review is tremendously yummy. 💐💐💐
Price is right👌 Servers and staff our courteous even if we demand of a lot things as were hungry then when we had dinner here.😊
My go to buffet whenever I'm craving for tempura and hakao, at a budget friendly rate. Their Patatim is the best (tied with Emerald Garden), it's so tender and very tasty. Refilling of items are also fast. Overall food quality is good. Very attentive and efficient staffs. The place is well maintained.
Foods are great and authentic chinese style. Hinde tipid sa Buffet ng crabs and shrimps unlike other buffets ehem(yakimix) pag costly ang item matagal mag refill. parking are not a problem they have extra vacant lot. price is very reasonable.
Great food variety! They provide an over all package of dinning experience, nevertheless some foods are not fresh, thus, maybe it's just an isolated event. To sum up, I enjoyed every penny of what I have paid.
Mahilig ako sa buffet. Eto ang unang buffet na tinikman ko dto sa Manila. Kung my 5 times siguru na ako nakabalik dto. Binyag at bday ng anak ko dto namin na celebrate.
Masasarap ang foods! Ok ang price! The place and ambiance is great. Pero mas magndang mag pareserve ka ng table bago ka pumunta kasi pag walk in kalang matatagalan kapa mag wait hanggang sa my matapos kumain. Dami kasi kumakain jan..
Last call nila dinner 9pm. After that mga 9:30 ang di naubos na foods na nasa table nila nilalagay sa styro at benebenta nlng ng tig 50 pesos! Andami nun besh taz 50 lng. Paunahan nlang kau lalo na sa patatim! 💕👍🏼
We had our team dinner here last month, and it was easy getting a reservation (unlike other restos).
We opted for their buffet meal which costs around 600-700 per person at the second floor. They also have plated meals available at the first floor.
When we arrived at the resto, it kinda smells funky (at the first floor only) I don't know why.
They have a lot of variety of food served. Chinese, japanese, mongolian, filipino food, etc. My top picks were: Chami, Halo-halo, Leche flan, Peking duck wrap, and Hakaw
I've also noticed that their crab and tempura were the crowd's favorite since a lot of people are falling in line just to get them. However, for me both just tastes average.
Celebrated an event here with my folks and I have to say, their food is really worth your money. the crab, shrimp and salmon tastes great. You can have a variety of steamed fish. The dumplings, oh my glob! Don't get me started with their dumplings! I almost wrecked myself wanting to eat all of it!
The only problem is the parking though. We had to walk a bot farther to get back to were we parked.
Their buffet is really value for money. I should say their food tastes good. Service also good, their waiters are attentive. This resto is always packed during weekends. We have dined here a lot of times already and will still go back.
Upon friends' invitations I've been here several times. I found it a dining venue with great value for money. Best dishes to be tried are the Shrimp Tempura, Sweet Sour Pork, chocolate fountain, and other varied desserts. All the dishes are worth a taste. * * * * *
The best dito,this is a eat all you can buffet meal,the foods are worth it as in masarap siya,parang mas ok siya kesa sa yakimix,the food taste good and i enjoyed it a lot. Actually gusto nga namin ng sister ko bumalik dito eh.
my family loves to eat this is one of the best eat all you can that we have tried, you really have to try all the food. We have tried K,D,S,V,T...... i cant remember everything and i cant type the names here, but so far, we still cant forget a lot of china towns dishes compared to the ones we had on these other restaurants. So, yea i will give them a 4.5, clean place, nice food and good service :)
One of the most value for money eat-all-you-can buffets in metro manila! Chinatown's best has been around since forever and still going strong. The last time I was here was when a friend's dad celebrated his birthday. They reserved the whole second floor for the occasion.
There is quite a good number of food to choose from, but most popular is the crab and the tempura shrimp.
On a side note, my wife was also featured as a reviewer of this restaurant in the show Pop Talk. The last time we went, the episode was being played at the dining area.
When you're craving for eat all you can chinese food around QC area, i would gladly recommend this place. Loved their food, and they got a big place so alot of people can dine here especially during lunch and dinner. Since they have a big space, alot of families usually chose this venue for celebrations or reunions.
The place is newly renovated. Great improvement compared to the old design.
Good queuing system.
Very Good air conditioning.
Clean restroom.
For the place ill give them 4.5*
Food variety is good. Wide range of chinese food. From soup, cold cuts, sushi, meat, seafood, fruits and desserts. But nothing special.. 3*
Servers and attendants are all smiling... 4*
My father's second favorite buffet. They have lots of food choices and if you are into Chinese and a little of Japanese food lover, you can go here. Plus the price is affordable and they have unlimited crab which tastes so good! At first I liked the place but then now since I'e been there like ten times already, I realize that they are not much variety of food available and that it was too crowded specially on weekends and the replenishing of food takes some time.
他们的中国菜融合了菲律宾特色，有点油腻，不过总体来说味道不错，尤其是牛河(beef hefan) ，有广州的味道，很喜~ we had our dinner there yesterday, coz it was the Lantern Festival and also it's was the last day of Chinese New Year~
