    Lamb with Scallions (includes onions though not in the name)
    Joanne Z.

    Mary had a little lamb...with scallions and onions. It was the best Asian lamb dish she'd ever had. The veggies were perfectly cooked Al dente and the dish was not drowning or swimming in sauce, letting the delicious flavor shine. The new chef at this popular Riverdale establishment under new management knows what he's doing! And the staff are all very welcoming and accommodating. My friend loved her Spring rolls, steamed chicken dumplings and edamame. I just saw some earlier negative reviews that probably predated the overhauling of this eatery. I avoided Anise for awhile but since they changed management and chef, I have not been disappointed. And I'm very particular!

    Metal in my food
    Simone S.

    There was so much wrong with my order here and I can say I will not be returning. And that says a lot as I rarely write places off without giving them at least two tries. The service. The woman who took my order seemed as though I was bothering her. Very unfriendly. But also, I've noticed this must be cultural because I have never gotten happy and pleasant ordering from any Chinese/Asian inspired places. So I let that roll off. The food. First off it was expensive. $70 for 2 orders of shrimp in garlic sauce, boneless spare ribs, and dumplings. I asked for extra bbq sauce on the ribs. If what I got was extra, the normal must be literally a drop. The white rice was hard. The shrimp in garlic sauce was bland and there were so many random vegetables in this dish I don't even know what some where. Ie this green stuff (looked like cooked seaweed or purple cabbage) and these white items (not water chestnuts or bamboo shoots) in the pictures. It was random. Then to top it off, THERE WAS A PIECE OF SHAVED METAL IN MY FOOD. What if I had swallowed that or chewed it. That I can't just shrug off.

    I had been craving chicken & broccoli one night & the Chinese restaurant that I usually order from has subpar chicken & broccoli. So I decided to order from Anise for the first time & boy was I not disappointed! Their chicken & broccoli is perfectly seasoned & the crab Rangoon is great too! This is now my go to Chinese food spot!

    I am very picky when it comes to Chinese food but this place checked off all the boxes. I ordered during lunch time and I couldn't believe the amount of food and options I received for the price. With my lunch special order I received a decent 5-6" plate of shrimp and broccoli, 16oz wonton soup with wonton strips, 8oz container of white rice and a mini egg roll. All for $11.00

    This is the most disgusting Chinese restaurant in Riverdale. The foods are not fresh and it took more than half hour of wait time to serve lunch specials. Their wonton soup smells sticky and the fillet fish is definitely not fresh

    This is a well known bakery right in the heart of the South Bronx! (BX Stand Up!) I've brought the…read moresame cake from this place years ago. The customer service, the cake, & the taste was all the same as what it was before. AMAZING! I got the fresh strawberry shortcake with crackers all around for a friend's birthday. I was able to get the bakery to write on the cake and buy candles for the cake as well. They boxed it up for me nicely and safely so the cake wouldn't mess up. When I brought the cake to the party it was the main attraction at the end of the night. The cake was sliced and served. Once the guest had that first bite they were taken aback at how BOMB the cake was! They said it was the perfect kind of sweet. Not overly sweet like other cakes and how it tasted so fresh and delicious. Awww man I need you to experience it for yourself! This cake in particular has me in a chokehold! Their other pastries also look equally amazing on display. COME TO ARTUSO!

    So pretty packed place , workers attended to us right away . What we ordered didn't taste all that…read moregood at all . The white puff looking thing was just really disgusting to me and first time trying it after frequenting many Italian pastry spots . I guess the crime is high in this area since they have hi plastic glass all over . Disappointing in how the area smells and looks now but not their fault . The people living in the area is what made it what it is. Wouldn't come back here though so many Better ones in bk and all over.
