Fast-casual Chinese concepts are a dime a dozen in a country that has a sizeable community of Chinese descent. Yet a few names shine brightly and have become popular go-to spots for those craving for dimsum, noodles, and short orders full of flavor and Asian flair. One of these is Hap Chan, a common sight in many a mall or commercial hub.
Hap Chan’s humble roots date back to 1997, beginning as a small tea house in Manila that served simple Filipino-Chinese favorites: dimsum, congee, and mami. Because of their quick service, good food, and affordable prices, there was a clamor from hungry diners that prompted its franchising under Hap Chan Trading and Management Corporation in 1999.
The corporation expanded to more branches and operated with these different restaurant concepts for Hap Chan: Seafood Restaurant, Full Restaurant, Tea House and Express. Tea House and Express serve its more casual fare like rice toppings and Hong Kong street fare, while Seafood Restaurant and Full Restaurant serve classic dishes focused on sharing, like hearty hotpots and short orders.
Hap Chan now has around 100 branches open around the country today, and much of this may be attributed to their corporate values that emphasize responsible ownership, consistency, and teamwork. Their company ideas occupy a prominent position in their main website, serving as a firm reminder that Hap Chan has not forgotten to honor its hardworking origins!
Hap Chan Menu
The dizzying array of Chinese delights on Hap Chan’s menu can make it tricky to navigate, but it always begins with soup or a small selection of dimsum. Get their Hakaw or Shark’s Fin Dumpling as appetizers to start your meal, or warm your tummy with a bowlful of Polonchay Seafood Soup.
