Footscray is known as a haven for Vietnamese food so when we come across something different we usually like to give them a try. So it is with Mami Ko Filipino-Asian Restaurant.
Now as far as Asian cuisine goes Filipino isn't generally a favourite. We all have different taste buds so I'm just stating where we come from.
Anyway, the premises that Mami Ko is located has nice visibility and is quite prominent but also seems to be a graveyard spot for restaurants over the years. Restaurants located here just don't seem to last even favourite ones.
I am happy to report that at least with the dishes we tried they were not overly fatty. Just a trend we have identified with Filipino restaurants in general over the years so that's a good start.
While the food we had tasted fine they weren't particularly special and seemed on the rather ungenerous side as far as portions go. I am hoping this was teething problems as its a competitive market and based on what we had and the pricing level we were disappointed.
Maybe Filipino food is better with a greater number of guests so dishes can be served and shared with a crowd. Anyway, I'm kinda glad we tried Mami Ko Filipino-Asian Restaurant but I can't say we will be going back any time soon. We wish them well though so for Filipino cuisine fans this place may still be the go.
What we will say though is that the menu was pretty extensive and if you love your pork then this could potentially be a great place for you.
Location
Mami Ko Filipino-Asian Restaurant: is located at 76 Nicholson St, Footscray VIC 3011.
In A Nutshell
Mami Ko wasn't our cup of tea but we certainly know everyone has their own differing points of view. Anyway, as one of the few Filipino restaurants going around Mami Ko may still be worth your while if you are a fan of this style of cuisine.

Moon Dog Wild West
Moon Dog Brewery meets the wild west. Giant cacti, ride the bull arena, Mexican and western pub food, three level venue. Eccentric, loud, vibrant and making a statement in the West. Highly recommended if you love your pubs.

Huu Huu Thanh
It goes without saying that we highly recommend Huu Huu Thanh. A full and complete Vietnamese menu, a down to earth yet still decorative restaurant environment, fantastic flavoured food and a pumping vibrant atmosphere. Hawker styled food done fantastically.

Back Alley Sally's
Back Alley Sally's is probably missed out by visitors to Footscray who don't venture far from the main shopping and dining district. I believe Back Alley Sally's is definitely worth checking out as a great casual dining venue and meetup place to chat with friends. A nice relaxed feel and hipstery vibes make Back Alley Sally definitely recommended for those who appreciate the relaxed side of life.

First Taste
First Taste restaurant is an adequate Cantonese styled restaurant. It's former claim to fame was it's specialty Cantonese soups that maintained an authentic flavour that tasted great. I am hoping they can return to their former glory days again.

Mami Ko
It's great to have a Filipino restaurant in Footscray but it just wasn't our cup of tea. Still if you crave some Filipino food this might fill the spot for you.

T. Cavallaro & Sons Pasticceria
T Cavallaro and Sons Pasticceria offers a view to a long gone Italian heritage in the heart of Footscray. Definitely worth a visit to consider buying some Italian coffee equipment or trying the ricotta cannoli from a recipe over 150 years old!

Sapa Hills
Sapa Hills has stood the test of time. Still a trendy looking restaurant in Footscray it continues to deliver.
Rating: 4
Hong Kong BBQ
The Hong Kong BBQ restaurant has gone from all time favourite to okay. Hong Kong BBQ has drastically reduced its menu to only BBQ'd Chinese food now. So yes you can continue to enjoy your favourite roast duck or roast pork but sadly the reduced menu is a bit of a let down. Still, if you love your roast duck it is perfect as a takeaway treat or you can still eat it there.
