位於Imperial Beach​且提供主廚精選菜單的優質餐廳

Imaginative food well prepared, great wines, excellent service, but some items rather pricey for the size, and very loud.

We were only in San Diego for 24 hours, and Animae was the perfect foodie destination for our short trip. Chef Tara’s menu masterfully stays true to Filipino flavors while elevating them in a way that feels both nostalgic and exciting. Every dish was beautifully executed, and the balance of flavors was impeccable. Our server, Chenise, made the experience even more memorable. She was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu with thoughtful recommendations. She kept the pacing and coursing of our meal just right, ensuring we could fully enjoy each dish without feeling rushed. The cocktails were another highlight - both inventive and perfectly balanced. Each drink complemented the food beautifully, and we could absolutely see ourselves coming back just to sit at the bar and work our way through the cocktail menu. From start to finish, Animae delivered on every level—food, service, and ambiance. If you’re looking for a truly special dining experience in San Diego, this is it. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town!

Great food, service and experience. It is pricey but so good! I’ll keep going to Nobu SD! It was slightly noisy but it does not change my very positive experience! The food was amazing. My son loved it and it was his first time sushi experience. I have set the bar too high! It is a must go to for sushi place with so many other great dishes!
