King Bee Chinese Restaurant
If there’s one deplorable fact about living in the suburb, it’s the shortage on good restaurants. In Antipolo, there’s Vieux Chalet and not much else. I especially missed eating in good Chinese restaurants. There’s Luyong in Marikina and Charlie’s along Marcos Highway but neither measures up to the standards of authentic Chinese grub. But all that has changed. We have a new addiction and it’s called King Bee.
Located along Marcos Highway (between Sta. Lucia East Mall and the Masinag-Sumulong junction), it offers the kind of Chinese food that makes you come back for more again and again. We noticed it several weeks ago, promised ourselves we’d go but never got around to it. Then, it was recommended by the manager of the Antipolo branch of EastWest Bank. We tried King Bee once and we’ve gone back a second time.
Because our younger daughter Alex was with us the second time, sweet and sour pork was a must. So was yang chow fried rice.
Me? I’m on a low-fat diet, remember? I had one piece of sweet and sour pork and about four tablespoonfuls of yang chow then stayed with dishes that were safer for me.
I didn’t touch the hakaw (above, left), or shrimp dumplings, because of an allergy but I had a piece of the kutsay (Chinese chives sometimes called Chinese leeks) dumpling (above, right).
Then, one of my favorite steamed dumplings — bean curd skins stuffed with meat and vegetables.
I also had a piece of shark’s fin siomai.
What I didn’t feel guilty about was eating several pieces of the fish fillets with black bean sauce. The fish fillets weren’t fried but merely braised so the dish wasn’t oily at all.
Our older Sam wasn’t with us so we ordered take-out — asado siopao and lemon chicken.
One highlight of our second time at King Bee was when my husband, Speedy, noticed a familiar face at the table behind us. He was so sure that the woman was the owner of Han Pao Restaurant at the Liberty Plaza along Shaw Boulevard in Mandaluyong. We chatted with the restaurant manager who confirmed Speedy’s theory. Now we no longer wonder why food at King Bee is that good. We’ve been Han Pao regulars for over a decade and we’re happy to have a King Bee nearby.

Hi Connie, bago ba tong King Bee? I used to live in antipolo area before pero d ko nanotice si king bee o d ko lang napapansin talaga. Ang ganda ng mga pics mo kakagutom. =p
grabe ka… tulo laway ako dito ha! paguwi namin, pakakainin mo kami dyan ha. pagdating ng araw na yun, low-carb diet doesn’t exist in my vocabulary. in fact, mawawalan ako ng vocabulary. all I will be capable of is grub talk… hahaha!
Beng, yes, it opened about a month or so ago.
Jet, deal yan! Saka dinner kayo sa bago house namin hehehehe
hi ms con! *drooling* reasonable ba ang price? dami kumakain dun pag dumadaan kami kaya lang palagi kami nauudlot dumaan sa king bee on our way home. nauunahan kami palagi ng kids sa burger king drive thru.
nabanggit mo han pao sa liberty, naalala ko na madalas kaming kumain dun.
kapitbahay lang kasi namin yung lugar.
sarap pagkain dun, sigurado pareho dito sa king bee.
Reasonable prices, Bem. A little cheaper than Causeway. They’re really full during weekends. The two times we were there were weekday lunches. Pero siguro kung alanganing oras kahit weekend, you can get a table.
Joey, baka nagkikita tayo noon sa Han Pao!
thanks ms. con. sana matuloy na kami kumain dun.
ms con, where exactly po ung king bee? i wanna give it a try. thanks… is it near burger king and lydias lechon?
Joeann, quite near but drive a little farther in the direction of Masinag-Sumulong junction.
Next time, I would request you put the contact info like full address and telephone numbers of restaurants or stores you featured. thanks
King Bee Chinese Restaurant have branches in Cavite Area. The main branch is located in Manggahan, General Trias, Cavite. It is along Governor’s Drive ( the way going to Puerto Azul ). The second branch is located at Bakao area near PEZA ( export processing zone area ). The third branch is in Tagaytay at the back og FIGARO. The antipolo branch is their fourth. Future development will be in the LAGUNA area.
I think there are 2 other branches of King Bee Chinese Restaurant, 1 in Manggahan, Gen. Trias Cavite, and another 1 in Bacau, Cavite
Tried there. Won’t go back anymore. Too much MSG, and too high a price for the taste.
I like their fish fillet in white sauce. I’ve been trying to recreate the dish but I am not much of a cook. Hope you can feature this dish in one of your blogs.
