We love this place! After 5 delightful trips for lunch, dinner, & party it was time to write a review, because this is now our favorite dining experience in all Panama City! This is not a traditional cuisine, nor is it trying to be. They've made substantial modifications to familiar favorites, but their unique menu has many perfectly balanced and delightfully flavorful dishes that are inspiring to enjoy. Consistently beautiful presentation and culinary quality. Cocktails are creative, generous, and diverse as well. The service has been exemplary every time we've visited. Our favorite waiters there are Abdiel and Francisco. Having worked as a waiter in high-end California restaurants, I can say that I am picky about waitstaff and tip well only when it is deserved. I tip very well at Noa Nikkei, and you should too. The vibe changes dramatically on an evening when the DJ pumps up the volume, the disco lights come out, and the bartenders start juggling fire. Earplugs help one enjoy the good times longer. We will return for business lunches. We will return for romantic dinners. We will return for dance parties and celebrations with friends. We're not in Panama often, but when we are we come at least once per trip.
