I'm a sucker for interior design and the pictures don't do it justice. Props to whoever designed this restaurant. We went there for lunch and there was no line. Although the place was full, we got our food in no more than 15 minutes. The food itself was delicious. No complaints at all.

Crispy Pata- The star of the meal and I would challenge you to find a place that does it better. This place does this one dish better Manam's, Max's, Gilligan's, etc... They sous vide their crispy pata which makes it moist whereas traditionally when it is boiled and then fried, the meat edges end up dried out/over fried in spots. This was tender and juicy all over with chip crisp skin! Oyster sisig- we fell in love with this dish in Boracay at Two Seasons Hotel which still holds the title for best version. Lumu's version is Different but still good. They bread their oysters then bring it out in the sizzling plate with the Mayo/aioli sauce served with rice. Great sisig flavor. Lumpia- solid. Halo Halo - it was huge! Monstrous big with great ingredients for the price. My only complaint was the ice wasn't as finely shaved so it ended up clumping a lot. But for the value and quality of ingredients, it was great! Quality is a notch above Max's but not at the level of the Shangri La or even some of the upscale restaurants. Still solid tho and costs way less. Service was great per usual in Philippines

Overall, I think the nexttime I visit NAIA I would eat here again and try the other stuff on their menu.

Welcoming staff and I was greeted with smiling faces. The staff here in the Philippines will only help you if you flag one of them, otherwise they will leave you alone. I ordered the Sinigang with Boneless Bangus. The warm and sour sinigang soup was excellent. It does have a perfect balance of sourness. Loaded with veggies- kangkong, okra, and radish. Very generous three big pieces of bangus. It was perfectly cooked and just seasoned just right. The dishes here are served family style, so it could easily feed four people. The Sizzling Sisig was so delicious. Fatty, juicy and creamy. It goes perfectly well with garlic rice. Make sure to squeeze the calamansi all over. Come hungry, you will not be disappointed.

We have a bit of a wait as we came during dinner time rush. They don't give you a time on how much the wait is, only how many people are ahead of you. We we're seated right away and was given a menu (photo) book. The presentation there were eye catching and entices first timer to try their food menu. We already know what to get so we ordered right away. House Crispy Sisig- it sure is Crispy and very flavorful served on a sizzling plate. These serving was enough for 4 people Sinigang Short Rib w/ Watermelon- one of their famous and favorite food in the menu. First, this is an acquired taste and it's not for everyone's palate. It has a sweet, slimy soup texture and not enough sourness to it. I'll definitely skip this one if I come back to this place. Crispy Pancit Palabok- also one of their menu favorites. They will pour and mix your order tableseide so you can enjoy it afterwards. The sauce was shrimpy and garlicky. I thought the amount of sauce weren't enough to cover the crispy noodles, but I was wrong. It ended up drowning in sauce which I love when eating palabok. This was delectable and a must try. Inihaw na Baboy- tender, Pork belly pieces. It has a right amount of char and seasoning that goes well with the white rice. I wanted to try their Laing, but it was sold out that day :( It also helped that we pre-ordered while we wait for our table so we just ordered our drinks when we we're finally on our table. The service was great, attentive to your food allergies and always checking your needs. If you want to try Filipino food then this place can be on your list to explore.

We stayed at a hotel in Makati so it was really convenient to get to the restaurant. I'm glad there were pedestrian bridges in this car-centric area. It reminds me of the Minneapolis Skyway system. Before we dined at the restaurant we strolled along Greenbelt Park. It was during the weekday. People were at work so it was pretty quiet and relaxing. It was nice to be around nature in this metropolis. I'm sure people who work around this area would come to this park during break. I mean, that's what I would do if I was cooped up in a building all day. We didn't know where Manam was so I walked up to the concierge desk at the mall and asked them. She was helpful and friendly. The host at the restaurant welcomed us and we were brought to a table right away. They tried to put us near the front with a rattling air conditioner. In my head I was like, "Really? How am I supposed to have a decent conversation with my fam with that industrial factory noise?!" I seriously wasn't trying to have a janky restaurant experience. Of course I had to mind my manners because I'm just a visitor from a different country. I wasn't about to start something and get myself in trouble. So I kept those inner thoughts to myself, smiled, and politely asked the host to move us further towards the back. They were able to accommodate us. Our server was friendly. The food was good. A couple of customers next to us ordered the Crispy Pancit Palabok tableside service. They enjoyed the entertainment. We had a smorgasbord of items. The restaurant was advertising their Sinigang na Beef Short Rib & Watermelon so we ordered that. The watermelon flavor was subtle. When we got the bill I was ecstatic. I couldn't believe how affordable brunch was. For food and drinks it was under $25. At home it would have been $50-$60 with tip. Honestly, I'm so glad I got to eat at popular Filipino restaurants like Manam during my Philippines vacation. The closest thing we have to popular Filipino restaurant chains back home is Jollibee and Chowking (obviously fast food restaurants). It was nice to eat Filipino comfort food at a modern restaurant on this trip.

The Bopis was pretty good, it was spicy and gingery all in the same time. The Menudo was pretty good as well, the combination of pork meat with tomato sauce and bell peppers is delish.
