Their service is terrible. My mother in-law dined in there for lunch recently. When she paid her bill, the server came back to her table, and demanded that she needs to tip more. She was very upset with the experience. My husband and I occasionally order from them through Uber. But, I decided to order directly from the restaurant since Uber charges like $12 for tax. When I called the restaurant, the woman on the phone was extremely rude, and the price was higher than the Uber!? I asked her about the price, she sounded very aggressive and kept repeating, “ I’m so busy!” It was a very unpleasant experience. We’ll not use this restaurant ever again.

I ordered their sesame chicken. It was disgusting. The chicken was over fried and tough to chew. The sauce was disgusting and definitely not the sweet sesame chicken flavor. The egg roll was extremely greasy. They forgot to pack my rice. When I called, a woman picked up the phone was extremely rude. She kept over talking me and the only solution she offered was to pack more rice the next time I order. Who said there would be a next time? When I asked how could she assure that, she proceeded to yell “fine we’ll Deliver it to you”. Just overall negative experience.

If only i could rate ZERO stars here!!! This place has the most god-awful service where they keep a watchful eye on your plate and hurry you to leave!! Waiter even rudely commented on my 15% tip NOT being at 20%!!! Service is BAD BAD BAD, and the food is nowhere close to being authentic Chinese! They ought to be ashamed of themselves!!!

Love the food, hate the service! Check before everyone finishes eating? Then comes around and asks who the one that’s paying? Lastly, the server came over and stood there while we signed the bill and put the tip. This isn’t the first time this has happened, it’s always with the same server. Do not recommend to dine in, just for take out!

Anise is a gem. For $12 you get a lunch that includes entree, rice, soup, a drink and a spring roll. Fortune cookie with the check. It is near impossible to beat this combination anywhere else in The Bronx. You may find a bigger selection (Golden Corral or another buffet) but the food will be bland and poorly done. This food is done right. The kung pao chicken, was lean, crisp and without fat or gristle. The spring roll was light and fried precisely. The vegetables were beautiful and delicious from the baby corn to the mushrooms and zucchini. This is the best venue to host a business lunch in Riverdale and in the Bronx, outside of Little Italy or Throggs Neck. The other two locations will be far more expensive and have little to no parking. City Island also. I strongly recommend this for a business meeting or a delicious lunch.Parking: Parking lot is down the block by Key Foods. It doesn't belong to the restaurant but the neighborhood is not busy at lunchtime.
