Palacio Lung Fung has been serving authentic Chinese cuisine in Panama since 1973. It is known for its traditional 'old school' Chinese restaurant ambiance and unique dim sum cart service, where dishes are brought directly to tables for selection.
Customer perception is mixed but generally positive, with many praising the tasty food, especially the dim sum, roast pork, and fried rice. Reviewers often highlight the traditional, 'old school' Chinese vibe. However, some describe the atmosphere as chaotic and loud, particularly during peak times, with challenges in ordering due to a lack of menus and potential language barriers. Service can be inconsistent, with some finding it excellent and others experiencing difficulties tracking down staff.
Palacio Lung Fung is a long-standing institution in Panama City, celebrated for its traditional approach to Chinese dining, including the distinctive cart service for dim sum, which is a cultural experience in itself.
The restaurant is open daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, making it suitable for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It can be very crowded, especially during breakfast or brunch times, which are popular for dim sum.
