AnQi Bistro - Modern Asian Cuisine & Private Dining in Costa Mesa

Great celebration restaurant. Came here for a friend’s birthday celebration dinner and this place did not disappoint. The service & food was great. There’s a wide variety of options to choose from & it’s great to eat family style if your coming with a big party. We ordered everything from appetizers to entrees. Definitely must try their famous garlic noodles, but the chow fun noodles are good as well. The Asian fusion cuisine lets you have a global taste of dishes inspired by different Asian countries. The also serve mocktails for people that don’t drink. The vibe of the restaurant has a night on the town feel. The beautiful floral backdrop towards the front makes a great photo op. The also have a bar to your left when you walk in. Since it’s pricey I probably wouldn’t regularly come here, but it’s a great place to celebrate life’s big moments. They are located where Bloomingdale’s is so the Bloomingdale’s parking is the best place to park.

If you want a steak, better go to a steak house, ordered a ribeye, more fats and tendons . If you want cocktail, better put ice aside, or you will get almost a full cup of ice. Otherwise other foods are good.

Table side ice cream cookie was amazing and massive, plenty for two to share. Fun to watch them make the ice cream.Leek dumplings were great and came with a nice sauce. Kimchi fried rice was amazing and reheated well. Truffle fries were perfect.Bartenders and overall service was very nice. They made us special drinks since the new melon drink wasnt quite out yet. The lychee cocktail was sweet, but super refreshing with the pears.

Took a while till we get our simple noodle orders. My wife food Ginger prawn rice noodle arrived first and it was tasteless.My garlic noodle and chicken was below average for the price!Both foods arrived almost cold.Our first attempt and I was not impressed at all. we usually give some places a second chance. Let see how they do next time.

Residing in The Collage at South Coast Plaza, its easy to see why this restaurant is Michelin recognized. Every dish was on point from flavor to temperature and overall preparation. I have been there several times and have zero complaints about the food. I will admit the service can be inconsistent, and even though its never bad, it can sometimes be slow and difficult to find your server. The tuna tacos are amazing, and I would recommend getting more than one order (three come in one order) if you have three people because someone, if not all of you, are going to want a second taste. The shaking beef is fantastic and the garlic noodles are an absolute must. The eggplant is incredible, even if you arent a fan, I guarantee youll like the way this is served. The butter fish is delicious, as are the dumplings. Dont forget to leave room for the beignets. And, if youre willing, get the tableside ice cream just for the experience.

The Crab and famous Garlic noodles were incredible! huge succulent crab was die to for if you love seafood. The ambiance was also beautiful, fun, and romantic. I highly recommend the icecream because of the dryice experience and the fact that they make the ice-cream right in front of you. We also tried the ube coconut cake was so smooth! very fun time here and would come back again. Our server was also excellent with his knowledge and personal taste of foods he liked

The reason I gave it 3 stars was mainly due to the price versus what you get. Overall the food was just okay. Felt like it lacked a bit of flavor. The Filet Mignon Chow Fun was very dry and the Kimchi fried rice didnt really taste like kimchi at all. I think the curry may have been the best dish and the fish again lacked a bit of flavor.I think Gem tasted much much better if you want really good Asian Fusion.The service itself was great and the restaurant had a great atmosphere. You can come for the experience, but I think you may be underwhelmed by the food.

They have a great private dining area in the back. Celebrated a friends birthday and had a wonderful time. Service was great. Food was really good too. Fried rice. Spring rolls. Steak. Lobster.

We went there last week and it was very delicious. We ordered calamari, kimchi fried rice, garlic noodle and Orange peeled chicken. The service was amazing and very fast. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely go back.

What a great atmosphere and such delicious food. After the server gave several recommendations I went with the Misoyaki butterfish and it did not disappoint 🙌🏽. So flavorful and delicious 😋 you gotta try it
