Panka Peruvian Bistro

We dropped by Panka on a Friday night a bit before 7pm, before it started getting really busy. Every server and staff member was friendly and attentive. We had the pulpo a la parrilla to start and it was delicious. We also really enjoyed the ceviche tradicional. It had excellent flavours and the quantity was good. For mains, we had the arroz con mariscos from the seafood menu and the anticucho de vegetales from the vegetarian menu. Overall we really enjoyed the food, although prices were a bit on the high side. Despite that, we left feeling full and satisfied.

I’ve been coming here since 2017! We love it here, the food is amazing! the waitresses are so friendly and welcoming. Me and my fiancé started coming to this restaurant when we started dating, and now it’s our to go place whenever we are in port Chester. Definitely deserves 5 stars

I've been to this place multiple times with friends and it never disappoints. The wait staff is friendly and the food is delicious. My favorite is "risotto with lomo". Small but clean restaurants with a modern atmosphere.

This was Peruvian cuisine on another level. Great space and centrally located in Portchester. The portions are generous. We got the spicy Margaritra, excellent taste, chicken noodle soup, fish chicaron and lamb heart pinchos. The broth in soup tasted homemade and delicious. Like the perfect antidote for cold or winter remedy.
Beautiful chill music and service. Would return

The place has a nice atmosphere and the food was very good. I had lomo saltado which I enjoyed her much. The service was very attentive and I highly recommend this restaurant. The menu is more seafood than for the land lovers which I am but there are things to choose from, there are also things on the menu for the vegetarians which I never saw before in a Peruvian restaurant. They took typical dishes and substituted for the meat with for example in the tacu tacu a lo pobre with portobello mushrooms for steak. Definitely a place you might want to try out.

As a Peruvian immigrant in the usa its very hard to find Peruvian cousin that taste like home , untill
I came to Panka Peruvian bistro . The food was excellent and the service was second to none.
God bless the team that makes it happen every day .

Visited this excellent Peruvian restaurant for a second time with my family. As a Peruvian who knows Peruvian food and is very critical about the right seasoning, this bistro nailed it. They have most of Peruvian typical dishes plus others with a modern update & flavor. Had the ceviche, pulpo a la parilla, jalea and decided to have one of their vegetarian dishes, tallarín huancaina which I enjoyed to its fullest. The rest of the family had lomo salteado and pollo a la brasa, which all were off the hook. The homemade chicha mora was delicious. The atmosphere and service were excellent. Will most definitely be returning.

This place is awesome! We've been here three times and each time satisfied. Food is great and flavorful. Steak is cooked to perfection and tender. Cerviche taste fresh and big portions. Place has a modern feel to it and very clean. Highly recommended if you are looking for delicious Peruvian food around portchester area.

Whenever I venture to new locations, I try to find Peruvian restaurants as it's my favorite. The main thing that I judge is how well they can cook a ceviche. By far the best new twist on a ceviche is their Ceviche Panka which is made with squid ink. First time trying the dish and the flavors blew my expectations. My girlfriend and I enjoy seafood a lot so we recommend a place like this. There were other meals that offer your typical Peruano experience and looks to be friendly to vegetarians as well. The staff instantly asked us if we were allergic to anything and they instantly help you a better decision then what you had in mind of ordering.

Great place and fantastic food!

Peruvian food when good is deliciously unique and Interesting. The food here was fresh , creative, with ingredients that are truly native to Peru. The ceviches were appealing and so tasty, without being strange. They can take out or add in the spiciness, which is a huge plus. The dishes were “normal” food, appealing, with their own surprising twist. Everything we tried was exquisite. It wasn’t crowded when we got there on the earlier side of the evening. The atmosphere is nice, clean, modern, black and white look, with marble like table tops. The musics was not the best of Latin-American music, which was a pity. It was also played very loud. I requested that it be turned down but it wasn’t, which would be my one big complaint. We definitely enjoyed the food and would highly recommend this restaurant. We will go back.

Great food! They have happy hour everyday from 12 to 3pm! 👏🏼

I've order a few things, always fresh, tasty, and good portions. They use steak fries in the lomo, nice touch. Love the five spice seasoning on the rotisserie chicken.

One of the best restaurants I’ve been to! The employees were so nice, the place was clean, and the food was amazing. I definitely recommend the lomo saltado dish.
