Anise Chinese Kitchen

"Food was soooo Good! Leaves you coming back for more!"

"I ordered their sesame chicken. It was disgusting. The chicken was over fried and tough to chew. The sauce was disgusting and definitely not the sweet sesame chicken flavor. The egg roll was extremely greasy. They forgot to pack my rice. When I called, a woman picked up the phone was extremely rude. She kept over talking me and the only solution she offered was to pack more rice the next time I order. Who said there would be a next time? When I asked how could she assure that, she proceeded to yell “fine we’ll Deliver it to you”. Just overall negative experience."

"Ordered fried rice and spicy sour soup It came with good value, and the taste was beyond my expectations. Overall speaking, happy to find this restaurant in this area. Will definitely visit it again."

"Anise is a gem. For $12 you get a lunch that includes entree, rice, soup, a drink and a spring roll. Fortune cookie with the check. It is near impossible to beat this combination anywhere else in The Bronx. You may find a bigger selection (Golden Corral or another buffet) but the food will be bland and poorly done. This food is done right. The kung pao chicken, was lean, crisp and without fat or gristle. The spring roll was light and fried precisely. The vegetables were beautiful and delicious from the baby corn to the mushrooms and zucchini. This is the best venue to host a business lunch in Riverdale and in the Bronx, outside of Little Italy or Throggs Neck. The other two locations will be far more expensive and have little to no parking. City Island also. I strongly recommend this for a business meeting or a delicious lunch."

"The best egg roll north of Canal (I had to order a second one!)...Delicious wonton soup made with thin, delicate wonton wrappers instead of those thick, slippery tasteless kind (I ordered another bowl!)...and yummy eggplant in garlic sauce (no seconds; I was finally full!!). This place is so much better than the Hunan Balcony it replaced. Had I known, I'd have tried it years ago. I can't wait to go back. Highly recommended."
