Helpful staff at Libis. Also, great congee, kung pao shrimp, chocolate xiao long bao, and OK I just got hungry.
Super love their noodle soup selection 🧡
Love the place. Very calm and inviting to eat. It's not your typical asian resto where they employees yell out the orders. The chinese music was playing and it further added to the ambience of this place. We ordered the beef tendon, salted egg prawn, stir fried sotanghon, spinach, 3 cup chicken, corn soup and the taiwanese fried rice. To top it all off, the salted egg bun completed our meal. I would definitely recommend this place for friends and family on any given occassion. The food is great and staff are well trained and friendly. Always a must for superior taste and taiwanese cuisine cravings.
Laksa was the bomb! I just wished they served more of the lumpiang shanghai. We also loved their Xiao Long Bao. Perfect for a lunch out with officemates.
Tien Ma’s is really one of the best Taiwanese restaurants in Manila. I loved their stinky tofu with special sauce, fried chicken and pineapple fried rice. Their serving is also big for the price. This restaurant is really a must try as it is far best compared to the other multi-chain Chinese/ Taiwanese restaurants. It’s all quality food yet value for money.
Great food for a reasonable price. Loved everything except for the dimsum. It's not their strength, imo.
Dimsum wrappers were well made - thin enough, had a good consistency - but the meat filling tasted same-ish for the Xiao Long Bao and the Pork Dumplings. Tasted okay on the XLB (the soup and ginger helped). But idk if that was really how Taiwanese dumplings were supposed to taste like. It was a good thing there was a dipping sauce. Also bothered me a bit that they served it straight from the pan and all crusted up together (see pic with the pancake-like thing, that's the underside of the pan fried dumplings. They didn't even bother to cut off the crust, much less to even turn it over so it will look like dumplings. Huhu)
Everything else was good tho.
- The steamed Lapu Lapu is Soy Sauce was so yummy (how can something that was just steamed taste this good??). 5/5
- Salt and Peper Spareribs were tender and flavorful. 5/5
- Salted Egg Fried Rice was sooooo good! (a bit expensive tho!) Still 5/5
- Tom Yum Noodle Soup. 3.5/5. Takes a bit of getting used to but was okay, I guess. It's my first time to try tomyum so idk if that really was how it's supposed to taste, but I feel like the flavors and the ingredients weren't very harmonious(?). Maybe it need a few more minutes of simmering. Tomatoes looked semi raw. Super spicy, too. But I still kinda liked it eventually.
- We also had seafood fried noodles for take-out and it was so satisfying. 5/5. Would order again.
Service was just a bit slow. They serve house tea and fish crackers while you wait for your order so it gets bearable. They're very understaffed, we feel sorry for their one waitress that had to serve food and take orders and clean up tables! :(
Will def come back for the food, but won't expect much from the service. Would probably order take-out or have it for delivery next time.
Very good food and nice location. It's just as good as their Amoranto branch. The prices are just right for the size of their servings. Of course their signature dish Xiao Long Bao is a must try, also highly recommended are Stir Fried Beef Tendon with leeks, Taiwan styled fried rice, Honey Lemon Chicken, Crispy Pepper Squid, Salt and Pepper Spareribs, and Hot and Sour soup. Also try one of these desserts: Coffee Jelly, Almond Jelly with Lychee, or the Chilled Taho. Keep it up.
Food is amazing, really satisfied my cravings for xiao long baoooo ❤. Nice place, will definitely come back for more. The price is really worth it for the taste of the food.
Great flavors. Friendly staff. They made certain that we had everything we needed. Clean place. We had an amazing time. We'll surely get back for more. :)
The food here is a bomb 😋🤩. Good service with nice ambiance. I really love this branch. Their xiao long bao is luscious, nothing compares to the original taste of XLB 😍
