Teakha

Went back and it's still our favorite spot for claypot dishes, xiao long bao, etc. the beef brisket noodle bowl seemed smaller but it's still good! Friendly staff as always. _____ 2023: We love it here. Staff are attentive and food is great quality. We already tried the dimsum, hotpot and lauriat set. Lauriat set is truly a feast -- you'll bring home a lot of leftovers. Too many good dishes so I couldn't recommend just one. When we miss Chinatown or Banawe Ave, we just walk to Teakha.

Good food. Highly recommended. Available in Grab. Cereal chicken is soft and flavorful. Teakha fried rice is recommended as well. Broccoli is also fresh and tasty. Excellent food.

Second time here at Teakha and I’m now writing a review because the food is delish. This time around we ordered their Beef Balls and Xiao Long Bao (no photo because it was gone in 60 seconds) for dimsum, Kingdao Spare Ribs, Steamed Suahe, Steamed Crab with Sotanghon, Beef Tendon Noodles, Salted Pepper Squid, Lo Han Chai, and Beef Tenderloin Chinese Style. We ordered a lot because there were four of us plus we had an appetite for some seafood. First off, let me commend the chef for the taste of everything we ordered. All I can say is that the seafood were fresh and did not have that “sea” taste. The shrimp and the crab were just delicious - this is the first time that I actually enjoyed “doing the work” of peeling the shrimp and cracking the crab because of the taste - it’ll make you want to order and eat more rice. The Salted Pepper Squid was good especially with a touch of vinegar. Now some criticism on some of the meat we ordered. The Kingdao Spare Ribs was okay and the Beef Tenderloin was good, they’re both a bit sweet for my taste but the tenderloin was juicy - so i’ll give it additional props for the juiciness. If you definitely like a sweeter side on the dishes you like to order, definitely order these. Overall, our experience here was worth, it’s not Gloria Maris level but it could be. Will definitely try some of their other seafood next time especially the Lapu-Lapu and the Lobster. Will also try out some of their roasting options. If you are craving for some good seafood, definitely check this place out.

This is a small Chinese restaurant along Shaw Boulevard that packs quite a punch. It’s not exactly a cheap restaurant, but it’s not unreasonably pricey either. Just about right. And the good thing is that most dishes come in small, medium and large servings, so you can choose, depending on the size of your group and budget. All the dishes we ordered were winners! Birthday Noodles - I still consider the now-defunct Mr. Choi’s Kitchen’s version the best birthday noodles in town. But Teakha’s version is also quite good and generously saucy. This is probably a little better than David’s Tea House’s version. Dimsum Platter - Mr. Choi’s Cold Platter was still superior, what with the roasted duck and pork asado cuts. But Teakha’s was quite fantastic as well, better than David’s Tea House’s and Luk Yuen’s. The pork siomai was superb, and so were the rest—beef balls, shanghai rolls, hakaw and some sort of fried siomai. Lechon Macau - it came with two dipping sauces. One is mustardy and the other citrusy. Both were delicious, but I still prefer the traditional sauce. Anyway, the pork cuts were more meat than fat, which was good. The skin was crispy. And the dish was salted well. Mapo Tofu - nothing out of the ordinary compared to other restaurants’ version, but was also delicious. It has some spicy kick to it, but the heat was just enough. Cranberry Juide - had the right level of sweetness. Tasted like your typical iced tea, but had that hint of cranberry. Black Gulaman - the usual, nothing out of the ordinary, but at least the presentation was superior. Service was good. Shortly after the wait staff seated us, we were served cold water and the usual complimentary tea. All our orders also arrived well under the 10-minute mark. (However, during our second visit, the staff — seemed different from the ones who served us on our first visit— were less attentive. They had their backs usually turned at us so it was a challenge to get their attention. So I changed my rating for Service from 5 to 4 stars.) Overall, this is a wonderful restaurant, and my family will definitely visit again.

Good food in general. The spring rolls are a must try because of how perfectly crispy they are. We ordered a dimsum platter, a beef wonton soup and a curry don bowl. Everything was pretty good. I like the atmosphere in general and the cute tea that they serve. Overall a decent experience and a great place to go to when you're looking for Chinese cuisine.

Great food, pleasant service, good value. Dimsums were awesome and teakha fried rice was tasty. Salt n pepper pork was indeed salty. 😋 Funny how they charge 10pesos for each take out containers 🤦🏽

It a one of a kind Chinese cruising, it a good dimsum n teakha fried rice is good, spinach soup is big serving n good, At dimsum spare rib is tough n rubbery, shrimp siomai is good

No wonder this place has great reviews! We really enjoyed the food here, their bestsellers are bestsellers for a reason. Dimsum was standard dimsum stuff. The nestum chicken was great, we should've ordered the medium for our party of 6 instead of small (which the waiter did recommend but I was with small eaters and I thought we were ordering more small plates), everybody in our party was raving about the lo han chai (Buddha's delight), the Teakha fried rice was also very good as was the pata bihon. The medium size was indeed just right for our party. Unfortunately we couldn't order the duck as they had no wraps that day :( Sad. They seem to specialize more in seafood dishes as there were more seafood than meat/beef based dishes on the menu, so we ordered the salt and pepper crab and the black bean clams. I originally wanted to try the cereal prawns but another reviewer said it was too salty, so we ordered the clams instead, but still too salty. Unfortunately you need a lot of rice to temper the sodium levels. The salt and pepper crab was ironically less salty. They take reservations, service was topnotch. Parking might be a bit difficult especially around lunchtime so get there early.
