My sister and I spent 3 weeks in the Philippines and everyone was recommending us to going to this restaurant. And let me tell you, it don't disappoint. Their service was great (all three times), and everything came out in a timely fashion. When I tell you they get busy, it's BUSY. People will line up for this place, but it's worth it. We love the at home feel inside when dining in. As for the food, it was very good. We did try the watermelon sinigang, it was a bit on the sweet side. Not like your traditional sinigang but if you like sweet, it's for you. Overall, when my family travels to the Philippines again, bet believe we're going to Manam

This was the very first place we visited after being away from the Philippines for more than 18…read moreyears, and it did not disappoint. Everything about our experience was excellent. The restaurant has a classy, well-thought-out atmosphere with authentic Filipino charm. I ordered the Fried Pla-Pla fish, which looked incredibly appetizing and tasted even better. I also tried the Pork Sisig, served on a sizzling plate, and it was outstanding. The combination of textures, flavors, and presentation made it a real standout dish. If I had one minor criticism, it would be that the service was a bit slow. However, that was easily outweighed by the quality of the food and the overall experience. Highly recommend this place, and we'll definitely come back if we have the chance.

Dropped into Quezon City for a bit and decided to have lunch nearby. We ended up at a place called…read moreLola Ote--and damn, am I glad we did. From the moment you crack open the menu, you know what you're getting: no gimmicks, just real-deal Filipino comfort food, with a nod to the streets via a proud offering of isaw. We went for the classics--nilaga, lechon kawali, grilled tuna belly, Java rice, garlic rice, and pork BBQ. Heavy hitters, all of them. I don't usually go for huge portions, but here? Resistance was pointless. Every bite hit like a memory you didn't know you had. The ambiance walks a fine line: traditional roots with just enough of a modern pulse to remind you where you are. Nothing sterile, nothing fake. Just good food and good people. The staff? Polite, attentive--like they actually give a damn. This is the kind of place I'd come back to without hesitation. No pretense. Just food that tells you a story. Lola Ote--my new favorite go-to in the Philippines.

We ended up pivoting to the lunch menu, and it turned out to be a great decision. The standout dish was the Pork Barbecue. It had the perfect balance of sweetness and savory flavor, and the meat was cooked just right. The Inihaw na Tenga ng Baboy (Grilled Pig Ears) was equally delicious, featuring the same excellent seasoning and smoky flavor in a different cut of pork. The Inihaw na Liempo (Grilled Pork Belly) was another winner, tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. We also enjoyed the "Bakuran" Salad, a refreshing combination of local vegetables, salted egg, and alamang (shrimp paste) that complemented the grilled dishes nicely. A special shoutout to our server, Joy, who was incredibly friendly and attentive. She got us seated quickly, and our food arrived even faster. The restaurant itself is clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully decorated, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Overall, it was an excellent dining experience. We'll definitely be back and would happily recommend this place to friends and family.

I liked the sweet sauce for the lumpiang gabi at hipon. The gambas were flavorful, just enough garlic and hot kick. The pork liempo paksiw was so tender and flavorful. The pansit musiko was tasty. The pistachio and cashew sylvanas were a light way to end the meal. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Manila!

The wait staff were pretty efficient even when it was quite busy day serving other customers. Food was tabled in less than 20 mins at a busy time. Surprisingly pricing at this level of experience is very reasonable. I was expecting to pay more for what I ordered but ended up paying less. One thing I'd like to comment about is their private function rooms. If you had any particular celebration for a small cozy crowd, their function rooms can accommodate up to 12 people. And if that's not enough you can have the rooms expanded further. Loads of Parking on the front and side of the building. Very convenient since they have parking attendants to guide you.

The halo-halo was the standout for me--really hit the spot and perfect for the weather. The palabok was very generous with the sauce, which I appreciated, though flavor-wise it wasn't especially memorable for me since I've had better elsewhere. The sisig on rice was okay, but I wish there was a bit more sisig compared to the amount of rice. The place was packed though, so clearly a lot of people keep coming back for a reason. I'd still be open to returning and trying some of their other ulam next time.
