    Pulled Up To Order, Anytime of the Day. Excellent Service. Great food late at night, when everything else Asian related is closed.

    I had been to Anime before, but not in a while, so the menu was completely different…read more Let start by saying the ambiance is modern, luxe, and fun. Even down to the cool art in the bathroom. I notice details. lol Music very cool! I loved it. Best moment was while we were having our drinks at our table at a booth next to the window, the shade all in unison all went up and we saw the sun set! Yes!! Anyway, the staff from host to the waitress to bus-lady. Everyone was top notch and pros at their craft! The waitress was really on top of her game and really nice. Loved her! Thank you to her. I didn't catch her name. I'm sorry. Wine selection was fab. Ordered the chicken and wagyu rice. Omg! Soooo delicious! I literally when I ate it was saying "omg". I tasted a bite of the pork tomahawk and that was amazing as well! Everything was amazing. I honestly couldn't believe we waited so long to come back. Thank you everyone at Anime for all your hard work and for making our experience amazing.

    This was my 3rd time at Animae and I will continue bringing my friends/family here!…read more - close to the waterfront so great to take a nice walk after dinner - interior was classy and elevated - very attentive staff who made great recommendations and knew the menu well - recommend the roasted cabbage, pig ears, scallop crudo - honestly anything you order will be great! - parking is difficult around there so recommend trolley since there is a nearby stop!

Each bite feels like a quiet luxury, especially when paired with decadent touches like caviar service atop lingcod chicharrón with crème fraîche. The happy hour bites are just as refined--bold, unexpected, and beautifully executed. From the rich duck liver mousse to the vibrant bulgogi birria vampiro and delicate stone crab taco, every plate is a balance of flavor and artistry. A moment to slow down, savor, and toast to the finer things... without the splurge. fun times

I really wanted to get their $1.50 oysters that's marketed on their sidewalk sign. Upon being seated, we were greeted with water and a palate cleanser shooter. After ordering a dozen oysters, and crab tacos we were informed that they were sold out. (Bummer) Ended up ordering the silkworm tacos, yellow peppers, birria tacos, and the crispy chicken dish. Everything was plated nicely, but the fusion flavors were a little overwhelming for me. The restaurant itself is beautiful. Ambiance, decor, and cleanliness. The hostess also was kind enough to call me to let me know that our phone was left behind.

    Our 20th wedding anniversary was spent at our true guilty pleasure: Dija Mara…read more We would have loved to get everything on the menu but honestly we get stuffed really quickly and tried to stick with the perfected dishes: Grilled Roti with Lamb Jus Curry Sea Bream Ceviche Actually we noticed the menu didn't mention "Sea Bream" anymore and just said "Local Ceviche". Did they change fish? Tasted the same basically. Still amazing as always. We also tried some new dishes: Beef Tartare Chicken Thigh Skewers Green Curry Mussels The Beef Tartare was just okay. It's the only dish I probably would not ever order again. It wasn't bad, but compared to every other banger on the menu, it's last. Something has to be last. The Chicken Thigh Skewers were AMAZING! OMG, so much flavor in the chicken but the sauce really drove it overboard. Wow. These are a must try, you won't regret it. And lastly, the Green Curry Mussels blew us away. I love mussels and always order it whenever I see it on a menu. We devoured all of the mussels (and added the $9 Roti) and even got a container to-go to save the broth, lol. Truly another banger from Dija Mara. I really appreciate that the menu changes periodically without removing the veteran dishes we continue to enjoy. Just want to mention something besides the culinary spectacles. Dija Mara's decor is every bit as memorable as its food. The artwork isn't an afterthought--it's part of the experience. The dining room manages to feel both trendy and intimate at the same time, while the graffiti-covered back wall adds a playful, street-art feel that contrasts beautifully with the polished food and cocktails. The result is a space that feels creative, unpretentious, and genuinely cool. The industrial concrete and reclaimed wood elements give it a modern edge, while the Indonesian-inspired art creates a sense of place that feels completely unique in North County. This is really our happy place and I hope it never changes.

    What a disappointment. I had high expectations due to the Michelin bib Gourmand award, but the…read moreflavors fell extremely short. The restaurant was fairly empty although Resy wouldn't take reservations. Plenty of bar seating. The service was fair, not particularly warm or engaging, which was fine. The food was alluring and beautiful, but the flavors were salty, flat, and mushy. Starting with the Paloma, it was nothing special. Just something you could get with a well happy hour special. Serviceable but unremarkable. Very Instagrammable, however. The pork belly was nicely charred and had nice bite sized morsels on the skewer, good texture, but the sauce was very salty, almost bitter. Forced myself to eat the 2nd skewer, but could not push through the last 2. In contradistinction, the beef rendang was almost bland, like a microwaveable peanut butter Hormel beef stew, and the cardinal sin - the rice underneath was mushy. That was what sealed the nail on the coffin. Bland, albeit tender short rib, on top of smushy rice. Dead. I barely ate one of the 2 pieces of ribs and couldn't do more. The staff wanted to see if I wanted a take out container. When you see a customer that disengaged with the food, you'd better be wary. Being Asian, I don't like to waste food, but when it's so not good, I'd rather walk away and get something else than to finish a terrible meal. Many diners have a millennia of choices in this price point. Sadly, not sure how this restaurant got recognition because it's half as delicious as your typical neighborhood Thai restaurant. Banana Leaf at the Original farmers market in LA is better, though humble and homely. Just very disappointing. Hope it was an off night and that others have a better experience.
