Anise looked promising from the start. It's got a cool loungy look and great coctails. But it goes down hill from there. The food was bland. We had the over-priced spring rolls. About $3ea. and they were just ok. The 3 other dishes didn't fare any better. In a nutshell, the noodles were hard and stuck together, the batter on a shrimp dish was under cooked and soggy. Normally that dish is crunchy. We left hungry, and went down the steet to Taco Bravo to fill up. There are plenty of good Vietnamese restaurants in the South Bay but I'm sorry to say this isn't one of them.
Pros: ambience, coctails, friendly staff
Cons: food, over-priced, food
