This restaurant is a phony restaurant. They added conferene tables as dining tables for the Sunday brunch, which made the place look very cheesy. For $46/person, the main courses were flank steak and salmon. The flank steak was so tough you couldn't even cut through. Crusted salmon was overly cooked and drenched in oil We couldn't find anything worth eating here besides the bagels. You simply know that they did not use high quality of food, since some dishes like salads and omlettes were so simple to prepare that they would naturally taste good if good ingredients were added into. On top of that, service was lousy. This was a huge disappointment. We went to this restaurant based on citysearch's 9.1 rating. That rating is INCORRECT.

I finally had a chance to try out Anzu. They have been around for awhile, but never got around to it. I must say that I was very happy with our meal and the service was perfect. Highly recommended

When I go out and spend $150 on a meal for two, I want it to be a memorable experience. This wasn't. The food was good and the service was adequate. But the ambiance of the place is just plain boring. Anzu looks like it's in the banquet room of a hotel. You know what I mean: low acoustical tile ceiling and virtually nothing interesting about the artwork or table setings. Very boring indeed. There are many other places in this city where the food is as good or better and the surroundings are a lot more interesting. Pros: drinks Cons: , cost

Let's face it, San Francisco lacks authentic sushi places compared to NYC. Being a Japanese and fairly new in town, locals would name off their favorites with names which doesn't sound anything remotely close to authentic (Blowfish, Sushi Groove, Tokyo Go Go.....hellooo???) and serving those "fusion" sushis. This is one place which I would have to vouch for sushis just like home! Other reviewers who rated this BAD either don't know real sushi because they only know those sushis catered to westerners (ie. mayos, avocadoes). This is NOT the place if you're seeking for those sushis. Recommened to those who had sushis in Japan and know the REAL stuff! Pros: ambiance, fresh sushi, friendly sushi master Cons: , expensive

Haven't eaten here yet, but how could you go wrong with steak and sushi?! I have, on many occasions, had their sake and sake cocktails. They are excellent and (I don't know if it's on the menu) but if you're interested in a cold sake tasting just ask the bartender. Pros: sake, cocktails, service

we party of 6 went to Anzu on Saturday night (05/01/04). Three of the party ordered their Salmon entry and they served it very rare and even when told that they need it well done they couldn't do it right even the second time and the best they could do is took it off the bill. I ordered Halibut and that's not good either. Sushi is ok. Best meal of the night is my 4 yr olds Chicken Nuggets and frenck fries and one dessert. Unless you want to eat Sushi don't go this place. We went to Firefly same week and their Salmon and Halibut entires are much tastier than Anzu.

If you're a true sushi fan, what I mean is you like freshest sushi with no fuss, ANZU is the ultimate place to go. Takahashi san WOW me everytime I eat at his sushi bar...Toro (fatty tuna) is my favorite, but everything else is great. Just let Takahashi san know how much you want to spend, and let him decide for you...and be ready to be surprise and impressed. Pros: Freshest Sushi, Good Service

I am the sort of person that has no problem paying high prices for great food, but I hate getting ripped off for crappy food and service like I did last night. The food is just ok- and if you're going to spend money going out blah and ok just don't cut it. The bartender messed up two drink orders from the waitress, and on the third, because they didn't have the ingredients, brought, and charged me for a cocktail totally different from what I had ordered. We also had a crappy table and the restaurant was half empty. A VERY negative experience. Don't waste your time. Pros: bar decor Cons: bartender, food, restaurant decor

The flavors used in sauces for the beef and asparagus and other items made a simple dish taste excquisite. The sushi was comprable to just about any other sushi spot, but all else (crab cake, salad) was outstanding! Knowledgeable watistaff - recommended a wine that was great but I wouldn't have tried otherwise. Pros: Soft lighting, Great Service Cons: Expensive

I love eating at ANZU whether it be on a date or with friends. The food is so delicious and is consistently good. I've sat at the sushi bar several times and it's always been a good experience - this is the freshest sushi I have ever tasted. And the steak? Need I say more? It was so tender and tasty that it melted in my mouth. Wow! Am getting hungry again, just writing this down. I highly recommend this restaurant.
