Jul 14, 2026"We grew up loving Snow Sheen-their signature buttered chicken, fried lumpia, lomi, canton, and bam-i were childhood staples and long-time favorites. So on a recent quick visit to Colon, we decided to drop by and have lunch at one of their branches. Unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations. We were excited, looking forward to the familiar taste we had always associated with Snow Sheen, but left disappointed. To break it down: the camaron rebosado, as you can see in the photo, was overcooked and tasted like it had been fried in reused oil. It was crispy, yes-but almost burnt and dry inside, lacking the freshness we remembered. We initially ordered canton, but it was bland and too soft, with clumps of noodles sticking together. We requested to have it replaced, and while the pansit guisado was an improvement, it still didn’t quite capture the flavor we used to enjoy. On a positive note, the portions for the budget meals were generous. However, my pork steak was served cold. We also ordered the chicken budget meal, which arrived around 30 minutes later. While the chicken was soft, juicy, and crispy, it was lacking flavor on its own-you’ll definitely need a dip. The staff, to their credit, were attentive and respectful when we raised our concerns. They accepted our request to return the canton and even tried it themselves. We appreciate their openness, but still hope the restaurant can revisit its standards. Snow Sheen has been around for years, and we’re hoping they bring back the quality that made them a crowd favorite in the first place."
