Dampa in Macapagal is a nice place to go to whenever you're craving for seafood but most of the time, it is crowded also. Luckily, nearby Hobbies of Asia is fast becoming the "new" dining area along Macapagal.
Uni3 GastroHub is one of the new and exciting "paluto" restaurant in that area. Although the restaurant is quite new, the owner, Mr. Patrick Lozada, has years of experience thanks to the famous Trinity Seafood Restaurant.
Uni3 GastroHub has a seating capacity of 120-130. It is spacious and has a more relaxed ambiance. The kitchen can also be seen from the dining area so you can watch how your food is being prepared. All the staff that we met are friendly and helpful.
The restaurant is great for parties and get-togethers especially this Holiday Season.
Shrimps in Oyster Sauce. So good and fresh. The only downside was we took so many photos of it before it was served that the skin stuck to the flesh of the shrimp. Be prepared to eat tons of rice though. ;)
Buttered Crabs. Daughter enjoyed this. I know I'd enjoy this too but too lazy to wash the butter sauce off my fingers. My loss is her gain.
Calamares. Now this is an all-time favorite of mine. I can literally feast on this every day. The squid was tender and the batter was flavorful already that there's really no need to dip it on the mayo dressing.
Sinigang na Panga ng Tuna. The broth was refreshing and I like that they added "mustasa" instead of "pechay" or "kangkong." Its a nice blend of sour (broth) and bitter (mustasa) flavors. Thumbs up!
Sweet and Sour Fish. Sorry I skipped the fish. But my tablemates had fun eating it so it must be good.
Baked Mussels. Another love! But I wish for big fat ones next time. Hehe
We also had fried chicken and pancit guisado. The pancit was so delicious. Its not dry and bland like the other pancit I've tasted. The fried chicken was delicious also except that we were so full already because of the shrimp, crabs, and calamares. But it was really a great feast and we all enjoyed it.

I love Dampa. I am sure balikbayan relatives will love this too.
ReplyDeleteThe last time I was in Seaside was three years ago, ang tagal na so I'm not familiar with this restaurant or di ko lang siya napansin. Looking at the photos, mukhang spacious nga.
ReplyDeleteHi Michi. The restaurant is relatively new. One month pa lang yata. But the owner grew up in his parents seafood resto, which is called Trinity. One of the popular restos in Dampa. ;)
DeleteButtered Crabs sound yummy! I wonder why all the paluto restos are concentrated in that area...
ReplyDeleteI think its because of the proximity to the airport, cavite, and baclaran seafood market. :) - edel
Deleteoh my God, i miss seafoods and eating there at macapagal area.... we usually got to seaside. i might consider this new place though, after seeing your photos! yummmmm!
ReplyDeleteNagutom ako! I love seafood! :D
ReplyDeleteI love the sweet and sour fish! It's been years that I have not visited he dampa area!
ReplyDeleteWow, that place does look big! I remember going to some of the restaus in that area and they were really small and crowded.
ReplyDeleteI genuinely thought this is a bar because of the name! When I was scrolling down, nagulat ako na dampa pala. Hehehe
ReplyDeleteThey do plan to sell drinks and wine. Mejo level-up compared with most restos in dampa seaside ... they're also opening a videoke place just across the resto :) - edel
DeleteSeafooooddddd!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll give the resto a try when we hit the area next time. Thanks for sharing!
I love calamares and the shrimps! Good to know there's a new one, that's not crowded! Nice review, though!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to a dampa for a while now. Those shrimps and crabs! They are my favorite!!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried to dine in this restaurant. Nagutom ako sa shrimps promise!
ReplyDeleteWe've tried it there during my sister's birthday. They cook really well :)
ReplyDeleteWow, thank you! :) - edel
DeleteAww, I love Dampa and the "paluto" style, there are some restos there that we usually visit but we'll definitely try this new one as well.
