Update----Great Food and Sweet Staff! We came in today after celebrating Independence Day since this place is so close from Veterans Park. We ordered the miki-bihon, bola-bola (both to eat here and some to take home), goto, and lomi. The food is really good! On top of that, the service is excellent--the girls working there are so accommodating and sweet. Highly recommend! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

There are not many places that sell halo halo made at the time of order.. this place included. Halo halo is not made to order and taste like the fridge food or storage which is not good. Not sure how the food is but it looks like an older spot and the lady behind the counter did not understand much of what we were asking so we ended up saying salamat and leaving. Next time! read more

We love coming back here. Aside from good food, people are friendly and very welcoming. Till next time

I've been here more than a few times, and the food holds steady, honest, consistent, and the kind of authentic that doesn't need to shout. The noodle soup, the kind locals call Mami, is the bowl you want when the world feels heavy, and the steamed bun...siopao is comfort in its simplest, most satisfying form. What seals the deal is the human touch: the server who greets me every time, remembers my words, and treats me not like a stranger, but like someone who belongs at the table. read more

This is one of the local Filipino restaurants with your typical comfort food. They've been here for years and my family has been going here for years, as well. If you're looking for comfort food that tastes like home then this is it! Really solid, especially when it's cold or rainy days. Their mamis just hits the spot! My recommendations are the, palabok, siopaos, spaghetti and their beef & chicken mami. Their service is always so welcoming, with a fair wait time from when you order to getting your food. The actual restaurant is pretty clean and looks taken care of. I definitely recommend it to anybody who's craving delicious "homemade " style Filipino food! read more

Best noodle soup in town, a must have. Staff are really friendly. Highly recommend Filipino food in Carson.

Wow... The service here is absolutly phenomenal. Especially the food, if you're in Carson, I would recommend you try their MK chicken plate.

I like the siopao here. I recommend this place, the service here is top notch as well! If you're in Carson, I would highly recommend this place! read more

If you are looking for the best siapao for your money, this is the place to go. If you're wondering what a siapao is, the best way to describe it is a meat bun. I don't eat pork so this is where I get chicken siapao. This little hole in the wall place has a really nice staff of people who start to know you if you go often like I do. Lol You definitely have to try this place out. read more

Best lomi in Cali! Great service and quickly served. The food feels like home! Very much recommend if you want good authentic Filipino food.

Food, service and ambiance are good. Food are good. Highly recommended. We love the place.

Customer service was great, but unfortunately the food was very disappointing. It was very bland and overpriced. Each bowl costs $13, which is totally not worth it. The quality has definitely gone downhill. It seems like they may have changed their cook because the food used to be good. Now it feels like a waste of money, which might explain why the place wasn't busy. read more

Marketed as serving Filipino Chinese cuisine, Mami King serves a variety of Filipino classics, for both dine-in and carry-out. We found it ideal for a family style mean, sampling a variety of delicious dishes on a Wednesday afternoon. Mami King is located in a small strip mall, in the heart of Filipino town in the city of Carson in the South Bay of Los Angeles County. There are A LOT of Filipino restaurants in the area, so chose one that I haven't been before. We came before it opened at 11 am, so was able to find parking in the shared strip mall lot. It is a sit-down restaurant where a server will come to you with menus, utensils, and water. The menu reminds me more of chowking (chinese restaurant found in Seafood city supermarkets) than a typical filipino point-point restaurant, with noodle soup dishes, arroz caldo (filipino rice porridge), and siopao...rather than typical barbeque. We were a group of three, so ordered dishes to share and the hostess was receptive enough to bring extra bowls and plates for us to use. Chicken Arroz Caldo $8.50 -rice porridge. was the right consistency, and topped with dark meat chicken and fried tofu. I really liked this dish, and would be something perfect for breakfast (and when you are not feeling well). It had a healthy scoop of toasted garlic...thinking this might be one of the best uses of dried garlic, in congee. Siopao $3.75 each - got one pork and one chicken (marked with a red dye on the surface). They were large size (I think two of them would fill someone up. It had been freshly steamed. Chicken & Wonton - $12.95 - a good dish to have for lunch, it came with thin egg noodles (basically like saimin...one of the most inexpensive noodles one can get). The broth was very thin, most likely made from powder. It did come with good shrimp wontons and the strips of dark meat chicken and fresh napa cabbage and green onions made the dish hearty enough to eat my itself. Miki Bihon - $14.75 - mix of egg and rice noodles, it had been freshly prepared and was topped with a generous strip of really good lechon. A really good version of pancit, and one that you would be proud to bring over for a pot luck. They do accept credit card for totals over $10, but they clearly indicate that they can not accept tip as part of it. Not sure why. So we had to scramble a bit to find cash, which we managed to do. Our waitress boxed up our leftovers nicely, and we were on our way. read more

The best classic Filipino-Chinese restaurant. Get the siopao, it's like Ma Mon Luk. All the pansit are good too. The servers are very friendly. read more

The manapua has changed in taste. it's ok will i be back maybe. And the service was slow. Even though i was just a walk up order.

I've been a customer my whole life and have been coming here since the late 90s. I don't live in the area anymore and drive 12 hours down here to see family! Everytime I come, Ate Lita is there to serve me with a smile. Today I was able to bring my kids here to share this place with the next generation. I've never been disappointed! If you're paying with a card, bring cash as a tip is my only advice! read more

Quality has gone down... like way down. They've had their solid run, and should think about closing shop.

If you're craving authentic Filipino comfort food Mami King is a must-visit.

The portions were generous, prices reasonable, and service was attentive without being overbearing. The ambiance had a relaxed, homey feel perfect for casual dining. read more
