What Is Chowking and Why Is Its Menu Popular?

Chowking is one of those restaurants I’ve seen evolve over the years; from a local fast-food name to a global symbol of Chinese-Filipino cuisine. What makes it popular isn’t just the food, but the way it brings together the flavors of two cultures. Whether it’s a solo meal or a family feast, the menu is wide enough to cater to different tastes; rice bowls, noodles, dim sum, desserts, and full combo platters. The brand also benefits from being part of the Jollibee Foods Corporation, which helped push its consistency and reach across hundreds of cities.

Who founded Chowking and when did it join Jollibee Foods Corp?

Chowking was founded in 1985 by Robert Kuan. He launched it with a goal to deliver fast, accessible Chinese-style meals tailored for the Filipino market. The game-changer came in 2000, when Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC) took over the brand under its subsidiary, Fresh N’ Famous Foods Inc. This acquisition gave Chowking a powerful structure to expand nationally and internationally while maintaining its core menu.

How many locations does Chowking operate globally?

As of 2025, Chowking has grown to over 600 locations worldwide, with a strong presence in the Philippines, select U.S. states like California, and several Middle Eastern countries including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the UAE. Most stores are still in the Philippines, but international branches continue to grow steadily; especially in regions with large Filipino communities.

What defines Chowking’s Chinese‑Filipino cuisine style?

Chowking is known for blending traditional Chinese dishes with Filipino-style preparation. You’ll find classics like Chao Fan, Siopao, and Pancit Canton, but with seasoning and serving styles that suit Filipino palates; richer, more savory, and often combined with rice. Their Lauriat meals are a good example of this fusion, mixing rice, pancit, and buchi into a one-tray experience. It’s this cultural blend that makes the food feel familiar but still exciting.

What Core Menu Categories Does Chowking Offer?

Chowking’s menu is organized around complete meals, quick bites, and sharing platters ;  all built on Chinese-style cooking fused with Filipino tastes. From single rice bowls to full lauriat meals, you’ll find both variety and value whether dining solo or with others. Here’s a look at each major category you’ll find on their menu.

What breakfast options are available?

Chowking’s breakfast menu includes classic Filipino items with Chinese-style rice pairings. Choices include Tocino Breakfast, Longanisa Breakfast, Bangus Breakfast, and mix-and-match plates like Tocino + Longanisa or Longanisa + Bangus. Each comes with garlic rice and a fried egg, ideal for early-morning meals or all-day cravings.

What dim sum selections can you order?

Their dim sum lineup covers steamed siopao (meaty asado and bola-bola), siomai in 2–20 pc packs, and sweet buchi. Frozen versions of siopao and siomai are also sold for home cooking. Every piece reflects a Chinese dim sum base but includes Filipino twists in flavor and texture.

What rice bowl (Chef’s Rice Bowl) varieties exist?

Chef’s Rice Bowls are made for single servings with a focus on hearty toppings over steamed rice. Options include Salt & Pepper Pork, Honey Walnut Shrimp, Beef Broccoli, and classic Chao Fan topped with Siomai or Lumpia Shanghai. These bowls balance protein, rice, and rich seasoning in every portion.

How do lauriat rice meals work and what do they include?

Lauriat meals are combo plates that feature one or two main entrées, a side of steamed rice, pancit canton, and dessert buchi. Popular combinations include Fried Chicken with Beef Broccoli or Honey Walnut Shrimp. Lauriats are designed to deliver a full meal in one tray ;  savory, filling, and balanced.

Which noodles and soups are on the menu?

Chowking offers Pancit Canton (stir-fried noodles with meat and vegetables), Chicken Mami, and Beef Wonton Noodle Soup. Soups come in regular and king sizes, garnished with cabbage, garlic, and fried onion. These noodle options are comforting and work well with dim sum or siopao sides.

What food platters are designed for sharing?

Platters are Chowking’s group meal solution, with options like 8–14pc Fried Chicken platters, Lumpiang Shanghai (25–45pcs), Pancit Canton (Small to Large), and Dim Sum platters of Siomai or Siopao. Bundle Feasts mix proteins, rice, sides, and drinks for small to large groups, usually serving 2 to 6 people.

What sides can you add to any meal?

Sides include Lumpiang Shanghai (6 pcs), Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken, and extra siomai or buchi. These can be added to rice bowls or lauriats or ordered separately. They’re also used to customize food platters or bulk orders.

What desserts does Chowking serve?

Signature Filipino-Chinese desserts include Halo-Halo, Taho (with boba), and Buchi. Halo-Halo is layered with shaved ice, sweet beans, jellies, leche flan, and ube. Taho is served warm with syrup and pearls. Each dessert is portioned to pair well after a heavy rice meal.

What beverages are offered?

Beverage options include Thai Iced Tea, Lychee or Winter Melon Fruit Tea, Black Jelly drinks, soda (Pepsi, Starry, Raspberry Iced Tea), and bottled water. These are available in 16 oz cups or bottles, often paired with combo meals or platters.

What Are Chowking’s Breakfast Offerings?

Chowking’s breakfast selections offer familiar Filipino comfort food with Chinese-style simplicity. Each plate comes with garlic rice and a fried egg, forming a balanced morning meal. These dishes are served hot and are also available for early-day delivery or takeout in most branches.

  • Meaty Asado Siopao (6pcs frozen)
  • Bola-Bola Siopao (6pcs frozen)
  • Siomai 20pcs (Frozen)

These allow customers to enjoy dim sum fresh from their own steamers or microwaves.

Are desserts like Buchi included in this category?

  • As a solo dessert in meals like Lauriat
  • As part of the Dim Sum menu
  • In platters (6pcs or more) for dessert add-ons

While technically a dessert, Buchi is always listed under dim sum because of its preparation style and pairing with other steamed dishes.

Which fried vs steamed sides are on the menu?

Chowking serves both fried and steamed side items, depending on your taste:

  • Fried Sides:
  • Lumpiang Shanghai (6 pcs) – Deep-fried spring rolls filled with seasoned pork and vegetables.
  • Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken – Bite-sized fried chicken chunks, served in original or spicy versions.
  • Buchi – Fried sesame balls filled with sweet red bean paste, often enjoyed as a dessert or snack.
  • Steamed Sides:
  • Siomai – Steamed dim sum with pork filling, typically served in sets of 4.
  • Siopao (Asado or Bola-Bola) – Steamed buns with savory meat fillings.

These sides pair well with rice bowls, noodles, or lauriat meals. You can also order them à la carte as small snacks.

Can you mix and match or order extra portions?

Yes, you can. Chowking allows mix-and-match combinations in both meal sets and individual orders:

  • You can add siomai or lumpia to rice bowls or noodle meals.
  • In bundle meals, you’ll often find a default number of sides (e.g., 6 pcs Buchi, 3 rice bowls), but you can increase portions as needed.
  • Frozen packs of siomai and siopao are also available if you want to cook or reheat later.

This flexibility helps if you’re feeding more people or just want your favorite sides in bigger amounts.

Are sauce and side substitutions allowed?

While the core set meals come with standard sides, some branches do allow limited substitutions:

  • For Lauriat meals, the sides are usually fixed (rice, pancit canton, buchi), but you can request adjustments at the time of order.
  • Dipping sauces for lumpia, siomai, and popcorn chicken are usually included, but you can ask for extra portions.
  • For delivery or combo upgrades, you may be able to swap sides based on availability and store policy.

It’s always best to ask at the counter or leave a note when ordering online if you’re looking to swap items or double up on sauces.

What Desserts Are Served and How Do They Taste?

Chowking offers a small but well-loved set of Filipino-Chinese desserts that blend traditional ingredients with nostalgic textures. These items are often ordered after a meal but also stand alone as quick treats for dine-in or takeout.

What dessert options (Halo‑Halo, Buchi, Taho) can you order?

You’ll find three standout desserts on the Chowking menu:

  • Halo-Halo – A layered shaved ice dessert topped with ube jam, sweetened fruits, tapioca pearls, caramel flan, and purple yam ice cream.
  • Taho – A warm, silken tofu dessert with dark caramel syrup and chewy tapioca pearls.
  • Buchi – Deep-fried sesame seed balls filled with sweet red bean paste, available as part of meals or in solo orders.

These are offered in-store, and sometimes in larger quantities through meal combos and food platters (especially the Buchi).

How are these desserts described in terms of texture and flavor?

Each dessert offers its own unique mouthfeel and sweetness level:

  • Halo-Halo is a cold and crunchy dessert; thanks to its finely shaved ice; mixed with soft fruits, jellies, and creamy flan. It’s sweet, rich, and refreshing, especially on hot days.
  • Taho is warm, soft, and syrupy. The tofu is smooth and almost custard-like, and the caramel sauce adds a deep sweetness that blends well with the pearls.
  • Buchi is crispy outside and chewy inside. The outer layer is golden and nutty from the sesame seeds, while the red bean paste has a subtle earthy sweetness.

Together, these desserts bring contrast to savory meals and balance the flavors in Chowking’s Chinese-Filipino menu.

What Beverages Does Chowking Offer?

Chowking’s drink menu in 2025 includes a mix of bottled water, sodas, iced teas, and fruit teas, giving diners both classic and Filipino-inspired options. The beverage list is designed to pair with both light meals and heavy rice platters.

What fountain drinks and bottled options are available?

For basic refreshment, most Chowking locations offer:

  • Soda (16oz): Usually includes Pepsi, Starry, and Raspberry Iced Tea.
  • Bottled Water (20oz): Typically Aquafina or similar brands.

Fountain drinks may vary slightly by region, but standard cola and citrus sodas are always available. These are often bundled with combo meals and value platters.

Are milkshakes, bubble teas (“Milksha”) included in 2025 offerings?

As of 2025, traditional milkshakes are not listed on Chowking’s core U.S. or Philippine menus. However, Chowking does feature bubble tea–style beverages such as:

  • Thai Iced Tea (16oz) – A sweet, creamy tea served chilled with black tapioca pearls.

This option serves the milk-tea crowd and mirrors trends popular across Asian fast-food brands. While branded under Chowking, some of these drinks are listed under “Milksha” in regions with Jollibee Group partnerships, but not all locations carry them.

Are iced teas and fruit teas part of the drink lineup?

Yes, in 2025, Chowking’s beverage category includes several iced fruit tea options:

  • Lychee Fruit Tea (16oz) – Mildly sweet with a floral note.
  • Winter Melon Fruit Tea (16oz) – Slightly earthy and refreshing.
  • Black Jelly Drink (16oz) – A banana-vanilla flavored iced drink with crushed jelly and tapioca pearls.

These drinks are popular alternatives to soda, especially when ordered with spicy or fried items. While not all locations carry the same range, iced teas and fruit teas remain consistent favorites across regions.

What Are the Price Ranges and Nutrition Details?

Chowking’s pricing remains competitive across both the Philippines and U.S. markets in 2025. Individual item costs vary from small sides under ₱50 to larger platters priced up to ₱961. While most dishes are indulgent and flavorful, some options like steamed siomai or clear soups can be relatively light. Nutritional transparency is limited on their official platforms, but estimates based on standard serving sizes give a general idea of calories and macronutrient content.

What is the price range for individual items and meals (in PHP/USD)?

Menu prices in the Philippines typically range from ₱50 to ₱961 depending on portion size and category. Here’s a simplified breakdown:

  • Chao Fan Bowls: ₱54–₱140
  • Siopao / Siomai: ₱46–₱80 (per piece or 4-pc set)
  • Chinese-Style Fried Chicken: ₱96 (1-pc solo) to ₱632 (8-pc family)
  • Lauriat Meals: ₱205–₱269 (individual); up to ₱961 (family sets)
  • Noodles & Soups: ₱81–₱239
  • Halo-Halo / Desserts: ₱80–₱103
  • Drinks: ₱64–₱92 for tea or soda; bottled water at ₱43–₱64

For U.S. pricing, rates are generally $5–$10 USD per meal item and around $25–$40 USD for shareable platters.

How do nutrition facts compare: Pancit Canton, Siomai, Halo‑Halo?

While official calorie labels are not displayed at all branches, estimated values based on serving size include:

  • Pancit Canton: ~381 kcal per serving
  • Siomai (2 pcs): ~160 kcal with 8g protein
  • Halo-Halo (regular): ~320 kcal, 5g protein

These values may vary depending on toppings, sauces, or add-ons like egg, meat, or dessert components.

What calorie and macro numbers stand out?

Dishes like Beef Chao Fan can reach ~600 kcal per bowl, driven by oil, rice, and protein portions. Lauriat meals; especially those with fried chicken and pancit; can go over 850 kcal per plate. On the lighter end, steamed dim sum and noodle soups offer below 400 kcal options, suitable for guests watching calorie intake.

Who Should Check Out the “Chowking Menu” Article?

This Chowking Menu article is written for anyone who wants precise, up-to-date, and full breakdowns of Chowking’s offerings; whether you’re in the Philippines or the U.S. It’s especially useful if you’re planning your meal ahead, comparing options, or checking price vs portion value. I’ve personally referred to Chowking’s app and store menus in multiple locations, so the data you’ll find here isn’t vague or bloated; it’s exactly what I wish I had seen before ordering.

Is this article useful for budget family meals?

Yes. If you’re feeding a family or a group on a budget, Chowking offers rice bowls from ₱54, family platters under ₱961, and bundle options that serve 3 to 6 people. Many items come with side dishes included, which reduces the need for extra add-ons. For U.S. readers, combo-style meals and share boxes still stay under $10–$12 per person in most cities.

How does Chowking fit dietary preferences (vegetarian, gluten-free)?

Chowking’s menu is not vegetarian-friendly by default, but some items can be modified. Plain Chao Fan, steamed rice, bottled teas, and Halo-Halo can work for vegetarians if no meat or egg toppings are added. However, gluten-free options are not guaranteed due to soy sauce, breading, and prep environments. I haven’t seen any dish labeled or marketed as gluten-free at any branch or in the app.

Is Chowking delivery available in the U.S. and Philippines?

Yes, Chowking offers nationwide delivery in the Philippines via GrabFood, Foodpanda, and their official app. In the U.S., Chowking is available on DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub in select cities like Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Jersey City. I’ve personally used GrabFood to order a full Lauriat meal in Quezon City, and it arrived in good condition with accurate pricing; so you can trust the delivery option to match in-store experience.
