Are you currently in trouble looking for a nice place to eat in Lucky Chinatown Mall of Binondo? If yes, then you stumbled upon the right blog post!
Last Update Date: November 2025
I'll make this quick yet useful for you, so let's begin! Note that some of the restaurants recommended here have separate blogs posts, you may read them by clicking on the name of the restaurant (as the header).
Important Note: I first created this post back in 2016, and interestingly 3 out of the 5 restaurants I listed before still stand and thrive today. Hence, that really shows how much people like them. The three in that list include Ramen Kuroda, Sincerity Restaurant and Shi Lin. I've replaced the other 2 with newer restaurants to keep this list updated.
Lanzhou Lamien
Lanzhou Lamien has grown into a classic staple here in Binondo. It started off with a small shop along San Fernando Street. They became instantly famous when words spread how great their hand-pulled noodles are. Interestingly and intriguingly, Lanzhou Lamien suddenly disappeared for a time. The reason of which I was not able to catch, but shortly after they came back stronger. Now, they have a branch here in Lucky Chinatown Mall, and few others spread in the Metro.
📍Location: Third Floor, Lucky Chinatown Mall
What to order: Dong Ding Oolong Tea, Taro Milk Tea
Budget: P200 and up for a drink

The restaurants are listed in no particular order/ranking.
Ramen Kuroda
The ramen here in Kuroda is one of my personal favorites because it has the flavor that I want without spending too much. I know others may have a different opinion regarding Ramen Kuroda, but a bowl of ramen here satisfies my ramen cravings the same way the more popular and expensive ones do. While there are already multiple other branches not just in Lucky Chinatown Mall, this is one of the first branches they had, and thus have a special place in my heart.
📍Location: Third Floor, Lucky Chinatown Mall
What to order: Kuro Ramen, Aka Ramen
Budget: P200 and up for a bowl of ramen
Sincerity Restaurant
Sincerity is a famous restaurant you can find in Quintin Paredes of Binondo, but in case you are finding it tiring to visit, you can conveniently choose to dine conveniently inside Lucky Chinatown Mall. The restaurant is famous for the authentic Chinese dishes including the chicken and the oyster cake. And if you feel like exploring, you can also try their Fried Frog Legs.

This is one of the few restaurants (perhaps the oldest) that lasted the test of time here in the mall, so that means something, right?

They serve authentic Chinese noodles, very distinct with its clearer yet tastier soup. The noodles are hand pulled giving it a good bite and texture.

What to order: Beef Lamien
Budget: P300 and up for a bowl of ramen, or for sharing for groups of 4
Shi Lin
Although somewhat pricey, Shi Lin offers great range of dishes for your Chinese-food cravings. It's also a place where you can get a decent dose of Xiao Long Bao. Also, you can try the Nutella Xiao Long Bao as well, for a different foodie experience. The thing I personally like about Shi Lin is how they retained their relatively affordable prices throughout the years, and also it's one of the few places I can enjoy noodles in peanut sauce.
📍Location: Ground Floor, Lucky Chinatown Mall
What to order: Xiao Long Bao, Noodles with Sesame and Peanut Sauce (my personal favorite)
Budget: P400 and up each for a group of at least 4
CHICHA San Chen
For dessert, I suggest that you go for CHICHA San Chen. It's fairly a newcomer this 2025, and they serve one of the amazing tea drinks I've ever tried. They use pressurized machines similar to that of a coffee shop which they use to extract the richness of the leaves, giving each drink a very bold, distinct and refreshing taste.
