Ling Nam Express in Gateway Mall

Looking for an authentic heritage meal? Ling Nam Express at Gateway Mall 1 brings over 70 years of Chinese culinary tradition to the Level 3 Food Express. Originally founded in 1950, this iconic brand has transitioned from a humble Binondo noodle house to a mall staple, offering commuters and shoppers a quick yet high-quality escape into the world of traditional Cantonese comfort food.

The unique selling point of Ling Nam Express is its commitment to "OG" recipes that haven't changed in decades. While many fast-food spots use instant broths, this stall is famous for its slow-cooked, rich soup bases and handmade noodles that retain a perfect "bite." It’s the ideal destination for those who want the soul-satisfying taste of a classic Chinese deli without having to navigate the busy streets of Manila's Chinatown.

You cannot visit without ordering their house specialty, the Beef Wonton Noodles, featuring tender braised brisket and plump, handmade dumplings. For a quick snack, their Tai Pao (an oversized steamed bun) and the pan-fried Hong Kong-Style Fried Siopao are absolute must-visits. Pair your meal with a refreshing bottle of their signature Soy Milk or a warm bowl of Fish-Bola Congee for the ultimate traditional experience right inside Gateway Mall 1.
