A…read morebit touristy upon first glance , but once you taste the food, you realize this is the REAL DEAL when it comes to expert preparation of many northern Luzon dishes. You must try the Bangus! Pangasinan Milkfish (bangus), is world renown and nowhere else in the world can you experience this amazing dish. Even in Hawaii we have to settle for frozen/thawed milkfish and the quality is abysmal compared to the fresh caught Bangus here. A combination of fresh/brackish and salt water environment gives Pangasinan Bangus a unique flavor that cannot be duplicated nor preserved. I also recommend the grilled squid, but honestly everything here is exceptional as is the service and the staff. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Will be back again soon.

Plenty of parking spaces available. On a hot day, their security guard would even come to you with an umbrella and will walk you with it all the way to the door. The entire restaurant sits on stilts above a fishpond. It has a very rustic look and feel. We were seated immediately and our spot overlooked the entire pond. Party of 6. There were so many things I wanted to try. Patriarch went ahead and put an order of dishes he recommended and told us to add on whatever else we wanted to try. That we did. Patriarch's favorite is their own version of pinakbet. I understand why - this might have been the best one I've had compared to all the restaurants I've been to around this area. The vegetables were fresh - like they just plucked 'em out seconds before throwing them into the pot fresh - and so full of flavor. The meat was tender. The seasoning was perfect. Would recommend this all day. Crispy fried shrimp was what it was; lightly seasoned and fried crispy. Nephew and I popped one after another and couldn't stop... we even debated about taking an order to-go to snack later during the day! I haven't seen crispy kangkong on a menu since probably the last time I visited the homeland. It was a repeat must have. The leaves were dipped and fried in thin batter. How they managed to crisp the leaves are beyond me, but no matter: they were light and delicious. The crispy dinuguan got me curious since I'm more used to the regular version. It's basic, really - they fry the meat and later on slater the dinuguan sauce after. The only reason it stood out is because of the "crispy" part of it. Otherwise, it's just like regular dinuguan. The sinigang was a great palate cleanser. Good amount of tang, plenty of seafood to share with our party. The calamari was nothing out of the ordinary. Good crispy outside, nice chew inside. Pretty average. The bangus sisig was my favorite. I've had my share but this one is a little better than the rest. It might just be the way they seasoned it, but there was something different about it. Nephews said this is their favorite here so they never fail to order it whenever they visit. I understand. Service was mediocre. What made the experience even better was the warm breeze that came through the whole time we were there. It was so relaxing! Now THAT I really liked. 3.5 - 3.75 for now. Coming back, for sure.

It's been so long that I don't even remember what the place looked like but I'll say I was pretty impressed with the overall appearance. Two floors worth of seating situated next to water. What a view! Plenty of tables open and we chose to sit by the water. There are a couple of boatmen selling goodies from the ocean. (Not sure if they're affiliated with the restaurant, though.) The only thing I wanted to try was the crispy kangkong which came out less than crispier than I preferred but pretty good for a starter. (I left it to my party to choose whatever else they wanted.) Got to taste the binagoongan which had a hint of sweetness to it. Not bad either. The crispy catfish was amazing! That fish was no doubt fresh and meaty and juicy with the perfect seasoning. Didn't even need the dip. There was an order of sinigang and kilawin but didn't get to try those since I was focused on the fried fish and got full from it. Heh... FOOD: 4. SERVICE: 3. VALUE: 4. PARKING: Private lot. Plenty. Security guards were available with umbrellas to walk you to and from your car - suggest giving them a small tip. OVERALL: 3.5. Only thing I was really disappointed about is the nilasing na hipon - it wasn't available. (That was the one thing I had a long time ago that I really loved.) Boooo... Even more sad and disappointing is finding a pet monkey that's caged. That's no life, why bother having him/her in there just to imprison it. Otherwise, good stop. Hopefully they have that one I really what next time...

Waited for them to head count & put wristbands. But when time to head to the buffet line mostly foods was almost gone. Kept asking them how long more , all they replied was oh yes they are cooking more. OMG why they kept running out of foods if they even asked for reservations. Then people kept coming in on their own so us that had reservations had to wait for some other foods that was empty. No words from the staff or apologies came from any of the staff. It's sad because of how the restaurant runs . And kids are charged full price from 4 feet's above and under 4 feet's 300 pesos . They should charge by certain ages . Staffs are not trained well no customer service. We always asking what we need foodrinks & tissue not being refilled while needed always waiting. I don't understand why they can't accept cards when cash has been used as deposits. The difference wanted to pay with card the supervisor said no. I didn't asked for the deposit back I was willing to pay the difference on my credit card. Not acceptable....i will never refer my friends and family from abroad. I don't want them to get the bad service as we experience. This Dampa restaurant was at Dampa Urdaneta Pagasinan.

What a great selection: white rice, fried rice, sunny side up, scrambled eggs, corned beef, ham, two different kinds of tocino, fried fish, calamari, pansit, champurado, tortang talong, and I'm sure I missed some other dish(es.) Also comes with choice of drink - coffee, soda, hot/cold tea, etc... All that for the bargain price of 145PHP. (That's less than 3$US!) And don't let the price fool you - the quality of the food was worth way more than what they're charging. The staff were quick to replenish when any of the dishes ran out. They were also very attentive, making sure our glasses were filled with whatever drinks we had. The ONLY downside to it?! The location. It's on a main street where busses and jeepneys and cars go through. It wouldn't be an issue if the place was enclosed, but the only thing separating us diners from the whiff of traffic going by was a thin net-like window covering. But despite that... absolutely recommending and absolutely coming back!

I can't believe it's taken this long for me to write a review about Dagupena…read more I remember coming to this place as a kid many times when we lived nearby, but it wasn't until about a year and half ago when I finally came to visit as an adult. Party of 12, my aunt just did all the ordering for us. Big Bro and I remember just loving EVERYTHING. Fast forward a few months later, it was a must have for lunch. This time, party of 8, we decided a repeat of a few things. The sizzling bangus was a must have as it is the one thing they're known for. I saw the lumpia bangus as their special, so I had to have that as well. Drunken shrimp was also a must, and orders of calamari, pinakbet, bagoong fried rice, grilled prawns and crispy pata followed. And just like the last time, everything was fantastic. The sizzling bangus, marinated in perfection, was delicious as always. The shrimp, geezus, I couldn't stop eating. It was like popcorn on crack, it was gone in a minute. The pinakbet with fresh veggies was amazing. I only ordered the bagoong fried rice out of curiosity, but nothing above par. Ditto the lumpia bangus, but it's definitely something I would order again. Crispy pata was seasoned crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Didn't get to try the prawns as that was GodNiece's grub, but I heard good things. Seriously, though, we all left with the happies. We all succumbed to food coma not too long after. FOOD: 5. SERVICE: 3. It was a challenge trying to catch our server's attention, but I have to mention it is NOT his fault. They were clearly understaffed and overwhelmed. I hope upper management does something about this. VALUE: 5. Worth it. PARKING: Private. It can get full, but security guard will help guide you to a spot. OVERALL: 5. They have a true following which is why they've been around for about a century. It doesn't matter what day or time you come through - they will get packed. Just hope a table is available for you and your party upon arrival. One of me and Big Bro's favorite restaurants. Highly HIGHLY recommending.

First place we dined at when we arrived in the Philippines. This place does not disappoint…read more We were seated right away and brought menus and ordered bottled waters. We ordered grilled bangus, pinakbut and steamed rice. We didn't wait long and the food came out hot. The bangus was delicious and skin was crispy. The pinakbut was awesome and wasn't too salty. The ambiance was chill. Server was attentive and pleasant. Restaurant is a good size but not too large. There is more seating for larger or private groups in the back. The decor is very authentic Filipino design which I love about it that brings back old memories. Next time we visit Pangasinan again, we'll make it a point to dine here. We love this place. The restaurant is located on San Miguel very near Robinson's in Calasiao.
