Book a table and reimagine an even better world with us.

Prior to COVID-19, Anh and Chi only accepted walk-in guests. At the peak of the pandemic, there had to be a shift to avoid lines outside the door, to keep our team and patrons safe, and to perhaps, find a way to help many marginalized communities throughout our city. 

In December of 2020, Anh and Chi launched Reservation by Donation, the very first program of its kind in Vancouver. Through Reservation by Donation, guests have an option to reserve a table by donating $10 per person to a charity of their choice. Each quarter, the Anh and Chi team shortlists 3-4 community-nominated charities to support BIPOC communities, young people living with mental illness, homelessness, drug use, or food scarcity; seniors living with dignity; and/or refugees and immigrants seeking food and shelter. 

Every dollar you donate goes directly to the charity of your choice because we cover all the administrative, transaction and staffing costs that are required to facilitate this program. 

To reserve a table, please book online and choose a date, time, and donate $10 per person to one or more of the shortlisted charities. Please note there are NO refunds. Only a small portion of our seating is available for reservations, the rest is reserved for our walk-in dining guests. 

Reservations are optional, walk-in guests are welcomed and encouraged. Same day reservations cannot be accommodated.

Auto gratuity of 20% for parties of 6 or more and parties of 8 or more will be subject to one bill.

CURRENT CHARITIES

  • Covenant House Vancouver supports youth aged 16 to 24 who are homeless, at-risk, or exploited by meeting them where they are. They offer programs and services ranging from a hot meal and a shower to health care, mental health services and substance use counselling. They also assist with individualised goal setting and action plans, help with family reunification, education and employment.

  • Spectrum Society’s mission is to support people with disabilities to experience full citizenship and genuine belonging in community. We are committed to continuous learning and improvement through research into leadership and best practice. As a service providing agency, our focus is on strengthening the capacity of individuals and their personal networks, augmenting rather than replacing natural supports.

  • Vancouver Firefighter Charities is proudly operated by Vancouver firefighters who volunteer their time to support our own community based programs. One of our largest programs, Snacks For Kids, currently provides nutritional support to over 6500 food insecure youth in over 65 schools in Vancouver.

Anh and Chi continues its popular Reservation by Donation program, where guests can skip the lines by reserving a table with a donation of their choice. To date, Anh and Chi’s community of patrons and staff have raised more than $300,000.

Bookings can be made here. 
A NOTE FROM THE ACCOUNTANT:

Anh and Chi recognizes the reservation fees when it collects the funds and reports it on the T2 corporation tax return. The restaurant then donates the received amounts from the reservation fee to your selected charities in full. Only when the donation is made out to the charity is the donation expense claimed. As all of the monies are donated to charity, this arrangement results in no financial gain for the company, net zero. This arrangement is very similar to retailers selling a product in which the monies from the sale of the product are donated to a charity. Donation receipts are issued by the registered charities in which the donations are made out to. Therefore our customers are not given donation receipts as the registered charities can only issue these receipts to the donor that they receive the funds directly from. You can choose to donate to one of the select charities and show proof of donation to book a table with Anh and Chi.
