We visited Lugang Café at Robinsons Place for their Unlimited Dim Sum menu 688 and had a very good overall experience. The restaurant has a modern and stylish interior with warm lighting and comfortable seating. Service was really quick and the staff stayed attentive even though the place was busy. They always check if there are dishes that can be cleaned or if we need other things. What we ordered: 1. Steamed Pork Xiao Long Bao A classic and very well-made. The wrapper was thin, the soup inside flavorful, and the pork filling seasoned nicely. We reordered this several times—highly recommended. 2. Steamed Pork Xiao Long Bao with XO Sauce A more flavorful variation of the original. The XO sauce added depth and a light spicy, savory kick. Great if you like stronger flavors. 3. Steamed Pork and Vegetable Dumpling Milder in flavor, simple and comforting. Good texture, though not as memorable as the Xiao Long Bao. 4. Steamed Vegetarian Dumpling with Truffle Oil Surprisingly delicious. The truffle aroma is noticeable but not overwhelming. One of the standout items of the meal. 5. Steamed Chicken Feet with Black Bean Sauce Soft, well-cooked, and rich in flavor. A good traditional dim sum dish for those who enjoy it. ⸻ Appetizers (Unlimited) Tofu with Preserved Egg and Pork Floss A nice contrast of textures—silky tofu, creamy preserved egg, and sweet-salty pork floss. Light but flavorful. Pork Wonton in Spicy Chili Oil Really good. The chili oil has flavor rather than just heat, and the wontons were soft and well-filled. Very easy to keep ordering more. Vietnamese Egg Roll Crispy, well-fried, and not greasy. Simple but satisfying. Taiwanese Omelette Soft and comforting. Good as a side dish, though not particularly standout. Crispy Vegetable with Teriyaki Sauce Crispy, lightly sweet, and a nice contrast to the richer dishes. ⸻ Also Included: • Soup of the Day – warm and comforting. • Rice / Noodles of the Day – generous portions, great to pair with the dim sum. • House Blend Iced Tea – refreshing and not overly sweet. ⸻ Overall Great value for dim sum lovers. The food comes out fast, and there’s enough variety to try several things. The Xiao Long Bao and the chicken feet were the highlights. Suitable for families, groups, and casual dining. Would definitely come back.

Lugang Café Unlimited Feast Review Tried Lugang Café’s unlimited promo for only ₱688 plus tax, and it was absolutely worth every peso! Every dish that came out of the kitchen was scrumptious, from the classic dim sum to the flavorful mains — each plate was bursting with authentic Taiwanese flavors and perfectly seasoned goodness. As a first-timer, I finally understand what the hype is all about — and yes, it’s 100% real. Even if we are seated at the far end of the restaurant, the service was attentive, the ambiance elegant, and the quality of food felt like something you’d expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant. If you’re craving a top-tier dining experience without breaking the bank, Lugang Café’s unlimited promo is a must-try. Definitely coming back for round two!

Availed the 50% off promo for BDO Credit Cards. Portions are really nice and for 50% less, it was well worth it. Staff were nice and approachable, especially Ms. Donna, and food was served timely. Would avail the promo again

The first restaurant for me that really deserves a solid 5/5 in terms of food quality, customer service and well proportioned discounts. My favorites are the wasabi shrimp, roasted pork belly and their golden fried rice. But you couldn't go wrong with any of their dishes. Keep up the good work!
