Good but a tad overpriced

Went for New Years sushi & wine and we were expecting to spend money for a memorable night between 4people. But for sharing the maki was tad overpriced & we were expecting more for 15$ per roll which wasn't enough food for us. But it was still a really fun place!

I've been to Ani twice now and the consistency in the quality of the food and service is excellent. The fish is really fresh and there's a good selection of Nigiri/Sashimi as well as Maki. The Sake list is pretty good as well but the prices are a bit steep compared to other locations.

High quality sushi prepared in a tastefully-decorated, modern environment, and attentive service Even better if: the rice on the rolls was just a bit soggier than I find to be ideal, and our server was just a bit curt. A little more attention to detail in both areas, and this venue can easily earn a full 5 star rating

Wouldn't go back

I thought it was a nice menu with lots of variety. The sashimi tasted a little fishy, and the roll was average. The ramen noodles were pretty tasty. There are just so many better Japanese/sushi restaurants in the city that I wouldn't go back to this one. Also, the waitress didn't split our bill correctly.
