Manam Comfort Filipino | Lucky Chinatown Mall | Manila

October 10, 2025

We had a great lunch at Manam! I’d like to commend Kyle for his excellent service — he made sure we had everything we needed and assisted us attentively throughout our meal. We ordered Watermelon Sparerib Sinigang, Crispy Sisig, Gising-Gising, Inihaw na Pusit, Chicken Skewer, and Puto Bumbong. The Sinigang was very tasty and unique, though the beef was a bit tough and chewy. Everything else was really good. However, I’d like to give a small comment about the reception team. When we arrived, Julianne was on her cellphone reading social media comments before assisting us, and another staff member (I forgot his name) was chatting with his colleagues on break. No one attended to us or other waiting customers except for Kyle. Overall, everything else was fantastic — food, ambiance, and value for money. The place is perfect for families, and I’ll definitely come back to try more of their dishes.

Got the chance to dine at Manam thanks to a friend who treated us — and I’m so glad I got to try it! The food definitely lives up to the hype. Classic Filipino dishes done really well, with a comforting, homey feel but also a bit of a modern twist. I especially loved how flavorful everything was, and the portion sizes were just right for sharing. The ambiance was lively yet cozy, and service was smooth even though the place was quite busy. Would definitely recommend Manam if you’re looking for Filipino comfort food that hits the spot!

Manam is probably the hottest Filipino restaurant in metro manila. Almost every branch has queues during lunch and dinner. I'm actually impressed and amazed at how they've managed to scale up their operations. This branch is fairly new and is quite large. I like how it's got its own toilet. Staff are a attentive and helpful. The food was good though I thought the palabok was not flavourful enough.

We dined here earlier and all I can say was we are extremely delighted with our experience! Food rating are as follows: Baby Squid in Olive Oil - 1000/10 Beef short ribs sinigang sa pakwan - 9/10 Crispy Pata - 1000/10 Pako (Fern) Salad- 10/10 Buro - 1000/10* *(I ask if they have a separate order of buro but there is none, but Sir Bry, the manager on duty where gracious enough to offer me a complimentary Buro which I greatly appreciated!) Service - topnotch! They were very hospitable and extremely helpful all the time! 1000/10 Ambiance - 100/10 gices you a homie yet classy and vibrant feels! Kudos to everyone! I hope you maintain your topnotch service and food quality! PS: we are only 2.5 pax (2 adults and 1 child) when we dine so we order small servings only but to my estimate, it is already good for 2-3 persons!

Agree to their claim of the comfort food. Although a foreigner, I am happy to enjoy the local Filipino food here. I suggest you try too ^^
