“We found this restaurant by accident. Our mom and aunt wanted pasta, but they wanted to be somewhere quiet. My brother googled and found this place. At first we thought we were at the wrong address since we didn’t see a sign. But we peaked in and we were met by the owner who asked us to take a seat. Service was fast, the food was amazing! And talk about a great salad bar with everything you would want on a salad with house made dressings. Everyone in the family ordered something different, from a mushroom burger to spaghetti and Greek pizza. The servings were so generous two people could eat or you will have leftovers. Oh, and we were even introduced to the owners daughter. It was a nice evening and has quickly become one of our favorite places to eat.”

“I had a truly delicious meal at Umami. I ordered the fried tofu with fish sauce and the fried rice with ribeye steak. Everything was fantastic, especially the green sauce that accompanies the fried tofu. This green sauce is made from cilantro, jalapeño, and a type of fruit that adds a touch of sweetness; it is not spicy. I recommend asking for it on the side, as it creates a unique flavor when paired with the steak. This experience really highlights why the restaurant is named Umami!”

Awesome food and atmosphere to enjoy with friends at the end of the Spring semester. You must sign up and reserve online.”

“I ate an egg and sausage cheese McGriddle from here one stormy morning when the weather was just not cutting it (normally, can pretty much subsist on sunshine alone. At least 'til lunch.)
The lady who delivered the order to the window was sweet and very smiley, seemingly simple touch but really nice on an un-fun morning.
(As for the McGriddle, I may or may not order it again. I had thought it would have english muffin holding the eggy sausage goodness inside but I was wrong. It was lightly sweet pancake-like things, which were a touch rubber sole-ish along the outside edges and a tad greasy on the lips. But did I finish it? Yes. Yes I did.)”
American • $$
“The fried chicken sandwich is good (but it tasted like fish). I really liked the Boba fizzy soda. The mac and cheese tasted like Annie's boxed mac and cheese. Don't bother paying for it. You can make it at home. The caramel apple bread pudding is heavenly!! Portion sizes are good! I had leftovers.”

“The BEST tacos in town! One of Anchorage’s best kept secrets! I live at the complete opposite end of town but will drive over just to get lunch or dinner. Every bite is so good! And it’s not just the flavors - it’s the texture and how it is cooked. Very good food.”

“Took my little one in for the first time, a few issues I had was the gal that took our order was not super friendly or welcoming. She seemed upset, not sure if that is just her personality but it did not leave a good taste for an atmosphere that is meant to be kid friendly..Secondly, parents need to watch there kids. I don’t know how and if staff can enforce that since they are not employed to babysit so may not be aware but there were older kids literally rough housing and flinging each other by the arms. Bathroom smelled pretty bad because diapers are not being disposed of properly. I would recommend fresh cup not advertise that if parents need a mental break they can just go here to dump their kids and let them go off and play unsupervised and unborthered because there ad is insinuating that. I would still recommend this play place because they have good coffee, reasonable pricing, good play equipment, and we need more indoor play houses in Alaska!”

“I ordered takeout for the “back alley smash burger”, after seeing the home made buns I knew it had to be worth the $17 price tag. And boy oh boy, was it ever! This place is far from the “bearded burger joint/new age stereotype”. Their burger and chips are amazing, all homemade ingredients. I highly HIGHLY recommend you to try out Altruro Bistro, don’t let the pricing scare you away from what the menu has to offer, it’s worth every last penny!!!”

Love a place with kale on the menu 💚💚💚”

“Wonderful space for an evening out. Food is always stellar. Drinks on point. It’s hard to find good Mexican anywhere outside of the southeast in my opinion but this place KILLS it every time. It’s a go to. You should go, too. Always love the music which is upbeat and adds to the vibe. Staff is hip, friendly (and cute). Service couldn’t be better and have met the manager Monica who is just always happy and adds to the experience. When I’m feeling blue I come here and that frown turns upside down. It’s like being in a top tier Mexican resort for a few hours.”
Cafe • $$
“Everything!!! My first visit there was earlier this week with two friends. I ordered the Goat Cheese and Beet Salad. It was out-of-this-world. The encrusted Goat Cheese was extraordinary. It was warm with a delicious crispy outside and a warm soft goat cheese inside. There were 3 on the salad and I could only eat one. I brought the other 2 home, warmed them up in my toaster oven and again they were amazing even the next day. The salad was huge. I also brought half of it home. The Basil Balsamic dressing was perfect and the candied pecans were huge and amazing too. The whole salad was wonderful with the combination of the other ingredients. It came with a yummy warm homemade biscuit. I also ordered their Tomato Basil Soup and it was the best I have ever had and it is a favorite of mine and I have ordered it at many other restaurants. It too came with a biscuit. For dessert I ordered the Chocolate Thunder Cake which I took home. I have had it in small slices, warmed up, with vanilla ice cream and I still have lots of slices to go. It totally melts in your mouth. I am a dark chocolate lover and it was the best. I am going to Sis’s Cafe again tomorrow with another friend!! Silver”

“Stumbled upon Arigato by accident staying at a motel down the street while I overnight in Anchorage on my way to work for 5 weeks up in the Northwest part of the state. I was HUNGRY when I came in and ordered several dishes-edamame, spicy tofu, tempura Halibut (seasonal), and two sushi rolls. The owner who was waiting on me also surprised me with a delicious little soup and salad to start the feast. Every dish was one more delicious than the next. The edamame was piping hot with perfect amount of salt, spicy tofu 10/10, the tempura halibut had so much flavor and dipped in a little splash of soy sauce was so tasty, and the sushi rolls were fresh and flavorful and delicious. I will get a ride across town to eat here again if work lodges me at a different hotel on my next trip in October-I will absolutely be back! And yes, I ate it ALL!! This place is an absolute gem.”

“Been going to this Korean restaurant several times over the past few years whenever I'm in town. Frequented by locals, so you know it's pretty authentic.
The banchan (side dishes) are tasty and they are generous with the variety. My usual items to order are the soft tofu soup and grilled Galbi. Both are pretty tasty but recently I've found that it can taste a little too salty.”

“Amazing food and great service. We came with a large group with little notice on a Monday night and they welcomed us with open arms. I sampled most of the Italian dishes and they were large servings and really good. I choose the steak and it was also good and I would’ve given them a top review anyway, However, I had a second visit the next day in search of my lost purse and Andreas (maybe the owner himself) went beyond over and above to help me locate my purse. Like amazing effort that saved me a day of stress that would’ve cost me a nice train trip with my family. My extended family who also lives close by told me later about how much comfort and compassion they have shown my aunt who is recently lost her husband, when she comes in. Places like this don’t exist where I live. Thank you so much for being extraordinary!”

“I ordered the caribou burger medium rare with crispy Applewood smoked bacon and a small side salad. It was absolutely delicious- moist, not too greasy and flavorful. I would order it again. So now I've added caribou to my list of other burgers - elk, camel, and bison. Bon Appétit!”
Halal • $$
“Really enjoyed my experience here. I haven’t been able to find a selection like this in Alaska. I usually have to order online or have a friend send from put of state or even out of the contract. I’ve recommended to several friends in the area.”
Steak House • $$
“Good food and fast service, breakfast burrito was very filling and delicious, but these are all things you can find at any bonvoy hotel, the app never fails to impress me, especially when I need it, thanks for good service and good food.”
Bar & Grill • $$
“Looking at the previous reviews I was a little concerned but the meal, service, and atmosphere were top notch. Was able to grab a table right away and did not take long for Natasa to take our drink order. Lots of beer on tap to choose from plus many other drink options . I had the halibut and fries which were excellent and my wife really enjoyed her salmon. Not sure what they put in the cole slaw but I want the recipe . If you want a great restaurant to end your stay in Alaska this is it. If you want a cool place to hang out in Alaska and watch the floatplanes, this is also it.”
Bar • $$
“When they were under construction at one point in time, they had a sheet rock wall I think it was and asked customers to sign it. This memory popped up on my pictures from a while back when I made my mark that I was here during the construction. Thought it would be cool to add everyone else's memories to their wall as a piece of art of the people of this city.”

“Food and service was excellent!! My only gripe is the wine list which is small and uninspiring.”

Italian • $$
“Best deal in Anchorage.
Soup, Salad and Breadsticks are the best deal in Town. Remember lunch prices are much cheaper than dinner prices.
Service, Atmosphere and Food are always excellent, when and if there is a problem, never had a problem after bringing it to their attention. Manager's Know How to Manage and Provide Customer Service above and beyond. Highly Recommended .”

“1st time visitor. Went with family. One of the machines wasn’t working after using card, asked mgr & he gave us our choice of games in that area so we didn’t lose any money. Very nice guy. We had a booth but only ordered lemonade or water and the server (forgot her name, sorry) with long blonde hair was great! Made sure we were always doing ok! Too loud for me but grandkids love it!”
Brewery
“Brewerks is the kind of place you hope no one else discovers—but you can’t help telling everyone about it anyway. It’s tucked into an industrial corner of Anchorage with no frills, no fluff—just incredible beer and the kind of atmosphere that feels real. Inside, it’s welcoming in that quiet, unpolished way: barrel tables, a loft above, and Chad (the owner and brewer) probably behind the bar, pouring the beer he made himself. That kind of presence matters. You feel it in the space and in every pour. The beer is creative, clean, and thoughtful. No shortcuts. The hazy IPAs hit just right, the stouts are layered and rich without being overdone, and the rotating sours and goses are genuinely interesting—not trendy for the sake of it. You can tell he’s brewing for flavor, not followers. It’s a place where the beer speaks first, and then the people do—and both are worth listening to. If you like places where you can actually hear yourself think, where the beer is the centerpiece without needing to be flashy, and where the owner still cares enough to look you in the eye—go to Brewerks. It’s one of the best things happening in Anchorage.”

“Wonderful food, lovely staff, and great service. Haven't had such delicious fusion of Asian Filipino food since we were stationed in the Pacific. Give them a try and you will not be disappointed. The pork buns were delicious, light and fluffy, and so delicious.”

“What a delightful place my wife and I went today. We felt like we stepped through the door and into Germany again. We haven't had so delicious of coffee since leaving Germany. The fresh blueberry Belgian waffles are fantastic, as well as the pastries these German women make themselves. It was such a delightful place We discovered today, and we will make it our regular go-to place every Sunday.”
Family • $
“We found this restaurant by accident. Our mom and aunt wanted pasta, but they wanted to be somewhere quiet. My brother googled and found this place. At first we thought we were at the wrong address since we didn’t see a sign. But we peaked in and we were met by the owner who asked us to take a seat. Service was fast, the food was amazing! And talk about a great salad bar with everything you would want on a salad with house made dressings. Everyone in the family ordered something different, from a mushroom burger to spaghetti and Greek pizza. The servings were so generous two people could eat or you will have leftovers. Oh, and we were even introduced to the owners daughter. It was a nice evening and has quickly become one of our favorite places to eat.”

“It was my first time visiting last night and I love KBBQ. Their service was fast and efficient. The portions are huge compared to other kbbq places in anchorage. Even the price for the combo a that feeds 2-3 people was amazing! I would definitely come back here again! I was very pleased!”
Mexican • $$
“Wonderful space for an evening out. Food is always stellar. Drinks on point. It’s hard to find good Mexican anywhere outside of the southeast in my opinion but this place KILLS it every time. It’s a go to. You should go, too. Always love the music which is upbeat and adds to the vibe. Staff is hip, friendly (and cute). Service couldn’t be better and have met the manager Monica who is just always happy and adds to the experience. When I’m feeling blue I come here and that frown turns upside down. It’s like being in a top tier Mexican resort for a few hours.”
Pizza • $$
“Amazing food and great service. We came with a large group with little notice on a Monday night and they welcomed us with open arms. I sampled most of the Italian dishes and they were large servings and really good. I choose the steak and it was also good and I would’ve given them a top review anyway, However, I had a second visit the next day in search of my lost purse and Andreas (maybe the owner himself) went beyond over and above to help me locate my purse. Like amazing effort that saved me a day of stress that would’ve cost me a nice train trip with my family. My extended family who also lives close by told me later about how much comfort and compassion they have shown my aunt who is recently lost her husband, when she comes in. Places like this don’t exist where I live. Thank you so much for being extraordinary!”
Sandwich Shop • $
“I'm a big fan of a good cheese steak. However; the fast food setup at Charley's is good! I am a huge fan of their buffalo Philly sandwich. Love it.
Staff is always great, especially considering the small work area and the lunch crush.
It's worth a visit. Oh yeah, they have other locations off the military base in Anchorage.”

Food Court

Kebab • $
“My man got himself a smash burger and said it was wonderful. I chose the pulled pork fries. I thought I would get a messy pile. I was handed an edible wonder. A cone of steak fries topped with delicious, tender pulled pork, with perfectly tangy BBQ sauce and zesty red cabbage slaw sprinkled with chives and a drizzle of garlic sauce. It looked great, it tasted fantastic. Every bite was a triumph. Better pulled pork than I’ve had on the islands. No slimmy skin or fatty parts. Just good pork. The proportions of ingredients was perfect down to the last mouthful. Totally changed the trajectory of my day. I wished I lived closer so I could plan a visit every few weeks. Not sure if Michelin stars are awarded to dishes served at food trucks but they should be for those pulled pork fries. Wow!”

Hamburger • $
“Enjoyed what I got.. the Spenard. Asked for crispy fries and they delivered. Young-ish counter people that don't seem to understand some common kitchen/order terms. Not a huge deal. When you explain they get it. I would not recommend you rely on the QR code menu. It still had the previous week's special on it but they let me pay for my order and then told me I couldn't have it because it was Last Weeks special. Maybe they are still working the bugs out.”
“One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time ordering from a restaurant. Keep up the great work chef!”
