Chinese cuisine is popular with Filipino diners because of its incredible flavors. Available at a variety of price points, any diner can enjoy a delicious serving of dim sum at both fine dining institutions and humble mall stalls. One Chinese food chain that’s remained a firm favorite is David’s Tea House, and it’s an easily recognizable sight thanks to its yellow and red sign and bright lanterns.
David’s Tea House was founded in 2003 by David Yeau, with the first branch located in Tomas Mapua St., Sta. Cruz, Manila. Despite having numerous rivals in this area famous for its large Fil-Chi community, the restaurant’s commitment to serving authentic Hong Kong cuisine made it a hit with customers. It quickly expanded from a small 20-seater eatery in Chinatown to a restaurant chain that now has over 20 branches in the Philippines.

Though the restaurant was opened for franchising, David’s Tea House has remained very strict with its food quality control to serve the same traditional, tasty Chinese fare that its loyal clients know and love. It’s no wonder then that while other trendy food concepts have come and gone, David’s Tea House has retained a solid client base and endures as a popular restaurant in the country!
David’s Tea House Menu
You can’t go into David’s Tea House without starting off a meal with yummy dim sum! We highly recommend the delicate, shrimp-filled Hakaw or soupy Xiao Long Bao. For those who want to try a variety of dim sum, you can simply order David’s Assorted Dimsum Platter.
