How Panama City Came to Have Some of the Best Dim Sum in Latin America

"Wah Kee offers a wide variety of Cantonese dim sum delicacies, served from a traditional push cart. The dim sum includes juicy shrimp har gow, meatballs with watercress, and rice paper rolls with char siu pork. The dim sum service is typically available only during brunch hours, followed by a seafood-forward menu featuring Cantonese banquet-style dishes."

The restaurant is located on the second floor, requiring the use of stairs to access it. A diverse menu was available, featuring options such as soup, fried rice, and duck, among others. The wait time was approximately 10 to 20 minutes. While the dishes were exceptional and demonstrably fresh, the rice presented a minor textural issue; it was somewhat firm. Nevertheless, the server readily replaced the rice without hesitation. In summary, the dining experience and service were outstanding.

Wahkee – Dorado is located on the second floor, and there’s no elevator. The space is large, making it a great venue for big gatherings. Despite it being mid-afternoon, the place was quite busy. Unfortunately, the service was minimal. We sat for a long time without being attended to and had to actively seek out the waitstaff to get any service. We ordered a few small dim sums, which were quite authentic. We would have ordered more if the service had been more responsive, but didn’t want to deal with the hassle. Overall, it’s a place to visit for the food, not the service. There seems to be little incentive to improve the service, as the restaurant was still full even in the afternoon.

This is the most luxurious dim sum restaurant around. Once upstairs, you will see an interior built for royalty. Statues, carpeted floor, uniformed staff, all inside a professionally designed environment. The food is classic dim sum ushered around in push carts. They also serve specialty dishes a la cart. Prices are very reasonable. Our table had five people, four of which were seniors. After the senior discount, our total cost was just over forty dollars. We had mostly classic dim sum dishes from the push carts. The downstairs also includes tables but those are primarily meant for diners of the bakery which shares a space with the restaurant. It is an incredibly clever design. A separate business on the main floor in the form of a premium bakery and the beautiful restaurant upstairs. As a result, both businesses attract a trendy crowd. No one will ever blame this place of being understaffed because there are a ton of employees. Even the bakery downstairs is overstaffed but that makes sure that customers are served fast. As a result, service is top notch. This place elevates the visual dim sum dining experience.

I loved the food in this Asian restaurant, the servers very helpful. We ordered some very tasty calamari and the delicious house fried rice, they have a honey-based sauce that is a success. under the restaurant they have a very interesting pastry shop

Chinese restaurant, they offer a very good variety of Dim Sum / Chinese breakfast from Monday to Sunday. You may order at any time of the day, only could take some time for chef to have them ready. In house prepared roasted duck every day. Peking Duck is also available on the menu. Restaurant is very nicely decorated, looks very high end Chinese restaurant, price is similar to other similar major Chinese restaurants. Wahkee is located on the 2nd floor, downstairs is MISAWA bakery of El DORADO area. You can order anything from the bakery, they will bring to you at Wahkee. Very convenient.

No matter where black americans go some chinese folks will always hate them even if they don't have a reason to. After shopping in El Dorado mall I thought I would check this place out as it was starred on my Google maps. I was not received well as a solo diner which could be because the chinese lady that sat me already had a problem with me anyway. She acted like she didn't want to recommend anything after I ask her in spanish. I asked in the same way I ask Panamanians every time I go to a restaurant so I knew she understood. I then watched how she greeted all the other incoming diners which was with a smile and friendliness. So a friendly Panamanian man ended up tending to me even though I wasn't in his section. The only issue I had with him was when I asked him to box my food to go, he stopped at another table to take their order with my plate in hand and then went to the host stand and set my food down behind it to place the order of the diners whose table he stopped at. Mind you, I was in close proximity to the kitchen so he should have told them one minute and put my food in the kitchen. Lastly, I had the cucumber salad whichnwas good and also the dish I wanted to go. The only issue was that the cucumbers where not cut the same size but look like someone broke them into various pieces and called it a salad. Maybe I dodged a bullet by not taking it with me. When the man tried to tell me I left my bag, I did respectfully let him know why I did to which he apologized.

I request steamed vegetables and the waitress came back with vegetables and glass noodles fried in oil. If you can't give what people request don't start selling them what they never asked for.
