“ Was visiting puerto Princessa for 3 days & I went here twice. The beef stew noodle and cheese bread was soooo good. & everyone working was very friendly. Definitely seemed like a local spot, was the only white person in there both times I went. Definitely worth a trip if you’re in puerto princessa ”

“ You absolutely must try the Chaolong noodles if you're a tourist visiting Palawan. Including the several chaolong houses in the area of Puerto Princessa or Palawan, in addition to here at Thalias Chaolong. The true Vietnamese noodle experience with a Palaweno twist, they said, is offered in Palawan. This is the first chaolong I've ever had; it tastes like pho and is extremely reasonably priced. Great soup; I had the pork buto-buto. The rice-based noodles are delicious. You're in the perfect place if you enjoy noodle soup with a sweet style broth. There is nothing special about their french bread; it is just a standard sandwich. The setting is in the traditional carinderia style, is unventilated, and perhaps with the addition of extra lights to make the area brighter, it will be more appealing and be able to draw in more customers. ”

“ Thalias is the most authentic Pho in Puerto Princesa. It is my favorite chaolong since childhood. Although recently the amount of rice noodle is lesser and the waiting got longer especially during dinner time (6-8pm). Still in terms of authenticity this the best pho. If you ask the people in Buncag or malvar area, this chaolong house has a lot of of memories. Since my college days on 2004 the taste of this chaolong house doesn't change really. I remember around year 2000 the establishment is still a grocery store called Kentroy. I didn't remember when it became Thalia's Chaolong. Its the best thing that happened as we experience this authentic Vietnamese noodle with a Palaweño twist. If you are a tourist going to Palawan you need or its a must to try Thalias Chaolong. Not only here but also try the different chaolong houses that you can see that pop up evewhere in Puerto and Palawan as it only differs from the taste. The uniqueness of Palawan is in our diversity and the addition of Vietnamese culture makes it more interesting. The food especially because as they say the best way to experience the local culture is to taste what they eat. And chaolong is the best example because its a fusion of culture and it makes Palawaño unique. ”

“ To know why the Vietnamese pho is known as chaolong is a different story. Just go to Thalia's for a piping hot bowl of chaolong. Yum! For Lasallians, there is a portrait of St. John Baptiste de La Salle displayed here. ”

“ Went back after 6years. I still enjoy their garlic bread and their beef stew. Price hasn't significantly increased but the serving size downgraded. Serving time can be improved though. Here's their updates price list in December of 2023. ”

“ From the looks of it, it's classic chaolong place in Puerto Prinsesa. It's where the locals eat and it doesn't dissappoint. Beef stew noodles is perfect and the meat is tender and soft. Garlic bread tasty and goes well with the soup. Would definitely recommend. ”

“ One of the best Chaolong noodles here in Puerto Princesa. Easily one of the best, Their food are really delicious and enjoyable made with tradition and love influenced by Vietnamese culture that went here in the Philippines. The staff are really friendly and cheerful towards customers each giving a good hospitality and friendliness that gives such a warm vibe. Downside, the atmosphere is really hot, next to loud traffic and the place seems to be really old and dusty that gives a vintage old feeling that everyone adores. Overall, I recommend trying this small little restaurant. 8/10 (I apologize for not providing any photos, stay for updates) ”

“ Tried my first-ever chaolong here and no regrets. Indeed tastes like pho and the french bread is bulky too. Very affordable price. I’d definitely visit again once I return to PPS ”
