We were excited to try a Filipino restaurant in the area on our visit to Niagara Falls. They were accommodating of my wanting a vegetarian meal, which was nice. My husband ordered the combo meal which came with lumpias, rice, soup (if you asked for it, which we did and in the end didn't even receive).We received a plate of lumpias first before the meal and so we just suspected it was the ones that came with my husbands meal. He ate them, and then while waiting for our dinners, the waitress comes up to us and asks if he ate them. When he said yes, she proceeded to tell us that they were for the table behind us and that they would have to be added to our bill. While we were confused, she even said that the ones we received were different from the ones in the combo.We received our food, which was good I thought. Even though the lupias in the combo were the same as the ones we received, the only difference being the #. We first received 6, while the combo had 4. Then once she came up to itemize our bill and mentioned the additional lumpias on the bill, I asked, "So even though we didn't order them?" And she said, "Well he ate them." and I stated, "They came with his meal, we thought it was part of the combo that he ordered." She shrugged and said a very awkward "Sorry." We did end up paying for them and at that point had gotten way more lupias than we needed. We had even tried to discuss not adding the additional ones to the combo before we got it but I don't think she understood.In the end, to not only charge a customer for something that was given to them and then blame them for eating it. Don't get me wrong, if it was a plate of fish or something we clearly didn't order, we would've definitely spoken up when she put it on the table to make sure it went to the correct people. But this was an item that came with our meal, that was given to us by the waitress. It was not our mistake. I felt as though they thought we were liars just trying to get free food.We would definitely not return and are kind of appalled that this was a "customer was wrong" situation, which could've easily have been a "Sorry, no worries. Our mistake! Looks like you got some free lumpias! *chuckle*" And then we would've gladly given a big tip or something. But this was really terrible customer service. I really hope future customers don't get treated this way.

This place is absolutely disgusting ??!! I've been with my boyfriend for 6 years and eat filipino food on the daily and THIS WAS NOT IT! We ordered lechon and adobo with garlic rice. The rice was mushy and ny Adobo looked like dog food with gravy. The pork was mostly fat and it just looked like they gave me a can of dog food. My boyfriends lechon wasn't bad but the rice was also mushy. I WILL NEVER GO BACK. The waiter barely said 2 words to us other than what he needed to say and the service was trash. Atmosphere TRASH!! If you're looking for authentic filipino food please do not choose this place.

Really good food! Enjoyed the experience of the menu.The service was slow, and the waitress delivered our food to the wrong table. It took 10+ minutes to realize the error, and the restaurant expected the food to be untouched. Even with the error, the other table was charged for the food and then our food came out late. Good food, good prices, sub-par customer service.

We ordered 2 appetizers, the lumpia(fried pork egg rolls) and the fried siomai(dumplings). Main course was the combo chicken/pork skewers with garlic fried rice and chicken adobo.It was not good at all, nothing was good. I can only speculate but it taste like everything had been cooked twice.The stewed chicken adobo had potential but was very salty and the texture was turning to mush, a sign of over cooked meat (dark meat at that).As in the pictures on the website, the fried foods were cooked too long. The fried egg rolls were not crunchy over cooked but tough over cooked like when you try to drop leftovers in hot grease.The garlic fried rice is not fried, it's outer shell is hard and darker but the inside is soft white rice with crispy garlic on top which had no taste at all.The pork skewers resembled beef jerky.All the food came out together in 10+minutes or so and the only warm item was the egg rolls. Coke products are served in the bottle.This was not good first experience with dishes from the Phillipines but won't be my last. This was my experience, yours might be different.Parking: Parking validated by restaurant

The food here is amazing! Highly recommend. If you even drive near the restaurant it smells fantastic. I highly recommend giving Mami House a try if you have not tried it.
During our recent visit to Niagara Falls, NY, we had the pleasure of dining at Mami House, a gem of a Filipino restaurant that truly made our trip memorable. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality that made us feel right at home.We started our meal with the rice porridge, a comforting and flavorful dish that set the tone for the incredible meal to follow. The pancit palabok was next, and it was nothing short of exceptional - the perfect balance of savory and slightly seafood taste, with noodles cooked to perfection.But the highlight of our meal had to be the halo-halo for dessert. It was a delightful concoction of sweet treats and ice, masterfully blended to provide a refreshing end to our sumptuous meal.Mami House is a must-visit for anyone looking for authentic Filipino cuisine in Niagara Falls, NY. Their commitment to quality and authenticity shines through in every dish, and we can't wait to come back on our next visit. An absolute five-star experience!"

I enjoyed my meal and the combo idea is fantastic. You get to try two options. However the meal left us a little 'meh'. The rice seemed a little less than fresh, the chicken was on the drier side. The soup indistinct. So we ate, we enjoyed, but we weren't wowed!
Hidden gem. Good food, good atmosphere
