Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

OMGOSH this place blew us away!!
With there Sushi and wide variety of different foods and even if it's not on the menu and you'd like something just ask and they do it. The food is exquisite the sushi is the best I've ever had and I've been all over the world, including Japan. I don't know what their secret is, but you have to go and try this food and their cocktails oh my gosh, the service is impeccable and the even on the weekends they do these really cool entertainment on the bar their bartenders blow fire like fire breathers, and they juggle fire. They do all this amazing stuff with aerial people in the air doing hoops what an amazing place!!
Locals or tourists need to see this place. There bar area has the craziest 3D real bottles never seen anywhere else in the world.
This is way more that 5 stars

I went to Emotions with my wife, brother and sister in law last weekend and we couldn't have been more pleased. The restaurant offers top quality items and the owner even specially ordered fresh lobsters for us even though they are locally out of season. Then we were all incredibly entertained by the show that must have run for three hours the likes of which rivals a Las Vegas show quality or perhaps a very high end cruise ship. We were all speechless and will definitely be back!

Excellent service! Not many vegan options (which we recommended they should add), but the chef made a special vegan dish to make up for it. The saki, mixed drinks, and fresh juices were excellent. The decor and attention to detail (table layout, displaying of food, and short magic show) were memorable. They charge extra for the Michael Jackson live show (per person based on proximity to the stage). The waiters here spoke English and Spanish. Very appropriate place for sushi and drinks (and a Michael Jackson Live Show if you so desire).

I didn’t know what to expect because I live in Las Vegas. I have very high expectations of dinners and shows. (I’m a bit spoiled with that 😬) BUT…….
.
.
.

WOW! I was super impressed! Excellent service from the moment that I arrived. I chose the dinner and show option right up front so I could be immersed in the action of it all.
They even have alcohol options like bottles of wine or half bottles of vodka etc that are really reasonable. If you go with a friend or two, I would highly suggest that.
The food was excellent but I had trouble eating it as I just couldn’t take my eyes off the entertainment! It was back to back to back with great performances and music! The girls are very attractive and they have some super sexy burlesque acts.
Also a very talented Freddie Mercury look a like. He even has the same teeth! I heard they have a great Michael Jackson one too so I’ll be needing to come back again soon.
I’m told they switch up the acts every 3 months, so this place should provide some great entertainment for years to come. I always enjoy staying at the Hilton when I come here and sometimes try somewhere different.
Well, they’ve definitely cemented me in with this NEW HOT SPOT! Nice upscale bar, amazing food & cocktails. Cool balcony and entertaining show room! Love it!

When you're in panama city panama this is the place you must go. My wife and I love it every time we go. I have new shows every month and every week seems to be like something you this place is absolutely amazing.
And oh my gosh the food it's the best in Panama!! I think I've had everything on the menu at least once love their sushi and you can even do special request from off the menu that the chef will make for you.
This is the place to go in Panama makes you feel like you're in Las Vegas, Moulin Rouge, Circus de Lay all combine and wrapped up in one amazing three hour show!!
This is the best kept secret in Panama..
don't miss it !!!

I went there on Saturdays night for Michael Jackson’s show and was AMAZING, very good performance… the thing is that the food was completely awful… how such a good place can have such a bad food…? Very good question; I asked for a fish that was completely dry and bad taste, my friend ask for a beef that feels like a rock… couldn’t finish any of it… the dessert was good at least. If you go don’t ask for food, just watch the show, pretty recommended.

A Vegas Showroom in Panama City! From the begging I didn't really have expectations. I was alone look for something to do in the city to kill time. After the casino I heard about the theather. I saw the Micheal Jackson show and it was amazing. Coordinated dances with great visuals! The sushi was fresh and tasteful and had a great dessert.

I was absolutely amazed at the quantity and quality of shows that Emotions offered, which in my opinion were of equal or better quality shows I have experienced in Las Vegas. The relaxed atmosphere, sound system, the lighting and lighting effects very professional. I will be recommending to all my friends and business associates. I highly recommend that of you are visiting or living in Panama City, Panama this is in your top 5 list of things to do.

The Emotions Sushi Bar serves great cocktails and food. There is an impressive feature behind the bar worth seeing. I saw the Panama show which was educational, entertaining and breathtaking. The theater is small and intimate which adds to the whole atmosphere of the show . Im off again tomorrow to see the Michael Jackson show.

Absolutely amazing experience every night. The service by Rafael and the staff were exceptional. The cocktails and food were amazing. We were surprised that there was a Las Vegas level cabaret/ burlesque show that we had an amazing time at. This restaurant/ bar / theatre is at the Hilton Panama and exceeded our expectations throughout our stay. Highly recommend for any art loving travelers or locals in search of a night on the town.

First walking into the restaurant the vibes are amazing and the underwater theme is so cool!! With projectors everywhere there’s not a boring thing in site!!
Once you get seated for the show it gets even better! The seating and tables are so nice with the projectors everywhere!!!
My favorite part is the show, though. An absolutely perfect night of entertainment with not a boring moment !! Not to mention the sushi bar is SO delish!!!

I went to this dinner theater not knowing much about it, I was invited by the owner with whom I was investigating a totally different business opportunity (Bitcoin related) and was so amazingly shocked at how much fun I had, and how talented these performers are.
First of all the Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury, and Bruno Mars tributes all dance exactly like them, but they also sing with real microphones and are not lip-synching!
Don’t get me wrong, some of the dance acts with all the girls are lip-synching but you can hardly tell and the dancing is so amazing that you don’t even care and it doesn’t matter. They are just gorgeous and exactly like a Vegas top of the line show.
It was an amazing balance of incredibly well choreographed Vegas style reviews, including tributes to Moulin Rouge, Chicago, and other musiclas, and amazing acrobatic, silks, artistic pole dancers (fully clothed and surprisingly talented), rings etc. One of the girls used to be with Circ du Soliel in Vegas I was told, and I believe it, she was that good.
Nothing like this exists in Panama. A 3 hour Vegas review show, oh... Also comedians, singers, and a magician!
They just hired a new chef and the food is amazing, the wait staff are all cool and fun too.
Obviously I can't say enough. Just go sometime!
