Matsuei Sushi Bar Panama

We had the himachi roll, chirashizusi donburi, the ceviche frito and the california roll with tuna instead of crab. The food is exceptional. The service is top notch. The ceviche frito on the menu made me skeptical reading the description but I was dumbfounded at the light fresh sea bass flavor! I’m a tuna lover and loved all of the sushi! These were two dinners and we will be back for a third tomorrow night as well! Third night here in a row and the food was phenomenal yet again! Vladimir provided excellent service all three nights! And Sergio is the chef that created all the amazing sushi! He should be called Chef Milagro (miracle) because his sushi is absolute perfection! I added a few more pictures: We asked for Chef Sergio to make me a special roll and it was amazing. He knows I love tuna! And the other plate is the Langostino Ajillo, also amazingly delicious.

This is my top 3 restaurants in Panama. It's the triple threat, excellent service (classy attention to detail with smiles and a very welcoming type of treatment, every restoruant-goers dream), excellent food (you'll want to come back for more, everyone does), and excellent New York/Cozy jazzy dimmed lighting type of ambient, very movie-esque... take someone special to fall in love again. P.S. if you get Alex as a waiter, you are in good hands.

Matsuei is an amazing restaurant! The sushi is perfect, fresh and delicious with good portion sizes. They have both classic rolls and some creative ones as well. The atmosphere is perfect! Warm lighting, soft music and a playful japanese aesthetic. The service is friendly, welcoming and attentive. Special shout-out to our server Edgar! We've been here twice and will definitely return.

Level of service, the quality of the food, the authencity of the place is just the cherry on top on having a great culinary experience in Panama. By far one of the best place to eat here. I come with my family and specially one of our favorite because they have a corner for kids entertainment. Abdiel, Alex and the whole team are kind, well prepared and provide the best service! I love it here!

The best place! We love to come here for clams! The rolls are always amazing and the seafood fresh. The service always is exceptional, Abdiel is the best! Sergio makes the best sushi too.

A fun and delicious experience. The staff were attentive to our needs and the menu is truly varied and extensive. Vegan and vegetarian options fill this menu. I got the cerviche fritos which was tempura battered sea bass bites which were hot and flavorful. I also got the chicken katsu curry bowl which came with the curry on the side to be poured at your leisure. The curry had that traditional Japanese taste which is sweet, mild and full bodied. The menu is now accessible from a QR code at your table which you use to get attention and order your meals. The cost was a bit more than I expected but the quality made up for it. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a Japanese meal.

We came here for takeout. We were told it would be 20 minutes but it took over an hour. The sushi was great, but the entrees were average. They tasted similar to what you’d get at a Chinese food court- fried chicken in salty sauce. For the price ($200 for four people), it was disappointing.

Nice place, cozy atmosphere, friendly staff. The food was fresh and tasty, portions really big (surprised us). Just good place for quite and a pleasant dinner.
