Asian food meant for Americans, not Asians. The garlic noodles were a huge disappointment. They were overcooked, mushy, and greasy, rather than being springy and properly oiled. It was like my failed stir fry noodle, not something made by a professional chef.

We’ve been coming to AnQi for about 8–9 years, and it remains one of our favorite restaurants. The food is always consistently delicious, and the quality has stayed outstanding all these years.
Their calamari is easily in our top three favorite calamari dishes we’ve ever had, and the Kimchi Fried Rice is hands down one of the best we’ve ever tried.
A special thank you to Nikola, our server, who was amazing. He recommended several new dishes as well as a cocktail, and every recommendation was excellent. It’s always great when a server truly knows the menu and helps elevate the dining experience.
Honestly, it’s surprising to see some of the trendy restaurants across the street packed while a place like AnQi, with food and service of this caliber, doesn’t always get the same attention. In our opinion, AnQi offers a far better dining experience and deserves much more recognition.
Thank you, AnQi, for continuing to deliver the same exceptional quality and service year after year. We always look forward to coming back! ❤️🍸🙏

Dishes were exceptional. We ordered Filet Mignon and Butterfish. The service was excellent. The ambience was gorgeous. This is one of the best restaurants we have dined in. We definitely recommend this restaurant. Thank you.

Good food, good service, upbeat and trendy atmosphere. I might be a bit harsh for rating this place at 4 stars, but the only thing that is of a 5 star merit is the medium rare lamb chops.

Our Garlic Noodles were quite tasty. The Kimchi Fried Rice was a little bland so we requested soy sauce which amped it up! My Reposado and Tamarind cocktail with Tajin rim was quite refreshing and our bartender/server was a delight.

The wait staff and host were very helpful with me getting a cake there and surprising my best friend. They made it easy and when i messaged through this app were very communicative. Food and service were great

We were there late Tuesday. It was a quiet night. Prob five tables so the ambiance was quite what it usually is when it’s busy. Our server was nice and attentive. We had their tomahawk steak which was good as always. I got the fried rice without the bacon this time. I thought it tasted better. We the boulevadier and Negroni which weren’t too bad.

We had an outstanding experience at AnQi Bistro, and a huge part of that was our server, Damon.

From the moment we sat down, Damon was engaging, knowledgeable, and genuinely personable. He didn’t just take our order, he guided our entire experience. We ordered several appetizers along with the tomahawk steak, and every recommendation he made delivered.

His suggestion of the kimchi fried rice was spot on, absolutely delicious. The garlic noodles were next level, easily one of the highlights of the night.

What truly set Damon apart was his attentiveness. He consistently checked in, made sure everything was perfect, and created a level of service that felt both professional and personal. It’s rare to receive service at this level.

The food was excellent, but Damon’s service is what made the experience memorable.

We’re already looking forward to coming back, not just for the food, but specifically for the experience.

The shaken beef, garlic noodles and chive & leek dumplings were delicious. But I don't understand the quantities of plastic flowers. They cheapen the place.
