The 38 Essential Manila Restaurants

"When former electrician Rado Bautista lost his job at one of Manila’s oldest distilleries in 1994, he turned to food to make ends meet. Today, his side street eatery is a favorite among the residents of Tondo, one of Manila’s oldest and most densely populated districts. He’s known specifically for tumbong soup, a clear broth served with pig’s large intestines, spring onions, and garlic. Bautista’s creamy version goes for about P125 (about $2.20) with a cup of rice. Rado’s also sells asado (sweet braised pork), kamto (beef brisket) soup, and crispy lechon kawali with grated papaya. Note: Simon Street can be challenging to find, but it’s roughly two blocks down from Ugbo, a food destination in its own right." - Toni Potenciano

Clear soup is good but when you eat it with the intestine, you can taste the thick porky goodness! Lechon belly is juicy and crispy! Lumpia is just okay. I think they used ground chicken instead of pork.

Their tumbong soup is the best! Fast service as well! One of my go-to-places in Ugbo.

Mang Rado's lechon is a small eatery along the eskenita of the famous foodstrip in Ugbo Tondo Manila. They serve their famous lechon kawali w/ special sauce, kamto soup & tumbong(pork intestine) soup. There's a wait in line before you can get a seat. The place is narrow so its a bit crowded. Food wise, its tasty. Parang luto ni nanay.

Tumbong soup smells good, easy to chew. Best tumbong soup I ever tried!😃 Worth to try! Lechon Kawali is good too, and specially the sauce with papaya Location is kinda crowded but its cheap and delicious

I heard a lot about this place, I had to try this dish. Sizzling meaty goodness and buttery soft cholesterol-laden bone marrow was the center of the show. I could die! We also tried their bulalo and added 2 cups more of rice. Ambiance is just ok. A lot of people come here and they have several branches in the area.

Food tastes good but serving is small. Expect to order multiple if you have a big appetite.
