Reviews for Animae in San Diego, CA
Visited for dinner, my first time here. Shared style dishes. The starters are amazing! We had bao buns, dumplings and the... potatoes and finished up with the wagyu fried rice. We ordered one main dish the crab noodles and were underwhelmed. Wish westuck with sides/starters. The drinks are very tasty and there are quite a few options. The atmosphere is very warm andwelcoming and the service was good. Read more
We had an amazing dinner at Animae. The food was outstanding. Each dish was wonderful. The Taiwanese Chicken was the absolute... best dish on the menu - I couldn?t even get a picture of it before we had eaten almost the whole plate. The cocktails were verygood, some of them are quite strong and spirit forward. Our service started out great, but as the night went on it seemed thatour server had lost interest in serving us. I?m not sure if it was towards the end of her shift, but she seemed distracted whenshe was at our table and not present at all. This was disappointing because she started off great. Everything else waswonderful! We will definitely return. Read more
Fantastic dining experience. They were very accommodating as we were late for our reservation and the kitchen was closing soon.... The service was very quick but it did not feel rushed. Our waitress was very attentive and happy to recommend dishes. The softshell crab bun and the lamb ribs were delicious. The caviar toast was good but didn?t compare to the rest for my taste. TheWagyu and the duck fried rice were both mouth watering and an explosion of flavors. Lastly the dessert was a really interestingmixture of textures and flavors. Very happy I ordered it in the end. All in all will definitely be coming back. Read more
What a fantastic dining experience! The decor is beautiful; the service is excellent; the food is amazing!! I will say it was... very warm, so wear layers so you can take one off. Even with a sleeveless I was very warm, and I?m always cold wherever I go.The music is also very loud so my husband had a hard time hearing the server and she had to repeat everything to him.

Situated near downtown with a valet out front. The decor of the restaurant is modern. You should definitely dress up and at... least have a blazer. The chef is amazing and she will occasionally come out and bring plates to tables and talk to diners. Thefood was delicious. There are Filipino dishes reimagined and plated beautifully. The service was really great. Our server wasattentive and friendly. The other wait staff were on the ball. Even on really busy nights. I highly recommend this restaurant. Read more
We had a really good time here. Very unique tastes. Makes me want to come back and try everything we didnt. The porterhouse was... excellent. And we loved the shrimp stuffed toast! The sides we got were unique, but maybe a little too complex for my taste. Read more

11/10..my hands down favorite dining experience I've ever had. The restaurant itself was beautiful and the vibes were wonderful.... The service was amazing-very attentive, friendly and helpful. The food was hands down prepared perfectly in both look andtaste-I've never had this Asian fusion style before. I tried various cocktails which were all delicious and different thananywhere else I've been before. I have not a single complaint and will most definitely be returning. Read more
