    Philippine cuisine restaurant in Greenbelt 2. You can select the size of the plates, so it is good for the smaller number of customers as they can enjoy many menus. S size is appropriate for 2 pax.

    We got the chicken inasal skewers, sinigang salmon head and grilled squid. Generous serving of solo rice. For some reason though I didn’t enjoy the taste of the food. Maybe I was used to the good taste of my usual orders (which I didn’t get this time). Staff service was fantastic.

    This is a small branch of Manam - a restaurant that serves Filipino cuisine both the traditional way and the unorthodox way. Their use sago is my go-to dessert and is a must-try. The staff is also very accommodating and knowledgeable of their food.

    Ordered 5 items for PHP725. This place was highly recommended by my friends and colleagues. The staff was friendly. I told him this was the first time I’ve been in Philippines and I need some recommendations. He’s very nice to point out what’s popular. The food is good. Will visit again when I’m back in Philippines

    Great place to bring your foreign friends, you will never be disappointed with the quality of food. I would usually recommend their crispy pork sisig, beef sinigang with watermelon, and kare kare. Their pork kawali is just so-so. This place tends to be crowded during lunch and dinner, so better go during non-peak hours.

    Manam remains a favourite among Filipino restaurants. Since the time Asian fusion and Modern Filipino trended, it's been a while since an establishment hit the right note with our family. We always recommend Manam to friends taking out foreigner friends, and balikbayan relatives. I mean, it's nice treating them to crispy versions of sisig, gising gising, and palabok--where you get meat, vegetables, and carbs, all with a crispy texture. How about sweets? Go for ube sago palamig calamansi tart, and muscovado butter putobumbong. Then for the mains are real twists--sinigang beef short rib on watermelon, and sizzling corned beef belly. These just some of our family's favourites. They have plenty more to offer.

    Very tasty food, many Filipino comfort classics. Cold beers and attentive service. A big plus is that many of the dishes can be ordered in small portions meaning that one can try more different dishes in one meal.

    Second time in this restaurant, and still the service did not improve. The food also did not improve. It just stayed OK-ish. The pork bbq was so burnt, that some parts were not edible. Drinks came so late when we were almost finished eating. The tortang talong portion was really small compared to other restaurants. The bulalo saved the day. Maybe we got unlucky again.

    Superb Filipino dishes with a “twist.” Must try their Sinigang sa watermelon. Truly “mouth watering.” #MillionaireMakerRoadTrip

    To be honest this place was disappointing, having been recommended by a friend we had high hopes. We endured the 30 minute wait to get inside - as it was busy with locals we thought it would be worth it. We placed submitted our written order (tick box sheet) before being seated. Once inside we were waiting forever for any sort of service. We finally caught a waitresses attention and managed to get some water. The food came and wasn’t hot. We ordered a mixture of about 4/5 different dishes and most of them were bland/tasteless. They also got the order wrong, adding peanuts to dishes that were specifically requested without and sent two of one dish and less rice than ordered. I am not sure how they get this wrong considering the order is written down on a checklist form. One of the drinks we ordered came way after the meal was finished so we had to wait for it to be packaged in a takeaway container. To be completely honest I feel our treatment was lacking compared to other guests as we are tourists and therefore our service was neglected somewhat. We won’t be returning.

    The entire dining experience would have been more enjoyable if the service matched the quality of the dishes. We enjoyed everything we ordered except for the sizzling sisig (as replacement for another order which they failed to inform us was not available) which arrived last and was mostly made with pork cracklings and not much meat. Most of our orders arrived almost an hour after placing our orders. We had to ask for our drinks 5 times and not all of them were served even up to the time we finished eating. We can see other patrons stand up from their tables and had to go to the servers milling around where they place their orders which is exactly beside our tables. We can hear every complaint, follow-up, begging from their customers from missed orders, missing utensils, water, check, and even to take their orders. If you value your sanity better look for another restaurant to try these Filipino dishes. But if you have the patience of a saint then go ahead as you will enjoy their wide selection.

    Tried dining here for the first time only because a friend was eager to sample their watermelon sinigang and ube shake. I thought the sinigang was a bit sweet, when it's supposed to have a great balance of sweet salty and sour tastes. The ube Shake was okay, nothing special in Mt opinion. I like the ambience but other than that, I'm not sure if I should come back.

    Based on my experience, I think this place is overrated. They called the pancit canton "special," but for me, it's a weird pancit canton to have pumpkin and purple cabbage, very dry and bland pancit canton. The crispy pata would rate 2 star because it has a very crispy skin, juicy meat and tender, service is ok but lacking of customer service. They let us wait in very humid conditions outside when we asked a table upstairs, which had plenty of tables available. Until my husband came to make complaints for not letting us in upstairs, although it has plenty of empty tables. When upstairs in the air-conditioned room, there are plenty of flies. We ordered mango salad, but they served just peeled, removed the seed and sliced mango, and served with bagoong, a bad presentation for the amount P250. It's way out of our expectations. Never coming back, & never recommend.

    I was excited to try this place based on social media and reviews of this place. Given this was after Christmas, December 30, I expected it to be busy and it was. We were advised to sit outside to get a table immediately, which was a great idea at the time. We ordered the Plapla which is deep fried fish, Beef Kare Kare and white rice. I'll say this, the food arrived after a little wait but trying to get our server to attend to certain issues was difficult. The food looked delicious. We would find out that the bones of the Kare Kare were dangerously small that if not careful, you could swallow or choke on them. The fish was very boney as well. The food was ok but we've had better. The point was that while the food was acceptable, the restaurant staff were extremely over worked and understaffed. You could tell by the hustle and bustle. when we asked for the bill it took far too long to get this done and even more so to get them to process the payment. We won't be back.

    Nice location.. However Because it’s Christmas time the place is very much crowded. Not recommended for children and elderly folks since the Chairs and tables are tightly squeezed. Not enough space to have a relaxing meal. Also because of the crowd, the noise level is a bit high. One must need to yell in order to be served by the busy waiters. No separate restrooms for women and men. One must wait in line at a very narrow corridor. Food is delicious.. However take caution when eating the house crispy pork sisig. It is a bit of a struggle to bite and chew since the pork is cooked hard.. Again, not recommended for people who have poor teeth.. Nevertheless we enjoyed their shakes.. You must try the ube sago shake and the mango shake. Very delicious..

    (Translated by Google) It's reasonably delicious and there are quite a few, so this may be the best place to eat Filipino cuisine on a green belt. (Original) そこそこ美味しく、品数も結構多いので、グリーンベルトでフィリピン料理を食べるならここが一番いいかもしれない。

    Was glad to find a good local food restaurant at Greenbelt and the prices are very reasonable for the location. Is good that the menu is clear and you can view the description and prices for different portions at one go. Had a number of dishes and the House Crispy Sisig and Gising Gising stood out most. Sisig was a little oily if eaten later but the taste is good! The vegetable dish Gising Gising was nice as the coconut cream was not too thick and overpowering. The Black Squid Ink Sinangag was nice and adding the garlic sauce on top is a bonus. Chicken Inasal was nice as it was served hot when just cooked. The Crispy Pata and Garlicky Adobo was not too outstanding, but was just alright. The Drink was served with paper straw - cuts down on plastic use, but somehow it was abit difficult to drink as it gets softer over time and the glass was too long compared to straw length. Service was prompt; they still checked the vaxx records when enter. Overall happy to dine here, twice.

    We had an amazing lunch with my family here today. It was a good choice to celebrate my husband's birthday. We stayed outdoor so my toddler could run on the grassy part/park while waiting for the food. Great food selection and very satisfied with the service too. Kudos to Russel our server today. Highly recommend the place!

    This place is always packed with people. They offer well-loved and all time favorite Pinoy dishes. The crew are friendly, accommodating and well adept with what's in the menu. The food is great and is a real value for money. Now I understand why this place is always jammed with people during meal time, whether it be breakfast, lunch or dinner especially during weekends. If you are looking for food to give you the comforts of home-cooked meals, this is the place to go. Restaurants like these are worth visiting over and over again. :)

    The resto is located in greenbelt 1 along side majority of the resto strip.. food was great didn't really expect to enjoy filipino food this much outside our home.. unfortunately didn't like the puto bumbong and bibingka prang mas masarap pa ung sa kanto lng.. the best dish for me was the fried palabok in squid sauce its a very unique take on a classic filo dish.. the watermelon singang is soso just got curios and tried i think it depends on whos eating but not for us.. sinigang soup comes refillable pla so if u enjoyed it u can have the soup refilled.. we sat on the second flr the resto was full when we arrived we waited about 15mins to be seated.. staffs are attentive and i praise them like seriously the food comes from below and they have to bring everything up.. and once customer finishes all plates have to be brought down as well.. for the set up i hope they put like a dumbwaiter for easy access and less hassle for the staffs..

    Nice dining experience! We enjoyed the food, super sarap as usual. Sir Christian, our waiter, was very kind, attentive and welcoming to our needs and care, which added to our overall great experience with the restaurant. Highly recommend for everyone to try Manam, and we will definitely come back. Thank you sir Christian!

    "Lakas Maka-highblood ng mga kinain namin. Sisig at Crispy Pata...." - An old lady next to me said but with a big smile on her face. With that smile, I knew she was satisfied. 😁 Manam is one of the best Filipino restaurants I've been to. They're serving good quality food at super affordable prices. Sizes availability (S,M,L) is something I really like most especially yesterday that I had my lunch here alone. This was my second time here and I ordered Crispy House Sisig, Caramelized Patis Wings, Lumpiang Bicol Express (All in Small Size), Mango+Pomelo+Sago Shake and additional Melon+Banana Shake when my partner arrived from his business meeting. Crispy House Sisig is the best sisig I've tasted so far. My satisfaction yesterday and 3 years ago was exactly the same. It was crunchy, meaty and tasty. Something you shouldn't miss when visiting here. Malinamnam! Caramelized Patis Wings reminded me of the Buffalo Wings in Honey & Garlic Flavor. That sweet and tangy glaze complements the wings. A must try! Lumpiang Bicol Express was something unique. I personally liked this one. It was meaty and tasty. Plus it was not too oily. Definitely worth a try! I tried Sinigang na Beef Short Rib & Watermelon 3 years ago. The taste was unique but it was not something to die for. The shakes were just OK. I expected too much especially the quantity of Pomelo on the top of my shake as what I saw from the menu. They put too few. The taste of both shakes was just OK. Nothing so special aside from the quantity of sago in them. Customer service was excellent! The place was packed yesterday but I didn't wait long for my orders to be served. The staff were so attentive and accomodating. Overall, it was a good experience.

    This restaurant serves delicious Filipino food. Its my first time to taste Sizzling Corned Beef in Kansi and it tasted good! They also have adobo in 2 ways and their Oxtail Kare Kare is superb!

  • 5/5 auds a. 1 year ago on Google
    Had fathers day celeb here. The crew are very friendly. They will attend to your needs. The food is great if you want a classy Pinoy food. The Pako salad is worth trying, very healthy and fresh. Also the bangus belly is one of the best.

  • 1/5 helena agnes v. 2 years ago on Google
    Very disappointed with the service at our visit yesterday. Do not understand what could take more than 40 minutes to prepare pansit palabok which is supposed to be a restaurant staple - ended up cancelling in disgust. Even the bill and change took time to come. Staff running around, but system to ensure prompt and first-in, first-out service is not there. No apology despite the miserable experience they must have known we had. Such a shame considering the good food the restaurant is supposed to offer.

  • 5/5 Danae P. 5 months ago on Google
    Food and service was excellent, better than the other branches of Manam in the Philippines. The food was served rightaway even though there were many customers. The service was great too because of their attentiveness and super customer service. We felt like VIPs (even though we weren’t) because ate Lyra was friendly and accommodating. This makes up for the space which can significantly be improved because it’s too cramped. Nevertheless, will definitely come back.

  • 5/5 Renee C. 1 year ago on Google
    As tourists, we chose to eat lunch here because we saw many groups of Filipinos eating lunch here. The food was high-end and delicious. I loved that you could order dishes in small, medium, or large portions and then eat the food family-style. The price was very reasonable for the location.

  • 4/5 Junhao S. 4 years ago on Google
    Second time here. Food is still good. Crispy sisig is a must have. Filipino food does tend to be a bit more salty though.

  • 4/5 dhezirei v. 4 years ago on Google
    As much as I want to give this restaurant a 5 star I can't because of the experience. They won't let you in unless you are complete, NOT ONLY that, there were so many..as in so many VACANT tables that we can see yet there are so many people waiting outside just because they are NOT yet complete (waiting for friends and family). I believe they can accommodate, people can start ordering while waiting for the food to be served and for their friends at the same time instead of not allowing them to go in which then causes a lot of people outside and an empty resto. Jeezzz Aside from that, everything that we ordered here was tasty, delicious, yummy and all other adjectives that I can think of. The only thing I didn't like was the sinigang because it was sweet and Sinigang for me SHOULD be sour, people love sinigang because of sourness (mas maasim mas masarap). I love their ensalada, pusit and desserts.

  • 4/5 EyBiSiDee 8 months ago on Google
    all is good--food is flavorful, service is as expected, atmosphere is okay.. just a bit noisy when we dine. for the price, i am really expecting for more but i guess that's just how restaurant prices in somehow posh areas are. we always go back here to order their sinigang with watermelon, house crispy sisig, and ube + sago

  • 5/5 Alice De G. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was so amazing that we went twice during our stay in Manila. I was able to find a vegetarian option of a filipino dish (tofu sisig) which is rare in the city. The service was good, especially Andrei who was the best and made our experience even better.

  • 5/5 sirtriplestarch 1 year ago on Google
    This is great food for a chain restaurant. You can get the Filipino classics or modern twists. Especially the Sisig was super crunchy and tasty. Our waiter was also super nice and attentive, which is not normal in the Philippines! If you have foreign guests and want to feed them relatively authentic Filipino food that’s a bit more polished and still hot, take them here.

  • 5/5 Ron S. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place to eat if craving for Filipino food😋. But expect during lunch or dinner that the place is crowded. I miss their crispy Pancit Palabok but this time they do not allow yung tinapa maihiwalay. Nevertheless lots of pinoy and fushion food to choose from ❤️

  • 4/5 Minh N. 1 year ago on Google
    The restaurant stays at a very nice location. Lots of trees outside. Foods are delicous but the price is a bit high to me. But there is one thing which makes me feel abit uncomfortable. I come for lunch around 11am. Even though we still have not finish our meal but the staff already brought a bill for us and to pay. I think they do not want us to stay for too long but it actually gave customers a bad experience. Just a small thing. Will try Manam at other locations.

  • 4/5 Cel 7 months ago on Google
    The staff here are friendly and helpful. We came here dinner time on a Friday night and the place was full, there was a queue. The lady staff at the reception exerted efforts to find us a table and we were seated right away. The food taste so good, just like how my late grandmother used to make Filipino food. I like their adobo. If you like vegetables, their Guising Guising is worth ordering. Meals usually come in three sizes of your choice. The rice comes in a big bowl serving so consider this when minimizing your carbohydrate intake.

  • 5/5 Lulu G. 1 year ago on Google
    Manam is a good place esp when with family or friends but the place in GB2 is little cramped. I wish it were spacious. Food is good but portion is not much. Not so peaceful and quiet. Other peeps were loud.

  • 3/5 Jami C. 4 years ago on Google
    Love the food but the service was slow. We did an advance order before we were sat but we had to wait for around 30 minutes before the food arrived. We also ordered an additional small portion of white rice, it took around 20 minutes to arrive to our table. We also paid our bill and it took around 20 minutes again just to give the change back.

  • 5/5 Ryan E. 10 months ago on Google

  • 4/5 Myla A. 1 year ago on Google
    Eating at Manam was a fantastic experience. I would definitely recommend this place to those who are craving filipino food. What was also great was the service; Mica and Brian were excellent; they gave us complimentary leche flan. Downside, we decided to sit outside because of the music inside the restaurant was too loud for us and guests tend to talk to each other so loud.

  • 4/5 Fel O. 10 months ago on Google
    Warm and friendly service, family diner sort of place. Love that they have different sizes available for each dish to cater even for 1-2pax dining. The corned beef silog was way too sweet but was ok aside from that. We ordered something with eggplant but somehow what came looked like a overfried egg omelette with lots of salted egg inside. Maybe there is a miscommunication somewhere on eggplant meaning egg planted in the omelette??? No idea but this dish was quite salty with all the generous salted egg inside. Lucky the tomatoes bits helped even out the flavours. Fried fish is delicious! The mango drink is pretty much a dessert in itself, with lots of sweet mango bits and sago pearls. Food is decent, welcoming ambiance and helpful wait staff

  • 5/5 James O. 5 years ago on Google
    Great quality and delicious food. Although the serving size is a little small for the price in my opinion. Great twist on classic Filipino foods. The wait time to be seated wasn’t long on a Monday night. Clean place. The food came out fast. Overall, had a really great experience and would definitely come back. They don’t take reservations and will only seat you when the party is complete.

  • 1/5 Arjay T. 3 years ago on Google
    I'd rather be served with an average meal but I can't tolerate poor behavior. Woke up today craving sisig so i thought of ordering from Manam with their bento meals. I ordered a few meals to last me two days but got a call from a guy named Justin, telling me that they can separate shrimp paste from gising gising. I calmly asked to have it removed coz I am allergic and i order two. I also remember having that removed in my previous meals at the restaurant which is why i even considered ordering gising gising. He was very firm, persistent that it cant be done so i ended up having it and wasting it. What irked me the most is when he hang up on me while i was talking and when i called back to confront him about it, he denied hanging up the phone.. he rudely handled this situation. I hope that people in the service community understand the impact of not only food but the service. Manan prides itself for having delicious comfort food but this experience didnt give me comfort at all.

    This is my new favorite Filipino restaurant. Almost all the food we've tried here is very good. Make sure to order their house crispy sisig, lechon kawali, chicken inasal skewers, gising gising, and laing. Price is very reasonable and the ambiance is ok. Service is excellent. They don't take reservations so you have be there to be listed. And they won't list you until 80% of your party is present.

  • 1/5 Lydia L. 3 years ago on Google
    Had sinigang beef ribs , inihaw na liempo and gising gising delivered for lunch today. The sinigang I ordered was the medium P510 and said it was good for 2-3 persons. When I openned it there were like 4 very small pcs of beef. Too expensive for the amount of food and was very salty! Too bad! Description is deceiving!

    Modern iteration of Filipino classics. Ample family style serving size for group gatherings. Taste and presentation is noticeable. Servers are helpful and pleasant. Great location in Greenbelt area. Seating space is a little cramped. A little pricey but still reasonable. Worth a try if you are craving for your all time Filipino favorites.

    This is my first try at Manam and due to the current situation opted to eat on the outside area of the resto. The open area is cool and not as noisy. They serve filipino food. Tried their Squid Sisig, Palabok, Lumpiang Sariwa and Dalandan Juice. For the Squid Sisig, one have the option to choose small or large serving. Their palabok is uniquely served... its nice to see the server pouring the sauce into the fried palabok noodles. I love their mais con yelo with cheese - it was refreshing! Manam is a good experience!

Home of the best sisig in Manila, Manam specializes in serving up the best crispy sisig .. pork jowl & cheek, crispy w a really good taste ... This restaurant is highly rated & recommended by top food and travel sites.. There was quite a queue waiting for tables, and we almost gave up .. but luckily decided to wait for our table, on this hot nite .. temp here is abt 31C but so humid ... was worth the wait .. a fantastic meal .. signature crispy sisig, signature house Sinigang na Beef Short Rib and Watermelon .. fried four angled bean w minced pork, crispy fried (& spicy) pork spring roll .. we topped it w the ever popular Halo Halo .. Our thks to Dona, who got us our table .. and Vinz, who helped us w our food selection .. it was a truly enjoyable meal .. :)) ..

    Had so much good food I was stuffed. I don't think I had sinigang w/ watermelon so good. The mango drink was fantastic and refreshing as well.

    I first dined here when I treated an overseas client for dinner. We both enjoyed the food and the dishes we tried. The next was today with brother and his girlfriend for lunch. Still enjoyed the food but they arrived a bit too long! Had to follow up 4x before the food came. Still would come back though just maybe allot more time to dine here. It can also get a bit packed compared to other restaurants in greenbelt.

    Goto Special is truly Special! Comforting Filipino Food

  • 5/5 Jeroen M. 4 years ago on Google
    We ordered a lot of food based on suggestions from a friend, I can tell you that after being in the Philippines for a month this is one of the best spots we ate at. The combinations of the flavours, all of which seem local or can be a fusion were well balanced. Like most restaurants in the Philippines, also this place can be perceived as loud by westerners.

    Good Filipino food but it can be very noisy especially during peak hours.

    Not a fan of their crispy sisig. Aside from the tiny portion, it tasted more like a dry chicharon than sisig. Tokwa’t baboy was good though.

    Sounds corny but, this place is amazing. Best food I've had in Manila.

    The food was good, the service however really ruined the experience. It's our last night in the Philippines and everyone recommended this place and boy was it disappointing. I gave up my Jollibee cravings for this place and wasted our last filipino meal. If you like raising your hands to be served then this is the place for you. If you like to wait 20 mins to order your food, 15 mins to be told they run out of beer, and another 30 minutes for the the 3 dishes you ordered (forgetting one) to arrive, then you're in luck, a place such as Manam exist. To the server who took our order: If your memory fails you to remember a 3 dish plus rice order, then you really need a notepad to write down your customers' order. I had no intentions of leaving my change but I honestly didn't feel like waiting another 20 minutes watching everyone else get served except us.

    We placed our orders for this Mother’s Day lunch before 11:00am. It is now past 2pm and our food has nor yet been delivered. My mom called the resto and the staff who answered did not even know what happened. The staff put her on hold fir a long time and my mom was forced to just hang up the phone. Such dismal service. Destroyed our Mother’s Day celebration!!!!

    Prior ECQ, this place is always packed. Comfort Filipino food with contemporary twist. Try to arrive before lunch to get a good seat and less waiting time

    NOT a good representation of Filipino food. Twisted recipe of otherwise excellent traditional cuisine. Sweet adobo, watermelon sinigang. Wth did they do to those dishes. Such disrespect for the culture. Portions are terrible, expensive for what it is. Place is hot, crowd is noisy.

    This was my first restaurant I ate when I moved to the Philippines recommended by my housing agency and it has forever stole my heart. I have been back here more than 20+ times when I wanted to eat local Filipino dishes. My favorite dishes are House Crispy Sisig, Overloaded Garlicy Chicken & Pork Belly Adobo, and Crispy Pansit Palabok. For drinks, love the Ube Sago and Camais Lemon Grass. For desserts, bibingka de leche, frozen mango brazo de Mercedes, and the classic Halo Halo.

    Our first experience at Manam restaurant was made truly exceptional thanks to the exceptional service provided by Sir Edwin. He not only expertly managed the food but also went above and beyond to assist us throughout our visit. His attentiveness and dedication to ensuring our first-time dining experience was memorable were greatly appreciated. We look forward to returning to this restaurant in the future.
