Isla Sugbu Seafood City

Everything was delicious most especially the garlic butter shrimps. However, the Mud Crabs look big but don’t have much meat inside them. Other than that, we’ll definitely be coming back to try more of the other dishes.

Got curious about a seafood paluto place right in the heart of a busy bustling metropolitan. Heard some great stuff plus they were on sale so why not? Alright, me and my friends came over here for lunch a few months back and was surprised with the cozy and chill interior. Honestly, I thought it was gonna be smelly but it wasn't. Damn! Totally posh place. Upon entering, you will see all the fresh seafood, meat, and vegetables on your left. There are also water tanks for more expensive variaties (like lobsters) which you can consume for an extra charge. The scheme here is that you go to the wet market area to choose your seafood and then choose how you want it to be cooked. They have preselected cooking methods for different fishes and seafood so you need not worry. If you need help, someone is there to assist you. Quite convenient! So, since me and my friends were such seafood freaks, we ordered a lot. Here's a run down. Salted Eggs Shrimps Well cooked and I love the subtle flavor of the salted egg since I really don't want it to outshine the freshness of the shrimps. Singaporean Chili Crab Nice flavor and well cooked but the crabs, too small to be enjoyed. Calamares Quite a surprise to be honest. Wasn't expecting it to be soooo good. The cut was different and the seasoning was just on point. We had a few orders of this, hahaha. Grilled Tuna Belly Very tender and still juicy so I commend how they cooked this. The second best food item here, nesxt to the calamares. Buttered Scallops Uhhmm.. I liked the sauce but for some reason I felt like the scallops were overcooked as they tasted rubbery. Too bad. I was really looking forward to this one. Overall, solid experience here.

Dined here for their promo of P888/pax. The resto 's space is huge, great for families or big groups. What we love here is you still get the 'dampa ' feels but in a clean, air-conditioned place. Of all the food we ordered, my faves are their crispy talangka, baked scallops with garlic butter cheese, and fried salmon belly teriyaki.

Second time going here! Yoohoo Must try: Kinilaw/kilawin Buttered shrimp Oysters(steamed/baked) Baked scallops Crablets Sinigang Shrimp/ fish Nyay: Tempura’s batter kinda thick Anything Singaporean, just not my taste Place is really nice, this is better than Dampa for me. If you would just want to chill and eat this is the place to go. If you want adventure with the “tawad” scheme go to Dampa somewhere in Cubao or Roxas. Price is a ‘lil cheaper if you can eat a lot in one seating. If not, then I am sorry you cannot take anything away. Plus there’s a fee for food that was not eaten. They are big on unfinished businesses and food wasting you know and so should you! LOL Tip: after lunch time is the best time to go here round 3-5pm as they still serve almost everything. Sometimes there is scarcity of scallops/oysters so plan ahead! Seafood lovers, attack!!!

We celebrated our traditional year-end party here last year. Food is great. Good thing malalakas kumain kasamahan ko. So sulit na sulit ang bayad.
