MAKATI CITY — Tucked inside Power Plant Mall in Rockwell Center, Mamou Too! has long been the neighborhood’s answer to a simple question: where does one go for a steak that feels both celebratory and comforting? The restaurant, which opened as the second outpost of the Mamou group four years after the original Serendra branch, carries the brand’s signature blend of premium ingredients and the warmth of a home kitchen. It is a place where the service feels personal, the room hums with conversation, and the menu reads like a collection of family favorites rather than a formal steakhouse carte. For Makati residents and visitors, it offers a reliable destination for a meal that satisfies without pretension.
The Steak That Anchors the Table
Steak takes center stage at Mamou Too!, and the kitchen treats it with the care the cut deserves. The Devesa Argentinian Steak Line, a premium selection not commonly found on local menus, is a highlight. Cattle raised on family-run farms in Argentina’s Pampas produce exceptional marbling and a clean, robust beef character. The Porterhouse, a king of steakhouse cuts, combines the tenderness of the fillet with the bolder flavor of the striploin, while the Twin Bone-In Ribeye delivers generous marbling and a deeply savory finish. Diners who have visited recently speak of the Argentinian ribeye as “insanely juicy and flavorful,” a cut that justifies the trip on its own.
Lorenzo’s Truffle Cream and the Comfort Classics
If the steak is the anchor, the pasta is the reason many regulars return. Lorenzo’s Truffle Cream Pasta, named after the owner’s nephew, is coated in a rich, creamy sauce that has become a signature of the brand. It is the kind of dish that prompts diners to order a second plate before the first is finished. The soft shell crab salad, another longtime favorite, earns consistent praise for its balance and texture, while the key lime pie closes the meal with a tangy-sweet note that feels just right after a heavy steak. These dishes reflect the restaurant’s home-kitchen roots, where comfort and generosity matter as much as technique.
A Space for Celebrations and Everyday Meals
The atmosphere at Mamou Too! strikes a balance between lively and relaxed. It can get crowded and noisy during peak hours, but the staff are known for being warm, attentive, and accommodating, often going out of their way to make guests feel welcome. That combination of good food, cozy vibes, and exceptional service makes the restaurant a popular choice for birthdays, anniversaries, and spontaneous weeknight dinners. The Rockwell location places it within easy reach of offices, residences, and the mall’s retail and cinema offerings, making it a convenient stop for both planned celebrations and impromptu meals.
