king bee

king bee is your typicalchineserestaurant near paseo de sta rosa. we ordered the following:
1. spinach with garlic - okay
2. hakaw - a bit dry
3. japanese siomai - so-so taste
4. beef slices with taosi - this okay but the beef is a bit chewy
5. fish fillet with broccoli flowers - great
6. fookien fried rice - very good

overall, the place is for family and food is for sharing. they also sell rice meals for individuals which is affordable.

king bee is our go-tochineserestaurant. food is served fresh and delicous. they have big servings. food is affordable. so if you are craving fprchinesefood, you can never go wrong with king bee. by the way, they already have set meals in their menu.

i was out with my boss to attend few meetings along south of metro manila and after the first one we decided for a lunch. i often see king bee whenever i visited one of our client located around paseo outlets, a greenfield group-owned site. anyways king bee was a surprise for me. reminiscent of thechineserestaurants i tried in binondo manila i was curious how a similar restaurant ended up somewhere in sta. rosa, but i digress. important thing is i really loved the food. we only ordered five variants in their menu: salted egg prawns, bird's nest soup, cold cut plate, salt and pepper pork and a bowl of yang-chow rice.

loved all of them, but i was baffled by the method they did for the salted egg prawns, i mean why batter it with the salted egg mixture with the shell on? even if the salted egg mixture seeped into the prawn it's kind of a waste for removing the shell just to bite the plump flesh of the prawn. i mean this is the case for my boss, who isn't fond of the shell and would do best to have them removed. for my case however it's hilariously different. call me weird, but since the dish wash cooked into crisp, i didn't bother removing the shell, so eating it was like munching a camaron rebosado (a type of deep fried shrimp dish with the shell removed and cooked to almost crispy goodness, it's like you're biting a good'l prawn cracker junk food except there's still a little plump, fleshy part of the shrimp left). the salt and pepper pork was just right. the vinegar alongside makes it not so overwhelming given mostchinesedishes are oily-fried. the bird's nest soup was fine. i kind of regret though that i failed to finish one cup since it gone cold. the cold cut plate was just right. we ordered the small one, but all the right cold cuts you'll normally encounter in achinesemenu is there, or that's what i think i can recognize (as long as there's a century egg that's it, lol!). what surprised me the most was the yang chow rice. i mean there's a hell lot of restaurant boasting yang chow rice but most of them are just downright oily and saturating to my taste. this one is not. it had the right mix and texture. i specifically love the amount of egg incorporated in it.

my only qualm was the ambiance. it's not that too bad, but the spacing seems quite crowded. there's little room for you to pass through tables without moving carefully. the waiters are welcoming and i have to give a point for the security guards for being welcoming, and some went into trouble escorting you with huge umbrella, shading you from the scorching sun. talk about hospitality. anyway, i would certainly recommend king bee to anyone. it's pretty good stop for a work-field trip or just a simple, casual voyage with friends and family.

forchinesenew year, we tried the king bee branch in south to get authenticchinesecuisine. got overwhelmed at first because of the numerous items on the menu. we ordered shark’s fin (good but a bit dry), yang chow, chicken in lemon sauce (crispy and tasty), bird’s nest with chicken (add soysauce to enhance flavor but texture is awesome!) and the special seafood fried noodles (good!). orders took some time to arrive particularly the noodles but overall, it has satisfied ourchinesecraving. would have been better if there was a touch of cny on that day though.

food is ok but the spoon and fork still has that fishy smell. we always eat here coz it’s my inlaws’ favorite but everytime we visit, malansa talaga yung utensils. i still need to wash it using hand soap sa washroom before i can use it. there was also an instance when we ordered spicy squid, slimy yung squid na nasa loob ng breading, may bubbles pa. nawalan talaga ko ng gana sa spicy squid. mejo off talaga when it comes to cleanliness. sabi ni husband ganun daw talaga kase may mga seafood. sabi ko i was able to wash the utensils nga nawala yung malansa na amoy, then they can do that also. saka sa luk yuen,chinesefood din ang sineserve may seafood also but you can see and feel na malinis yung utensils, wala ding foul smell sa loob ng resto

probably one of the bestchineserestaurants i've ever tried. we ordered chicken feet and hakaw which was really good. take note, i don't eat chicken feet whenever my family or friends and i go out and order dimsums hehe but this one is an exemption. a new favorite! super loved the chicken feet!
for the main dishes;
salted fish with chicken fried rice - which looked like yang chow fried rice, can't barely taste the salted fish.
shrimp salad - generous amount of shrimps! the veggies were tasty. though our first choice was hot shrimp salad.
salted and spicy spareribs - yummy! tender porks and really tasty.
beef hofan - quite didn't like the dish hehe
fish fillet with butter & cheese - personal favorite!
also ordered mango sago for desserts. totally satisfied with our order. the staffs were really friendly and accomodating, great service also. too bad, king bee doesn't have a branch near home or my work place.

it's basically your typicalchineserestaurant which serves goodchinesedishes at a very affordable price. it's best if you come in groups since the orders are always good for sharing. they recently renovated the restaurant so it's alot more spacious. the service is fine as well. highly recommend the peking duck (3 ways). it's one of the best sellers. meat was tender and flavorful.

goodchineserestaurant

taste wise, it is as good as they come. thechineseflavor suited to the liking of the filipino is there.

menu is also true to serving (i.e. when they say one item is good for 3-4 persons, it is). this makes your experience suited for your budget.

i must say this is one of the better go-to places for yourchinesecuisine craving.

if there's one con going here though, is the service time when the place gets packed (may take some time even asking for water, although it is quite understandable because of the number of crew around compared to the customers).

nako! one of my favoritechineserestaurants! i highly recommend that you abuse their dimsum and dumplings cart, because enough isn't enough! i personally love their sweet and sour chicken feet and hakaw(shrimp dumplings). absolutely perfect for lunch or dinner out with the family. staff is friendly af and service is rather quick. highly recommend!

this is the 2nd time i've eaten in king bee (the first was in another branch) and it's still the same. i really like hap chan and north park, so these will be where i compare otherchineserestaurants. i can't exactly say what it is about king bee that just falls short from the two afore-mentioned restos. the food is not bad, but it's just not as good. maybe it's a little bit blander (less msg, which should be a good thing right?). i can't help but remark that i wouldn't eat in king bee if there were other food establishments around. i would eat here if all other places were closed.

my son's favoritechineserestaurant. we always eat at king bee sta. rosa before going back to manila from nuvali weekend. our favorite:

- sweet and sour pork
- roast chicken
- sionai
- pork ribs

dependable king bee branch with good service and food quality as usual. i have eaten at various king bee branches and have noticed their strong presence outside metro manila. they offer a variety orchinesefood and even live seafood displayed in aquariums. the breaded fried chicken was good (my five year old loved it as well) and the salt and pepper spareribs was perfect! we also ordered seafood soup for the toddler and it was nicely cooked. perfect for toddlers because it wasnt oily or salty.

i'm definitely glad there is a king bee along usual routes to vacation places because it's really a great place to grt a quick meal rather than the common and less healthy fastfood chains.

since i lovechinesefood, i rated them 4.5. their hakao is amazingly delicious and all other dimsum. i've been here not just once but more than 8x with my family. great food i must say!
