Side options of white or Java rice complement most dishes, fitting the local palate.

Signature items like the Siomai and the Seafood Ranch highlight the kitchen’s balance of texture and flavor, with the Siomai showcasing a well-measured blend of meat and fat, and the Seafood Ranch standing out as a hearty, flavor-packed choice. Short orders such as Chicken Arroz Caldo and Lechon Arroz Caldo speak to the restaurant’s focus on traditional Filipino hearty soups, often enjoyed as a soothing, filling meal.

The steady stream of locals, from longtime patrons driving miles to maintain their tradition to nearby workers grabbing a dependable lunch, indicates that Mami King thrives on familiarity and steady quality.

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!

Usually, when I eat at Filipino restaurants, I get disappointed but not Mami King. Everything on their menu is delicious and carefully prepared. You know the owners take pride in the quality of their food. The fried chicken is not oily at all and is flavorful enough you don't need the sauce. Their siomai has the right amount of meat and fat in it. The siopao's dough is light and fluffy and the fillings are just the right amount and delicious! We've been here three times, once for dine in, and twice we got take out. I can't wait to go back!

The servers were very careing and kind. The owner's family were also very helpful. The chicken was very good and not dry. I liked the kare kare and the pancit. The kare kare had a good amount of veggies and had good amount of meat to eat. The pancit was unique as ot was served in more than one variety than expected. Also the chicken soup was very good as it reminded me of tinola a phillipino super soup for colds and sickness with ginger and rice water.

Quick, friendly service, and food made to order. Ordered the maki bihon and the lechon kawali. Liked both. The sawsawan for the lechon kawali was tasty.
