Malabito Street Catering & Cha-a Teahouse

Such a hidden jam as a restaurant. The staff is very kind and down to earth. The food is very authentic and freshly made. My favorite was the Ube Tres leches, which wasn’t too sweet and just right/very moist. You can actually taste the Ube. I ordered bangsilong which was the best decision ever. I was able to be transported back to childhood with the fried fish that was cooked perfectly. And there are no spiky bones or anything like that that could feel uncomfortable. The teas are very good quality. I recommend trying many and even taking an ounce to go home if you drink looseleaf tea. Overall, a really cozy restaurant highly recommend!!! 💯 you can see the sketch that I made inspired by the food that I ate.

Finding quality, authentic Filipino cuisine is hard to come by in San Antonio, but this place really hit the spot for me! My friends wanted to check out their tea selection (which we all enjoyed, especially coming from someone who doesn’t like tea), and I was transported back to my childhood home with salted egg and arroz caldo. My friends also had clean plates, having ordered the tapsilog & bangsilog. Overall, the portions were generous & reasonably priced for the quality of food & freshness! The service was top tier, and I truly felt at home. I fully intend on coming back to try out more of their desserts (the ube tres leches is to die for!!!), & I plan on bringing my parents as well! 😋🇵🇭

I first came here 2-3 years ago & always loved this spot. I come for tea or some Filipino food/desserts every couple of months. The atmosphere always been inviting and the owners are the sweetest! I love getting the arroz caldo and lumpia here. All food always made fresh!

I love coming here when I get the chance and this place is worth my drive every time. I visit when I spend time with family AND I get to enjoy my childhood favorites (Filipino dishes) and the huge variety of teas... well, it is all so satisfying! My ultimate favorite go-to tea is the Strawberry Hibiscus & Teatox combo. They also have BOBAS (TARO) 😋 The owner Epsie and her family, so wonderful!

This place is amazing! We’ve been looking for a legit tea house in San Antonio for awhile now and this place just opened up near us. They have a large variety of organic tea and I was surprised to see they had food too which was equally amazing. I had the jasmine tea and dumplings and they were so so good. Definitely will be coming here often !!
