Lugang Cafe Robinsons Manila — Restaurant in Manila

If you're a fan of authentic Chinese cuisine, look no further than this delightful restaurant that serves up a memorable experience from start to finish. The stars of the meal? The Xiao Long Bao, Chicken Feet, and the impeccable service provided by Chay, our exceptional server.

First, the Xiao Long Bao—these delicate soup dumplings are a masterpiece. The thin, translucent wrappers hold a savory, aromatic broth that bursts with each bite. The pork filling inside is tender and flavorful, perfectly balanced with a hint of ginger and garlic. It's the perfect dish to start your meal, and you'll find yourself reaching for more despite how filling they are.

Next, Chicken Feet—a dish often overlooked, but here, it’s elevated to a whole new level. Marinated and braised to perfection, the feet are tender and packed with deep, rich flavors. The sauce, a mixture of soy, garlic, and spices, coats each piece beautifully. It may take some getting used to if you're new to chicken feet, but their texture and flavor are truly unique, offering a satisfying contrast to the other dishes.

Lastly, the service from Chay deserves special mention. From the moment we walked in, Chay greeted us with a warm smile and guided us through the menu with insightful recommendations. Attentive without being intrusive, Chay made sure our glasses were always full and our needs met, all while adding a personal touch to the dining experience. It’s rare to find such exceptional service, and it definitely made the meal that much more enjoyable.

Overall, this meal was a delicious adventure in Chinese cuisine, made even better by the fantastic service of Chay. Whether you're a seasoned food lover or new to these dishes, this restaurant will leave you craving more. Highly...

If you want to indulge yourself with chinese cuisine then go to Lugang! This is one of the finest chinese restaurants that really serve authentic chinese foods and give you a wide variety to choose. If you want snacks they got it for you. You may try their xiao long bao-- i tried the loofah xiao long bao which is good and i love their roast duck! Today , I tried this taiwanese chopped chicken with salt and pepper and i just love it! The serving is big so this is good for sharing! I always order the honey lemon aloe drink because this is refreshing especially if you feel like you can't eat anymore😂. The cantonese milk tea with tapioca is not good maybe it is because i find it weird to have like a butter taste in the milk tea. For Dessert, i ordered green and red bean with pineapple shaved ice cream -- it looks yummy but no, it is not. So, if you're hungry and looking for a light snack then visit...

Note: This is a mixed review from me and my mom.

We availed their unlimited XLB for Php 688+ and ordered ala carte.

On behalf of my mom - serving time of XLB is slow. We were hungry while other side dishes were served early so we have no choice but to eat the side dishes first.

Food - we also ordered their pork and shrimp siomai (ala carte). Food quality is good, but not our preference since it's more like pork and shrimp XLB. Could've ordered more XLB instead. Also pricier than the average siomai.

For me - if you love XLB then you will appreciate Lugang's unlimited XLB. There are other unlimited dimsum to choose from. Food choices for 688 pesos unli XLB may be limited, but you'll get your...
