For a place that was so busy, surprisingly, it wasn't too noisy and we were able to carry out a conversation. The staff was very attentive, and it seemed like we had multiple people serving us Like most groups, we dined family style. We shared everything that we ordered and every dish was scrumptious. Three of us reside overseas so we were all looking frward to authentic Filipino foods. This place rose to the occasion. The standout was the fish that was filleted and deep-fried, and spread out like a butterfly so it was easy to take a piece off. The fish was cooked perfectly, that is, it wasn't overcooked like most fried fish dishes would be. All of us asked for fresh buko (coconut) juice servied in a whole coconut. However, the coconut was no longer young coconut that usually has soft meat that we can spoon up. instead, it was more "niyog" or mature coconut that needed to be cut up which the staff did for us.

It was very close to our hotel and one of the few sit downs that offer Filipino cuisine. The ambience is nice and air conditioned inside! The staff were friendly but took forever to take our orders, bring our drinks, and serve our food. The food was average. The portions were ridiculously small for the price. One order is approximately 750PHP but it's only good for 1 person. Not worth it if you want to share or try other "ulams" ... paid almost 5k PHP for 2 people.

Positives: Service was great indoors. They were very responsive. The food was exceptional. The decor was very home like. Negatives: Service outside was less to be desired. A long wait to get our orders taken, next to no follow up checking on customers for additional orders or beverages. The outdoor experience might have been an off day for the servers (hence the docking of 1 star) but the overall experience and amazing food left a positive impression of this restaurant. Loved the food. I will return when I have the chance!

On my last visit, I chose a porterhouse steak as my entrée. It came with corn pudding and creamed spinach. I ordered my steak cooked medium-rare, and it was cooked to my exact specification. The steak was nicely marbled and seasoned quite nicely. The portion size was large enough that even though I shared half of the dish with my friend, we could barely finish it. The corn pudding and creamed spinach sides were nicely presented, and went well with the steak. Other times, I've had several "small treasures" from their appetizer list, including crispy pork strips and palm spring rolls. Both of these dishes have interesting textures, nice flavor contrasts, and are served with both vinegar and hot/sweet chili sauce - delishous! Service at Mamou is both polite and attentive; I'll be back for sure :-)

Great service. My server was named Jobs, he did a great job…read more Steak was cooked correctly. My only gripe is the serving sizes of the sides. Could be better. The ambiance doesn't match the price or quality of the food either. Overall it was good tho.

The portion was moderate and it can feed 2 people. It was hot and crunchy and the sauce was pretty good. The pinakbet with pork liempo was awesome, please keep in mind that pinakbet in some regions are cooked without the sabaw (sauce). The eggplant was definitely fried. The bitter melon and the kombucha squash were steamed well. The pork was super crunchy!!! Please also note that one order of pinakbet will probably good for 2 people but I can definitely devour it on my own! The kare kare with crispy pork was also good. The sauce was slurry and not too thick. The string beans, banana heart (puso ng saging) and bok choy were steamed and cooked well. They were not soggy but crunchy. Also the eggplant was fried and added with the sauce. When you order kare kare it automatically comes with sautéed shrimp paste. This dish alone will probably feed 4 people. Overall the service was great, we did not wait long for the food, and we were seated right away since we arrived there around 11:45ish. The restaurant was clean and quite cozy. There's one bathroom for both genders. Total of all the meals including 1 sugarcane calamansi juice refill P1745.00 (also includes gratuity charges).

For us, Alab restaurant set Philippine cuisine on fire with their unfamiliar regional dishes and…read morespecially concocted desserts. Their food that made our love for Filipino food ablaze were the following: 1) Okoy (P125) - It has sweet potato and shrimps deep-fried until crisp to perfection, and topped with fresh spring onions and carrots. Eating it with the served sugarcane vinegar dip truly stimulated our appetites. 2) The Tinumok (P195) - It is coconut noodles wrapped in taro leaves but soaked in coconut cream and shrimp mixture. The added heat of the chili pepper made the chewy dish more uniquely delicious. 3) Pianggang (P 290) - It is perfectly grilled coconut-infused chicken topped with a special Tausug paste. We didn't know we'd want it until we tried it and the fresh vegetables added variety on its taste. 4) Alab's Fried Rice (195) - This is good for sharing. It has turmeric which its peppery and warm flavors were balanced with the shrimp, eggs, and spring onions. 5) New York Cubao Bibingka Cheesecake (P140) - It is a Filipino traditional rice cake that is sweet because of the tart base and cream of the New York-style cheesecake. But it is also, at the same time, salty because of the salted egg. We get to make its taste sweeter with the drizzled muscovado syrup on the side, and the grated coconut and cherry on top. 6) Laing Ice Cream (P100) - It is certainly for those who have a penchant for Bicol's spicy taro and coconut milk dish or simply has an adventurous taste bud. 7) Kamote Q (P100) - It pleases those who have a sweet tooth with the texture of sweet potato felt and the taste of caramelized brown sugar tasted in each spoon. Overall, Alab's passion for Filipino food tapped our unfamiliar fondness for Philippine culinary culture ablaze.
