Panama - Sushi House

I never knew much about sushi before I got to Panama. Some sushi snobs will tell you that the sushi in Panama is not worth eating. Since "discovering" sushi in Panana, I have eaten in some of the best sushi restaurants in the US, and I still enjoy Panama's sushi, so it can't be that bad!!!

There are several places to choose from, but when it comes to sushi delivered to your door, I think Sushi House is hard to beat. The combination of quality and value is great, and they have a wide selection of sushi rolls and some tasty appetizers, including a carpaccio of tuna.

My regular order comprises the philadelphia roll (ask for it with fresh salmon, unless you prefer smoked which is the standard here), a spicy tuna roll, the unagi especial (that's the eel one with the eel on the outside and the sweet sauce), the mixed tempura, which is usually really good, and I like to order their breaded skewers of shrimp or shrimp and cheese. Sounds weird but it is actually very good. They have a crab salad also, called the Kani Tai salad, which is pretty tasty. Obviously I dont get all that for one meal, but those are my regular pickings.

Sushi House has two locations, one in Plaza New York, Marbella (where the American Airlines office is located), and one in Albrook, next to Farmacia Arrocha. Marbella telephone: 263-1122. They charge a $2.50 delivery fee, and deliver until 9pm.
