South Mandarin Restaurant — Restaurant in Parañaque

Terrible experience at this restaurant. Even more terrible dealing with the Chinese chef-manager. Sunday lunch with the family was ruined because of a COCKROACH in the 2-way duck dish we ordered. The waitress attempted to remove the soiled dish from our table but I didn’t allow it. I asked for the manager and it took a while for the manager to arrive. An “in-charge” staff was sent first.

The original Mandarin Palace now known as South Mandarin Restaurant along Aguirre St. This has been a BF go-to for dimsum and Chinese food.

We had the usual suspects of Kikiam, Hakaw, Chicken Feet, Pork Siomai and Kropek for appetizers (dimsum).

For a filling, delicious meal that won't break the bank, South Mandarin in Aguirre is a beloved BF...
