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

Not for me. Maybe this is good Philippine/South Asian. But it was not great food and left us desperate for a plate cleansing. Cucumbers too oily chilis bland. Pig ear reeked of fish sauce. Crunchy rice and crag fired rice were decent but overly salted. Had the pork, sea bass and kare kare fine. I clear what the name has to do with the space or the menu. Service was great.

Highly recommended. We have the best experience ever! Dina was our server and she was excellent! Overall, the restaurant has given us a superb customer service from the entrance to our table. The food was delicious! Especially the Taiwanese chicken and Miyazaki wagyu tenderloin! This place was worth it. Will be back again.

This was our second visit to Animae. Last night we dined as a couple, and I think we enjoyed the dinner even more than with a group of 7. We were not distracted by the friends and conversations, and we appreciated the amazing creativity and innovation that Chef Tara is bringing to San Diego diners! We began with the Kampachi Crudo with Yuzu sauce as a cold starter, and it was excellent. We also had the Beet Salad from the cold starter section, and the beets were on a ricotta creamy sauce. Also Excellent! My favorite burst of flavor from both visits was the Hunan Lamb Chops which have Szechuan Peppercorns as one of the lively flavors, from the Hot Starters section. We ordered the Wagyu Fried Rice, and enjoyed it very much with the Lamb Chops and with the final meat course: Roast Duck Leg, with an Asian flavors sauce. We had the Chocolate Cremeux dessert, and it was also a show stopper! The table service was gracious, informative, friendly, and not irritating in any way. The scene inside the restaurant was very cheerful, and the room is dramatic and very arty! Animae is definitely our go-to restaurant for out of town guests who might have preconceptions that San Diego dining is not on an international level.

Service: A+. The wait staff was truly incredible. From arranging cutlery on table to timing of food. All very thought out and attentive to detail Ambience: B. Extremely noisy. If you go to comparable restaurants in the area like Brigantine or Eddie Vs, this restaurant is quite loud compared to those. Especially considering the caliber of all these restaurants. Food: A. Food tasted great. Meats were tender and cooked through, no over spices in any of the dishes, and good selection of fare for all. Pricing: B. Meal pricing is not the best considering the type of dishes. Chinese and Taiwanese cooking can be very complex. However, considering the ingredients in those dishes at this restaurant and the type of meals…Animae is overpriced. Overall Value: B+. The noisyness, and the meal pricing does it for me. Great experience at Animae my first time but would not add it to my list of restaurants I’d return to.
