I am Fan of Mario Castrellon’s restaurants, go often to Maito, Botánica and Tacos La Neta. He is one of the best chefs in Panama. I want to try Mai Mai because I thought was according to him. Place is beautiful with a Nice terrace. Open Kitchen made a distinct touch. Service is not according with the place, one server trying to put a third of the bottle wine in a glass, I had to stopped ( very commercial and umpolite, does not apply specially in a place were you find an 300.00 dollars bottle) Food is good but not as I expected from a Mario Castrellon Restaurant. Menu is not so big as other similar places, some good some normal. Music was like a Chiva Parrandera, does not match either. If you want to go tho have a Drink on the beautiful terrace and have some appetizers work but if you want to have Mario Castrellon dinner, go to other restaurants of the group or other options in Panama.

Tienen especificado en el menu si un plato es gluten free pero no aclaran que parte del plato no es gluten free. Por suerte consultamos a pesar de la especificacion y nos dijeron que no era gluten free y no se nos ofrecio la opcion de cambiarlo por nada. Su solucion era que vuelvan a realizar ese plato de manera GF pero para ello deberiamos esperar 30 minutos más. No se llegaron a disculpar ni tuvieron la cordialidad de no cobrar el plato (siendo que la mitad del plato no se pudo consumir por no ser GF). Y agrego, que por suerte consultamos sobre la veracidad del GF del plato si no hubiesemos terminado en emergencia y a pesar de esto que fue evitado por nosotros mismos, el restaurante no fue capaz de tener una amabilidad con nosotros. No es la primera vez que vamos, lo que fue peor ya que jamas nos hubiesemos imaginado el trato tan desinteresado. Hablamos con el gerente y su trato fue igual de desinteresado, les interesa que les vaya bien pero no cuidar a sus clientes habituales. Deberian tener a alguien mas capacitado en resolver problemas de los clientes. Si la persona que no puede consumir gluten consumia ambas partes del supuesto plato GF, hubiesemos terminado en el hospital y ahi TAL VEZ hubiesen sido mas considerados por el simple hecho de que se les generara un problema legal. La verdad lamentable.

Summarize this into 50 characters. I was very excited to try this restaurant while on my trip to Panama City, unfortunately it left a lot to be desired. The good: The karaage and tiradito mai mai were both amazing appetizers. I feel like most of the karaage that I’ve tried in the past were a little dry and flavorless, but this was quite the opposite. The fish of the day for the tiradito was salmon. It was amazing and flavorful. The restaurant is very aesthetically pleasing and picturesque. All of the food was displayed nicely. The bad: The restaurant was quite loud, I could hear several conversations around me. Also the staff was not very personable and didn’t tell us the contents of the sashimi that we ordered. This could be due to a language barrier. With the sashimi moriasawe, I didn’t realize it only came with four types of fish. The fish itself was okay, but had a very mild flavor. Overall, I probably would not recommend this restaurant based on the service and the food that I ordered. Perhaps if I made different choices, I would feel differently.

Great experience. We sat outside at the bar and were served by a great bartender. Drinks were made right in front of us and appetizers came out one at a time and not all at once - we managed to consume everything super quick because it was all so delicious! We ordered a bunch of plates off the appetizer menu and everything was f real and delicious. Highly recommend the duck dumplings. I could have eaten 10!
