"This is the best meal I've had in Charlotte. I cannot overstate how good this food and whole experience was. From the plantains and sauce, to the appetizer, to my main meal. Everyone enjoyed their meals, but I had the fettuccine and omg it is the best fettuccine I've ever had. In my life. It was smokey and rich and the flavor sits with you. Service was great, we had Harold and he was very attentive and helpful (also responsible for my fettuccine recommendation). We're going to be back."

"We have been waiting and very excited for Panko to open, we finally got here for our anniversary dinner and it was amazing. Great atmosphere, lively, great service by the team. The ceviche and octopus to start were so good, and we paired a nigiri with the beef tenderloin for the main. Everything was flavorful and well seasoned. We finished with the flan which was well set and delicious. The cocktail list is great and the mezcal and pisco cocktails shouldn’t be missed. Go try Panko asap!"

"Panko was an experience suited for NoDa. Every dish was exceptional and our waiter Harold was exceptional, talk about polite and knowledgeable about the cuisine. He never missed a beat on our table. The restaurant transitioned to an experience complete with a flute playing great DJ. I was grooving and incredibly enjoyed my dinner. My friends and I left amazed at the great experience. The Owner Luis was the cherry on top of a great dining experience. I will definitely be back."

"Had a great experience with my wife here! Our server Laura and the manager Juliana were very attentive to our dietary needs and know everything about the menu and flavors. The Alfredo panko and chaufa are excellently made with detailed plating. Paired with the pineapple coconut lemonade there is a great range of flavors. Chef Felix also came to great us and explain further how they make the plates and a few of the custom salsas/marmalades. We will be back soon to try even more of the menu!"

"We had such a great experience here! The staff, from management to our waitress, were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Our waitress gave excellent recommendations, and every dish she suggested was a hit. We drove 40 minutes to try this place, and it was well worth the trip. The vibe is cute, with a Dj in the front with a flashing light that adds a fun touch. The food was great, especially the bonbon appetizer. We’ll definitely be back!"
