    I had such a great experience at Niku. The restaurant is spotless, and you can actually see right into the kitchen, which is always a good sign. The atmosphere is amazing with a perfect balance of modern elegance and warmth. What really stood out to me was the service. Natalia and Moses were absolutely incredible. They were kind, attentive, and professional. They truly went above and beyond to make the evening memorable. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for top-tier dining in Panama.

    - Great ambience: amazing private room for dining = 8/0 - Food: steaks were top quality but sushi and ceviches/tiraditos not top quality: 6/10 (adding the steaks but more 5/10 considering the nikkei food) - Service: a lot of people working but not a top service you can find for the number of people working in charge of the service (more considering that the restaurant was 50% full) = 7/10 Value: higher prices and lower quality of the food than Makoto and Mai Mai = 5/10

    Fuimos a Niku con expectativas altas, pero lamentablemente la experiencia fue decepcionante en muchos aspectos. El nivel de ruido era tan alto que resultaba imposible mantener una conversación normal. No es un lugar para ir si buscas una cena tranquila. Tuvimos que devolver varios platos porque estaban excesivamente salados. Incluso pedimos repetir algunos, y la segunda vez venían con porciones notoriamente más pequeñas. También devolvimos tragos porque no sabían igual a los primeros, lo cual es inaceptable en un restaurante de la categoría que aspiran ser. Además, el ambiente no es nada familiar, para no ser explícitos. No volveríamos. La relación precio-calidad y la experiencia general dejan mucho que desear. Para lo que cuesta este restaurante, recomiendo mejor Makoto, Azahar, Aria y/o Bruttito.

    La calidad del sushi no estaba como esperabamos. Demasiadas salsas que opacaban el sabor fresco de los pescados.
