Go to Estacion instead. Price at Mamalu's is VERY EXPENSIVE. $21 for a large container of meat compared to Estacion at $14 for same large container. Not much selection of food.

We were looking for some Filipino comfort food for my mother-in-law. We stumbled upon this establishment in Ajax. This restaurant has a small hot table and they also make noodle soup called "Lomi".There's a small dining area good for maybe 10 people max. We ordered 2 beef pares noodles (large) $14.99 and one combo meal 2 $12.99 with a choice of 2 meat (pork or chicken), steamed rice and bottled water.Portion wise, the combo meal was a little bit small but understandable for businesses trying to navigate through tough times. We got the bicol Express and another pork dish with shrimp paste. The pork used in these dishes were very fatty so unfortunately, most of the meat was not edible. A little more attention to the meat selection will go a long way for patrons to enjoy their hot table food.The highlight was the beef pares noodles soup. Took some time for them to prepare it, but well worth the wait. The broth was satisfying, and noodles cooked extra soft for my mother-in-law. The beef brisket was tender and seasoned well.Overall, it was a nice first experience at this local restaurant . I will visit again soon when craving some chicken Lomi or beef pares. The owner and staff were very friendly and treated you like family. Well done.

Thank you Papa Doms. Great portions of food. Reasonable price PLUS GOOD TASTY YUMMY FOOD..This review was written when the restaurant was named Papa Doms. Since Mamalu took over, the food quality remains mediocre, the prices are high, and the seafood platter is mostly filled with corn and potatoes rather than seafood. The sauce lacks flavor, and the older lady serving at the front appears grumpy, exchanging portions on our plates without explanation. Overall, the experience was disappointing. NOT WORTH IT!! GO TO Lechun Republik Instead

The place is clean and doesn't have that carinderia look.Food is okay considering we can eat Filipino food we did not cook though home cooked food is still better than store bought for Filipino dishes.
Definitely recommend to all Filipinos and even Non-Filipinos. Foods are great especially the beef pares whether with rice or noodles. Siomai and spring role so good my kiddos loved it, has to order 3x and others Filipino dessert and even cheesecake factory. The money you spent is worth it. And we'll surely buy it again.Kid-friendliness: Its spacious, has room even you have a stroller. Clean, the menu is on the 3 screen tv in front of you and tv to watch news etc while eating or waiting for your order. Its environment kids friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: They have 2 or more parking space for handicapped. And its on lower ground so safe for them.

The palabok is excellent! It's a little pricey, but the portion size is huge (they say for 10 people, but honestly it can feed more). My wife finds it hilarious that they ask you if you want small noodles or large.. to her, "large noodle palabok" is pancit malabon. But anyway, I love this place, I will keep coming back and I highly recommend it.

I love how they have Valerio bread products here. And their food portions are big too! I have yet to try other food offerings here because everything looks good! And their staff are nice and friendly.

First time to visit the place and I was surprised how big the serving was. The pork sisig cost $13.99 ($15.81 with tax) and it comes with a rice. There are different variety of viand, desserts, cakes from cheesecake factory and bread. The place was clean and organize during the visit.
