The iconic restaurant of Davao city, pancit guisado and salted eggs are the top choice from their menu. Since childhood me and my family always dine here for dinner. I wanna know their secret recipe for the pancit guisado

Food is excellent at a very reasonable price. Kusina Davao is located in San Pedro street, few meters away from the city hall.Food are freshly cooked. They have breakfast meals, toppings, noodle meals, and many more.

Dabest gyud ilang siopao! And there’s no other way to say it.Kusina Dabaw is one of Davao’s oldest restaurants and treasured gems. They serve Chinese-Filipino dishes. They are famous for their siopao and lomi. In fact, every time I dine at Kusina Dabaw, majority of the tables always have those two specialties together. *wink*One time, we decided to order chicken mami and arroz caldo para maiba naman. The chicken mami was.. the broth lacked flavor. Even the condiments (patis and pepper) failed to save it. BUT the arroz caldo was good. The ginger was there. The thickness or “lapot” was perfect.The special siopao w/ salted egg is a MUST in every visit. About 5 inches big—big enough to fill an empty stomach. The dough is fluffy. The meat is flavorful. AND THE BEST PART: it’s always served hot and fresh. We’re definitely getting what we deserve. I highly recommend!And of course, the lomi. It’s guaranteed sulit and busog lusog. Great for any time of the day, best during rainy weather.I also commend the place itself. It’s neat and clean. Although it may get cramped during peak hours but I think that’s okay. It’ll give you that 90s Filipino/Davao vibe—a good nostalgia.As mentioned, the place really gets busy during peak hours, but the staffs do their best to accommodate all their customers’ needs and requests. They are well-trained employees, so don’t worry about receiving bad customer service. Moreover, a little kindness and consideration wouldn’t hurt on our part. Hmm?The only issue with Kusina Dabaw is that they don’t have proper parking spaces for its customers, but you can always find one along the street and it’ll only be a walking distance. Just a friendly reminder: be a good, responsible driver. Dili magpataka’g park. :)Last but not the least, they operate 24/7.

My go-to family resto. I love everything on their menu. My favorite is their garlic chicken and of course their Lomi. So much flavors in one place.

For the past 3 decades, not much of a change with the Siopas, truly distinct with Kusina Davao. Nwala lng ilahang sauce.

Loved the lomi and Lumpia. There is a reason the place has lasted almost 50 years...
