Materie prime di ottima qualità preparate in modo eccellente. Fantasia e passione si possono vedere e toccare con mano almeno nei tre piatti che ho ordinato ( orecchie di maiale croccanti, pollo alla lemongrass e come dolce il profitterol ). Avesse una stella Michelin sarebbe tutta meritata. ….. ma se dovesse arrivare spero che non cedano alla tentazione di aumentare i prezzi già abbondantemente proporzionati !

Expertly crafted Asian Fusion in downtown San Diego. Stands out from the crowd with a different looking menu and cleverly constructed dishes. Trendy setting and a relaxed atmosphere. Reservations recommended.

1 out of the 8 dishes we got was out of this world. The rest were mostly good, some left a salty aftertaste. Get the pork tomahawk.

When have been several times. This time the food as pricey as ever did not stand up to the historical quality. The volume of music ( poor club music) made it hard to hear the waiter and hard to have a conversation with out leaning in and speaking loudly across the table.

Amazing food and staff. It was so cool to see elevated Filipino food, and it was my girlfriend’s first time trying A5 Wagyu, she said “it was the best thing I’ve ever put in my mouth”. Will be back in 6 months for my birthday!

We got the Hunan Lamb Chops, Taiwanese Chicken, Pig Ears, Crispy Potatoes, Wagyu Fried Rice, Tuna Kinilaw, Duck entree, Sea Bass, and Short Ribs Kare Kare. Most of the dishes were flavorful, garnished well, and pretty!! I would go back for the lamb chops, pig ears, sea bass and short ribs kare kare.

We picked Animae to eat for our anniversary dinner, and it some ways, it was very good, but in others perhaps not the right place for us. Let's start with the food - we did 2 appetizers (the Nori Caesar and Mantou buns), 2 entrees (Short Rib Kare Kare and Szechuan Sea bass), 2 sides (Crispy potatoes and Wagyu fried rice), 2 desserts (Ube profiteroles and Sakura Panna Cotta), and 2 glasses of wine. We spent 2 hours there. Overall, it was extremely tasty and flavors all fantastic, although the execution leaves much room for improvement. The salad, though great umami of flavors, was very much overdressed. The soy glaze with the buns was too salty but the sour cream butter saved it. The fish dish was just meh in flavor, but perfectly cooked. The Short ribs and potatoes I felt were delicious, so no complaints there. The fried rice was ok, there was hardly any beef in there (tasted mostly egg and mushroom). Desserts were also delicious, but also a few misses. The panna cotta was bursting with flavor and texture but the panna cotta itself was too dense (too much gelatin) so it ate very heavy though the flavors were very light. The profiteroles were perfect. Just the right amount of sweetness, texture, and flavors. They gave us a little bonus dessert and sparkling wine for our anniversary, which was a nice touch. A little matcha cake with (very dense) mousse and chewy boba, but hey, it was bonus. What I really disliked was the ambiance. The decor was fun, but the music was too loud and the lighting was extremely dark. Even the bathrooms, with the black decor, felt very, very dark. Service was really great though, our waitress and servers were attentive enough even though the food was slow to come out in the beginning. I think younger people would enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant. But for middle-aged me, it was hard to have a nice conversation with my partner and the food, while overall not bad, could have been so much better with a little bit more attention.
