8 Must Try Binondo Restaurants – Food Trip Binondo

Binondo is the oldest Chinatown in the world. It’s been one of the favorite places of many food-lovers because of the variety of food you can try.

Since most restaurants and must-eat places in Binondo are very accessible, we suggest walking around the area instead of driving. Parking in Binondo is tricky, and the streets are tiny.

When going around Binondo, be wary of your belongings because pickpockets can be anywhere.
