Yellow Fin Seafood Restaurant — Restaurant in Davao City

We had a big family meal here with 10 people, they handled it easily. My mom wanted to eat here because she said it’s Duterte’s favorite restaurant. We ordered 8 main dishes: clam soup, raw tuna kinilaw, crispy pata, adobo tuna tail, pan-fried tuna belly with tausi, pinakbet, shrimp in gata, and fried chicken. Everything was good, but my favorite was the crispy pata. This place has an excellent variety of dishes, the quality is well above average and it’s very affordable. I only had a few minor comments. Mangrove clams have more meat than other clams, which was too much for me. Make sure you like that sort of thing before ordering that dish. The shrimp in gata could have been plated in a more appetizing way. We were full by the time it came out and it got passed around without enthusiasm. I also ate their halo-halo, which was tasty, but I sort of liked the version I got at a chain restaurant more. The last comment is that the restaurant was noisy.

Another spot for seafood lovers who are travelling to Davao City. Although price-wise, this place is a bit expensive compared to other local seafood restaurants, but Yellow Fin has something unique which other restaurants couldn't offer.

First-time visitors to Davao are often intrigued by this Bagaybay, it is actually a tuna sperm. They can be fried to a crisp and served with calamansi. They sometimes call it the “foie gras of the sea” because it’s rich and delicious. I think Yellow Fin is one of the few restaurants who serves this unique dish.

Make sure Yellow Fin Restaurant is one of your a must-try places to visit when you're...

It took two hours for our food to arrive. I had to constantly wave my hands to get servers attention. I had to go out to the reception area three times for us to get service. Yes it was Mother's Day. However they were not overly crowded. We arrived at 12:50. Our reservations were at 1:00 p.m. We were a party of eight. People at adjacent tables came, were served, ate their food and left in the time it took for our drink orders to arrive. That took an hour. We had four different servers. Some of whom were discourteous and disrespectful. As I told the staff who were eating their lunch while we waited for ours, I would have been embarrassed if I was them. In fact I was embarrassed for the lady who had come in from the country to greet her new son in law and celebrate Mother's day. Only to be treated...
