The place is warm and cozy with decent lighting as you enjoy pleasant conversations together with friends or family. The staff are also ready to suggest their specials which their frequent and returning customers always go for.
The Food
We had always been curious about their special “Sha-BANG” sauce so we ordered and got served with their savory seafood boodle fight with their signature sauce. Our taste buds just filled with pure delight and pleasure it lives up to its promise of giving that delicious taste with a ‘Bang!’ of seafood sensations in your mouth.
Their intricate methods of cooking brings out the flavors of the sauce infused with their shrimp, mussels, crab meat, together with its corn and crab balls – all while maintaining that balance of not overpowering the freshness that you can taste with each bite.
We were also served with their Grilled Squid and their Bangus both grilled and served at the right temperature which come with a tangy and tasty salsa that enhances that counterpoint concept of taste. One can tell that the chef carefully maintained the flavors of the seafood and the salsa so as to complement each other.
And wow, their Lobster and their Mussels served with cheese on top is definitely something first-time goers shouldn’t miss! Diners will savor the premium Swiss cheese paired on top of their well-cooked seafood bringing with it a delightful taste of the seas.
To help you down all of these scrumptious dishes, Pinoy Dampa Restaurant also serves a selection of Mojitos including Health is Wealth, Berry Happy, Passion Fruit, Blue Lagoon, and Adams Apple.
