Fish 153 - Dumaguete City

Probably the best Korean style food in all Dumaguete. The food is perfect for filling a empty stomach, the food taste is beyond perfection. And as odd as it sounds their staff actually don't wish to be tipped. Some foods have longer wait times , however all the information on wait times for your order are explained to you before you order to ensure you understand how long certain foods take to prepare.

One of THE BEST places you can try authentic korean foods. Their unlimited samgyupsal is worth the price accompanied with their superb side dishes that may vary from time to time. This is definitely one of the top restaurants I would recommend you try when visiting Dumaguete.

Whether you dine in or simply buy your Korean cravings for home dining, this is the perfect place to go

As far as I know there are not many Korean restaurants in Dumaguete and it took me some time to discover this pearl of restaurants. Fish 153 is not only a restaurant, it's also a shop where you can buy Korean specialities. The menu is extensive and it took some time for me to decide between all the dishes. But the menu shows a photo of each dish which was a good help for me. Fish 153 serves a vareity of dishes that appeals to different kinds of tastes. They have fish, pork, beef, vegan, and noodle-based dishes. I chose the classical Korean dish Bibimbap. The portion was big and delicious. I was the only dining guest at the time but there were few others coming in and bought things from the shop.

We walked out of Soban after getting enough of "out of stock." We went to Fish 153 to buy some Korean products from its store. On entering, we found out it was a restaurant as well. Several Korean couples and groups here eating decided us to give it a try despite its modest decor. We were glad we did. My beef bulgogi was first rate and my wife lived their "best sell" spicy dish. Give it a try. Half a block from Siliman. Kimchi is sold for takeout by the kilo. Just fine.
