    This is the inside of Manami King with table service.

    Nice place, good food and large portions. Pay cash and you get a discount. What an idea..

    Tina S.

    First time to try this place!!! No regrets!!! We were craving for flavorful Filipino dishes and this is the perfect spot for us. We got tokwa't baboy, lechon kawali, and manami king chicken plus java rice!!! Everything was perfect. Service was fast and friendly! Gelli is warm and attentive to our needs. We will come back! There is also a private parking lot.

    I saw that the name of this restaurant changed from Mami King to Manami King,, I came by to check it out and ordered the same dish I usually order here, Special Mami and pork Asado siopao, It was the same, I was told that they have a new owner and changed the name around sept of 2025., everything remained the same, same staff,, streamlined menu, the place is cleaner. The waitress was nice, friendly and professional, service was quick and my order was prepared for me quickly,

    Authentic Chinese Filipino cuisine. Super delicious noodle dishes, siopao and dimsum. Small restaurant but delivers in taste. Definitely worth checking out. Reasonable prices too. Huge portions very good for sharing.

    Ordered chicken mami and bola bola. Nice local spot. Great to pick up some chicken Mami for cold and rainy days. It is a small location with just enough tables. Service is always friendly and hospitable. Thank you!

    Crispy Pata
    Kyle K.

    With God as my witness, I proclaim that this was the best crispy Pata I've ever had. Some places will overcook it causing the inner meat to be hard and chewy but not here!Outside is perfectly crispy, fat nicely rendered, and the inner meat is perfectly tender, moist, and flavorful. Everything is seasoned so well. It's surprisingly not oily greasy at all. The woman at the counter who picked up my calls and packed my order was also very sweet and kind. As a meat snob, I give this meal a 5/5 star rating and can't want to order this again. If you've never had crispy Pata before, get this with friends and make sure to eat it with vinegar!

    I just want to say that I am mad! Mad at myself for not knowing about this amazing place before and mad at any of my friends that knew of it but didn't share. Those of you who know me know that I LOVE Filipino food. Now onto the most important part of this post. The staff and the owners have such an immense sense of gratitude for each and every one of their customers and a pride in what they serve that is visible. This is the kind of place you want to come and support while enjoying some of the most INCREDIBLE food!!! Now I have been working in restaurants since the late 90's on and off. I helped open a few restaurants and even worked with a Chef icon. So when I tell you the crispy pata I had today was one of the most delicious things I have ever devoured, believe it. From the crispy skin to the succulent meat that hugged the bone, I was in absolute food heaven!!! I know my reviews are wordy but honestly to try and describe absolute perfection takes some words. I give you my word that this is the place to go!

    A quaint spot serving cozy Filipino food.Where I live there's not many Filipino restaurants, so when I was in the area I had to stop by. Mama king has great specials for a small or large group. They have all the favorites like lumplang Shanghai, Lechon Kawali, chicken adobo& Pancit Bihon, just to name a few. The food here has always been seasoned well and cooked perfectly. If you're looking for fast authentic Filipino food look no further. Staff is super friendly too.

    Our favorite Chicken Noodle Mami, Beef Noodle Mami and Siomai place here in the San Fernando Valley is Mami King. They simply have the best noodles. Their soups and noddles are perfect for this time of the year especially during the holiday season to keep us warm. The Chicken Noodle Mami is flavorful and has plenty of chicken both white meat and dark meat. It has lots of greens. The noodles are packed separately in plastic. It's up to you how much noodles you want to put in your soup container. One order is $10.95. The Siomai comes in 3 pieces for 1 order of $4.95. The Siomai is also good to try. It comes with lemon (form of liquid), soy sauce and hot sauce on the side so it's up to you to make and mix your own sauce depending on how you like it. Customer service here is always excellent and consistent. The sweet lady at the counter remembers me and would make sure every time to check with me regarding peanut, tree nut and sesame seed food allergies and cross contamination. Thank you so much Mami King always!

    Had lunch here, and we ordered the family meal for $38 which included a Kare kare, pancit bihon and rice and siomai. You can choose a different combination of your choice from the menu. Service was so surprisingly quick! We're just wondering if they are either pre cooked earlier or from yesterday's (hoping it's not). The pancit taste very good especially with the fried crispy pork. Kare kare is ok , i had better from another filipino resto, though the meat was very tender, the color is not your usual orangy sauce, this one is brownish in color. I like that there a lot of veggies in it. The 3 pc siomai is also ok. Lacks the umami flavor we're looking for. There was only 1 server when we came, but she was able to managed a good service. Friendly staff. Will we come back or not? Yes we'll come back and try the mami and siopao and their savory chicken which they are famous for. Place is small and clean. The airconditioning was great! 3 stars for now...

    If you're ever craving some Filipino Food, this little hole in the wall will satisfy those cravings! The people working here are so nice and I just love supporting my fellow Filipinos in the Valley. The place isn't very big but the menu has everything from Siomai, Siopao, Pancit to Lechon Kawali! On this visit, we ordered the Chicken Mami, Pork Asado Siopao, Arroz Caldo, Tokwa't Baboy & Siomai! All were very good! If you haven't tried this place yet you have to because it's a hidden gem! My wife loved it so we will definitely be back! :)

    My husband has been craving Mami King since last Sunday so we're back in Panorama City to get his fix. :) We arrived just as they opened and were happily welcomed in. Our server brought menus, utensils and napkins as we got seated, then took our drink order. I was surprised when my husband asked for Sago & Gulaman -- he would normally just take sips out of mine. I didn't realize he liked it so much that he didn't want to share anymore, lol. For our lunch we chose our usual favorites -- beef mami, deep fried chicken, siomai and siopao. Everything was so, so good, nostalgic and so, so satisfying. Service is quick and polite every time we come here. The food never disappoints. Located in a small plaza, parking can get tough. But we've been coming here for years. It hasn't stopped us yet.

    Who says Filipino food can't be considered fine dining? Chef Josh Espinosa is showcasing how the…read moredishes we're accustomed to can be prepared with an elevated approach. Sampa is located in the Arts District near the intersection of S Hewitt St and E 5th right next to Urth Cafe. There's a parking lot directly across the street from the restaurant but you can also park around the corner by Arts District Park for $5. If it's your first time visiting Sampa, you have to be open minded towards the concept itself. Yes, the dishes here are smaller in portion and costs more than your typical fast casual spot. All the servers here are attentive and offer to help with what to order if you're unsure. For dinner, the Crispy Pasta is their take on crispy pata but served with spinach tagliatelle. The crab fat fried rice is a no brainer and depending on the night you come, I highly recommend the Sinigang xiaolongbao special. You don't have to be Filipino to appreciate what Sampa is doing for the culture, just come by and see for yourself.

    Sampa Restaurant…read more This is a review for my experience having brunch at Sampa Restaurant. Sampa specializes in Filipino dishes. "Sampa" is short for sampaguita which is the national flower of the Philippines. WORDS TO DESCRIBE SAMPA: Elevated dining, speakeasy vibes, quality food and service PARKING: Parking can be difficult since it is close to the Arts District, you may want to park in the Public Parking Lot areas FOOD: Lechon fried rice: This dish was exquisite! I loved all of the colors in the rice, which include the fried pork belly, the golden egg yolks, and the pigments of the atchara (atchara: pickled vegetables such as papaya, scallions, and carrots). When I took my first bite of the fried rice, the blend of all of them together was scrumptious! Yes order this dish! 5/5 STEAKSILOG: I would order just the steak alone! The skirt steak was savory, juicy, and mouthwatering! Yummy! 4.5/5 Kare Kare Tamales: This dish was delicious! Kare Kare is one of my favorite Filipino dishes, so when I saw it paired with tamales I was immediately intrigued. The presentation was beautiful. The flavor was rich and unique. The oxtail was tender and the peanut sauce paired well with the savoriness. 4/5 CHICKEN AND PANDAN WAFFLE: This plate was their take on chicken and waffles. The pandan flavor was there, but I wish the waffle was thick, instead it had a crispy thin cookie like texture. 3.5/5 DRINKS: Bartender has skills! Beauty in the booze! I appreciated the artistry in creating our beverages. I loved the details of the flowers and layers of color. Cheers! All in all I had a great time eating at Sampa! I loved the food and service! Maraming Salamat! Sobrang Sarap!

    The Kare Kare from Spoon & Pork is nothing short of a warm, comforting hug in a bowl…read more When the dish arrived at my table, I was immediately drawn to its rich, golden peanut sauce -- smooth and fragrant, with a roasted nuttiness that made my mouth water before I even took a bite. Nestled in the sauce were vibrant, perfectly cooked vegetables: tender bok choy, slightly charred green beans, and slices of eggplant that had soaked up all the savory depth of the stew. At the heart of the dish lay generous chunks of beef -- fork-tender, deeply flavored, with just enough fat to melt into the sauce and give it that rich, silky mouthfeel Kare Kare is known for. Sprinkled over the top were crunchy bits, adding a satisfying contrast to every spoonful. Of course, the small side of bagoong (fermented shrimp paste) was essential -- a modest dollop transformed each bite, balancing the sweetness and creaminess of the peanut sauce with a punch of briny intensity. Paired with steaming garlic rice, every scoop felt like the perfect blend of textures and flavors, a true homage to the Filipino classic. Eating Spoon & Pork's Kare Kare felt both nostalgic and elevated -- the heart and soul of a traditional comfort food presented with an eye for freshness and balance. It's the kind of dish that makes you slow down, savor each bite, and immediately start planning your next visit.

    4.5 stars. Sorry,…read moreguys - I'm still catching up on my reviews and am kicking myself for failing to write this before Spoon & Pork permanently shut its doors. This was an unforgettable eatery. During our trip to Los Angeles in May, 2023, Wendell invited Jay, Z and me to meet up with Veda and him for a late lunch at 2 PM at one of their favourite Filipino restaurants, Spoon & Pork, on Sunday, the 7th. Spoon & Pork, which originated as a food truck, was a restaurant that specialized in Filipino comfort food with a contemporary twist. They offered a fresh, inventive fusion of the flavours of the Philippines with modern sophistication. Nestled in the vibrant heart of Los Angeles' Silver Lake neighbourhood, Spoon & Pork was a cozy boutique eatery on bustling Sunset Boulevard that greeted guests with a neon pig sign at their front entrance. No private lot on this busy street, so finding nearby parking was a bit challenging and although the charming spot offered both indoor and al fresco dining, seating was also limited. The tropical-inspired dining room with warm wood accents created an effortlessly cool and relaxed atmosphere that felt both modern and rooted in tradition. Upon entry, guests were welcomed by the aroma of sizzling meats and fragrant spices which alluded to the culinary journeys to come. The food at Spoon & Pork wasn't exactly what one's nanay (mom) or lola (grandma) would cook. Celebrating fresh takes on the richness of Filipino cuisine, the menu was an invitation to indulge in unexpected, compelling twists on a thoughtfully curated selection of traditional dishes, infusing familiar flavours into new forms. Below are what we ordered: beef tapa ($25) - MASARAP (DELICIOUS)! Of all the dishes that we ordered, this was the winner of them all as the succulent meat packed a punch of flavour. adobo tofu ($14) - One of Wendell's regular orders, this notable plant-based option, was a tasty, innovative take on the Philippine classic that balanced tradition with modern creativity. laing ($9) - From their platito, small plates section, this bowl of coconut braised taro leaves was rich and creamy deliciousness, but, yes, mini in portion size. garlic rice ($4/$7) - Ordering the garlic rice over plain jasmine rice was a no brainer. Thoroughly infused with the savouriness of the many bits of garlic, this rice perfectly paired with all of the other dishes. bistek ($28) - The skirt steak was very tender and the sauce perfectly balanced the tanginess from the calamansi juice with the savoury soy sauce. lechon kawali ($23) - Another reimagined classic dish featuring crispy, golden pork belly with crunchy skin and tender, flavourful meat inside. The dish was complemented by a tangy, pickled red cabbage that enhanced the crispy texture and added a refreshing contrast. This mastery of flavour and texture tickled Z's tastebuds and won him over. Before this day, Z was never a fan of Filipino food. Everything tasted boldly rich and every bit intensely intoxicated our taste buds. Service was quick, friendly, and attentive. What a remarkably epicurean feast and delightful experience we enjoyed! We're super bummed that Spoon & Pork permanently closed shoppe. Z and I were hoping to return for another tasty meal. Truly, a worthy spot this place was to hit up for an impressively creative taste of the Philippines in Los Angeles.

    It doesn't get better than crispy pata and lumpia! As a…read moreFilipina who thinks my mom's cooking is the best, Spoon and Pork is one of the only places in LA that I will gladly eat at for Filipino food! We got their: Lumpia Shanghai Crispy Patita Beef Tapa Silog Lechon Tacos Garlic Rice The table next to us got The Patita and we NEEDED to get it, and it was soooo worth it! The skin was perfectly crispy, and the meat inside was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor from the tangy sauce they glazed in the outside. It was great with a side of garlic rice, and their lumpia Shanghai is a must get appetizer. Their lechon tacos had the perfect amount of acidity and their tapsilog was so tender and was topped with two sunny side up eggs. This was the perfect amount for three people with more than enough leftovers to take home. When you come in your seat yourself, order everything from a QR code, pay for your meal and wait for everything to come out! I wish they still had servers since I prefer that while dining out, and the majority of everything is self serve now, but it makes for a quick lunch/dinner if needed. Highly recommend stopping by!

    A while back, I saw a video of a grip of gen z Fil-Ams talking about how this was their go to spot…read morefor Filipino foods. A lot of them said they fux with the sinigang. Color me confused because I had never heard of her. What rock have I been living under that I'd never heard of this place? So, early one Saturday, I pulled up with my sister from another mister to get our breakfast on. First of all, tell me why they're basically down the street from me. They've been around as long as I've been alive and not once had I been. Truly a shock considering my commitment with never making food at home. I stay eating outside. There was only one other group of diners while we were there. A family of 4 who were seated in the back room. We ended up being seated in the area facing Fountain. My first comment was how I felt like I was at my Lola's house because the decor was giving Lola vibes, in the best way. I felt like I was home. My friend got the laing meal and I got the tocino. We also got a side order of the sweet & spicy longanisa. Broooooooooooooo That food was wow. I'm gonna say it again - it tasted like home. Down to the fixins on the table like vinegar and suchas. I appreciated all the little touches. We ate so much yet still had so much leftovers. Their portion size was crazy. We would've been good with just one meal and another protein a la carte. We also got a small bowl of their arroz caldo. Let me tell you something, a single tear legit went down my left cheek. That tasted like what my mom made for me when she was still with us. The memories that came flooding back took me on a rollercoaster of emotions. We did order their famous empanada that never came. We had to remind our server that he never dropped it off. I'm not sure why he didn't double check if we still wanted them which we did. We would've obviously paid for them. Despite that they're getting all the stars from me because the food was fire and their drinks were 10/10. I got the Maria Clara. They also allow two free refills so that's a double win. I'm about to pull up every weekend. Take all my monies.

    Came in on Saturday around lunch time and got seated immediately. The ambiance of the restaurant…read morewas really nice. I loved the decor of the back of each seat with different kinds of birds! It was my first time trying this restaurant so with a group of 4, we were able to get a good spread of food. Definitely had to get the calamansi drink! It was so refreshing. The fried dishes such as the daing bangus, lumpia and buchon were hot and crispy. I liked the kare kare vegetables, i was never a fan of oxtail but liked the flavor of the stew. It was my first time trying pork sisig and I really liked it when it was hot and fresh. As time passed, I didnt like the texture. I thought the adobo was meh, Overall had a good time with filipino dishes with decently good prices!
