What People Are Saying About Anjou Restaurant

In Short
Global fusion restaurants are as commonplace as historic markers in Old City and the French named, Korean-Japanese influenced Anjou fits right in. Also par for the neighborhood is the cocktail-centric setup: The bar spills into the dining area, and the modish downstairs lounge has both sushi bar and DJ booth. Opt for the oceanic miso soup; sake-dressed dumplings stuffed with beef; heart udon noodle soup; and flavorful, chewy strips of grilled beef called kalbi.

My boyfriend and I went to this restaurant for Dinner. I must admit we hated the mushroom soup, BUT the waiter (who was absolutely awesome) saw we weren't really touching the soup and offered to bring out a different kind at no additional cost. The soup he brought out was really good and we both ate every bite. The entree was ok too, but the price is definitely on the high end. The atmosphere was nice though.... The experience was definitely...different.

I went to Anjou for a lunch with a friend. The potstickers were drenched in oil and tasted as if they were frozen and reheated. The accompanying sauce would have been bad for Trader Joe's frozen food. I ordered the salad special which was what had drawn us there -- mixed greens with mangoes, tomato, and fresh mozzarella. There was barely any fresh mozzarella, the tomatoes had clearly been frozen because they were still icy, and the mangoes were brown. The portion was small and I was charged $14. My friend ordered 3 rolls of sushi which were mediocre at best. She also ordered 2 ice teas which tasted funny and was charged $3 for each (waitress did not tell us refills were not free). This lunch came to $60 before tip. Most overpriced bad meal I've had in Philadelphia.

Not sure what the owners of Anjou are thinking. I went there for an early dinner in Old City and they informed about the martini specials. The "special" was a mini Martini for 7 dollars of shelf vodka or gin. Kettle one in the miniglass was 9.75. What in gods name are they thinking? Food was basic Asian-Fusion. Good, solid sushi, but small portions. Word to the owners: you cannot compete when you have overpriced portions and tiny watered down drinks. No Wonder your place had 8 people at 630 happy hour. Since you have a worn out theme, you need to seperate yourself from the pack. We went right around the corner to Buddakhan where they dont skimp on drinks or food.
