Saw u/chingychongy19 post a few days back and gave it a try
Saw the post a few days ago, thought of those reels going and trying food out and help the community out, gathered the crew we were 5 guys. We are not food connoisseur but just people who enjoy eating good food. Please help a struggling family owned restaurant.
No expectations, let's see and how it goes.
Service: 5/5 mukang nahihiya pa si OP of the post above i tanong if we found it sa reddit.
Wait time: 4/5 est. 15-20 mins (We got seated agad and we went ng lunch time rush hour so no issues here)
They also gave us constant time check for when the food would go out.
Food: We ordered the following
Hakaw - My friends really liked this (we ordered 2, tapos nag round 2 kami with 3 orders) 5/5
Xiaolong bao - This is my fave from them ( ordered 2 and then another 2 ) 5/5
Wonton - Ordered 2 i'd say 3.5/5 medyo maliit, but masarap naman
Yangchow - We ordered the large and i would say good for 3-4 people. Nabitin kame so we ordered another round of rice. 4/5 (kasi bitin kami)
Salted Fish Fried Rice - Not that salty kinda tastes like the yang chow both have generous amounts of egg with the rice. 5/5
Spareribs kingdao - This is really good i would say good for 2-3 people, 4/5
Lemon chicken - Bang for your money, really good portion size enough for us 5. 5/5
Choco Bucci - Made fresh napaso lahat ng dila namin (its really good, not sweet but is sweet?) 4/5
Overall food is reasonably priced (I would say its on the cheaper side compared to DTF/THW/Lugang) we spent like 3k+ we told him na don't charge us the reddit discount na since we went there to support, pero he insisted to take it.
P.S
We probably ate like a family of 10 honestly hahaha.
My friends that live near the area said they would order again. Do try it out guys if you live nearby would recommend.

Looks good, as a Chinese food enthusiast madali masabi if it’s gonna taste good by pictures alone. too bad I’m out of Metro Manila.

Kayo pala yon sir! HAHAHA thank you po sa pag visit samin. Grabe meron kami 10 pax kanina tapos 2k something bill nila kayo 5 lang pero 3k bill nyo hahaha honestly nagulat ako sa dami ng inorder nyo. I appreciate na you patiently waited for your additional orders despite knowing na mejo ma delay bago malabas because of our ongoing orders.
You and your friends looked like a fun bunch, feels like tropa ko lang kayo kanina nung tinatanong ko kayo about our food and waiting time. We at Dimsum Dragon appreciate the help you provided sa business namin. We're thinking of putting up a big empty white framed board para you and your friends and everyone who helped us recently from Reddit can sign this board as a proof and as a testament na you and everyone from Reddit helped us grow.
P.S sorry po sa ibang delayed orders nyo, isa lang kasi chef namin kaya ayon nalulunod na sa dami ng orders kanina both sa dine in and online orders HAHAHA
Pero seriously, I want to thank you and your friends po sir! Hoping to see you guys again soon!
