    Chinese Kikiam
    Kikay T.

    We've been coming to this place since 2012, and the food has remained consistently delicious and exceptional over the years! A special shoutout to Alex, who was our server that day while also handling the front desk and cashier duties all at the same time. She managed to juggle multiple responsibilities seamlessly while maintaining a positive, friendly, and accommodating attitude throughout our visit. Employees like Alex truly deserve recognition. Her hard work, professionalism, and outstanding customer service made our dining experience even better. We'll definitely keep coming back!

    Food: Ordered the chicken mami, lechon arroz caldo, siomai and siopao. Flavors were on par with what you'd expect for Filipino food, and the price for each item is pretty reasonable. Service: Attentive! Upon walking in, was warmly greeted by a kind lady, smile and all. Ambiance: Very clean--appears to be recently renovated. Gives somewhat of a diner vibe, Filipino-ized. Parking: Ample parking. Located in a plaza.

    Spaghetti

    I've been going here for years! A true staple in the city in Carson, and continuously representing Filipino cuisine with pride. I got the seafood canton and spaghetti, and it was exactly the way I remembered it! Full of flavor and good portions. Would highly recommend

    beef mami
    Angelica L.

    Solid beef mami! Was craving the flavors of home and wanted some soup, so I found this place on a quick yelp search. Flavor of the beef was excellent and it was wuite tender. It had one odd fatty piece but I just avoided it. The noodles weren't my fave but weren't bad. Broth was flavorful, and at the price point you cant go wrong. I would def be back!

    Palabok

    I could've sworn that I just did a review for Mami King this month. Now my newest review isn't showing. I have been coming here since my late teens. My beloved stepmom, used to bring us here on the way home from church. I have fond memories of eating their palabok and literally eating a whole plate of it all by myself. That was back in the day when I could afford to eat like that. Anyways, now that I have my own family, I have started to bring them to Mami King since we love their siopao so much. We don't live close, so we usually grab food or a box of siopao when we're in the area. The last time we dined here, we rushed over right after work. As soon as we arrived, a couple of us ran into the restroom. In one of my previous reviews, I had mentioned how dirty the restroom was many years ago, so I was prepared to enter the same setup. Luckily though, they seemed to have cleaned it up a lot. That was all great until I needed to wash my hands. No hand soap. The container was absolutely dry and didn't seem to have had any soap in at the very least, days. I told the workers, they told each other, didn't seem to be concerned or cared. This hand soap dispenser never got filled. I know this because later on, someone else in my party needed to use the restroom. They came out and had to ask me for a hand sanitizing wipe because there was still no soap. At the time we were there, there was only one other party that was dining. Service - we were happily greeted by our sweet server who we've had many times before. She was a short, long haired, mature lady. She always has a smile on her face, and she is super friendly and attentive to me and my kids. She is so pleasant and I enjoy her company. What we ordered the last time; The family meal deal 1) Siomai - not the usual flavor of Siomai that many of us are used to. My Siomai obsessed kid, did not like this. I didn't either. 2) palabok - good but needed a little more seasoning which was easily fixed by a little fish sauce and of course some lemon. 3) lechon kawali - crispy and served with a soy sauce and vinegar dip. Not as many pieces as they used to serve. 4) Kare kare - served with bagoong. Serving size seems to have shrunk. It's not as peanut buttery as I would have liked, it was ok. 5) Chicken and wonton soup - this wasn't part of the family meal deal that we chose but felt we needed one more item to add for a party of six people. It was ok. Not as tasty as it once was. 6) 12 siopao to go - the best as usual The food seems to have gone downhill a bit. Portion sizes seemed smaller, flavor was lacking. It was very disappointing. Everyone was so excited to eat at, Mami King. With the food being less tasty, it may be a while before we go back to Mami King. Driving over 45 minutes needs to be worth it. This time just wasn't it.

    Arroz caldo with lechon
    Aimee P.

    The quality of food is great. The best arroz caldo with lechon . The taste is spot on, the place is simple, just regular restaurant with no frills: you come here for delicious Filipino food. Definitely will go back. The servers were nice and food came out fast. There is parking . It's clean .

    Do they accept cashless payments?

    Yes they do. I think you may have to spend at least $10? It's been a while since I was there so I'm not sure if that amount has changed.

    Vegetarian or pescatarian only dishes?

    Do you sell vegetarian dishes and bangus plates?

Great staff! My friend and I stopped into this great shop in Lomita and had a fabulous meal. I love the way they do their poke - you get to pick TWO flavors of meat! How fun! It was all fresh, good selection of ingredients and the taste in the Crunchy Tuna Garlic was superb! We also loved the Spicy Salmon Mayo. I'm a huge tocino fan so when I saw it on their menu I had to get it! I was surprised it came with two fried eggs and was a nice, big portion. We also had to try their Crispy Masubi and this was fantastic. I've had many deep fried masubi versions and this was much nicer than those. This was the best breaded type of masubi I've had. Absolutely loved it and would get it again in a second. Overall, fabulous meal at Poke & More that I would go back for.

    It's good poke. Heavily sauced, but good. Nothing to write home about. My favorite poke places are…read morestill King Poke, Jus' Poke, and Ali'i Hawaiian Grill. The menu is quite extensive. I don't trust places that have large menus because it screams "jack-of-all trades, master of none." How do you serve fresh poke while being ready to fire up a Hawaiian bbq mix plate? Parking can be challenging depending on when you go as they share a plaza. I sort of stopped going here a few months ago after they discontinued their Saturday special of buy one pound of poke, get one pound free. That deal definitely made it more worthwhile. Without that promo, the other local poke places outshine this place.

All the cakes are prebaked and packaged, but one can come in to have it decorated with custom lettering while you wait. While we waited, we also ordered two other things that we all love from here: their shanghai style egg rolls (25 pieces for $21) and their miki bihon pancit (medium, enough to feed a family, for $21). We've tried a lot of different version from different places all over, and have come to the conclusion that we like the version at Gemmae's, the best (as long as for my wife, they skip adding patis to the pancit). They also have a turo turo steam table here. The yellow curry chicken caught my eye, so got a small container of that. It was solid...first time eating yellow curry (tasted just like the japanese style) at a Filipino restaurant.

We also grabbed a frozen pack of Shanghai, fried it up at home, and wow, it was so good. I highly recommend picking up a pack if you visit! I love that this shop offers both savory food and sweets, so definitely come hungry. The service was quick and friendly, and the interior made me feel like I was transported straight to the Philippines. Pro tip: stop by around 1 pm-3 pm for a great experience.

    We went here to try their filipino food on a saturday afternoon for lunch…read more The food prices were on the sit down area were on the higher end $20-30+ for normal, traditional mains that did not include rice, drinks, or sides (that is on the higher end for non gourmet filipino food). However, they also had a buffet style "scoop and go service" on the corner that has the same food on the menu but in combination plates and much more affordable pricing ($12+) that also included rice. We did not understand the discrepancy in pricing since it's the same food and pretty much the same sizing (maybe slightly smaller mains) though they may cook the food fresh/heat it up on the sit down area. My group ordered a variety of food including lechon kawali, garlic rice, vegetables, soup, pancit, etc. and they were very tasty and hit home! well seasoned. The place was not very busy so it was quick. We decided to sit in the restaurant with our ordered food since we were the only ones there. I ordered a main that was running low and the employee told me that they had to cook it and I had to wait which was fine with me. The man ended up not giving me much of the new cooked pieces but mostly of the leftovers and added a couple of pieces of the fresh ones, which was fine but with the wait made it disappointing since I could have just gotten some of the old pieces from the beginning and started eating it. Decent place - I would recommend their "scoop and go" service area for fast service and more reasonable pricing. *I heard they have karaoke in the late afternoon, which may change the vibe and atmosphere of this place so we may need to check that out! 3.2/5
