Sincerity Cafe & Restaurant (Binondo)
Sincerity Cafe & Restaurant
A Chinatown classic founded in 1956, where the five-spice fried chicken and oyster cake are a must-order pairing in Binondo.
Founded by the Uy family in 1956, this restaurant serves Xiamen-style Chinese-Filipino cuisine and is now run by the third generation. The signature fried chicken is seasoned with five-spice powder and is flavorful even without dipping sauce. It is often ordered alongside the oyster cake made with sweet potato starch, and the fresh lumpia is also popular. The restaurant has two floors, with a lively first floor and a quieter second floor; expect to wait for a table during lunch peaks, and note that it closes early on Sunday afternoons. Half a fried chicken starts at around PHP 250, and the oyster cake starts at about PHP 315. This entry covers the branch at 519 Quintin Paredes Street, though some sources list 497 Yuchengco Street, so please confirm the address before heading out.
