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.

Had a great time
by pepperoni2215
Loved this place! Got there just as it opened for lunch. The chef was stuck on the subway and the owner came out to explain and offer drinks while we waited. The waitress was fantastic. The peolple watching as we waited on comfy sofas outside made the time pass quickly. The food was great and prices comparable to other big city restaurants we have been too. The staff was so friendly, I would recommend this place to my friends.
- Pros: Excellent staff - good food
- Cons: A bit disorganized

Ehh... Ok
by philly92
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.
- Pros: They saw we weren't satisfied and tried their best to fix it
- Cons: Expensive, Small portions

terrible expensive food
by julie82
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.
- Cons: overpriced, food quality
