Food: Menu full of paradoxes
It seems like Anjin's got a bit of a paradox on its hands when it comes to the food. By some strange miracle, the simple and basic menu manages to offer quality food experiences. Even though there aren't many options, the freshness of premium ingredients and flavors is unforgettable. The only downside: many perceive portions as unremarkable and not the best value for your buck.

Vibe: Intimate whispers, loud murmurs
The vibe at Anjin is a juxtaposition of opposites. It's a cozy and intimate spot, apt for romantic dates and elevated by great drinks and cold beer. But while it enjoys popularity among the locals, the buzz surrounding it is a bit divided. And bear in mind, conversation near the kitchen could be quite a challenge.

Okay Buzz
Small and cozy with local following, yet detached and overhyped by some.
Perks: An oasis with thorns
The perks at Anjin are like a beautiful desert. There're gems in the form of friendly, fast, and considerate service, but thorns of inconvenience too. Parking can be a nightmare, it's not at all suitable for large groups and outdoor seating is a let-down. Moreover, noise levels and no reservations policy might prove to be a test of patience.

Okay For Diets
