Davids Tea House - Restaurant (Ayala Circuit, Makati)

Wide selection of HK style food. Dimsum was good. Some dishes good others just OK.

We celebrated my aunt's birthday celebration here and we ordered their 2 set meals which are good for 5-6 persons/set (2,800php/set). We also ordered separately their polonchay soup, which I highly recommend, and their hot prawn salad. They could accomodate reservations on weekdays and case to case basis on weekends. The crews cater well to the needs of the customers. Overall experience is good.

Incredible service, delectable food. Dimsums are always a win at David’s Tea House, no matter the branch. This branch may not be as spacious as others, so it could be a challenge during peak hours. Thankfully, there’s one table available inside when we went here. We got served after only 10 minutes. I was thinking of getting either milk tea or gulaman, and was leaning towards the latter because their tea doesn’t have pearls. I asked the server if we can have milk tea with gulaman and she happily checked it with the manager. Huge servings, too. I think we ordered more than what we can handle

I want to highlight how amazing of a service we had while dining here. The crew were very attentive and accommodating of our requests. The food is decent and was served pretty fast.

We ordered beef wanton noodles in which the broth tasted great! The beef is so tender, noodles were thin and not soggy.. We also try their dimsums, shrimp siomai, hakaw and kuntchay.. All I can say it is a real taste of chinese cuisine, so savory.. Lemon chicken for sweet side is also flavorful. David Tea House still one of my to-go place for chinese foods..

We had the polonchay seafood soup, fish tofu, yang chow fried rice, shrimp hakao, sizzling chinese style beef sirloin and the cold cuts platter. Fresh mango and mango sago shakes were our drinks / desserts. All dishes were lit and the servers were nice and polite. BTW, they had set menus but are only available on weekdays and non-holiday days. Those sets would be a good choice if you're not sure what to get since their menu is pretty extensive.

Affordable chinese cuisine that hits the spot. Food quality and taste was great. The place is a little cramped but service was good. Compared to other mid range chinese resto, this place has great pricing.

Their noodle soups and congee are decent. You can have better from Luk Yuen and even North Park at similar price range, but David’s will still be satisfying. What David’s Tea House does better than Luk Yuen and North Park is the quality of service their wait staff provide. Compared to the other said Chinese restaurants, David’s Tea House’s staff are friendlier and more proactive in serving their customers. For example, we never needed for our glasses to be refilled with water as the staff we’re attentive enough to know our glasses were already empty so they fill them up without needing to be asked; whereas at Luk Yuen (Glorietta branch), you’re better off going to the counter and refill your glass yourself, as the Luk Yuen staff seem hell-bent on not looking at the customers, as if trying to purposely not serve them.
