The ranking
The best of the budget eats in Manila right now is Old Saigon Binondo- Vietnamese restaurant on 958 Masangkay St, scoring 94.2 on our editorial index from a 4.8 Google average across 707 ratings.
Ranked by editorial score, highest first. Each score combines the venue's Google rating with how many people gave it, so a high average on a thin review count does not outrank a proven one.
Manila, restaurant. Holding 4.8 over 707 ratings is harder than posting a higher number on a thin count, and it is why this sits where it does on our index. Google puts it in the cheapest price band.

Method
Every rating, price level and trading status on this page comes from one place. Source: Google Places API, pulled 27 July 2026. Where a venue is permanently closed according to Google, it comes off the list rather than sitting here going stale. The check runs every month.

Old Saigon Binondo- Vietnamese restaurant at 958 Masangkay St, Binondo, Manila ranks first, with an editorial score of 94.2 built from a 4.8 Google rating across 707 ratings as of 27 July 2026. The full ranked list of 6 is on this page.
Position comes from an editorial score combining a venue's Google rating with how many people rated it, using a Bayesian average. A 4.7 from 50 reviews does not automatically beat a 4.4 from 635, because the second is a much stronger signal. Ranking is never sold and no commercial relationship can change a position.
Ratings are re-pulled from Google monthly and every venue is re-checked for whether it is still trading. Venues that close are removed rather than left on the page. This list was last verified on 27 July 2026.
We do not sell ranking positions. Some venues are LocalEnhance clients or paid placements, and each of those is labelled on its own card. Paid placements also carry a rel="sponsored" attribute on their outbound link so search engines can see the relationship.
The ₱ markers on each card come from Google's own price level for that venue, so they reflect what people actually pay rather than our estimate. On this list they run from ₱ to ₱₱₱₱.
