Chowking — Restaurant in Plaridel

🌡️🍜 Chowking Malolos Review (2025): A Flavorful Stop That Needs Aircon & Cleanliness Upgrades!

If you're craving busog-sarap Chinese fast food in Bulacan, Chowking Malolos delivers on taste but falls short on comfort. Here’s your detailed guide to navigating this branch—pros, cons, and tips to maximize your visit.

📍 Quick Overview ✅ Food Standouts: Classic Chao Fan, Halo-Halo Supreme, and Chinese-Style Fried Chicken remain crowd-pleasers . ⚠️ Pain Points: Weak aircon, lingering odors, and inconsistent cleanliness—dealbreakers for dine-in comfort .

🔥 The Good: Why Chowking Malolos Still Draws Crowds Signature Dishes Shine Beef Chao Fan (₱89 promo): Savory and hefty for the price . Halo-Halo Supreme: Perfect for Bulacan’s heat—generous toppings, though some report melted ice cream delays . Siomai Rice Combo: Reliable quick meal, but ask for extra sauce!

Speedy Takeout/Delivery Grab orders are typically accurate here (unlike other branches with missing items ). Pro tip: Double-check condiments (e.g., lumpia sauce) before leaving.

Strategic Location Near St. James Parish and Jose J. Mariano Park—ideal for post-meal strolls .

🚨 The Bad: What Needs URGENT Fixing Aircon Woes Multiple reviewers note weak cooling and leaks (one complained of wet pants from a dripping unit! ). Avoid peak afternoon hours—it turns into a sauna.

Cleanliness & Smell Lingering greasy food odors and sticky floors plague the dining area. Some tables feel hastily wiped . Restrooms are hit-or-miss (bring hand sanitizer).

Inconsistent Service While not as rude as other branches (e.g., Carcar’s “bundak” cashiers ), staff here seem overwhelmed during rushes.

🎯 Pro Tips for Your Visit Best Time to Go: Weekday mornings (9–11 AM) for cooler temps and fresher food. Order Hacks: Skip ice in drinks—reports of half-filled juices when requested sans ice . Dine upstairs (if open) for slightly better airflow. Complaints? Politely ask for the manager—document issues via Chowking’s FB page for faster resolution .

⭐ Final Verdict: 3.5/5 Worth it for takeout if you prioritize flavor over ambiance. For dine-in, brace for a warm, noisy experience—pack patience (and a fan!).

Since Friday is my Vehicle Color Coding Restriction, I have to wait 8PM before I can enter Manila. So hungry, I decided to pass by this branch. Since it was night, there was no long lines of customers. The food was great. But my Pineapple Juice was filled half of the glass only. I asked them not to put ice. In other Chow King branch, if you asked no ice, your Pineapple Juice is still filled up to the brim of your glass. This branch, just gave me half. Attention Chow King, is this your standard quantity procedure? Thank you very much for giving me half filled Pineapple Juice! I hope your evaluators or someone from Chow King read my comments. Thank you. 3 Stars from me!

The meal that I used to have from that same branch of Chowking was great; I wouldn't say it was the best, but it was great. I forgot if I it was yesterday or 2 days ago, when my wife and I went there to have breakfast... and what I was served, was this meager and almost carenderia-like type of food, even though what I ordered for myself was the same set of meals that I used to order in the past. One can easily recognize the decline of quantity and quality of the food that they now serve, as compared to the ones they served in the past. This is probably not the franchise's fault, and we could all blame current economic state of the...
