TL;DR: Excellent Vietnamese, fast service, and a beautiful view. I've been to Vietnam twice, and the food here is spot-on. Fresh, authentic, and really well-balanced. I had the Bún Thịt Nướng, grilled pork over vermicelli noodles with fresh lettuce, pickled carrots, and nước chấm sauce. The pork was juicy, the noodles freshly cooked, and the sauce without being too sweet. Simply delicious! I honestly don't understand the previous review calling the food bland. Maybe they ordered the American dishes, or their taste buds were having an off day? read more

Casual dining place with an amazing customer service and a beautiful view by the water. We were sat in the patio. Hot and sunny day, but the umbrellas covered us well. Our waiter was very attentive and quick with the service. Food, water, and fixing the umbrellas - she handled everything well. I ordered the grilled pork chops. They were very tasty. That glaze was definitely the cherry on top. Marinated for 48 hours means that the flavor is really there. A little bit sweet, savory, and the perfect char makes each bite delightful. read more

We only dropped by for beverages, but ordered the fried calamari. Drinks ordered were Vietnamese coffee, coconut juice, and jasmine tea. We sat outside where there is a nice water front view. It wasn't too cold, had a nice breeze on a warm day. Drinks were pretty standard and refreshing, although my sister, who is an avid tea drinker, said the tea doesn't taste like jasmine tea. I replied back "that's weird, jasmine is a distinct flavor for a tea." She said yea...but she liked the warmth and found it soothing. Calamari was really good. Not heavy or greasy as it can be at other places. It was lightly battered and was crispy. I enjoyed the sauce it came with, but when I asked what kind of sauce it was, the server did not know...he stammered and said "uhh...an aioli" I was wanting to know what kind it was. Our friend said it tasted kinda like a Big Mac sauce. I do want to give this a try for a full dining experience because this visit was very pleasant. read more

Me and the wifey was walking along the Richmond Marina and decided to check and see if Ann's had a happy hour. They did not but the food smelled really good so we decided to get a couple of drinks and share an appetizer I chose the old fashioned and wifey got the mule. For the appetizer we had the pork and shrimp Imperial Rolls. The drinks were very good and so was the imperial rolls. I have been to Ann's before and the service has always been top notch. The restaurant is clean and it's easy to have a conversation there. Will be going back. read more

I've been wanting to come back to sit at one of the patio tables and last weekend we finally made it back to enjoy a lovely early dinner on a sunny evening. Our service started out rocky (long wait to order drinks) but quickly improved. I think our server was busy and another server wasn't helping her much. The food was great, drinks cold and view beautiful. All good vibes for a sunny Sunday. read more

I've had a few occasions recently to dine here for lunch. The service is good, the view is very nice if the weather is cooperating. The prices are reasonable and they are good sized portions. The spring rolls are fine for sharing, The pork belly was filling, and the papaya mango salad was refreshing. Their menu covers Thai, Vietnamese and Korean dishes, so there are a lot of options to choose from. The bike trail runs along the waterfront so you can take a stroll afterward and enjoy. read more

I had been to Lara's Fine Dining next door for brunch a couple of years ago and was curious to check out Anh's, not realizing that they are both owned by Lara Choe until reading the restaurant's history on their Yelp page. I love that Lara Choe bought Anh's from Anh's daughter Candice, but kept her on board to continue her mother's vision of authentic Vietnamese food. Anh, Candice, and Lara's perspectives are definitely reflected in the flavorful Vietnamese and Korean dishes we had for dinner tonight. The green beans and tofu were perfectly cooked with the inviting flavor of lemongrass that kept us going back for more. I can't eat a lot of beef so I appreciated that I could order the bibimbap with chicken, and really enjoyed the spice level and balance of flavors in the dish. Service was great, and we did not feel rushed when the restaurant was closing up. read more

Great food but really loud. Came to celebrate my uncle's birthday and there was plenty on the menu for the group. Started with the fried calamari, spring rolls and fried shrimp. The calamari was the hit, light but crispy. There was a assortment of mains but the highlight were the garlic noodles with protein-chicken and shrimp. So garlicky and flavorful! Also had their pork belly, lemongrass chicken, and beef bun. Good but on the saltier side. Service was quick and friendly. read more

Anh Restaurant & Bar is tucked away in Richmond on Esplanade Dr. Since traveling there recently, we also came upon another restaurant that's right next door ~ Lara's Fine Dining. Both restaurants share a parking lot, right on the water. A lookout of the Richmond Marina, perfect for a sunny day. We were hoping to sit outside at Anh and soak up the sun, but the weather had a bit of a dip in temperature ~ I would love to come back and sit outside on the patio. The staff was so kind to set us up with a table that accommodated our kiddo. We ordered garlic noodles and a Thai iced tea to start, and noticed their menu seems to have expanded (in a great way) over time. The Thai iced tea was super refreshing and came out quickly, the garlic noodles super flavorful, warm, and comforting. I went with the Bi-Bim-Bap, grilled chicken as my protein. My husband went with the classic Pho. Everything was solid, fresh, and had good flavoring. I think overall I was left wanting a bit more from my dish ~ I've had other versions of this dish throughout the East Bay, and while I appreciate the culinary design of this specific bowl, it fell a bit short for me. Felt a bit deconstructed with interesting portions of each component. Pricing is fair, they had an ample indoor lunch crowd. Maybe next time I'll try a drink, split a few starters, and split an entree. Regardless, happy to visit Anh Restaurant & Bar in a part of Richmond that seems to be growing with time. Looking forward to giving it a go again! read more

For years I would pass Anh whenever I'd run at the Richmond Marina, but only recently did I get the chance to try the food and drinks here! A mentor of mines took me out to dinner here in celebration of my recent graduation and a farewell for my time away overseas for a months. The restaurant was spacious and of course had a cute little view of the marina and bay right outside. Dinner time on a weekday was nice and convenient, and the staff were super chill and patient as we took time to scan the menu and decide what we wanted. We ordered the following: - Shaking chicken: 4.5/5 - this was so flavorful and such a good protein dish! - Spring rolls: 4/5 - Clean and healthy; the sauce made it sooo good. - Fish cakes: 4/5 - they were yummy and good complement to the other dishes we had considering that we tried to balance out our nutritional options. - Spiked Vietnamese coffee: 5/5! I love Vietnamese coffee already but getting to experience an alcohol-based version was solid with this dinner. It was strong with a rich coffee flavor. Something I'd like to emphasize is that these dishes (in my opinion) are ideal for sharing. I ended up taking a lot of the food home because between us two, it was rough eating everything in one go. I can see Anh being a popular place to celebrate as well as a good place for a date! I'd definitely love to come back in the near future. read more

The setting is stunning, with a fantastic view of the water from the outdoor seating area. I tried the vegan tofu bun bowl, which was tasty, though I wasn't a fan of the egg roll and wished the tofu pieces were larger. The jasmine iced tea was delicious; the jasmine flavor was prominent and I appreciated that it was unsweetened. My friend ordered the mango shrimp papaya salad and enjoyed it. The servers were attentive and kind. I would definitely come back to try more of their vegan options. read more

Came here on a Monday afternoon and was seated right away. It was a beautiful day in the bay so we opted to be seated outdoors and what a view and secluded neighborhood. The space was spacious indoors and outdoors probably can seat maybe 18 people between all the tables. We ordered Thai tea and coconut water for drinks and both were delicious and refreshing. For appetizers we did calamari and Korean spicy/sweet wings. Calamari was okay nothing super special but wasn't bad! The wings were good in flavor. For entrees we got the chicken salad and I thought this was really good in flavor. Really brought me back to my childhood . Although they serve you heavy on the chicken but not so much cabbage. I'd love for there to be a bit more cabbage but that's just me :) we also ordered the lobster garlic noodles of course! And they give you 1 lobster tail with additional lobster in the dish which is a good amount and also the garlic noodles! It was drenched in sauce. Overall 8/10! Service was great as well. Would come back if I was in the area! read more

Great spot with an amazing view of the water. Service was very fast and we were seated right away. All of the waiters and waitresses are really nice and welcoming. I've been here a few times and Anh checks every box no matter what group of friends or family you go with. I've been here later for dinner with friends and had some drinks and shared apps. Great portions and selection for everyone to enjoy. Also came here with family and had the pho. The broth was so flavorful and the ingredients tasted so fresh! read more

The food is very tasty! My favorite appetizer there is the panko crusted shrimp. I get it every time. The drinks are always really tasty and well mixed. I really like their Pho. It's a nice serving size! The views are amazing if you go on a sunny day, you get a clear view of the bay and all of the nice sailboats around. It's definitely a my go to when I don't feel like cooking for myself. read more

I've been wanting to try this place so we got take out here tonight. My partner got the grilled pork chops with white rice and I got the combination bun bowl with shrimp and pork. We also got an order of shrimp and pork spring rolls. The pork chops were bomb! The bun bowl was pretty good as well but the marinated daikon and carrots were a little on the sour side. The spring rolls were missing the mint that the menu said it included which was a bummer but it did come with some well made peanut sauce! This place has ample parking which is always a plus! It's worth a second visit for a dine in experience since it's right on the water! read more

I had a chilled glass of beer on tap that was refreshing. I ordered the garlic noodles and opted for the rib eye slices that accompanied it. The noodles were garlicky which was great. The rib eye was a relatively small portion but what do you expect for just a small surcharge. That price for chicken is the same. Go figure. I had the banana samosas with ice cream. Not only were they delightful but it only cost $8. It was also artistic in presentation. The service was good as I ate indoors. You can opt to eat outside too. read more

The beef broth wasn't as good as previous, it sort of tasted like bouillon and water. The oxtails were meaty with a little too much fat. I did enjoy the calamari and the wing. The ice was okay, but that probably because I mostly eat vanilla. Lol I think I need to try other dishes, because I tend to or the same dishes here. read more

I've been coming here since it's open. I've had about everything on the menu. Everything is a bit pricey. The pho (chicken, beef, surf & turf, veggie) has always been tasty. But never had the fixings but siracha and hoisin. The rice plates (short ribs, pork belly, bbq chicken) were good but chimmy on the rice. Garlic noodles has always been a favorite. The lobster garlic noodles is ok if you like more of a tomato sauce. Appetizers (spring rolls, calamari) were also really good. Salads are good portion to share and tastes ok. Mixed drinks were good. Thai tea has been good. For about 7 years, the food had not disappointed. Service has been good, seated right away. Staff is nice. UNTIL 9/5/2025, i decided to bring my toddler. Was able to order my toddler kid pho (it's not on the menu). I had the veggie garlic noodles. The pho always comes out fast. But as soon as the pho hit the table, I can smell a strong stench that smelled so fishy. I thought oh maybe it's the noodles. I then tried the noodles before giving to my kid. The noodles were hard. Left the pho alone. I tried my garlic noodles and there was a strong smell to that as well. Smelled rotten. Tasted it and it was ok. I stopped eating as I lost appetite from the smell. Waiter came over and I had them bring another bowl of pho out with softer noodles. (maybe this would fix the stench smell) NOPE, still smelled so bad that my kid wouldn't eat. My kid loves pho and never denies it. So that was it for us, we paid for our last time there and left. Took my kid to our usual pho spot and he ate all of his noodles. Thanks for the service Anh, not sure what happened but you've lost a long time customer for disappointing my kid. read more

Pretty setting on the water in Richmond. Had the sizzling chicken dish with vegetables and brown rice. Waaaay too expensive at $25. The vegetables were fine. The rice was lukewarm. The chicken was dry and overcooked. Would go back for maybe an appetizer or glass of wine and the pretty setting. The prices don't match the quality of the food. Service was fine- not exceptional. read more

Yummy on the food and terrific on the view of the surrounding Marina. Hubby and I have gone several times now, and brought friends. A varied menu with good portions and friendly wait people. The outdoor patio is enclosed, so there's not too much of an issue with wind, but be careful of where you sit re: the sun. It can get too warm and in your eyes at the wrong time of day. We pretty much stayed with Pho, entrees and salads and so I can't comment on the fried food. I tasted everything from the table (I'm like that haha), and enjoyed the flavours. IMHO the prices for the dishes are more than reasonable. Come casual or fancy... it all works. Would recommend. read more

Glad this restaurant is still around. Reliably good food, nice staff, clean restrooms.

We stopped into Anh's after Christmas shopping at an art fair at Craneway. I'd heard of Anh's before and looked forward to trying it. Restaurant is located on the Richmond Marina with waterfront views. Entering the restaurant, the beautiful bar is the focal point with a small indoor dining area. A sliding glass door opens to the outside seating, which has expanded beyond the enclosed patio since COVID, I assume. We chose a table on the patio, and only two other tables were occupied at the time. We wanted a light lunch and shared the veggie imperial rolls, Chinese chicken salad, and garlic noodles with veggies. I've had imperial rolls at other Vietnamese restaurants, and was looking forward to the started. Sadly, the rolls were undercooked leaving a gooey chew to the wrapper. They were crispy on the outside, but that texture inside was not pleasing. As well, there was little filling and it didn't have flavor except for the very tasty sweet and spicy dipping sauce. Hubby and I shared the salad and noodles. The salad had a lot of veggies, fresh orange segments, and the chicken was tender. Topped with crispy wonton strips and served with a sesame dressing. All the makings of what was sure to be a delish salad, but somehow it left me wanting. I can't put my finger on it, but it was just average. I make a pretty mean Asian chicken salad myself, so maybe I expect more when dining out. And lastly, we had the garlic noodles, which are served with what appears to be thick udon noodles. I could see the fresh garlic in addition to the crispy garlic topper. Plenty of broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots were added as the veggie addition. Again, the flavor was lacking. I am stumped as to why, because I could see the garlic, and I could taste it, but it was still ho-hum. As we ate, most of the tables inside and out filled up. We saw what other diners ordered and some looked and smelled wonderful. I have to wonder if we just ordered the wrong items. We didn't select anything that Ahn's is known for, maybe that was our mistake. The service was very good-- all wait staff were friendly and helpful. We ate all of our food because it wasn't bad, just not great, and the team was lovely. We may come back and try some of the more popular dishes -- and enjoy the beautiful outdoor setting again. read more

I went on a nice bike ride on the marina and was pleasantly surprised that there was a restaurant on grounds. I went in for a salad and was immediately greeted without a hello. The worker let me know that I couldn't bring my bike in. I let her know it would get stolen and I could break it down. She said there wouldn't be room for it. There were only 2 people on the patio. I did not eat there and will not recommend this place due to rude customer service. It's literally on a bike trail smh. read more

Vietnamese food has probably been saved from the mass market because most people never master the sauces and condiments that must be added to the food, at the table, for its glories to become apparent. It's too much trouble, and a lot of people don't like asking for help, especially if the interaction involves some linguistic awkwardness -- Tyler Cowen A nice bay food pairing with the adjacent Lara's. The stars here are the entrees and spring rolls. Not impressed with the pho but the garlic noodles with beef are to die for. I usually bring a Pinot with corkage only $20. On a good day, sitting outside with a bay view is heaven. This hidden Richmond gem is Highly recommended. read more

I like coming here. It's one of the regular places my colleagues and I like to go to during work days. I usually order pho or bbq meat dishes here, but decided to try shaking beef this time. I think I like the pho and grilled meats better than the shaking beef. Usually shaking beef at other Vietnamese places are dry, but this one is saucy, almost like a sweet and sour sauce. Appetizers and drinks here are good here too. They have outdoor seating where you can see the water, and indoor seating. Good for smaller groups of 10 or less people. read more

The Richmond Marina has a nice walkway that starts where the ferry disembarks and wraps around the marina and toward the marshlands where it continues the Bay Trail. It's a pretty good walk, flat and paved, so I can work up an appetite if I pick up the pace. Little girls in pigtails pass me by, and they're not even on scooters. The last thing I expected to find was a full-fledged Vietnamese restaurant. It's more contemporary than the ones you can find along San Pablo Avenue, but it also felt quite a bit pricier perhaps due to all the yacht owners. The menu was pretty robust with Vietnamese favorites from rice plates to garlic noodles to entree salads. I was particularly intrigued by the $22 Oxtail Pho where several slowly simmered oxtails were placed in a bowl packed with rice noodles. It accessorized with bean sprouts, jalapeño slices, and Thai basil leaves (photo: https://bit.ly/425wnla). The one aspect that was lacking a bit was the broth as I was hoping for a richer flavor, but I was pleased with how generous they were with the oxtails. Gnawing them was not a pretty sight. But hey, I feel like I earned them with my long harbor-side walk even though toddlers were bypassing me right and left. FOOD - 4 stars...oxtails are such a nice enhancement to a bowl of pho AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...a bit crowded inside, better outside on the terrace SERVICE - 4 stars...quite attentive TOTAL - 4 stars...a welcome lunch stop at the Richmond Marina RELATED - Exploring Richmond?

I needed a place to sit, eat and drink while I waited for someone. I did a quick yelp search bars with restaurants near me. Anh restaurant popped up. The restaurant sits right on the water. It had a nice cozy view. The menu was very simple and easy to navigate. I am in love with Pho, so I ordered a bowl, spring rolls with a vodka spritz.
