   Group of 8 for brunch and it really exceeded expectations. Some did the buffet and some ordered a la carte. Everyone really enjoyed it and service was awesome.

   By far the worst experience for Valentine’s Day. My boyfriend and I made reservations and arrived on time. It took the sushi chef to ask do we need anything because that’s how bad the waitstaff ignored us. The drinks were horrible, we asked for a spicy margarita and got a regular one. We both ordered the steak and only one was brought out and we had to remind them that we both were eating. The only time someone was attentive was when they asked did we want to cash out. The food had no seasoning and the chimchurri had the consistency of mushy peas rather than a chimchurri. Worst experience ever.

   Our waiter Deepak was the best! It was our anniversary and he was very attentive. Also the restaurant gave us complimentary champagne, and a dessert. We had a wonderful dinner, food was amazing.

   Spent my last dinner back again at Anzu before leaving San Francisco. Had unagi and salmon nigiri. The salmon was melt in your mouth goodness. Also had the chef's choice for sashimi

   One of many restaurants I wanted to try while here on business in San Francisco. Nice quiet restaurant located on the 2nd floor of Hotel Nikkei. Delicious food. Nice hospitality and friendly staff

   The service was excellent and very friendly. The brunch was awesome with great assortment of sushi , main dishes and desserts. The dining area was very clean and pleasant. The brunch was definitely one of the best in the Bay Area. I thought the price was very competitive and proper. The ONLY issue we had was the parking at the hotel did not include a validation. I think if you expect Bay Area customers to frequent the restaurant, I think it would go a long ways to increase potential return customers to Anzu.

   While the sushi was very good, the dinner entrees were average. Halibut was obviously frozen and had no texture or flavor. Prices were also very high including a $16 fruit juice 'mocktail' for our son. Wouldn't go again for a special occasion.

   This was a good dining experience but not extraordinary. We had the rock appetizer which was wagyu beef slices that you cook on a hot rock with side sauces for dipping — fun and tasty. The other app was tuna on skewers also with dipping sauces that was mediocre. The tuna was cubed in small bites and just not that yummy.l although the two sauces were good in themselves. For the mains we had 2 fish dishes. The miso cod was is a salty truffle broth with yummy root vegetables so it felt like comfort food and was very good. The halibut was served on under flavored black rice but neither the halibut nor the rice had much seasoning and the bite texture was pretty stodgy. We both thought they forgot some essential spices and a sauce to make the dish good. We put the fish in the miso broth in order to flavor it ourselves and left the black rice altogether. Servers were friendly but kept trying to take our plates before we had finished which is annoying. Last note was that sitting by the windows is drafty and chilly.

    This was disappointing. The rice was salty like in a pub. Two thirds of the group couldn’t finish our modest amounts of sushi. A couple people turned away more than a roll even though they were hungry. The waiter (Depak ) was good.
