    Service was good when we got there, but declined significantly and it took almost an hour to get desert and they forgot out Togo order then we had to wait for that as well. Our check was over $700, so we should have gotten much better service for that price. Really disappointed.

    After telling the hostess and server of a shellfish allergy, we ordered the nachos (that had no indication they had shellfish) and when they came out the cheese sauce was on the side. No one said anything about the cheese sauce when delivered so we poured it everywhere and started eating. About 5 minutes later the server shows up to tell us that the cheese sauce was on the side because it had shrimp in it...after we had already had started eating it. Thankfully the allergic person only had one chip so the reaction was not as severe as it could have been, but that was not the way it should have been handled. We should have been informed BEFORE the food was delivered or at the time of the food delivery. Not 5 minutes later.

    All of the food came out cold, including 3 steaks. One was extremely undercooked. The broccoli was very soggy (and cold). The manager came over to apologize but did not take anything off of the bill. The waiter was not friendly at all- even before the issue with the food. We were late to see a musical & we told the waiter we needed to check out & pay the bill asap but he still waited, and asked if we wanted dessert.

    We have been going to AnQi for several years each time we visit OC. We always start with lobster potstickers then have their special noodles, usually with the colossal shrimp. We usually start with one of their unique cocktails and have a glass of white wine with our entrée. And this is what we did this visit too. The lobster dumplings had a lovely piece of lobster inside. The sauce was unremarkable. This visit we were very disappointed in the noodles. The presentation of our noodles was bland and an interesting. They were served in the same round, basic white bowl that our lobster dumplings had been served in a few minutes before. The noodles were limp and barely warm and lacked the zip of the special sauce that anQi is so famous for. The shrimp were delicious. The service was only fair with no one circling back to our table after we were served to ask how things were. By the time we realized how disappointing the meal was, we were too far along to send it back, although had someone checked in with us, we probably would have done just that.

    Not worth going for the restaurant week lunch deal - we were expecting simplified dishes but at decent quality given the restaurant's brand and appeal, but overall presentation, quality, and taste of appetizers and main course dishes were disappointing. Would have gotten better value and presentation at In N Out

    We had lunch at AnQi during OC Restaurant Week--hadn't been in for a while but we'll be back soon. Simply put, the level of cuisine and service plus ambiance are A+. Tablecloths! It gives refinement and makes dining a bit more special. The food was phenomenal. Jidori chicken potsickers, An's Famous Garlic Noodles with shrimp satay, the kung pao chicken were all super delicious, high quality ingredients and beautifully plated. Every detail is carefully thought out and refined. Great service and hospitality. House of An has very high standards for lucky diners!

    Overall good experience and very good food. They were out of about 50% of the items we wanted to order. Cocktails were acceptable but not outstanding. We chose to stay with small plates and the secret kitchen items we had were the best out of everything - garlic rice and dungeness crab. At $120 for the combo I would say it was worth it - outstanding. The other three plates that we got were each good, but nothing exceptional… The bulgogi nachos, the Wagyu potstickers, and the lobster dumplings (which were the best of those three). I suspect there were probably some other items that we could’ve ordered that would’ve been better choices on the extensive menu. Desert finished strong…with amazing banana fritters and a glass of Amaro. All of this made for a $400 meal so I would say next time i would be inclined to try other menu items OR just make a meal on the secret kitchen menu.

    Everything was nice except for the lunch menu, my husband had the lunch option, garlic noodles with shrimp and salad. I thought it was ridiculous that the plate only had 2 pieces of shrimp. What happened here, there was a bowl full of noodles but, just 2 pieces of shrimp. For the price, this is a rip off.

    Server was polite but the food took WAY too long. It didnt arrive until 45 minutes after placing our order. Everyone around us had been served already. This may have been a kitchen error but we didn't receive any updates from our server at any point on whether the food was on its way. My food arrived lukewarm. On a positive, the bus boy was amazing and had a great personality. He should be promoted to server. I loved the decor and wish I had a more positive experience.

    Tried the angus steak pot stickers, roasted garlic noodles with chicken and Mongolian lamb shacks. Seating was abit slow despite having a reservation but waiter service was great. Probably won’t return for the food since I was quite disappointed with the food standard. Only liked the lamb and it was ok standard.

    Great place for all dining occasions with good vibes. Staff are attentive. Menu offers a diverse selection; been to AnQi several times and everything I had was tasty. Menu also offers a range of price points and can get pricey depending on what you order of course. Would definitely recommend AnQi if you've not been there. Cheers!

    Services are great, foods are pricey but the taste is okay, too much oily, ordered Tomahawk steak, it was a bit salty, maybe it was on the salt bed, vege. stirred fried is oily, side order comes with the steak is bathing in oil, in fact both of us have a bad stomach ache for so rich food.

    Foods didn’t taste as good as before. The lights that they put on floor around the tables are so bad they hurt my eyes. And I noticed everyone else thought the same thing because as soon as someone sat down, they would look around to find where the bad lighting on the floor was, and they mumbled something to the people in their party, and shook their heads. Service was meh. I had better experience at this place before, not anymore, what a pity!
