"Lakas Maka-highblood ng mga kinain namin. Sisig at Crispy Pata...." - An old lady next to me said but with a big smile on her face. With that smile, I knew she was satisfied. 😁 Manam is one of the best Filipino restaurants I've been to. They're serving good quality food at super affordable prices. Sizes availability (S,M,L) is something I really like most especially yesterday that I had my lunch here alone. This was my second time here and I ordered Crispy House Sisig, Caramelized Patis Wings, Lumpiang Bicol Express (All in Small Size), Mango+Pomelo+Sago Shake and additional Melon+Banana Shake when my partner arrived from his business meeting. Crispy House Sisig is the best sisig I've tasted so far. My satisfaction yesterday and 3 years ago was exactly the same. It was crunchy, meaty and tasty. Something you shouldn't miss when visiting here. Malinamnam! Caramelized Patis Wings reminded me of the Buffalo Wings in Honey & Garlic Flavor. That sweet and tangy glaze complements the wings. A must try! Lumpiang Bicol Express was something unique. I personally liked this one. It was meaty and tasty. Plus it was not too oily. Definitely worth a try! I tried Sinigang na Beef Short Rib & Watermelon 3 years ago. The taste was unique but it was not something to die for. The shakes were just OK. I expected too much especially the quantity of Pomelo on the top of my shake as what I saw from the menu. They put too few. The taste of both shakes was just OK. Nothing so special aside from the quantity of sago in them. Customer service was excellent! The place was packed yesterday but I didn't wait long for my orders to be served. The staff were so attentive and accomodating. Overall, it was a good experience.

Manam's newest branch continues the restaurant's tradition of delivering exceptional Filipino cuisine with a twist, all within a setting that is both inviting and historically enriched. This location stands out not just for its food but also for its bright and appealing interior, decorated with authentic classic newspaper clippings that provide a nostalgic backdrop to the dining experience. The service at Manam is noteworthy, with staff members who are attentive and responsive, ensuring that every aspect of our meal was handled with care. This level of service contributes greatly to the overall positive atmosphere of the restaurant. As for the food, it remains as delightful as ever, offering great value for money—a significant draw for many patrons. Our group of 16 indulged in a variety of dishes, each bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The adobong pusit was savory and perfectly seasoned, the beef salpicao was tender and rich, and the watermelon sinigang offered a unique and refreshing twist on the traditional sour soup. The chicken adobo was a hit for its classic taste, while the gising gising provided a spicy kick. The kangkong and sisig rounded out our meal with their robust flavors, and the rice was the perfect complement to all the dishes. Visiting Manam is always a pleasure, and this new branch did not disappoint. The combination of excellent food, impeccable service, and charming decor makes it a must-visit location for anyone looking to enjoy top-notch Filipino cuisine in a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing environment. I eagerly look forward to my next visit, confident in the consistent quality that Manam continues to uphold.

I came to this restaurant with very high expectations. I had heard good raves from my daughter, her friends and from family. We arrived at 1215 and the line for tables was long. It took us 15 minutes just to get a seat. We were given a table on the second level. Now I know why the party before us declined that table. The temperature at the second level was warmer than outside. The blowers were not functioning and the AC was broken. According to the waiter, this has been the case for a long time. Well we got the menus and were excited to try their Classic Recipes and Their New Twists to Philippine Classics. We ordered their Gising Gising, Camaron Rebosado, Chicken Inasal Skewers, Overloaded Garlicy Chicken and Pork Adobo, All Day Batchoy, Lamb Adobo, Sizzling Corned Beef Belly Kansi, House Cripy Sisig and Calamansi Tart. The Gising Gising was amazing. The winged beans perfectly blended to the coconut milk sauce. I would have wanted a bit more spice but very good even without. The coconut milk a necessity for the absorption of Vitamin A from the winged beans. The Camaron Rebosado was so so. It tasted like an overfloured tempura shrimp with fried kangkong on the side. It was probably rushed and cooked in improperly heated oil as it became very mushy and soggy quickly. The Chicken Inasal Skewers were nice and tasty while remaining very crispy. Only complaint was the serving size. This was a large order with only 9 tiny satay size skewers that were barely a mouthful. The Overloaded Garlicy Chicken and Pork Adobo was exactly that. Too much breading but nice tangy Adobo sauce. The boneless pork pieces were good but the boney chicken pieces were a bother to eat. The All Day Batchoy is an insult to the Original La Paz Batchoy. This tasted like egg noodles in an instant noodle Batchoy flavored broth topped with massive pieces of liver. No garlic taste at all. This was so bad that we did not eat it. The Lamb Adobo was good. But for P520 for the medium size and 8 small pieces of meat. Way too expensive. The Sizzling Corned Beef Belly Kansi was different but satisfying. It was very good corned beef placed in a KFC like gravy with Petchay. Their House Cripy Sisig was the star of the lunch. Perfectly Crispy and tasty. This and the Gising Gising are the only reason I gave a 3 star rating. On to dessert. Almost all of their desserts have a 20 minute lead time so order early. The only quick dessert was the Calamansi Tart. It did take 15 minutes to serve but was worth the wait.

Ambience Most of the time, we need to wait in line for dinner. But this applies when you intend to eat inside. They have more seats upstairs since 8 Cuts already transferred to where A Gantea used to be. If you don't mind alfresco, you can cut your wait time or get seats right away. And in the evening, it's usually cozy there thanks to their big fans. Food A small rice serves 1 person according to the menu, but for us, 2 people can share it with an order of soup, sisig, etc. You'll definitely need more rice if you get 2 or more viands, but this is how we usually order here: Quick Bite-style. Crunchy Salt and Pepper Squid Rings was pretty okay; think of calamari but with spicy dip. We prefer Pork Sisig over Corned Beef Sisig because we seek crunchy fun! The adventurous should still try it though. Sinigang na Beef Short Rib & Watermelon has very tender beef with a very satisfying sour flavor and serving size. We order this dish at literally every visit. Service Most of our visits have been excellent experiences. For our most recent visit, they adjusted our order by removing the unnecessary spice from our squid. The replacement was great!

A friend and I thought of meeting up at Greenbelt yesterday for brunch. As we were walking around looking for a place that serves breakfast, I noticed Manam and shared that a Red Cross doctor I had a chat with last Tuesday during a blood letting drive at the office recommended this place. Of the many items on the menu he recommended, I only remembered the dish prepared with watermelon. We ordered Sinigang na Beef Short Rib & Watermelon and added Crispy Pancit Palabok & Gata Leche Flan. The server said the food would be served in 15-20 minutes. We weren't really checking the time but we noticed that they served leche flan first followed by pancit and sinigang last. Although I love the twist in the sinigang and the presentation when serving the crispy pancit palabok, I find the gata in the leche flan a bit overwhelming. Overall, the menu is promising. I am very likely to come and visit again to try other items on the menu. I would have given the place 5 stars if only the service is faster. It takes awhile to get a glass of water. It would probably help to just leave a pitcher or carafe of water per table if they are short on staff.

To be honest this place was disappointing, having been recommended by a friend we had high hopes. We endured the 30 minute wait to get inside - as it was busy with locals we thought it would be worth it. We placed submitted our written order (tick box sheet) before being seated. Once inside we were waiting forever for any sort of service. We finally caught a waitresses attention and managed to get some water. The food came and wasn’t hot. We ordered a mixture of about 4/5 different dishes and most of them were bland/tasteless. They also got the order wrong, adding peanuts to dishes that were specifically requested without and sent two of one dish and less rice than ordered. I am not sure how they get this wrong considering the order is written down on a checklist form. One of the drinks we ordered came way after the meal was finished so we had to wait for it to be packaged in a takeaway container. To be completely honest I feel our treatment was lacking compared to other guests as we are tourists and therefore our service was neglected somewhat. We won’t be returning.
