    The restaurant is much smaller than it looks in the photos. Ambiance it’s just ok, a bit boring. The food was good but the service was very slow and when it was last call for food and even drinks, the server didn’t even notify us which was very upsetting as were were still dining, barely in the middle of our dinner and still needed to order more food. We left still a bit hungry after that experience. There are better restaurants in Panama.

    I am a regular at this restaurant, and regret to say that on this visit the food was so dissapointing. Ordered the asado de tira (short rib). It was overcooked, dry and rough. The cuts where thin with lots of chewy cartilage or fat. The white rice was soaked in water. The sashimi cuts so thin and not fresh.

    Makoto salad and steak robata are crowd pleasers. Nice ambiance, especially in the speakeasy. Had a DJ playing retro vinyl which added to the ambiance. On the expensive side.

    Fue muy agradable, la comida, la presentación, el servicio. Para los que han ido primera vez es un poco dificil entender el menu, pero siempre te dan recomendaciones del chef, asi que irse por las recomendaciones es bastante bueno. La comida es realmente oriental y variada. Lo único que no me dejó satisfecha y no es tanto el restaurante sino el mismo edificio, son los estacionamientos, algo complicado y los guardias son poco agradables
