YakiTuna Grill — Restaurant in Davao City

Hungry for inato grilled seafood?

This resto serves an array of freshly roasted, Inihaw na tuna-Panga/buntot or squid.

Or if you prefer, fresh tuna head soup with garden fresh veggies. Their way of fresh garden veggies in the soup means putting the green leafy veggies-Malunggay, alugbati (malabar spinach) last on the hot boiling soup before it is served to you, either by the bowl or by the pot (with lid).

The veggies are NEVER overcooked!

These are just some of the home cooked-taste food being served here.

And the prices are very affordable.

What's more, the staff are so friendly and easy to talk to.

As this is a no pork resto, I was pleasantly surprised to see the place amassing with the lunch crowd.

Should you need appetisers, they have it. Cucumber, seaweed salad paired with freshly made Ginamos (bagoong bisaya-salted fish) paired with siling kulikot (labuyo) and a dash of fresh kalamansi will make you want to take an extra order of rice.

When in the vicinity of Obrero - Bajada area of Davao City, do try to taste what the locals patronise regularly.

They're open for breakfast and lunch.

Try it, you won't be...

So we sent here last night to have dinner. First of all we had a hard tjme looking for the place. The signage was not well illuminated.

The floor is dark with grime and the restrooms are filthy. Lot’s of tables are with dirty plates from previous customers. Maybe they just need more staff?

The food is their saving grace. We ordered native chicken tinola, grilled tuna panga, tuna kinilaw and pancit canton. Everything tasted good. I love the tinola which they served straight from the kaserola steaming hot. The tuna panga was so fresh and...

It’s your basic dining experience. Their grilled tuna panga is delicious. But I was a disappointed in their tinola and kinilaw. It tasted like it was cooked just for the sake of cooking. It was not made with passion or love. The kinilaw was bland. The tinola was so so. I had better tasting food in our office cafeteria. And to think this is YakiTuna Grill. They were supposed to give the best authentic tuna experience. I heard of this place many times. It was just challenging to dine there because of the parking space - street parking only. I’m glad I was able to try it there. But I may not...
