AnQi impresses with its "amazing" food and attentive service. Guests rave about the garlic noodles and signature dishes like the Dungeness crab. The elegant ambiance and creative cocktails enhance the dining experience. While some find the portions small, the "unique fusion" of Asian-American flavors keeps patrons returning.

The food was amazing and the ambiance was perfect for a date night, but what really stood out was the attentiveness and professionalism that came with our server Shannon. She is what really made a difference in our experience at this restaurant. She asked if this was our first time and then proceeded to take her time going through the whole menu (drinks menu as well) and knew it like she made it herself. I never felt rushed and always looked after. I don’t do reviews usually but after coming across her I felt like this was the least I could do. She deserves her credit for sure.

Had a wonderful holiday lunch. AnQi is such a unique experience. Super high standards reflected in hospitality, cocktails (always creative and delicious) and outstanding cuisine. Excellent mocktails. We sampled from the dim sum offerings (An Sum...filet mignon potstickers are amazing) and then the signature garlic noodles with grilled prawns and the Mongolian lamb chops, which were cooked perfectly. Cliff served us--was busy but did a great job and accommodating. Nice management presence as well. AnQi never disappoints!

It started out that when our server got offended that I said No thank you to accept his offer to make dish recommendations since I already knew what we wanted. He asked what if we were celebrating anything and I let him know my Bday. He never topped of my water once which was empty and he never brought out a dessert. He seemed very disengaged. Food was good, but disappointing service.

Very good, it’s been this way past few years we have dined. The best way to dine is “Family Style” and add on some apps to share and choose the carbs…we like steamed jasmine rice, and garlic noodles. The Orange peel chicken is great…butterfish and the sizzling Ribeye!! *Get the ribeye med rare and it will continue cooking to med. yummm. Didn’t table side ice cream it was delicious and came with a fresh baked chocolate cookie.
