The aji ( green) sauce was just hot without noticeable clean acidic flavor. The hot sauce was hot but had a gritty texture. UGLY: Nothing ugly but nothing to come back for.

Each sauce was better than the last, and I wanted to continue eating each one long after it was done. The octopus was delicate and melted in your mouth. The flavor combos in the volcano dish were so wonderful. It was like chips and dip. I was most excited for my meal. The pesto pasta with the hanger steak. EVERY.THING.WAS.AMAZING in this dish. I was savoring each bite. Getting sad when I was reaching the end. The pesto was packed with flavor. Creamy and aromatic. The hanger steak?! Oh boy... perfectly cooked. Juicy. Melted in your mouth. I wanted a lot more of that. What a great piece of meat. I was reallllly looking forward to dessert. And it did not disappoint! I got the s'mores dessert. I love s'mores everything. And this was an elevated s'mores like I never had before. The presentation was WOW. The smore was in a bag that they lit on fire at the table. The fire charred the marshmallow on top perfectly. The Carmel on top of the delegate shortbeard was melt in your mouth. Those shortbeard cookies were incredible. Buttery and crumbly. Perfect. The strawberry compote to mix with it was fresh and bursting with flavor. All the flavors melding together to light your taste buds on fire! I would LOVE to return and try some more items. We had a wonderful experience!

I had a really disappointing experience at Panka Peruvian Restaurant. The food was the worst I've ever had at a Peruvian place. The ceviche actually had pieces of ice stuck between the fish and the fried calamari, and the taste was awful. The quality of the seafood seriously needs improvement, as well as their beverages. Overall, I had a really, really awful time during my visit. I will never come back, and I definitely cannot recommend this restaurant based on my experience. read more

Thai & I - Bunnell…read more Ella--our daughter--has been craving Thai, so we made our way back to one of our go-to spots. She ordered the Thai Noodle Soup (pork), and she calls this her comfort food--her version of chicken noodle soup. When our family is sick, we crave chicken noodle... this is that for her. My husband and I always say we're going to try something new... and then we panic and order our usual favorites because we don't want to miss what we already know we love For him: Massaman Curry (chicken) + rice For me: Pad Thai (chicken tonight, but I've had it with shrimp before and loved that too) I'm a wimp when it comes to spice, so here's a little hack--order it low (I got a level 1 ) and then use the chili oil they can bring to the table to build your own heat. Total game changer. Service was a little behind tonight--it took a bit to get our drinks (just water and tea), but since we knew what we wanted, we ordered everything at once. Once the food hit the table, it came out fast, hot, and delicious. Staff is always friendly, and they handled a full house--multiple larger parties (8-12 people) plus all the regular tables--so it was definitely a busy night. Drinks took a minute, but everything else--from the food to the friendliness--more than made up for it. Atmosphere is casual--shorts, jeans, and business casual from people coming off work. We were seated immediately, and they have a good mix of booths and tables to accommodate different group sizes. Portions are solid. We all left with leftovers (which isn't always the case for us). Our daughter basically only had broth left because she loved it that much--she's already planning round two tomorrow by adding noodles and protein. On a normal night, we'd finish everything and be completely full, but tonight we stopped at satisfied instead of stuffed. Pricing: about $16-$17 per plate Appetizer must-order: scallion pancakes. You don't know what you're missing until you try them. We could easily eat 50... but you get about 8 Location is just off US1 in Bunnell--an unassuming building with a gem inside. Watch for the signage or you might miss it. Reliable, flavorful, and one of those places we keep coming back to--especially when the craving hits.
