My husband and I visited Pacific Grove for two nights earlier this week and we ate dinner both nights at An Choi. The first night my husband got the orange duck and it was the best duck I ever tasted, and I don't even like duck! My fish and prawns were outstanding as was the wine and creme brulee. On... more

Fresh ingredients, fabulous flavors, friendly owners and staff. I especially love the chicken potsticker appetizer, clay pot fish, shaking beef, and the vegetarian green bean and tofu dish. more

I was reading through the reviews, and was genuinely surprised by the one about the quality of the Kung Pao Chicken. Both my Son and I think it is far superior than any we've had elsewhere. Last visit, I dropped back to my favorite, Shaken Beef. Excellent, as usual. We both also love the Crispy Saigon Rolls with that wonderfully... more

The 9 small pieces of chicken burried in tons of bell pepper was very rubbery and dry. We complained so the waitress took the dish and after few seconds, the cook came out telling us it was... more
