It's just a short walk from Jose Rizal University, Shaw Boulevard. There’s limited parking space so it’s best to park elsewhere and walk, or simply commute.
The restaurant itself has a nice, warm, old neighborhood vibe. Nothing fancy, but definitely cozy. The service? They’re fast!
How was the food? We tried 2 types of noodles and their special bola-bola siopao.
1. Beef Wanton Mami (Regular - Php 200, Special - Php 220)
- Serving size for the special mami is HUGE that it had to be served in two different bowls!! (One for the soup, the other for the noodles and the toppings) ?
- The bowl is filled with noodles down to the bottom. It’s topped with 3 big wantons and huge chunks of beef.
- The soup is hearty and comforting. Flavorful but not too rich.
- The wanton gives off a burst of sesame flavor with each bite.
- The beef is really tender!!! ?
2. Beef Soba (Php 220)
- Noodles are not the "soba" we know from Japanese restaurants. They use the same one from their mami, but this dish has a thicker sauce.
- Toppings are beef and a lot of fried tofu. The soup is rich, and flavorful as well. Super yummy and satisfying! ??
3. Special Bola-bola Siopao (Php 95)
- The bread itself is already tasty (soft and tastes really fresh). The meaty bola-bola filling is seasoned just right, and has a generous amount of salted egg slices! YUM!!!
- What makes it yummier is the sauce which has that caramelized brown sugar flavor in it. Compliments the umami of the bola-bola.
- Oh, and did we mention that this siopao is also really big? See the 4th photo for reference! ?
Charlie Wanton Special is now one of our go-to hole-in-the-wall places in Mandaluyong City. The food is affordable (see photos for their full menu) but does not taste cheap at all. It’s no wonder that this cozy hidden gem stood the test of time. ??
