ANIMAE’s eclectic West Coast cuisine, layered with Asian influences, comes to life under Celebrated Chef Brian Malarkey.

Pourquoi ce sont des Perles rares

Chef de cuisine : Brian Malarkey

MICHELIN Plate
2022

D'après les éditeur·rices d'OpenTable : La chef américaine d'origine philippine Tara Monsod fait passer la cuisine fusion au niveau supérieur dans cet espace Art déco très branché. Attendez-vous à des versions opulentes de classiques, tels que les oreilles de porc croustillantes et le kare kare. Tara Monsod est l'un des rares chefs du pays à mettre la cuisine philippine sur le devant de la scène gastronomique. Cette approche lui a valu de nombreuses récompenses, dont une prestigieuse assiette MICHELIN.

Expertly crafted Asian Fusion in downtown San Diego. Stands out from the crowd with a different looking menu and cleverly constructed dishes. Trendy setting and a relaxed atmosphere. Reservations recommended.

1 out of the 8 dishes we got was out of this world. The rest were mostly good, some left a salty aftertaste. Get the pork tomahawk.

When have been several times. This time the food as pricey as ever did not stand up to the historical quality. The volume of music ( poor club music) made it hard to hear the waiter and hard to have a conversation with out leaning in and speaking loudly across the table.

Amazing food and staff. It was so cool to see elevated Filipino food, and it was my girlfriend’s first time trying A5 Wagyu, she said “it was the best thing I’ve ever put in my mouth”. Will be back in 6 months for my birthday!

We picked Animae to eat for our anniversary dinner, and it some ways, it was very good, but in others perhaps not the right place for us. Let's start with the food - we did 2 appetizers (the Nori Caesar and Mantou buns), 2 entrees (Short Rib Kare Kare and Szechuan Sea bass), 2 sides (Crispy potatoes and Wagyu fried rice), 2 desserts (Ube profiteroles and Sakura Panna Cotta), and 2 glasses of wine. We spent 2 hours there. Overall, it was extremely tasty and flavors all fantastic, although the execution leaves much room for improvement. The salad, though great umami of flavors, was very much overdressed. The soy glaze with the buns was too salty but the sour cream butter saved it. The fish dish was just meh in flavor, but perfectly cooked. The Short ribs and potatoes I felt were delicious, so no complaints there. The fried rice was ok, there was hardly any beef in there (tasted mostly egg and mushroom). Desserts were also delicious, but also a few misses. The panna cotta was bursting with flavor and texture but the panna cotta itself was too dense (too much gelatin) so it ate very heavy though the flavors were very light. The profiteroles were perfect. Just the right amount of sweetness, texture, and flavors. They gave us a little bonus dessert and sparkling wine for our anniversary, which was a nice touch. A little matcha cake with (very dense) mousse and chewy boba, but hey, it was bonus. What I really disliked was the ambiance. The decor was fun, but the music was too loud and the lighting was extremely dark. Even the bathrooms, with the black decor, felt very, very dark. Service was really great though, our waitress and servers were attentive enough even though the food was slow to come out in the beginning. I think younger people would enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant. But for middle-aged me, it was hard to have a nice conversation with my partner and the food, while overall not bad, could have been so much better with a little bit more attention.
