Sunly Restaurant

Sunly Restaurant is a long-standing favorite, particularly renowned for its authentic Cantonese cuisine and traditional Dim Sum experience, which is often served tableside via push carts—a delightful and rare tradition. ​The food is consistently praised for being delicious, fresh, and served in generous portions (many dishes are large enough to share). Favorites include the shrimp wonton, sweet and sour chicken, and the wide selection of Dim Sum. ​The restaurant boasts a large, spacious environment, making it perfect for both large family gatherings and special events, with private VIP rooms and event spaces available. ​The main takeaway is fantastic food and atmosphere, but be prepared for potentially chaotic service during peak hours (especially weekend Dim Sum), as the staff can sometimes seem overwhelmed. If you're looking for flavorful, authentic Chinese food in a classic setting, Sunly is a must-try.

Classic dimsum served in a banquet hall style Chinese restaurant in el Dorado, Panama City. While it was very interesting to try new fusion in the dimsum, such as passionfruit coconut pudding or red shrimp and char siu rolls, the flavor wasn’t entirely authentic, which serves the purpose of catering to everybody in Panama. The chicken feet were cooked in a saltier soy sauce than how it’s cooked usually for dimsum. Certainly if you’re looking for authentic Cantonese dimsum, your best bet is Hong Kong Bakery. But I’d say give this at least a try so that you can make your own opinion.

Never disappoints. The food here is amazing. Service is outstanding. And the price is very affordable.

This is one of the best places for dim sum if you like spacious and fancy. A remarkable restaurant serving traditional Chinese food in a spacious environment of two floors. Large dining hall and private rooms on the main floor. Event space and sunday dim sum above. This is one of a few places that you will see dim sum being strolled around on push carts, much to the delight of aficionados. It resides in the middle of a busy commercial area and just around the corner to the very first indoor mall. Parking is not for free. The machine at the entrance will dispense a white card when you drive in. Give it to the restaurant staff and they will scan it, effectively canceling the parking fee. A bit of trivia. Their original restaurant under a different name started in the original chinatown. Amazingly, it still stands there to this day. In fact, it is the only original restaurant in avenue B that is still in business after all these decades. A testament to the family's culinary prowess.

This place definitely lives up to its reputation in being one of the best Chinese restaurants in Panama! Food was so fresh and tasty and the service was outstanding! I can't wait to go back!

One the best places in Panama if you're looking for traditional, fresh and tasty Chinese food. I believe that like with any other Chinese restaurant in Panama, coming with someone that speaks the language helps a lot to get into the intricacies of this complex but very rewarding experience of cuisine. But if not, don't be discouraged to ask the waitresses about the ingredients and wide variety of vegetables, meats, and spices contained on your plates. Definitely a must if you're looking for a great taste of asian cuisine.

Some of the dishes here are so good that I rate them on a world scale. The chef is 1st class with the ancient old recipes that are mouthwatering.

Surprisingly good dim sum in Panama. Good fixing for Asian food. $3.10 for S. $3.65 for M and 3.95 for
