The restaurant is a shadow of its former self. Food was greasy and garlic was the overwhelming flavor in every dish. The $30 white fish was tilapia. The drunken noodles were soaked in oil, the meat although tasty was miserly. The service was curt and perfunctory. They no longer serve Pho at the restaurant.

We had dined there before several times and had an expectation of better quality and better tasting food. We were disappointed on both fronts. The dishes we typically order were less than average and we won’t be back again. Sad to see the quality go down.

The restaurant was beautiful. The salt and pepper calamari so tasty. The shrimp and lobster dumplings splendid. Lavender Milk Tea latte delightful. Staff was just lovely. However, the garlic noodles where lackluster and disappointing. It’s important the house favorites stay quality.

A Spectacular Dining Experience I recently revisited AnQi Bistro, and my experience was nothing short of exceptional. Two years ago, I wasn't impressed, but this time, everything was on point. We started with the Caesar salad, which was surprisingly delectable. The crispy jam lettuce and the warm crisps added a delightful texture. Then came the King salmon, paired with a side of vegetables. While the vegetables were mediocre, the salmon itself was well-prepared. The absolute standout was the Brussels sprouts and cauliflower--one of the most delicious dishes I've ever had, with a generous portion size. The garlic noodles, though a smaller portion, were perfectly balanced, especially since we were saving room for dessert. We also added chicken thigh skewers, and despite typically not being a fan of dark meat, I found them fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly enjoyable. For dessert, we ended the night with the tableside ice cream experience, which was mind-blowing! Watching them make the ice cream right in front of us added to the excitement. It was served with a warm cookie, crisp peanut brittle, custard, and jam--pure perfection. Our server, Thuy, was fantastic, pacing our meal perfectly and giving us a much-needed break before dessert since we devoured everything so quickly. Pictures don't do justice because the it's a dark restaurant with a cool Vegas vibe. This was a completely different experience from my visit two years ago. I highly recommend AnQi Bistro, and I'll definitely be back. Posting some pictures and videos to share the magic!
