Anise is a gem. For $12 you get a lunch that includes entree, rice, soup, a drink and a spring roll. Fortune cookie with the check. It is near impossible to beat this combination anywhere else in The Bronx. You may find a bigger selection (Golden Corral or another buffet) but the food will be bland and poorly done. This food is done right. The kung pao chicken, was lean, crisp and without fat or gristle. The spring roll was light and fried precisely. The vegetables were beautiful and delicious from the baby corn to the mushrooms and zucchini. This is the best venue to host a business lunch in Riverdale and in the Bronx, outside of Little Italy or Throggs Neck. The other two locations will be far more expensive and have little to no parking. City Island also. I strongly recommend this for a business meeting or a delicious lunch.

We went here with our cousin to get take out. Everyone thought it was good. Chinese food can be hit and miss so often so I'm hesitant ordering from a new place. Everyone thought it was good and was complementary so I'm giving it 4 stars. If you are in the neighborhood for whatever reason and hungry for Chinese stop in, you'll probably like what you order. The people at the counter were very nice as well which is a plus.

Ordered. Chicken & Broccoli, General Tao Chicken & Shrimp w/Lobster sauce Lunch specials. Good price for lunch specials with includes Soup, Rice (White,Brown or Vegetable Fried rice) & spring or Egg roll. So you get a-lot for the lunch specials. Wontons in soup are small & soft. They should offer Dinner combos though . Food was good, better then most take outs in the area.
