I'm sorry I waited so long to try Panka. It was delicious. We went with friends and they ordered an appetizer with plantains that was so good, though I can't remember the name of it. I ordered the classic ceviche sampler along with the grilled salmon asado. As someone who's a really healthy and conscientious eater, I appreciated how fresh and balanced everything was. The salmon was a huge piece and came with asparagus, potatoes, tomatoes, and broccoli that were all perfectly seasoned, plus two eggs on top and a side of rice. I ate every bite. It was both delicious and nutritious. It's not fancy, just a really great casual place with excellent food. We'll definitely be back. read more

Delicious Peruvian cuisine! We stopped by as we were driving through Daytona which was an excellent choice. We got the leche de tigre fish, aji de galina, and the churrasco y frituras. The portions are huge. Every dish is flavorful and prepared with care. The service was great and the interior of the restaurant is nicely decorated. Would recommend if you are looking for an amazing meal! read more

We came here looking for the sushi restaurant (Fancy Sushi) that used to be at the same location and thought we would try this new Peruvian food place. A bit dark inside to read the menu so you may want to bring a light, but the staff was wonderful about explaining all the items and the different ways that are they are prepared. It became clear this was more like a family kitchen and business. We started with the Huancaina Yuca. Similar to French fries but better. I had the steak with pesto Alfredo and my wife had the traditional beef with rice and beans. I forget the names but show the picture and you will have a very flavorful meal. read more

Decepcionados por la falta de sentido común en la distribución de las mesas Mi esposa y yo estábamos emocionados por probar este restaurante peruano antes de salir de Florida, especialmente después de leer las excelentes reseñas. Llegamos poco después de que abrieron y éramos los únicos clientes en el lugar. Elegimos una mesa tranquila en una esquina y realizamos nuestro pedido. Poco después, llegó un grupo de seis personas y, para nuestra sorpresa, la mesera los sentó justo frente a nosotros, ¡a pesar de que el restaurante estaba completamente vacío! ¿Por qué juntar a los clientes cuando hay tanto espacio disponible? No tuvo ningún sentido y pareció una decisión floja o descuidada. Para colmo, el grupo tenía una niña que estaba viendo videos a todo volumen en una tablet y no se quedaba sentada. Arruinó por completo la experiencia tranquila que buscábamos. Esto se pudo haber evitado con un poco de capacitación básica en atención al cliente. Por favor, enseñen a su personal a separar a los comensales, especialmente cuando el restaurante está vacío. Nadie quiere sentirse apretado en un lugar con tanto espacio libre. read more

The Pulpo with potatoes is & with the steamed vegetables was very Tender & Tasty. We had the Spicy Chupe Camarones (Shrimp) it was sour from the lime & small pieces of Shrimp not chewy. It was all delicious. The service was spot on. Ambience is good for a romantic evening. This restaurant has only been open 3 Months. I hope it Makes it. We will be back to try some other things from the Menu that looked appetizing. read more

I truly believe that food is more enjoyable when it is vibrant and aesthetically pleasing. Everything I tried at Panka was made with love and delicious. I appreciated that the server was eager to help me choose and explain menu items I was unfamiliar with. I am excited that this place is close to me so I can try more of the menu. That pasta with the pesto sauce (Tallarin Verde) is pure comfort food! read more

Flavors are good, but they give you hardly any chicken and beef in their dishes and when you actually find the chicken is little pieces of dark meat, the cheapest, go figure. I am not paying $16 for rice, green onions and 4 little pieces of chicken thigh. Also we ordered seco de res, which is a beef dish with rice and beans and there was mostly beans, small portion of rice and 2 small pieces of beef. Very disaponting visit read more

Great good and staff friendly clean happy people !!!!!!yummmmmy Lovely service Food amazing read more

I can't believe this place is so close to me and I've slept on it for a year. Cozy and attractive dining room, welcoming service, and delicious food. Sadly, I had intended to eat my way through the menu, but tonight's fish dish was so good, not sure I can order anything else. We'll find out because taking friends back tomorrow. Just go already. read more

This place is a brand new Peruvian place in Ormond. I was a bit excited to see it. Something different and hopefully good. So we came in on a Thursday evening. It was quiet but that's expected for a new place. The menu is a bit large. Front and back, as you can see from the photo. My wife found the churasco streak. My daughter ordered the Lomo saltado. For the child, we got the chicken fingers. And for me, the chaufa de pollo. The rice was good and a huge serving. It was good. The chicken fingers were excellent. Crispy and nicely flavored. The Lomo was good. And the steak was also good. Just a little bit salty, but order it with less salt, and you'll be OK. Many plates come with an egg. We tried to substitute rice for French fries. They didn't understand but finally got what we were asking for. They mixed up the orders a little but fixed it right away. The service was good. The food was good. We had fun why we ate, and when we finished, we danced. That's right. Danced to the music with the little child. I am sure that this place will rock in a few weeks when the word gets out. This is a must try. I recommend it. We will be back real soon. read more

Panka Ceviche & Grill - Menu 5 2024 - Peruvian Near Me - Ormond Beach, Florida

Did our first takeout order here recently after having an amazing in-restaurant experience. Again, we got the Ceviche Tradicional with fish. Absolutely traveled well and they even separate the crunchy corn so it doesn't get soggy. We also tried something new for us: Lomo Saltado a lo Pobre. They also separated certain ingredients in this dish to ensure quality and it was great. We were so surprised at all the different flavors and how well they melted together and complemented each other. Papa a la Huancaina was also delicious on arrival. I had about a 20 minute drive and everything was still perfect by the time I arrived home. Worth every penny. read more

Okay first and foremost, I am from New Jersey where we have a "Little Lima" in Paterson. Whenever we leave the state we are always searching for quality Peruvian cuisine. We drive anywhere from 45 min to an hour and a half to get Peruvian food when we visit ormond beach every year. Normally we are missing the food back home. NOT THIS TIME!!!! The food here was EXCEPTIONALLY FANTASTIC!! We started off having the ahi de gallna! This normally is not my go to because it is too heavy, that is not the case here! The flavor was spot on and absolutely the best texture, the white rice was SPOT on to the way my mama Lucha would make hers! Stunning presentation! The second dish we had was the tradition ceviche pescado picante. The fish was PERFECT! Tender, tasty, and making us wanting to drink the juice at the bottom. Can I just say, THE BEST SWEET POTATO! I cannot wait to try the other options! After those two dishes we decided to order one more thing, the arroz chaufa de pollo. This is normally the primary indicator of a successful Peruvian restaurant. THIS WAS THE BEST I HAVR HAD! Must get! Everything was right! The wok flavor was there, rice was perfect, fresh and I particularly loved the ingredients. Chicken was tender and so so good. Next time I want to try beef! Overall I need to tell the staff they were fantastic. Friendly and helpful, attentive and knowledgeable! The service was on point. I highly encourage people local and afar to come here if you want to taste the BEST Peruvian food in Florida!! read more

I've always enjoyed Peruvian food. I used to go to a few Peruvian restaurants when I lived in south Florida. The ceviche and pisco sour I just had at Panka was better than any recollection from those other Peruvian restaurants. I really enjoyed it. I hope Ormond will come out and support this little gem. read more

So excited to find this treasure of a restaurant. Inside is a cute little restaurant with a small bar and plenty of seating for the size. The food was excellent. Service was also great. Severs were very knowledgeable and willing to explain anything. The food was fresh and made to order. We had the trilogy de ceviche seafood (with sea bass, calamari, shrimp and mussels ), pulpo a la parrilla (grilled octopus), and the tallarin verde (pesto pasta) with grilled chicken. The pesto sauce was so creamy and delicious. Just perfect. The chicken was juicy and cooked wonderfully. The octopus was so tender and flavorful and the potatoes and tomatoes paired with it were cooked perfect. All three of the ceviches had different sauces with shrimp, fish and calamari. All three were so yummy. Great flavors. Can't wait to go back again and try more dishes. read more

The food was amazing to say the least. First time trying authentic Peruvian food and everything came out delicious. The Grilled octopus was very tender and so flavorful. The ceviche was also very fresh. I recommend the potatoes as an appetizer, I think everyone would love it, it was very creamy and melt in your mouth. The cocktails are cheap (mine wasn't very full but it still tasted delicious). The restaurant itself was small and not overwhelming and located in a plaza. However we did go on a weekday and it wasn't busy at all, the service was excellent. 10/10 read more
