AnQi

AnQi exceeded all expectations for food, service, and ambiance. First, the food was innovative and of the highest quality. Service was impeccable and highly professional. We were particularly impressed by the overall ambiance of the space. Clearly, a lot of attention and thought to the dining experience went into building out the room. Visually, AnQi is as innovative as its food. The audio-engineering that went into the room design is first class and enables easy table conversation even at peak dining. Overall, AnQi hits it out of the ballpark.

I don’t know what’s happened but the experience has changed. The wait staff was unprofessional and it felt rushed. We finally told our waitress we were there for the evening and to slow things down. As our plates were “dropped” at our table they were not announced or described (as most Asian tapas restaurants are). They “attacked” from all angles. We waited for drinks and refills too Long. A better lunch experience then dinner. We were entertaining out of town guests... it was lacking.

Delicious food. Very nice environment. A little on the high side in terms of $.

Started with crafted cocktails in the lounge, decided to have appetizers there as it was so comfortable. Had calamari and short rib pot stickers. So delicious. After being seated in the dining room, ordered Ans special garlic noodles with char grilled prawns. They were as wonderful as I remember from Crustacean. Also had fillet dish we loved. Show stopper was the table side ice cream to share. Couldn’t have been more spectacular!

Nice ambiance. Kim Chi fried rice was even better when requested for spicy sauce. Garlic noodle was a bit on the salty side and no taste of garlic. The table side ice cream was cool though and very delicious

The girl who attended us took more than 25 minutes to take the main dish, the service was very slow, and the meat was cooked. the appetizers are very small

Everything was delicious delicious & portions was very generous. The pork in the buns were so tender, the tacos & garlic noodles were so tasty, the shrimp was fantastic. The ace of spades was so fun to watch fired up & delicious too. Would definitely come back when I’m in town visiting. The ambience is so sexy cool...Love Love Love

definitely the best Pad Thai I've ever had so far. Nice ambience, far better than the other few restaurants in South Cost Plaza.

Beautiful interior. Food is good but pricey for ordinary Chinese food. Received great service from Peter. Will be back for different food and drinks.

Portions are small vis-a-vis price.
Ambience and service is good.

We had a very knowledgeable and professional server and communicated well with the chef with a special preparation request. Kudos to the server, help and Chef!

The food and service was always excellent!!! Will go back for dining again for sure!

Everything was so delicious. The service was excellent. We throughly enjoyed our lunch.

We arrived without a reservation and were unable to get seated at a table. We were offered seats at the bar. While seated at the bar we noticed several open tables and immediately asked to be transferred to a table. No luck. I check availability online with open table and secured a reservation. I went to the front desk and notified them that I was successful to make a reservation but they refused. I complained to the manager...he attempted to obtain a table ... still no luck. He offered us a free dessert for the inconvenience. It was very nice and we appreciated the GOODWILL.

Really great ordered potstickers and kebabs for appetizer delicious lobster with noodles fabulous steak fabulous every thing was fabulous the service was outstanding our waiter was really really good

Whenever we are in town from AZ we always have to have dinner at Anqi. Always get a crab & garlic noodles then try any number of new dishes with desert !

We always have a delicious meal at Anqi, the flavors are amazing. We celebrated my 13 year olds birthday.

We had a VIP experience! The service and food was amazing!! This is our new favorite chic restaurant by far! You must have the table side ice cream! The presentation is outstanding and unique!

Superb! The blend of flavors is well done! We loved several starters and share dishes. One of our favorite restaurants in OC.

Peter is a great server and the butter fish was very tasty!

The two of us selected for dinner four items from the small plates menu plus the garlic noodles. The amount of food was slightly more than what we would have liked. Three items from the small plates menu plus the garlic noodles would have been appropriate. The four items were 1) the popcorn chicken, 2) pastrami egg rolls, 3) short rib pop stickers and 4) the sweet corn ravioli. All items were excellent expect the popcorn chicken which resemble MacDonalds "macnuggets". The ambiance is excellent and the service professional and prompt.

Incredible Asian fusian small plates and entrees. Can't say enough about how good everything is which is why we are repeat customers.

Always enjoy the food, service and drinks. Recommend the calamari and Tuna Tacitos. Drinks are incredible.

Extraordinary service and very good food. The ice cream dessert was prepared at the table by pouring Nitrogen in the vanilla cream, which was really delicious with the "cookie".

Amazing food and service!

Lobster and Bao buns were very good. Nice atmosphere and good vibe

Met with clients for a working lunch. Showed up with a dead laptop and the Anqi Team helped me out and let me charge my laptop while waiting for my clients. The food was very tasty and our server was very attentive during our meal.

Garlic noodles were amazing. The restaurant was lively but not overcrowded. Service was lacking, less attitude more helpfulness and attendance would have gone a long way. One dish didn't make it to the table before our meal ended, management comped the charge (for that dish) and we were told we could take it home as they would be throwing it out anyway.

Small and overpriced portions. This was just above average and for me, the bill did not match the quantity and quality of the food. Great service and lovely ambiance

Great food and atmosphere

AnQi provides an excellent and different dining experience. Our server, Marie, could not have been more professional or personable. The dishes we chose were diverse and delectable. Our group of four look forward to our next visit.

Everything was good and I love Anqi food!!!

Great food. Fantastic service

Our bartender/server Vivian was amazing as the food.

Love coming here, one of my favorite places to celebrate special occasions at 😊

Everyone at AnQi took such good care of us! There were 6 I’m my party and they a agreed it was one of the best meals!! Every request was taken care of immediately, no matter how small.

We plan to make it an annual event!

Thank you to everyone.

Great place to enjoy eating and such a great place and friendly staff
Great Moment as a ceremony with food

We celebrated my wife’s birthday and were a party of 8. We reserved a table at 7:00 PM and were seated in a quiet part of the restaurant about 10 minutes after we arrived. While the food was delicious; garlic noodles, Sashimi, fillet steak, salmon were some of our favorites, the service was atrocious. I had the distinct impression that no one had been assigned our table. It took someone 10 minutes to offer us water. No-one went through the menu with us. I asked for my second drink at lest three times, I asked for the bill at least three times.... we were served by a few different people... the food took a long while to arrive. At times we were served by someone who was cleaning the tables, and at other times it was a real server. The food was delicious but the service was really, really poor.

We arrived a few minutes early and even though there was no one waiting and the restaurant was not busy
at the time, we still had to wait 10 minutes before being seated. After being seated in the main dining room we waited 15 minutes without anyone even acknowledging us, no water no nothing. We finally flagged down a server and asked if she knew who was assigned to our table. She said it wasn't her table but she would be glad to help us. Still don't know if anyone was assigned to that table but the ones around us were being served.

The flavors were all very muted and bland in my opinion.
