Tsugoi is a very nice place, but as soon as you walk in the smell of a floral disinfectant or cleaner comes over you. The menu is quite varied.Many of the items use the Asian name and ingredients and if you are not familiar with them, you may not really know what the item consists of. We ordered many items know we will share our plates. Miso soup was very good. Tuna Carpaccio was nothing extraordinary, and it should have been served colder in my opinion. The Tuna Tataki was a bit fishy and again, should have been served colder. Interestingly, almost all of the dishes go by their respective Asian names except the Yakitori, which is called bay its Spanish name of "brochetas". We ordered the brochetas of chicken and beef fillets, along with a spicy tuna roll and another "crunch" roll. called Toriniku. The beef fillet and the chicken yakitoris were quite good, but the spicy tuna roll and the other Toriniku were quite fishy. In fact the Spicy Tuna was too fishy to consume. There are many Japanese restaurants popping up all over Panama and, in my humble opinion, Tsugoi better improve on their fish quality and freshness if it wants to stand out amongst their competition.
