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.

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...
Read moreG Squared (now J Squared) offers the best a restaurant can offer, a terrific kitchen. Don't go there expecting to find a fancy place, the restaurant look it's average.

G Squared is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to in Metro Manila. Of course the price is a little higher than an average restaurant, but it's worth every peso. A place to keep coming back with your family and/or friends....

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...
