Mama Go’s Filipino Cuisine (SFO T1)

I ordered the Omnipork Spam & Vegan Egg Garlic Fried Rice Plate. It comes with rice and the spam and folded vegan egg (I believe it's Just Egg) seperate. It's made to order so expect to wait a bit longer for it compared to the dishes on their storefront menu. They even have vegan bubble tea! Both were great to bring on the plane when I know there's not in plane options.

Mama Go’s is a great option to grab something in terminal one. I like Philippine food, but there are few restaurants around. The lumpia in particular are very good and not too overpriced by airport standards. But some of the dishes are a little bit pricey, but that’s to be expected from the airport.Most of the food is already made, which has the advantage of speed but the disadvantage of freshness. I would like to try this if it were a real restaurant, and made to order.

Tastes just as good as any of the Filipino food I’ve had a family parties. Great depth of flavor and spicing. Garlic rice doesn’t have too much of a garlic kick so you won’t be killing your flight neighbors with garlic breath. Shanghai lumpia tastes good, sweet and sour sauce is a little heavier on the vinegar side but not overbearing. It’s a blessing and a curse that it is at the end of the terminal. Blessing because you don’t have to wait long to get amazing food. A curse because they should have a huge line. Best place to eat in the terminal hands down.

I was excited to try Mama Go’s at SFO Terminal 1, especially since Filipino street food isn’t always easy to find at airports. The menu looked promising, and I opted for the Deluxe Street Food Sampler, which includes a bit of everything: a chicken skewer, pork lumpia (egg roll), siomai (steamed dumpling), a veggie spring roll, and a generous handful of wonton chips. The taste overall was good, but the main issue was temperature—everything was served cold. It seems the items are pre-cooked and left out on the counter without any food warmers. This took away from the freshness and appeal of what could have been a really satisfying snack box. The chicken skewer was tender and had that classic Filipino-style barbecue flavor—sweet and slightly smoky. Personally, I found it a bit too sweet, but the marinade was flavorful and well-balanced with the char. Surprisingly, it still tasted pretty good cold, though I imagine it would have been much better warm. The pork lumpia and veggie spring roll were both crispy and satisfying. The outer wrappers were golden and crunchy, and each was packed with flavorful fillings. The pork lumpia had a savory bite, while the veggie roll was light but not bland. The wonton chips were a pleasant surprise—ultra crunchy, and very addictive. They added a nice touch for the snack box. Service was efficient and friendly, and the food was ready quickly, which is great if you’re in a rush before your flight. Still, I’d love to see them improve the food holding process so that dishes stay warm and fresh.

Delicious food! as a vegan, it was the very first time I had a fulfilling meal at an airport and was absolutely worth it! ordered a 1 entrée combo with rice noodles + veggie stir fry and spring roll, everything was savory and service was excellent! definitely will eat here again in my next arrival at SFO! 🌱💖

I’d advise against getting any drinks with boba, because more than half of the pearls I got were undercooked? so they were hard as pebbles. Not hard in the stale normal way, but hard as pebbles. However, the main entrees were great and the service was nice. I liked the packaging and the way it is served to us. The coconut curry chicken, chicken adobo, and garlic rice were delicious and felt like a proper meal in the airport. The lumpia for the sides was nice and not soggy. Those skewers also looked amazing, and the prices are right for food in the airport.

Had some down time while waiting for my flight and wanted to grab something to eat. After hearing all my friends saying they spent $30 on a meal in the airport, I was surprised that the Deluxe Street Sampler was under $20 with a decent amount of food. For Airport Food, the value is not bad at all and the flavors were palatable. I wouldn't mind ordering food from here as they were somewhat comparable to outside and the portions were decent. Not shown in pictures is my drink, this I can say you should probably skip as it isn't anything spectacular nor is it cheap, you might be better off buying bottled drinks instead.

DELICIOUS!!!!! I was super hungry so I went all out. I had the two entree combo with the Beef Kaldareta (so flavorful!!!) and the Pancit Sotanghon Glass Noodles. The lumpia was crispy and came with a sweet dipping sauce. The employees were nice, efficient, and helpful with questions. Would definitely eat here again if I'm ever flying through SFO.

Surprisingly generous portion, especially for an airport spot -- way bigger than expected and definitely more than what you usually get at airport restaurants. For the price and location, it's excellent value, and the serving size could easily satisfy two people. Didn't think I'd leave an airport meal feeling this full!

Incredible! Every dish was amazing. Coconut flavor was fire. And the service was so sweet! I want to come back every time I fly.

Upon recommendation from a family member who had visited Mama Go's in the past, we stopped by here to grab a quick bite to eat before catching a plane. I ordered a cup of the arroz caldo and veggie spring rolls for myself, and my daughter got the 2 item combo with kaldereta and adobo and a mango smoothie. We were pleasantly surprised at how much food came with the 2 item combo. She had her plate lunch along with a small cup of nilaga broth. All the food was delicious, and about $25/person. Service was excellent; they let us redeem a 10% Yelp check in offer. The Harvey Milk terminal, in my opinion, is sparkling, gleaming, and clean, making for a very nice seating area for all Mama Go patrons. Will definitely come back to eat here when the opportunity presents itself in the future!

I walked up to this spot at airport because I hadn't seen anything like it before. Filipino street food at the airport?!!! Shem (Christian) was sooo kind. I haven't ordered Filipino food before, not sure WHY! I was unsure of which entree to choose and I don't like eating too spicy or salty. He asked me if I'd like to try the Bicol Express. I LOVED it. The flavor was kind of like curry, but wasn't. By the time I chewed it through enough, I noticed the line had built behind me. The fact that it was starting to get busy while he let me sample was him going above and beyond. I quickly scarfed down my sample and ordered the duo entree + for the mains (garlic rice + pancil noodles). I knew my husband would want a drink as well. I asked for his recommendation between mango or ube boba and we went with the ube and was not disappointed.

The day has arrived where we can have something other than bad Chinese food inside the airport! It may not be the best Filipino food I've ever had but it's a start. At least it's not another bad Panda Express iteration in the food court. Mama Go's Filipino is a stand alone spot at the end of a busy wing of the airport domestically. I wasn't hungry enough for a meal so I went with BBQ skewers with an order of pancit noodles. The BBQ skewers were my favorite in terms of flavor even if they are little light serving wise. If I was really hungry I might need 10 of these. LOL. Skip the pancit as the bitterness from the veggies was too overpowering. The veggie versus noodle ratio was a little skewed towards the former as well. Next time I am here I'll go with the entrees as it seemed like the way to go. The help was quick and there is ample seating in the area nearby.

We found out about Mama Go on a YouTube video about the SFO airport. They said this was the only Filipino food option at an airport in the USA. Since we had a long layover we walked over here near B18 and I tried the two combo with Chicken adobo and the beef entree. I had the rice noodles as a base and topped it with a veggie spring roll. I also got the mochi ball for dessert. The whole combo was amazing and for airport food, you don't get any better than this. A unique airport food treat. Not only was the soup and entree great, but the mochi ball was a great way to end things with its sticky crispy texture. Overall, an excellent option for airport food and highly recommended!

Best airport food I've ever had. Just what I needed. Meal: Chicken curry (fantastic) Chicken adobo (good) Garlic rice (was gonna do noodles, but loved this) Carioca (great finish)

I was waiting for my flight and stopped at Mama Go's for a quick snack before boarding. Everything is prepared ahead of time so there was no line and no wait to get food. I ended up getting lumpia Shanghai which comes in a set of 8, and carioca (deep fried mochi balls covered in a caramelized sugar coating) which comes in a set of 3. Both were pretty good. I especially like the lumpia. They were warm and crispy and a ton of flavor

If you haven't been to the new Terminal 1 at SFO you are missing out. Incredible remodel turning the airport into something world class that you want to visit vs one of those airports you just pass through. With the big change has come a bunch of new restaurants from all over the bay and some very good ones. There was a bit of a line at Mama Go's and when I walked by to look at the food it looked really good. I ordered the chicken curry and some beef curry like dish with garlic rice and lumpia on the side. Overall this was a solid meal, and much better than what I would normally get an airport. I would say there was a little extra sweetness in the curry and a touch more salt in the rice than I would personally prefer but I still ate everything, felt good after and would go back again when I am flying through terminal 1. I have also tried a few other places in SFO and for now would say this is my favorite.

Food did not look too appealing as we got closer to the bar to order so we opted for boba drinks. I ordered a matcha latte and it had the ice to the rim and tasted nothing like a matcha latte. I also ordered a jasmine lavender tea with boba & that was good. The service was extremely slow because they only have one person serving and prepping. The portions served are generous serving sizes. The lady serving the food is a bit elderly but very nice. It was difficult for her to hear my order.

I have to admit - as I walked through the freshly renovated Terminal 1 for the very first time, I was more excited to check out the revamped dining options than I was to explore all of the new improvements and amenities. Not that either were horrendously awful before, but...well, they weren't exactly all that awesome either. Plus, SF being SF, I knew there was bound to be more local and unique spots than your generic sorts of chains! Although, between their proximity to my gate and the positive things I had heard about them from friends, I pretty much knew what eatery to try first once I saw Mama Go's! Located practically at the very end of the terminal (well past all of the eateries just past security), Mama Go's isn't much to look at - literally. Quite honestly, this place might have the smallest footprint, but it's not like they need a ton of space either. Their set-up is the same as the likes of Panda Express, where you can customize your own combo meal or order by entree instead. Similar to their stature, the menu isn't very extensive, but it still has a decent variety of offerings - a half dozen appetizers, a handful of sides, and about eight different entrees, including a couple of vegan options. Also, if you are ordering a combo meal, several of the dishes do have an upcharge, which may or may not affect your picks. -- LUMPIA SHANGHAI - Deep Fried Filipino Style Egg Rolls with Sweet & Sour Dipping Sauce...$10.99 I had (read: always have) a craving for lumpia and boy were hit the spot! While I do wish they had been hotter/crispier, each piece was decently filled with a delicious, porky filling. Best of all, I loved that they weren't super oily! As for the dipping sauce, I forgot to get some to try, but these were great without it. -- TWO ENTREE COMBO MEAL - Chicken Adobo & Chicken Curry with Choice of Base (Garlic Rice), Choice of Side (Pork & Shrimp Siaomai), and a cup of Sibuya Soup...$18.99 I may not have been expecting much, but this was still pretty solid! The Chicken Curry was flavorful (creamy, mild spice) and I liked how the vinegar in the Adobo wasn't overpowering and that the chunks of meat were moist. As for the two sides, the Siaomai wasn't anything special, but the Sibuya soup was simple yet legitimately delicious! With each of the things that I've tried at Mama Go's so far, what I've liked the most is how everything tasted pretty clean - nothing felt all that greasy, fatty, oily, etc. Plus, the workers here are super nice (reminded me of the Filipino aunties at a couple of the restaurants I used to frequent near my old job). The one thing that's unfortunate about this place is that, like just about any other airport eatery, their prices aren't cheap and the portion isn't huge. However, context is important - while they may be a three in the grand scheme of things, they're closer to a four for where they are. If nothing else, their lumpia makes for the perfect pre-flight snack! THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded up. You can find better Filipino food elsewhere, but not bad for what/where they are!

I had a meal voucher to redeem before my flight and decided for some Filipino breakfast! The workers are very nice and welcoming and got my food so fast! I got the adobo breakfast plate with the garlic fried rice (soo good!), a side of veggie pancit, and the creamy Manila mango drink with boba! The drink was delicious and the boba was the perfect texture. The price is at the normal steep airport price of almost $20 for one meal but the portions are huge! I'd stop by again the next time I'm in Terminal 1 of SFO.

Came by for food the other day before flying out and it was a decent experience. Upon arrival, I was pleased to see a buffet of precooked hot food at 9 am but noticed that we're no prices for the combo meals on the menu. When I informed the staff that I wanted a combo with skewers, the staff informed me that skewers aren't part of the combo and can only be sold a la carte. It was interesting to see a 10% off for writing a review on Yelp... Started off with the lumpia Shanghai which was ok. It felt like a pork sausage wrapped in a wonton wrapped. It was cold and served in a set of 4. The pancit was on the bland side and vegan. The chicken skewers were flavorful and juicy. This may have been the highlight, although pricier at ~$8 for a skewer. $32 for lunch and they take credit cards

I want you to picture yourself in the SFO airport getting off a flight delayed more than four hours. Now I want you to picture seeing garlic fried rice, adobo chicken, and coconut curry pork just meters away, staring you down like that big holographic woman looking at Ryan Gosling in Bladerunner. this was my experience and it can be yours too, so yummy and so, so needed

Hearty authentic & delicious Filipino food. They also have ube & mango lattes & bobas!

If you like protein in many ways this place can give you fuel for the day at the airport. I get a breakfast bowl with garlic rice(they give you 2 scoops), scrambled eggs, 2 spams, 2 longanisa, and I add the 2 for 1 lumpia. Flavour is there, the garlic rice is very warm and tasty. There's soy sauce, spicy, and sweet and sour sauce are all available with a pump. Longanisa is more sweet than spicy. Spam and eggs are basic. They have many more things like arroz caldo, drinks, smoothies, and tocino.

If your flight boards or lets you off at the far end of the B concourse, definitely plan to eat tasty Filipino food at Mama Go's! And if not, plan extra time for the walk down to eat there!

Quick breakfast in Terminal 1. Coffee and sandwich specials $10.99, good coffee, variety of sandwiches Heated on Croissant. Fast easy and tasty breakfast, several sauces. Helpful friendly cashier.

Delicious Filipino food at SFO's Harvey Milk Terminal. I was famished after a four hour flight from DFW, and had to get a bite before heading home. Fortunately I spotted Mama Go's right outside my gate - not only were they open, there was a line! I ordered plain rice and curry chicken - which was flavorful and filling, and hot brothy soup. This is exactly what I needed on that cold and rainy evening. Will be back to try more Mama Go options!

Surprisingly good. I was actually a little turned off when I first saw the food, I didn't think it looked that great. But I'm not one to turn down trying filipino food so my wife and I figured we'd give it a shot anyways. We were glad we did, the adobo was really better than I had expected, as well as the beef kaldereta. The lumpia and garlic fried rice were also pretty good. The servers were really nice, but we didn't like the weird upcharge for everything. Just to get the beef it was an extra $2, and it was one of only 4 choices. That being said, the food was good and the eating area around it was really nice so definitely one of the better places to try in the airport.

A pleasant surprise for this proud pinay to see a turo turo spot in SFO! It was my first time at this airport which I thought was impressive already so imagine the look on my face when I ventured further in the terminal to see a menu with beef kaldereta and chicken adobo on the way from the bathroom? What a score! For $20, you can get 2 dishes, a hefty portion of rice, a small side, and a soup. I wasn't even that hungry but it all looked so good and I was happy to support! I got beef kaldereta and bicol express with a siomai side, garlic rice, and "sabaw" (soup) and for airport food? it did not disappoint! My little one gobbled down all my soup and rice and I devoured my pork and beef minutes before boarding. My only wish is that we had a Mama Go's in Tampa Airport or LAS!! Maraming salamat po, this restaurant and meal made my day! Make sure you check-in on Yelp to receive 10% off too :)

For airport food, Mama Go's is decent. I got a breakfast bowl with garlic fried rice, eggs, tocino, and longanisa. Garlic fried rice is always good -- no one can dislike garlic fried anything, especially garlic fried carbs. I thought the eggs were bland and overcooked (1 star off) and the meats were very sweet (1 star off). I have had lots of very good Filipino food, so did not feel like Mama Go's were the top ones, but I understand my standards may be a tad high for airport food. I liked the Manila mango milk, which was a nice contrast to all the caffeinated drinks at an airport.

My fam and I had a super early flight out of SFO to PHX. To our surprise, Mama Go's was open near our gate. I initially wasn't going to get something to eat because again, it was very early and I wasn't hungry, but after seeing their menu (vegan spam!!!) I changed my mind. I hadn't had spam since I stopped eating meat a few years ago, so I was thrilled to find they offered a vegan version. Mama Go's actually has a wide range of vegan options. I decided on the vegan spam, egg, and cheese croissant sandwich, while my guys chose the ham and cheese croissant sandwich. We also treated my son to a caramel macchiato. My breakfast croissant sandwich was delicious! It was my first time trying vegan spam, and I really liked it. My family also enjoyed their meals. Service was quick and friendly!

The boba had a perfect chewy texture, and the drink base was flavorful with a subtle sweetness. Good customer service.

Absolutely delicious. I had the beef and it tasted just like something my mom made when I was growing up - it was so comforting - especially right before a flight. I used to go to a different restaurant in the terminal, but this is definitely my new go-to. Service was friendly, and the portion was quite large. They definitely didn't skimp on the beef!

Looking for a meal off the plane. Discovered Mama Go's Filipino Cuisine. Good choice for vegans. Opted for the 1 2-entree combo meal half white rice and half pancit bihon noodles with veggie stir fry and vegan kare kare with one golden veggie spring roll. Friendly service with good recommendations. Ambiance was what it was which was in an airport yet just fine. Solid decent options for the airport in a pinch.

This Chinese or Vietnamese front clerk should learn good customer service. She's so rude.

Grabbed a quick coffee to keep me awake for the time change. The airport was busy. The area to order is small. My coffee hit the spot. Hope it works.

i had a bit of a layover before my flight to Manila.. trekked all the way from D gates, to B gates, then back to my eventual departure in G gates. in my naivete, i didn't realize how far the terminals were from each other but man was the food worth it. the folks at Mama Go were so kind; and it was refreshing to see my culture's cuisine at an airport. the food was delicious especially the chicken bbq skewers i had.

It was okay, I feel like I saw all the hype reviews and set my expectations too high, and also the meat entrees might be more exciting than the vegan meal that I got. I got the 1-entree combo plate with the vegetable stir fry, pancit rice noodles, and a veggie spring roll. The spring roll was very good, crispy and flaky. The stir fry had a nice flavour but was a little plain to have as a main entree (as in it felt like it should be a side to something more substantial), and with vegetables you can tell when something has been sitting under the warmer for a while - which is okay, it is what it is and I wanted something fast, but there is just a certain taste/texture to pre-cooked food that is less exciting than getting something freshly made. I liked the texture of the rice noodles and the flavour that was imparted by cooking them with veggies. I also got an iced ube latte with coconut jelly, which was pretty good. They use good oat milk which made it very creamy. I know airport food tends to be more expensive than comparable food in the real world, but I was still pretty taken aback that my entree and bubble tea together was about $30. I didn't think it was anywhere near worth $30 for this cafeteria food and regular bubble tea. I thought this was inflated even by airport standards. So, it's fine, I'm glad I tried it because I like to patronize a local business instead of a mega chain, and the people were super nice. However, I was not so impressed with it that I'll be running back if I fly through SFO again. It is possible I just ordered the wrong thing.

So good, adobo with garlic rice is the best Arroz caldo, siopao are very good as well

Pretty good food! Take-away restaurant where the food is premade, so the service was fast. It was a bit loud being by a children's playground, but that's just part of being in an airport. The chicken curry was ok, but the pork curry was delicious! I'd love to come back here when I'm traveling.

The food is good. The employees are not friendly. They rush you even though there's no one else in line. Definitely can do better.

Amazing!! All the food I've had here is amazing. Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner lol. When my husband and I went to New York, we had to stop by here to grab food. It was all so flavorful. The staff are so nice and they have great vegan options too. I love the chicken adobo (which you can get for breakfast too), kaldereta and the kare kare. The garlic rice is a show stopper. Love this place !

If you're at SFO terminal 1 you MUST go here! I ordered the 2 entree combo with garlic fried rice, pork bicol, beef kaldareta, and veggie spring roll. The flavors were rich and every bite had me wanting more. The bicol was a great balance of creamy and spicy, and the sauce for both entrees was perfect consistency. It paired so well with the rice too! I also ordered a jasmine green iced tea, good refreshment on a busy warm day. Service was easy and quick. Food labeled well and workers were friendly. I loved the variety of options to choose from :) I recommend this spot to anyone looking for a fulfilling meal before their trip.

Lo and behold...there is a Filipino spot out in SFO? Awesome. Our flight was delayed and I came across this gem. SFO has quite a bit of competition with all of the food choices but saw that Mama Go's was within a few steps of our gate. Had to give it a try! Lumpia - good, crispy, tasty filling Adobo - perfect vinegar/salty ratio Caldaretta - tender Garlic rice - why not? They also serve boba if you want a milk tea before heading out. I thought for airport food, this was even better than some Filiino restaurants out there. 4 solid stars.

Mama Go's was actually easily some of the best food I've had in SF despite being inside of an airport, and definitely some of the best Filipino food I've had. I ordered the chicken adobo with lumpia. It was really tasty and very reasonably priced as well. There was also some sort of soup to accompany it that was tasty as well. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised with Mama Go's and hope they have locations outside of the SF International Airport (albeit I didn't check).

Mama Go's was right next to my gate and I had to indulge! They have a variety of choices of cuisine. I loved the arroz caldo!

Located in terminal 1, Mama Go's took the place of the old Goldilocks. Filipino food is hard to keep fresh and appetizing on the hot tray. I think most people here order because the line is short and they have fast service. I think the portions are small for what you are paying for and traditionally Filipino food is very filling and plentiful. I ordered the two combo plate $18 with double adobo and half and half pancit and garlic rice. I'm not sure how the pancit bihon is vegan but it's pretty tasty. The garlic rice is very fragrant and the adobo could use more peppercorn. After eating this I was still hangry so I walked back to Starbird and had a chicken tender meal.

While waiting for our flight, we chanced upon this place and was super ecstatic to see a Filipino breakfast place in SFO. Service was fast. Server was professional. Counter was clean. Tocino was good and the garlic rice was fresh. Glad to support :)

A satisfying meal before our flight. The Pork Bicol was the highlight: a savory, creamy flavor bomb with a hint of spice. The Sibuya soup was delicious and refreshing. The Chicken Adobo was a bit sour and the Lumpia were okay. Definitely worth stopping by

Our tocilog and longgasilog breakfast was good. It comes with a good amount of serving. A bit pricey because it's located in the airport. Understandable.

Mama Go's serves a hefty portion size for a decent price compared to the usual overpriced airport food. I ordered a 2-entree combo platter with the Pancit noodles, chicken adobo and beef kaldareta and pork lumpia. It also comes with a side of miso soup and totaled to around $25. The food was generally okay but I was not a fan of the chicken adobo. The rubbery texture of the chicken combined with the grainy and salty sauce was not very appetizing. I think if you are very hungry and budget conscious, you can check this place out but otherwise I'd recommend the Asian food over at Bun Mee in the same terminal instead.

It's great place to eat at the airport has many choices of food but not cheap I especially like the garlic rice and the curry pork it's so tender my favorite food to eat there

It was like 6am and I was still sleepy and was getting hungry and I had to eat something that could be somewhat healthy. And wow! This place I just happened to walk pass to get to my terminal. They were baking everything fresh and I knew I had to get something but which one? I decided on the ham and cheese croissant. And as I chose my hot pastry out of the oven, I saw a Yelp sign saying 10% off if I do a Yelp checkin! Oh wow, I quickly had to juggle to open my phone and a pray I have enough time to do Yelp Check in to cashier as the line was moving closer to cashier! Yes made it in time and I was able to get my 10% off. Wow this place is great! I like it! I am not sure if they have a cafe outside of the airport but they are good. Better than Starbucks! Yummy in my tummy for this early morning.

I ordered 2 item combo, it comes with rice, and in my case curry chicken and adobo chicken. All tasted excellent. Also comes with spring roll and excellent soup. All for about $18.

Filipino food at the airport. We tried this spot out before our flight. The food tasted really good but way overpriced. 3 combo plates and 3 drinks costs $80. Yikes!

I just tried this food in the SFO airport and it was beyond delicious. The Adobo chicken and to garlic rice was off the charts. and the veggies, egg drop soup and egg roll were superb. This is the first Filipino franchise to operate at a major airport and I hope they can become a household name in the future. I can't wait to go back.

Good service and tasty food! It wasn't cheap... But since when can you find cheap food at an airport? It's funny, but I'm actually not the world's biggest fan of rice. But this garlic rice was really really good. I think the garlic in the rice was roasted garlic. Located at the far end of the B concourse.
