We went last Mother's Day for dinner with my family. We're a fan of the food even before they relocated. Overall, food and service is still the same--very good. The main issue for me is the new location of the restaurant. It is literally next to the highway which at that time, it was really noisy because of all the trucks and vehicles passing by. We had a hard time communicating with each other because of that. It would be nice if they can lessen the openings of the store so less noise would come inside. I get that it's also for ventilation but, it creates discomfort too for customers especially for elderly people who are not used to loud and unpleasant noises while eating. I don't recall hearing background music also at that time, it's also nice to have that since it creates ambience.
As an interior designer, my other observation is that they have these full-length window/doors that's open all the time which I think is not really necessary--those could've just been a standard window or sliding glass door which you can still open if you need that ventilation and natural lighting, at the same time, you can still close it at night if needed. Having a defined and specific entrance/exit door would also be nice to control the flow of customers who are going in and out of the store since, it can get crowded especially, there are customers who are willing to wait in line.

Read moreOctober 2025 Authentic mid range Chinese restaurant chain specializing in trendy dimsum dishes as well other rice topping options.
There is authenticity in the preparation and setup of the restaurant that shows in the food and the service which up to par with more established outlets. The flavor is standard fare with only the serving sizes very minimally reduced as is reflected in the price. This is to capture a mid to upper class market that is looking for more authenticity in the Chinese cuisine vs the more Filipino stylized dishes.
Even the service has that well trained characteristic.
The place is the downside as it is located at the very busy Antipolo highway often filled with noisy motorcycles and commuters. The place has no air-conditioning so entryway and windows are open, letting in noise, insects, and pollution from outside. Even the hillside partial view is but a small consolation for the poor location.
The parking driveway is very limited and has a very narrow entrance. Backing out is also a bit tricky as it is by the side of the sloping highway.
Apart from the location the place is well designed but only if it were in a less busy and more provincial area. The interiors are limited in space, very casual with...
Read moreAllot extra time when visiting on a holiday. Last Jan 2, it took around 40 mins for us to get seated and 25 minutes to get our food. Bring a book. For students, this is the perfect time to do some advanced reading. What others do is they eat at establishments downstairs and order takeaway from Wok it out.
By 8pm that day, they set a cut-off already perhaps because there's a backlog in the kitchen already for deliveries or some ingredients may be out of stock. I saw around 4 customers get turned back much to their dismay. Hopefully they didn't come from afar.
There's paid parking at the right alley of Sakura circle for 50php if the free parking infront runs out. It also becomes free if you purchase 1,000php worth of goods at ABCT mart.
Food still worth the wait though 😋 I always order the...
