    First time I have ever come. It is really amazing, food is cheap, very tasty and healthy. Only non-cheap thing are drinks BUT you can have free green tea or fresh water. Simply awesome.

    Amazing little Fonda with a huge selection of vegetarian and vegan, Asian-inspired food with a very, very good price! The best place to eat I‘ve been in Panamá City! It is a little bit hidden, a few meters away from the street but you can spot it from there. They offer something like a buffet with plenty of different vegetarian and vegan options and you can choose whatever you want, each portion costs 0,70$ and they are not small. I felt full with 3 portions and thought they were pretty tasty. Negative is that they serve everything in take-away non-reusable plastic-plates but the sitting ambient is ugly anyway so I would recommend to grab the food for take-away. If you are able to you can bring a reusable box and get your food in there. They accept credit cards. 5 stars because of the price-quality-relation!

    Buffet style with many choices, and we'll be back to try out more of them. Not big on ambiance, but low prices ($10 for lunch for two) and good food. Pay attention to your smartphone map because their one sign is not visible until you are almost at the door.

    Total awesome, simple setting, modest, but honestly the best vege food I've had in ages. Good quality, only thing would be great to reduce rubbish and not have disposable plates. Otherwise from a vegetarian perspective - epic

    buffet style restaurant, 70ct per opinion. for $2.80 you have a very good value for money meal. the food is good but cold and unfortunately they use styrofoam plates and cups and plastic cutlery, even if you eat in 👎🏻

    So good! Lots of vegan options and very affordable. I got a full plate with 3-5 different items plus lentil soup and half an avocado for $5. Excellent lunch place.

  • 3/5 jea n. 1 year ago on Google
    The selections were plentiful and I was hungry after traveling all morning. I tried the gluten, sweet potatoes, vegan mushroom patty, mixed veggies with eggplant, mixed rice and kidney beans. All room temperature to cold. I wish I’d gotten up to ask for it to be heated up in the microwave. I honestly don’t use them but this would’ve been an emergency and good reason. They had pineapple and apple handheld fruit turnovers too. Apple was tasty. Would try again first thing in the morning because the food was tasty. Like another person said, very wasteful with foam and plastic. Wish they had plant based food containers and utensils. Really great price for the money and nice owners. #Veganuary

  • 5/5 Jorge R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great to have so many vegetarian options for cheap. Everything I tried was very good.

  • 5/5 Michael Y. 6 months ago on Google
    BRING YOUR APPETITE! This is the closest thing to US all you can eat buffet. The prices you cannot beat either. The food is amazing has many traditional Asian cuisine (egg rolls, noodles, etc) along with tradional American (pizza, pasta, potatoe salad). Everything is phenomenal. We get 3 large take out dishes for about $15 and it feeds us about two huge meals. Well worth navigating the somewhat difficult street parking situation. It has vegan and vegetarian friendly with ~85% of the items are vegan friendly. What a great place for healthy, great tasting, food that doesn't hurt your wallet.

  • 5/5 Toms A. 2 years ago on Google
    Most affordable vegetarian & vegan restaurant in Panama city with great variety of options. Almost everything is vegan, some dishes are vegetarian. Especially awesome place for abundance of meat substitutes.

  • 5/5 Tim T. 3 years ago on Google
    Very nice vegetarian option for a very reasonable price. 70 cents per dish and 3-4 will fill you up. We (2) shared 5 and it was enough. They clean good, have a bathroom and are nice people. They close at 3:00 pm.

    This is a lovely little gem in the centre of Panama. It’s an ordinary canteen-style place where locals eat. It’s good value, the staff are efficient and friendly and the food quality/choice is great. I ate there a few times at lunchtime and loved it. Well done guys

    Good vegetarian food and fair price. With a reduction in plastic usage (switchable to samething like bamboo) could be easily become a net zero restaurant.
