From a beloved Libis landmark to a new chapter under the Mr. Chow name — a legacy of flavor continues.
Along E. Rodriguez Jr. Avenue in Bagumbayan, Quezon City, a restaurant earned a reputation that outlasted trends. Causeway Libis was more than a dining destination — it was a gathering place, a tradition, and a taste of home for families who returned year after year.
When the time came to reimagine the brand, the owners chose a name that spoke to both heritage and identity. Mr. Chow — named for the patriarch at the heart of this culinary story — honors the original vision while charting a fresh course for a new generation of diners.
The kitchen recipes remain the same. The warmth remains the same. Only the name has changed, and with it, a renewed commitment to the quality and care that made Causeway Libis a household name in QC.
Today, at the same address on Rodriguez Jr. Avenue, Mr. Chow Seafood Restaurant welcomes all — the loyal regulars, the first-timers, the barkadas on food crawls, and the families celebrating milestones over a shared table of fresh seafood, roasted duck, and steaming dim sum.
Every dish we serve reflects a set of values we have held since day one.
We do not take shortcuts. Every broth is simmered for hours, every wok dish fired over high heat, and every sauce built from scratch. No MSG-heavy shortcuts — just honest Chinese cooking.
We source seafood daily. Our Lapu-Lapu arrives live, our prawns are chilled from the morning market, and our ingredients are prepped fresh before each service. There are no frozen shortcuts on our menu.
Mr. Chow is not just for the oldies. We welcome every generation — titos and titas, college barkadas, young professionals, and food crawlers. Our generous portions and relaxed vibe make sure nobody leaves hungry or uncomfortable.
We preserve the culinary traditions of our Causeway origins, keeping the recipes and techniques that built loyal customers over the years. Every dish carries the weight of that history.
From the seafood tanks to the wok, freshness is not a marketing word here — it is a daily operational standard. We would rather run out of an item than serve something that doesn't meet our standard.
Chinese dining culture is built on abundance. We portion our dishes to share, designed for tables that eat together. Scarcity is not in our vocabulary when it comes to feeding our guests well.
Bagumbayan, Quezon City is our home. We are proud to be a local institution, employing local staff, sourcing from local suppliers, and showing up for our community during every season.
The rebrand from Causeway Libis to Mr. Chow was not change for its own sake. It was a purposeful evolution — honoring the past while meeting the expectations of a new generation of food lovers.
The original Causeway restaurant opens on E. Rodriguez Jr. Avenue, Bagumbayan, QC, quickly becoming a neighborhood favorite for Chinese seafood and dim sum.
Word-of-mouth spreads far beyond Bagumbayan. Weekend tables fill with families from across Metro Manila coming specifically for the Peking Duck and live seafood selections.
The brand relaunches as Mr. Chow Seafood Restaurant — a new identity, the same address, and all the flavors that built a decade of loyalty. Social media presence established on Instagram and Facebook.
New signature items introduced including the Assorted Seafood Crispy Noodles and the Salt and Pepper Spare Ribs, both becoming instant bestsellers among the younger dining crowd.
