    Shumai as served
    Michael M.

    Pretty much the very definition of comfort food. Was in the mood for some down the earth mami and a siopao after the Long Beach Antique Market and Mami King is the place I'll make a trek to if I'm close enough to it. The lovely ate at the counter sat us and got our drinks while we decided. We ordered two pork adaso, an order of shumai, one beef wonton and one lechon mami. Everything came out pretty quick and ate checked on us from time to time to make sure everything was good. A little slow when we arrived around the early afternoon but people constantly picked up orders. Decent space for the little restaurant. Still tastes the same as I remember.

    Birthday celebration of Fr Bryan
    Corazon M.

    We have been coming here for years, not just dining in but also ordering party trays. The servers and all the employees are super nice. We celebrated Fr Bryan's birthday there last night and they decorated the place. Our servers, Carmelita and Liz were very kind and hospitable. Food was great especially the fried chicken, my favorite, because it reminds me of Savory chicken that we always eat when we used to live in Manila. I will highly recommend them to all my friends.

    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.

    We had a great experience at Mami King in Carson! The chicken was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The lomi was rich, hearty, and packed with flavor--definitely one of the best we've had. A special shoutout to Ate Lita for being so warm, friendly, and accommodating. She made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived and provided excellent service throughout our visit. Highly recommended! We'll definitely be coming back.!

    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!

    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!

    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 .

    Raw wonton
    Hannah N.

    Mami King has always been our go-to for beef wonton mami and siopao, but I had to lower my rating to 3 stars. Last week we ordered takeout and the wonton was raw. Even after reheating, it was still undercooked. We were really disappointed and had to throw them away. Hoping this was just an off day and it won't happen again.

    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?

    Today's my first time trying Manila's Lechon in Carson. I came here on a warm Sunday afternoon for…read morelunch. There is enough space for both groups and solo dining. The tables were well kept and I felt welcome upon dining here. There is also plenty of parking at the shopping plaza. Props to the lady who was very kind, welcoming and patient upon taking my order. I opted for a two-item combo with rice, tocino and laing. My order was slightly below $16 and they also take card. The laing was not spicy but truly savory, not dry and flavorful. (Beware: you'll always need to pair laing with the provided steamed rice). The tocino was pretty tender and sweet. The chicken tinola was truly comforting and tasty. I'll be back again at Manila's Lechon whenever I'm in the Carson area.

Affirmative but they were out of eggs and they had a fried rice with scrambled eggs bits available. Not a concern and was curious to try to their sausage (longanisa) and pork tocino. Brought these home for brunch for me and the hubby. Amazing! I'm not a regular here but for me this is more of a to-go place. It is a small cafeteria type vibe. The older ladies taking the orders and cashiering are super sweet. Great experience overall. 4 stars!

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 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
