I enjoyed the kinilaw here. Second best in Davao, for the best go to Yellow Fin. However, since they charged the same price (200 pesos) as Yellow Fin, I felt that the portion here was much smaller. The taste was still very good nonetheless.

I would have liked to try their grilled dishes but they were all oversized for one person.
I came to Davao just to have tuna here, after I saw it on Mark Wiens' video. Walked here straight from the bus terminal which is just opposite the restaurant.

First of all, best kinilaw I have ever tried in the Philippines. They have half ripen mango in it which is unique, and they drain all the liquid away prior to serving making the dish taste very fresh. The ten hours bus ride from Butuan just for this was worth it.

I wish I could give the restaurant five stars but everything else they sell by weight, there's a limit of 400 gr minimum order, and as I was there alone, there was no way to finish that by myself so I wish they offered a smaller portion as everything was geared towards groups of three or four people.
