Today, it’s a cultural and foodie attraction with lots of restaurants serving affordable, delicious Filipino and Chinese delicacies such as dumplings, noodles, and rice meals.

In the same building as Cafe Mezzanine, you’ll find Chuan Kee Fast Food. Chuan Kee Fast Food is the oldest fastfood restaurant in Binondo . They are known for their kiampong, gokhong, maki, and lechon kawali, as well as other Chinoy favorites.
We liked their kiam pong rice and xiao long bao, but some of their main dishes (particularly the fried chicken and pork asado) were rather ordinary. However, overall their food is decent and reasonably priced. Serving time is fast as well, so it’s great for groups.
- What to order : Kiampong, pork maki mi
- Open hours : 9AM to 9PM (opens early at 7AM on Sundays)
Best Snacks and Pasalubong
This store is known for their pork and kuchay dumplings. You can order them steamed or fried for take-out or buy frozen packs for pasalubong.

- Open hours : 8:30AM to 7PM (closes early at 6PM on Sundays)
Found along Carvajal Street, this nondescript food stall serves one of the best fresh lumpias (spring rolls) in Binondo, served with their own version of special sweet-spicy sauce.
This is one of my favorite food stops at Binondo as the quality of the food has remained the same over the years and the fresh lumpia is delish!

Located along Ongpin Street, this food stall serves cheap and delicious fried siopao that you can eat or take home as pasalubong.

A visit to Binondo won’t be complete without buying food pasalubong from Eng Bee Tin. It’s most famous for its hopia and tikoy. I also recommend buying a box of pineapple cake, which is super addicting.
There is more than one branch of Eng Bee Tin in Binondo. Its flagship store, which is located in Ongpin Street, is a 2-storey building where can buy goods and dine in. They have an in-house restaurant called Great Buddha Cafe , located at the 2nd floor.
In 2023, they also launched a food stall at their flagship store, called Binondo Bites , which sells fried xiao long bao. This is one of the trendy food at Binondo.

The easiest way to commute to Binondo is by the LRT Station. Get off at either Carriedo Station (Sta. Cruz Church) or D. Jose Station (Binondo Church). From there, it’s a few minutes walk to Binondo.
If you’re bringing a car, here are the parking spaces available:
- Mall parking : For secure parking, head to Lucky Chinatown Mall (open from 10AM to 9PM). It’s only a short walk to the food spots in Binondo.
- Street parking : This is the cheapest option, as it only costs P50 for a whole day. However, it is difficult to find a free spot on weekends and holidays. An alternative would be the parking at Binondo Church.
- Pay parking : You can find pay parking along Yuchengco St. and Escolta St. This is what we recommend especially if you’re visiting on a weekend.
Here are some commonly asked questions about Binondo:
- Best time to visit : Binondo is a popular day tour in Manila, particularly during Chinese New Year where you can do a food crawl and see dragon dance performances at the same time. If you want to avoid the crowd, it’s best to go here on regular weekdays. If you’re going on weekends or holidays, prepare to wait in long queues especially in the popular restaurants.
- What to wear : Wear breathable, comfortable clothing and sturdy footwear, as you’ll probably do a lot of walking.
- What to bring : A bottle of water in case you get tired and thirsty; an eco-bag if you want to buy pasalubong.
- How much is the budget : It depends on how many restaurants and food stalls you plan to visit. In a small group, a safe budget is around P1500 per person.
Other things you can do in Binondo:
- Visit the Binondo Church, which is a heritage site built during the Spanish period.
- Drop by the Chinatown Museum to learn more about the history of Binondo.
- Take a stroll around Binondo and visit general merchandise stores, jewelry shops along Ongpin Street, and feng shui and crystal stores. If you’re up for some fun activities, have your fortune read in the area! I had a tarot reading in our visit and it was one of the best ones I’ve had. (I’m an avid fan of tarot reading.)
- Head to Manila Bay for the sunset.
Binondo Travel Tips:
- Binondo is generally safe. However, as with other city locations, it’s best to practice good common sense and keep an eye on your belongings at all times.
- Plan your itinerary and decide which food stops you want to visit ahead of time. Most likely, you’ll only visit around 5 restaurants / food stalls.
- A food trip in Binondo is best done with a partner or friends, so you can share food and split expenses.
- If you want the Binondo food trip experience but in a more convenient setting, you can go instead to Lucky Chinatown Mall where you can find Chinese restaurants such as King Chef , Shi Lin , and Sincerity , as well as pasalubong stores such as Eng Bee Tin. This tip is particularly useful for families with young kids in tow.

Binondo Food Crawl Tips and Reminders
- Food trip in Binondo is best experienced if you share it with a partner, your family, or group of friends. This way, you can split or share the cost and try as many dishes as you want.
- If you're bringing a car, you can park it around Binondo Church or at Lucky Chinatown Mall and start your food trip from there.
- Plan your itinerary. List the places you want to visit and use google map to navigate the streets of Binondo and to find the restaurants listed above.
- If you wish to stay for a night in Binondo, there are a few hotels in Binondo to choose from. I highly recommend Ramada by Wyndham Manila Central and Red Planet Hotel Manila Binondo . I've tried both and they both have very nice location near the restaurants.
- Since there are only a few hotels in Binondo, be sure to book in advance online - especially during Chinese New Year when these hotels are mostly fully booked.
- Binondo is generally safe. But always be careful and mindful of your belongings when walking around its busy streets.
