I had a lovely lunch at Noa. The ambiance was nice. The service was ok, no great but acceptable. The Crispy Salmon Sushi was delicious. The Burrata Nikkei was incredible.

The reason I give Noa a 3 out 5 for service is because I had the remainder of my Sushi and Lobster Mac n Cheese prepared to go but when I got home some of my food was missing, which was disturbing.

Read moref you’re looking for a chic dining experience in Panama, Noa Nikkei is the place to be. On a Friday night, we were pleasantly surprised to find the restaurant not too crowded, allowing for a relaxed atmosphere where we could enjoy the evening without feeling rushed or cramped. As the night went on, the vibe picked up with more guests arriving, especially as the restaurant kicked off a live show. The ambiance was one of the highlights—modern, sleek, with a touch of warmth that makes you feel both comfortable and special. The food was good.

Watching them prepare drinks is an experience in itself, as they mix, shake, and pour with a flair that adds to the overall entertainment. It’s more than just enjoying a drink; it’s like a mini-performance. Overall, Noa Nikkei combines good food, a lively atmosphere, and...
Read moreAmazing dishes with incredible flavors, but of course with just as big of a price tag. That said, the quality of the food is very outstanding. Their beef is clearly sourced from a quality vendor, and their desserts are out of this world delicious.
Service was very nice, the staff is very aware of each table, and will periodically check in when necessary. Absolutely amazing.
The atmosphere is quite nice, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Definitely would recommend to anyone as long as you are ready to shell out the money for it. Then again, good quality always...
