    3.8 Tried their new brunch menu, I ordered the longanisa sandwich and ube cinnamon bun. The sandwich was good, the eggs were fluffly and the sauce complimented the ingredients well. The filling to bun ratio was perfect. The ube cinnamon bun was good but did not taste like ube just a purple cinnamon bun. It was a pretty casual setting, just a tad loud. Not sure if I would try again

    I came out to try Manong twice. The first time around was when they were still relatively new and it was definitely more crowded. During my first time, I tried the dynamite lumpia, chicken skewer, beef stick tagalog skewers, and lechon baka with a side of garlic rice (which truly felt like a boy dinner). The second time around, I ordered the dynamite lumpia (again), bloom shroom, lechon liempo, and manong's bistek with a side of garlic rice. I absolutely lovedddd everything the second time around. The bloom shroom was a bit hard to eat and was quite oily but worth it (especially the sauce). The steak was so delicious with the picked onions and fresnos, and the pork belly was so crispy and honestly...the pairing with the garlic rice was just perfect. I was so full by the end of the meal and didn't get to try the dessert, but I'll surely be back. The service felt a bit slower the second time around as the waiters switched after we were seated and it took a bit to get our orders in, but at the end of the day, I think the food really made up for it.

    This is solely for their new addition of cafe hours. I got the iced pandan latte and ube cinnamon roll. Both were soooo good. The pandan is a syrup. I LOVE the Pandan flavor so it was perfect. The ube latte looked good maybe I'll try that next time. They're starting breakfast/brunch menu in April from what the person at the register was saying. Plenty of seating and they have WiFi so potentially a good spot to read or work but it does get a little loud

    I ate here this past Friday night and had a fabulous experience! The restaurant definitely reminded me of an outback which I know is the goal. The Ube cocktail was amazing and came in a really cute coconut glass. We started with the Bloom Shroom and the Lumpia which was especially amazing. For entrees we got the port belly, snapper, and a burger and shared all of them. I really have no complaints about any of them they were all delicious. We ended with some delicious ube ice cream! I will definitely be back.

    Had an awesome time here a few weeks back A little pricey but well worth the price of admission All the food we had from the apps to mains to dessert was super flavorful and the drinks were delicious Would happily come back on a special occasion

    Make a reservation fast! This place is so good! It's such a vibe. Diner meets Applebees meets Denny's meets Philly! (This place feels so Philly!) All the nostalgia you could possibly want! And the food is top tier in all categories! I must admit. I love Tabachoy and when I learned that the chef/owner was opening a new restaurant in Fairmount, my friend and I waited until they opened the doors and were on a reservation right away! This is their second week and they are already killing it! The servers are on top of things, they have flavorful cocktails and the food? Delicious! Please order the bloomin shroom! Crispy and delicious and dip it in the salsa rosada! You should try the lechon liempo! This crispy pork belly in the sauce is so delicious! So much flavor! And Chef and owner Chance Anies brings his expertise and personal touch to both of his restaurants as he makes his way around tables and takes time to chat with the diners. This matters. He creates community with his restaurants and is so personable. It adds to the beautiful food. By the way, I used to have a rule that I would not drink blue cocktails. I broke that rule at Manong and indulged in the marg...bright blue and delicious. This is a great place. Come here.

    Pretty cool bar. Very dark inside and all the concrete in there makes it's pretty loud. The bartender was very nice. The drinks were alright. The ube cocktail was our favorite. The blooming shroom has a really weird after taste and there's never enough sauce in that little cup for the entire thing. The pork was okay. The star of the show had to be the squash dish, that was delicious. I had just hoped the food would've been better for all the hype.

    This is a casual neighborhood. We want happy hours with a community vibe. This is not it. Food is fine but overpriced.

It's a nice little corner stall with some stool and countertop seating which is a life saver especially when it comes to seating in the market. Staff is friendly and always willing to help you choose a dish or make a decision on what to eat. I ordered the pancit. It was a generous helping! It also has a nice savory sauce to it, which unlike many pancit dishes if you've had it before, don't usually have. It was filling and delicious. Lots of noodles topped with ground pork, veggies and eggs. I also ordered the BBQ Skewers. First bite and I knew I already loved it! Juicy and tender meat. Nice glaze and char served with a side of rice to compliment the robust flavor. Will definitely make an effort to stop in again especially to try some other traditional Filipino dishes especially breakfast!

I didn't try the lumpia, but heard it was pretty good. The Ube ice cream is a must try. I can't really explain exactly what it tastes like, mildly sweet with a touch of vanilla would be my closest comparison. The woman who took our order was also very nice and helpful with all of our questions.

    This is a unique experience. Not for everyone. I highly recommend it!!…read more Coming from NJ, It's not very noticeable when walking up at night and not being familiar with the neighborhood. It's not a bad thing. Just very nondescript. It's a small place but I love what they did with this concept. It's unique and I wish them much success!! This is a set Kayamanan menu. No substitutions or accommodations. The food is plentiful and delicious. The garlic rice has a nice rich flavor. The vegetables are in a coconut milk sauce. It's flavorful but a little too heavy for my liking. The chicken was probably my favorite then the pompano fish. The chicken skin was crispy and the meat was moist. The fish was cooked perfectly. Crispy skin and flaky fish. The pork belly!! Not really my thing but it was on the meatier side than expected. Loved it!!! The highlight for me was the lumpia. I never had it before but now I need this in my life! Is this the best out there? I have no idea but they are now on my list of favorite things!!!! Due to my allergies I couldn't have the dessert, which is a chocolate and nut thing. The server was so gracious and brought me one of the pre-dinner sweet rolls. Then a coconut gelatin dessert. It was totally unnecessary but greatly appreciated!!

A little pricy for what it was ~$70 per person after tax and tip All of the proteins were very well cooked - fish was flaky and moist, the chicken was extreme tender. And the lumpia and pork belly were both crispy and well seasoned. All the sauces were extremely delicious Only downside was the balance - far too much rice in relation to the amount of vegetable curry and protein and neither of these were particularly flavorful The interior was also pretty small although service was attentive If they improved a little on the flavor of their carbs and curry base and provided a little more value for the cost I think this would have been a knockout meal

In the daytime, the place functions as a cafe, where guests often come to catch up with friends or study/work. At night, the place transforms into a cozy, intimate space to enjoy a nice meal with friends and loved ones. Ample seating is available on both floors, ranging from tables for 8-10, counter seating, and smaller tables for smaller tables for 2-4. PARKING Paid street parking is available at a limited capacity.

Went with a group of about 7 or 8 and it was very difficult to get seating. The time you walk through the door, order your food, and to receive it will take quite a while. By 11:30 on Saturday, they have to stop people from walking in and wait outside until the line inside shortened. For anyone looking for the most authentic Filipino food, this is not the place. With that said, the food is still good. It has a Filipino flare, with a modern, for the masses, feel. Would try the place, but not frequently.
