Filipino steakhouse from the Tabachoy team, arcade game included.

Manong opened on Fairmount Avenue in December 2025 from the Tabachoy team, built as a Filipino restaurant that also wants to be a steakhouse. Lumpia and chicken inasal sit beside prime rib.

Big tables, a full bar, and a Ninja Turtles arcade game that's free to play while you wait for the next round. The Infatuation added it to the Hit List.

This was pretty good! I got the tocino and it was nothing crazy, I think we were supposed to have garlic rice but it seemed to be missing garlic and wasn’t super flavorful. It was a nice atmosphere for brunch. I liked the pickled vegetables. Dinner prices are a bit expensive

Verdict: Nothing special. Another Filipino-inspired restaurant lacking the true soul of Filipino food. Apps: Dynamite lumpia - this is definitely NOT dynamite lumoia. Totally misrepresented. Tasted ok Bloom Shroom - quite good but I don’t really know what’s Filipino about this dish. Ensalada - it said it had Bangus green goddess as the dressing but could barely taste the bangus. Mains: Lechon - VERY dry and quite bland. The server and manager were kind enough to take this one off our bill. Bistek - steak was pretty decent. I don’t really get bistek flavor that much. Pork and beans - Pork chop was good and juicy but the mung beans were so undercooked. Overall, an ok experience. Do not come here if you are familiar with Filipino food and are looking for Filioino vibe or flavors.

Very relaxing spot. Came in after a nice stroll around the art museum for some brunch. Service was prompt and polite. Food was tasty and filling. Coffee was lovely. Highly recommend!

Casual café service during the day. Great happy hour. Friendly staff. Unmatched hospitality. Pricing is a little steep, portions on the lighter side, and not a lot of vegan options. Still, a Fairmount favorite!

We tried their sharing tasting menu and it was perfect for our extended family with a mix of adults and kids. We had 5 starters and 8 main dishes plus ice cream selections for dessert. Everything was great. The beef steak main course was especially tasty. The table was too tiny for all the dishes, but we managed somehow.
