GAO DONG HAI CHINESE Xbox — Restaurant in Dagupan

All fresh ingredients.

I ordered a beef balls dimsum, seafood pancit bihon and a mango shake for an early dinner at around 5:30 p.m. Out of 9 tables, 5 were already occupied including mine.

The beef balls dimsum was served immediately. It was super tender. However, I couldn't taste the beef. It had a gelatinous texture mostly from flour. Nothing exceptional but not mediocre either.

The chili-garlic oil dip though was superb. It wasn't cough-inducing spicy but was garlicky delicious with a tinge of biting hotness.

The seafood pancit bihon came next. It was voluminous and generously garnished with fresh shrimps; fresh, succulent squid morsels; fresh lapu-lapu slices; crunchy fresh veggies; and sliced squid balls. It was fairly delicious; not exceptionally delicious.

Finally, the mango shake was served. Mangoes were super fresh and of the best quality. A true standout.

After I finished my dinner, the restaurant was full with several guests still coming in.

However, for me, Gao Dong Hai...

Our family's all-time favorite Chinese restaurant here in Dagupan. We always get their pancit, yang chow fried rice, fried chicken & beef with ampalaya or broccoli 👌 Their servings are big, they say their small serving of yang chow fried rice is good for 3 people but I think it'll feed 5. We recently tried their danish bread as well and my goodness, it is THE best one i've tasted so far, it's not too sweet and the texture of their bread is soft...just scrumptious ❤️ they don't bake it everyday though, we were just lucky they made...

We enjoyed the food and ambience here. Price is decent as each dishes can be shared by 2-3pax. Waiting time is 30-40mins. They cook and serve your food fresh off the kitchen. Limited parking. Street parking is available but park at...
