An Qi is a beautiful restaurant. The ambience and the service excel but the food pushes it over the top! The tuna taco appetizers are so good we almost always place another order! It is not inexpensive but you get what you pay for and I love it there!

Waitress Nicole was very good. We were the first of the morning to be sat so ordering and food delivery was quick. The only reason I didn't give 5star for food was we both asked for eggs over EASY and they came Medium. We could've returned them but we didn't. It was still good.

We’re regulars at this location and they rarely disappoint. Our server last night, Matt was exceptional. The food was on point and at the start of a busy pre-Thanksgiving weekend we had a wonderful experience. We always appreciate the seasonal offerings, the fresh ingredients, and the beautiful presentation.
