We decided to eat here after reading a review in our Frommer's book. Even though the book said reservations were recommended, we decided to wing it and show up with none. It was fine. They fit us in right away.

The food was INCREDIBLE. Loved it. I had shrimp (spicy) with rice and my husband had some kind of black bean fish with rice. We split Spring Rolls which came with an AMAZING sauce. The service was perfect and very attentive.

Highly recommend this place.

I love Chinese quisine so I thought I would get a pic of the place to bring about the flavour and imagination before I visit as it will definitely be a food place I will be putting on my lis.

I ate here last night. Great Chinese food with a definite Panamanian twist. Be aware that the dishes do not come with rice as they do in many Chinese restaurants, so order accordingly. The chow mein is awesome and the sangria is the best I've had in Panama thus far. As lordiz said the waitstaff was very attentive, and although our waiter dissappeared mid-meal another one took his place without any pause in service. Best of all, it's not very expensive. I think all told I got out of there for $50 for dinner and drinks for two people. On a side note they do automatically include a 10% gratuity in your bill.

Definitely something worth a visit. I just love chinese food but it's very hard to find a good one. No offense to anyone, but it seems to me that any chinese feel entitled to open a chinese restaurant based just on his/her origin, regardless of how well they actually cook. I think the biggest disappointment was Spain, we couldn't find a decent restaurant in the entire period of 3 years we were there!

I think it was the Chicken fried rice that I like the best. My family said they liked Don Lee better.

Warning!!!

Last night I visited this place. Very bad food... you ask for a "mariscada" that is made of sea food and it cames with more vegetables than anything. Is not tasty, and is not worthed. Nothing better to say about any of the other plates, bad cooked and not balanced in the flavours. Very expensive for a bad service and bad quality.

Advertencia!!

Anoche visité este restaurante. Pides una mariscada, que se supone tiene marisco y te llega un plato rebosante de vegetales, con alguna gamba y sepia perdida entre ellos, se supone que es salteada y te llega hervida. Los Sau mai se suponen rellenos de lomo de cerdo, gambas, cebolleta, setas, etc. y sólo saben a cerdo... no hay equilibrio en sus ingredientes. Los Wan Tun de gambas... otro desastre, ni rastro de gambas y mal cocinados nadando en una salsa de soja que dejaba mucho que desear. Y para rematar los fideos con gambas, más de lo mismo, verduras fideos mal cocidos y tres gambas en guerrilla.
Carísimo, mal servício y mala comida... qué más se puede decir?

Definitely going to have to try this out. I am a fiend for chinese food.
