J Squared Palutuan — Restaurant in Pasay

We always eat at Dampa Macapagal, but out of all the restaurants we’ve tried there, J Squared Palutuan has to be my favorite! The food was super delicious—everything we ordered hit the spot. It’s not too expensive (but not exactly cheap either), just fair for the quality and serving size.

The place itself looks like your usual Dampa-style restaurant—nothing fancy or standout in terms of ambiance—but the food definitely makes up for it. The staff were all friendly and approachable, which made the experience even better.

My absolute favorite was the Adobong Pusit—seriously, it’s a must try! I’d go back just for that dish. Overall, solid choice if you’re planning to eat in Dampa. Will definitely come back!

What we tried: 1.) Adobong Pusit- 6/5⭐️⭐️ 2.) Calamares- 4/5 3.) Salted Egg Shrimp 4/5 4.) Steamed Shrimp- 5/5 6.) Sinigang na salmon belly sa miso- 5/5 7.) Baked with cheese Tahong- 4/5 8.) Buttered Chicken- 4/5 9.) Pancit Canton- 5/5 10.) Steamed with soy sauce...

A place to keep coming back with your family and/or friends....

I’ve been dining at this place for over 10 years, and it just keeps getting better! The seafood is always fresh and cooked to perfection, making every meal a delight. For a palutuan-style restaurant, their quality of food and service is top-notch. What makes it even more special is the nostalgia—back in college, my barkada and I would come here after class to share great food and even better memories. It’s amazing how this place continues to be a go-to spot for delicious seafood and...
