Restaurants by Cuisine
“One of my favorite restaurants! Great food and hospitality! True comfort food without being terrible for you. I always leave happier than when I go there.”
“Our server Jackie was most knowledgeable about the food and drink offerings. She was friendly and cooperative. The entire dining experience was very satisfying. The restaurant is very noisy.”
“Professional and courteous staff with amazing food. The bar has knowledgeable bartenders with an excellent cocktail menu and an awesome selection of wine, liquor and draft beer. The pork chop is delicious and the bangers are bangin’ 💯 Definitely worth the money spent and worth the wait if they are busy👊🏼”

“Nina, the owner was kind enough to set up a special tea party for me and my out of town guest. Her shop has a large selection of loose leaf teas and it was busy in there but she was patient and helped us find something we liked, even offering us a sample of their house tea. The tea sandwiches were flavorful and delicate. The doughnuts were so good!!! There’s so much to see in this little shop and plenty of delicious treats. I will be back!”

“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.”

“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!”
“Ginger is a great spot, and the bar side has an especially hip atmosphere with great lighting and comfortable booth seating. This time I ordered one of my favorites - the tofu and quinoa salad with extra dressing on the side, because that dressing is the bomb. It's the perfect meal. My partner got the lettuce wraps, which also come with a delicious sauce. He ordered a vodka with their scratch ginger ale while I had a nice pinot noir. Great service, ambience and excellent food. Ginger always delivers.”
“Terrible service, brought friends from outside of state and it was embarrassing after telling them what a "great" place. Halibut was over cooked and too much batter. The waitress made a RUDE remark about a server who dropped a plate of food. We were basically ignored. It wasn't even busy, mid-afternoon. SORRY, I still have gift cards to spend because I don't really want to go back. disappointed 😞”
“The culinary arts students at UAA have a restaurant where they put their learned knowledge to the test in a restaurant setting called Lucy's.
It was a delicious 3-course lunch with a salad, entree, and a dessert buffet. You get to give feedback to the students afterwards so they can improve.
Awesome food and atmosphere to enjoy with friends at the end of the Spring semester. You must sign up and reserve online.”
“We luckily got a table with a beautiful view which helped the experience. Our waiter was very efficient and also so pleasant. Coconut crusted shrimp and the marmalade were wonderful as was the Halibut cheek dish. They were able to substitute the side that came with it. We were too full for dessert but bet they were great too.”
“great atmosphere and friendly service, food is always delicious.”

“Hello! Most of the time I would put this coffee shack as a highly recommended place. However, today at 1:25pm Sunday Aug. 1, 2021, it was not. The girls working at the shack were very gloomy and disorganized and got our orders wrong. They both seemed like they were totally spaced out. It is such a shame because every other time we have come here, they have been terrific. I love the coffee and frappes here. Just today, it was bad. Please don’t give up on coming here. Hopefully, there will be some friendlier and more helpful baristas next time.”
“I normally don't like fast food places because they don't pay well the employees and thus they hire people that have no qualifications or goodwill to work, but this specific mc Donalds price me something different. The employees seemed to like it there and the product they have me was what would be expected. It was very good”
“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!!!”
“I’ve been craving a bento box for a couple weeks now did some research of different restaurants in Anchorage and found this place. I went in to check it out and look at their menu. First off one of the cleanest places I’ve seen, very nice and helpful staff especially with placing a to go order. Omg the portion sizes for a Mongolian beef bento box was enough to feed two people and reasonably priced. Definitely my go to bento box place.”

“Outstanding! It’s been 8 long years since I’ve had a ham/cheese croissant made in the traditional French way and it was a delight to discover this wonderful bakery and the aforementioned croissant. Enjoyed some delicious danishes before returning a second time for some baguettes to accompany leftover Christmas dinner! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”
“Everyone was so friendly and the service was very good! Our coffee cups and water cups were filled constantly, and the food came out very quickly, even with a smaller cooking staff from what I saw, I applaud their hard work! The food was decently priced. Do keep in mind that they only accept cash or check, but they have an ATM on-site.”
“Very clean restaurant and great service. I ordered the burger and brew salad and it was the tastiest, fresh salad I had in a long time. It tasted home made and I will be back for more. I also tried the blueberry lager and it was delicious and compliments the salad perfectly!”

“Birch & Alder where have you been my whole life?! Tucked away roadside coffee shop, the burrata sandwich on focaccia is nothing short of a culinary success. The creamy burrata, crispy prosciutto (wow) perfect! Layers of fresh brightness, but the zhoug sauce (double wow)! When I say it’s a 10 out of 10, I really mean it’s an 11 an absolute must try for anyone chasing the ultimate sandwich experience. Nothing but smiles:)”
“Found this place because it was close to our hotel and what a find! Fresh baked scones are masterful! Coffee excellent. Reindeer breakfast burritos great. A lighter sausage than pork, well spiced, harissa on the side.
Service was friendly and atmosphere fun. Highly recommend!!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fresh Cup Playhouse is such a wonderful place for families! The play area is adorable and so thoughtfully set up for kids, and the café side makes it a perfect spot for parents to relax too. You can really tell how much care and love has gone into creating this space—it’s such a gem for the community!”
“Fast service,an excellent server and the atmosphere was so inviting. I give this restaurant a 10 plus!!”
“Fresh, delicious food, I ate every bite! Open late into the evening as well.”
Cheap Eats
“Food was absolutely delicious. The person at the counter recommended the best dishes there according to our tastes, and we really loved them. The potato appetizer was awesome ! We also had the Mongolian beef and a spicy pork noodle which were also equally good and had nice portion sizes. Highly recommend this place.”
“Such a great quality of Pizza, it tastes so good. We always get the 18in house special it’s so large it barely fits into the fridge. Its leas then $27 and I think it’s worth it. We like to stop and eat inside when we have the time. But also when we call to pick it up it takes just 20 mins which is perfect by the time we leave to go there it’s always just getting done. The service is always great here they are always so kind and in a good mood.”
“I actually liked eating this restaurant cause not only I watch the anime Naruto, I also liked their Naruto ramen there. They also have Japanese movie posters inside the restaurant which makes it look nice, and they also have manga to read there not just Naruto. I would recommend eating there if you’re at least a food lover for ramen! 🙂”
“Incredible beer, awesome venue, dog friendly, and they also have Familia! Absolutely everything about this place is legendary. Thank you for giving the locals, like us, and those that travel in a solid and worthwhile experience!”
“I’m not a fan of sushi but ReHaru is where my granddaughter wanted to go for her birthday lunch. The atmosphere was delightful and the food was excellent! Our server was full of personality and provided excellent service which earned him a very generous tip (60%). I highly recommend this restaurant as one of the best in Anchorage!”
“The Lady was nice and the foods were very good, which you could pack up food and the place was so cozy with music and when you look outside u could see the mountains while eating.”

“First time visiting Mandala in Anchorage, Alaska. Food and service were impeccable. We ordered the Buttered Chicken and the Garlic Naan, not a single grain of rice or drop of sauce was left! We will definitely be visiting again, soon!”
“Food and beer flights were delicious. View wasn't "alaska" but it gets the job done. The service was weird. We couldn't tell who our waitress was as multiple people kept coming to check on us and take our order or collect out bill. Very weird. It was overwhelming”
“Terrible service, brought friends from outside of state and it was embarrassing after telling them what a "great" place. Halibut was over cooked and too much batter.

“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.”
“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.”
“So happy to have found this place. We got spicy squid/pork, bibimbap, and a scallion/seafood pancake. The seafood is so fresh, perfect spice level. Will be back.”
“Superlative food, wonderful service, wide-ranging menu. Two to-go experiences, one dine-in date night and this is now one of our most favorite restaurants in Anchorage.”
“I went for a late lunch. They have amazing food and a cool vibe.”
“There is nothing to complain about, fantastic fish and stews. The seafood pancake was flavorful and great for sharing. My favorite was the grilled mackerel that was deliciously oily and Salty.”
“These are some of the best beers I have had in Anchorage. The Variety and skill in these beers is absolutely Amazing! And they owners are just the sweetest awesomest people; I may only make it there every so often but Cindy remembers me every time :)”
“the food was awesome, this place seemed to stay busy the whole time we were there. we had a California roll and a hot pot. They were both very good. The service was very good too, fast and attentive. Im sure this place will be visited agian on our next trip.”
“As close as you can get to Japan. One-man show serving authentic and absolutely delicious Japanese food. We had sashimi, karaage, king crab roll, and shrimp tempura udon. All wonderful. Pace is very leisurely. Chef/owner is charming.”
“We luckily got a table with a beautiful view which helped the experience. Our waiter was very efficient and also so pleasant.

“Just had take out from the Club. The smoked rib eye is AMAZING! The chicken breast was also excellent. Portions were very generous. This is a two meal deal. Looking forward to leftovers tomorrow! Yay, Chef John! You rock! 😘”
“Food poisoned at the Boniface Taco King March 10th, 2025. I think the open sauces haven't been changed in a while, or the shrimp was bad in my burrito. I threw up multiple times throughout the night into the next morning. Laid in bed all day March 11th I haven't eaten in 24hrs. It's now March 12th, and I'm still on fluids only. This is the first time this has happened to me at one of your locations. I've eaten at other Taco King's and your food is really good, but this past experience was horrible.”
“Nice place, very clean and fast service. I had 2 appetizers for dinner - the crab rangoon and the little crab nuggets. Then I had the berry crisp a la mode - delicious!”
“my husband and i travel a lot and dine at various wonderful eateries; without hesitation, Tequila 61• is in our top choices now! the oysters were fabulous, and the Alaskan crab legs were delectable!! our server, Alexandra was a sheer delight, meticulous in every way. it was absolutely worth every dollar spent!!”
“Great food great service it is a must even when you have to wait for a table”
“Lovely space! I play music on Tuesday nights from 6-8 and we offer a family friendly lounge experience!”
“The papaya salad was incredible. My mouth is still watering. As were the fresh rolls and beef pho.
I ordered takeout and asked to sit at a table for a moment to eat a few bites, and ended up eating most of my meal because it was so delicious. The owners and staff were so friendly, gracious, and accommodating.”
“Great restaurant and even better since being taken over by new owners. Classic dishes like Vegan High Protein Wrap as delicious as ever, delicious soups of the day, and nice big portions. Everything tastes so nutritious and satisfying, fresh ingredients and great flavor. Really nice staff as well. Their smoothies are excellent. Great spot with food that makes you feel good. Love a place with kale on the menu 💚💚💚”
“Where have I been hiding since December 15th, 2023?! I must have been hiding under a rock. You mean to tell me it took me 370 days to explore this restaurant?! Yummy!!!”
“The old fashioneds are the best! Food is amazing! Very friendly staff!”
“Magnetic North was perhaps our favorite Alaska brewery. Everything about Magnetic North – the food, beer, and service – is wonderful.”
“It was awesome!!! The service was great even there was quite a bit of people. Our food came out fantastic! The Salmon Kama is a must have!!!!”
“had a great Valentines lunch with the wifey, food was great and Cassidy was a great server!”
“I’ve been loving the Blueberry Mary Kombucha! I need to try more flavors but this one has been an awesome treat.”
“Had lunch on Sunday. The meal was delicious. From the appetizers to the tika misala, chicken curry and the garlic naan. Excellent service as well! Can’t wait to return!”
“They put us in the very back of the restaurant where no other customers were seated. So getting the waiters attention was a little difficult. There was also a manager in the back holding court with other employees and it made us a little uncomfortable hearing What employees had to say about other employees and managers. After we paid our bill I spoke to the manager upfront and explain the situation. She was very apologetic. Explained what was going on and then offered me a $30 gift card to come back from the valley into Anchorage to give Olive Garden another chance. I was impressed with her customer service her honesty and her willingness to make it right. Olive Garden is still one of my favourite places to eat.”
“Took my daughter here tonight for her 4th birthday. Our waitress, Cher, was AMAZINGGGGGG!!!! Food was good and service was fast but we’ll be coming back because CHER WAS AMAZING!!!!!”

“The best Indian food in Anchorage hands down! We had the chicken samosa, keema naan, butter chicken, and the chicken bunha, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! The service and the servers are great as well. Overall a fantastic experience, we will definitely be coming back again.”
“I didn’t take a picture but the grilled salmon dinner with broccoli and onion rings was delicious. Looked great, arrived hot. My husband ordered the grilled halibut with rice and asparagus. Really good! Best fish I’ve had in Alaska in 3 years.”
“Food was great. large enough portion that 2 of our party had leftovers. Tried 5 types of sushi in our group and all were delicious. One of us had the tempura halibut, was surprised to find it here. The bowl of beef noodles soup was huge! And the 9yr old who got it was very upset the next day when her dad took her leftover soup to work for lunch! All in all, will come back many more times.
Wheelchair accessibility: There are not a lot of wheelchair options, but the ramp is good and the employees were happy to seat us.”

“my wife and I attended tonight's performance of the great Alaskan show. great fun.”
“Food and service was excellent!! My only gripe is the wine list which is small and uninspiring.”
“My husband is diabetic so we decided in order to take some stress off of menu planning we would order special meals to be delivered every week. Chef Alex is amazing! Everything is so delicious and downright special. I’m happy to cook dinner knowing everything is prepared. I just have to cook it per the simple instructions. Now, have things gone perfectly according to plan ever week with the deliveries? No but who cares when the food is so amazing. Chef Alex takes good care of us and hasn’t let us down with his brilliant menus.”
“Myrna's is such a fun and safe space for everyone who embraces love and kindness - a home away from home. The door staff and security are incredible at keeping chaos out, the bartenders will make you a strong drink while getting to know you, and I've scarcely seen a more talented drag show. The people running the show are dedicated to fiercely protecting their clients and performers, and all of that is just part of what makes Myrna's an incredible bar and show venue. Go see for yourself! 🏳️🌈”
“You need to try the Gyro! It’s not like any you’ve had before. Always delicious”
“Amazing fast, fresh and fairly priced. Easily the best sushi in town, worth the drive to south Anchorage. ***Don’t forget to order the chicken wings~ my favorite!”
“There were 7 of us in our group for breakfast. Making a reservation online was quick and easy. Once there, we were greeted by friendly and knowledgeable staff. The service and hosting staff were fantastic! The food was excellent and well presented. Overall, as visitors to Skagway, our experience was so enjoyable.”
“Friendly staff and amazing food! Also my favorite pizza in Anchorage! And don’t get me started on the Ekmek…!!!!!”
“We stayed here after a cruise and had a wonderful stay. Place is clean, room was perfect, ate at the restaurant…food delicious! It was a perfect place to stay outside of town and close to the airport. Thank you so much”
“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.”
“The best spicy sisig ! whoever cooked my food thank you so much for the delicious meal👍🏾”
“Went their yesterday and I highly recommend this place , very friendly and clean the Poutine was to die for and the Hibachi Rice Chichen Bowl was so good can't wait to go back yum !”
“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 .”
“Loved the experience. First time there with my family. From the time we arrived during the serving and even our meal the whole experience was awesome. Thanks for an amazing time. Definitely will come again 🥰🥰🥰.”
“Kevin was our server and he was the best and made our experience unforgettable. If we ever return to AK, we will come back. Great food and better service than anywhere. Highly recommend, thank you Kevin ?”
“The nicest Sicily's in town for atmosphere!
My pizza was ready early (on line order placed the day before for pick up), and nice, warm, and tasty!”

“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!”
“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.”

“This was our first time to Simon's. It did have great views. When we first sat down our waitress told us they were short staffed so entrees were running 30 minutes plus. That was fine. We ordered both entree and appetizers together. I had a Caesar salad to start which had more of a vinaigrette dressing on it and it was a little too much. I had haddock pan seared with green beans and couscous. It was good but a little dry. Then I had a cherry pie with vanilla ice cream and caramel. It was delicious! Overall it was a nice experience. I would recommend it!”
“Outstanding! It’s been 8 long years since I’ve had a ham/cheese croissant made in the traditional French way and it was a delight to discover this wonderful bakery and the aforementioned croissant.
