Quik Snack in Binondo: Home of Filipino-Chinese Comfort Food in Chinatown
Quik Snack has been serving Filipino-Chinese comfort food in Binondo since 1967, building a loyal following through recipes passed down from its founder, Amah Pilar.
Known as the “Home of Tsinoy Comfort Food”, the longtime Chinatown restaurant has moved from its original location on Carvajal Street to the second floor of the Jose Tan Echio Building, just a five-minute walk away. It is currently on soft opening.
Quik Snack offers a unique Chinatown experience that transports visitors back to a time when tradition and family were at the heart of every meal.
One of their signature offerings is the Kuchay Ah, a crispy pastry filled with vegetables and a touch of beef. This light yet satisfying snack has been a favorite for many years, known for its crispy exterior and savory filling.
