AnQi Bistro – 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!

Great food. Staples like filet mignon potstickers and garlic noodles are as good as they were when Anqi first opened. They have inventive, tasty cocktails. Service is hit or miss. One bartender had a stick up his butt and the other was super friendly.

If you're in for Asian fusion dishes, this is a great spot for you. Awesome presentation on each dishes. Have to try all their specialties. Reservation is highly recommend on weekends. The lounge chairs for some of the tables is a great touch but it's the most uncomfortable chair.

Every dish we ordered tastes so good. We ordered a lot of dishes, the most popular one at our table was the lobster dumpling and butterfish. The price is high. Service is good. It’s a good option for special occasions. Highly recommended.

This place is beautiful and elegant, and the service is excellent. Everything we tried was exquisite; the flavor of each dish is very unique. The "Anqi Wok Shaken Beef" is highly recommended .

AnQi Bistro is so good. They do a good job of blending different Asian flavors together. My favorite is the Eggplant, the way AnQi does eggplant is better than any other Asian style I know however on my 3rd visit the eggplant was soggier than the first 2 times and all the times after. The lamb chops were exploding with flavor and the butter fish was cooked perfectly. The service is pretty good and the atmosphere was just so cool. AnQi does have some consistency issues but overall it is very good.

This is a great Asian fusion at the restaurant it has something for everyone. We came here with a party of four on a Sunday night, easily got a table not a problem. I'm guessing this place gets pretty packed on the weekend though. For appetizers we had Tombo Tuna Tacos and Shrimp & Lobster Dumplings. Both were very delicious and presentation was. Our entrees were Crispy Orange Peel Chicken, Misoyaki Butterfish, Grilled Prawn Garlic Noodles, Kung Pao Eggplant. And by far the eggplant was the winner for us all. Interestingly, they don't give you chopsticks, which is kind of strange since it is a a Asian fusion restaurant, but apparently nobody cares. I would come back here but only for a special occasion.
