Small, cozy pan-Asian spot with fresh sushi and crowd-pleasing Chinese dishes; quick, kind service and fair prices, with occasional inconsistency and limited seating.
Anston Restaurant delivers solid neighborhood dining through exceptional service attentiveness and strong food quality anchored by fresh sushi and signature dishes like caramel chicken. However, inconsistent execution—occasional undercooked items and variable flavors—prevents a higher grade, while the tight seating limits appeal beyond local regulars. Fair pricing and warm hospitality make it competitive with respected neighborhood favorites, though it lacks the distinction of premier dining destinations.
Tucked near Neos Kosmos metro, this small room feels warm and welcoming, with cooks working in clear view and staff who keep an easy eye on the tables. One diner summed it up: friendly service with fresh plates that arrive faster than expected, even when the room is buzzing. Expect a neighborhood vibe more than a scene, a cozy space where regulars and travelers mingle. The cooking leans pan-Asian comfort: Chinese crowd-pleasers, fresh sushi, ramen, and shareable hot pot. Rolls are well-priced, fried rice is a reliable anchor, and caramel chicken plus Peking duck draw repeat orders. This is elevated traditional over flashy—solid flavors with a few creative touches rather than fine-dining theatrics. A handful of reviews note occasional greasiness or a dish that misses; most praise consistency and value. For families, it works well: kids gravitate to fried rice and noodles, and a reviewer even had off-menu tofu curry made. The current menu shows accessible staples (rolls €6.9-9.8, rice €6.9-9.8) and simple desserts like fried banana. Seating is tight, so bring smaller groups or reserve early if planning hot pot.
