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.”

“The brick and mortar is close to my place of work, so I decided to give y’all a try. Really glad I did. I went with the breakfast tacos with tofu as the protein. I don’t exactly know how you prepare the tofu but it’s definitely some of the best in town! My only constructive criticism would be that that was a lot of food on such a tiny plate. I will be back.”

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 😞”

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.”

“It’s good. Brought my taste buds joy after a very stinky Monday. I got a roll & appetizer delivered through their app, but it appears to kind of be an extension of DoorDash. It took about an hour (I did order during dinner rush on a Monday night) I got a the mushroom app and it’s really good. Everything is well cooked & the sushi (American roll) is well cut. Very happy and look forward to visiting the actual restaurant. 🫶🏻”

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!”

“Came here for the first time. It was amazing. Got 2lbs of crawfish. 1lb of snow crab and then added sausage, corn, potatoes. Came out to only $80 with drinks as well. The entire bowl was filled when it came out. We ate till we were super full and still took half a bag home. Cajun sauce with 1x spicy level. 10/10 recommend. Waited little bit for order to be taken on a slow day but the food came out literally minutes after getting order taken so it didn’t make a difference. They serve the food very quickly. Everyone was super nice there and helpful.”

“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:)”

My only critique is they didn't have sweet tea, im from Texas and we love our sweet tea. But not a deal breaker the food more than satisfied me enough to pay it no regard. Over all excellent!”

“Yak and Yeti caught our eye, and we’re glad we stopped by. The menu is fairly limited, and you order at the counter before taking a seat, but the food more than makes up for the simple setup. They mainly offer rice bowls and curry soups, with the option to choose up to three curries in one bowl, which is perfect if multiple dishes catch your attention.
The portions are extremely generous — the curry was practically overflowing from the bowl. It looked a little untidy when served, but you definitely feel like you’re getting your money’s worth. Everything we tried was good, especially the black dal, which stood out as the highlight of the meal.
The owners seemed busy and hardworking, giving the place a genuine local-business feel that makes you happy to support them. It’s a great spot if you’re looking for a simple, comforting meal after a long day or after too many heavy restaurant meals during a trip. Definitely worth a visit — you likely won’t be disappointed.”

I tried the gumbo today, and I didn’t know what to expect- but I usually have to add salt to stuff…. But the seasonings… OUT OF THIS WORLD! And the cornbread…OMG…. I also got a tuna melt too… there were the perfect amount of veggies and it wasn’t just a boring tuna sandwich!! everything is so good. I had to say thanks!”

“Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Atmosphere: 10/10 The sushi rolls were huge, raw fish wasn’t smelly, entrees were big including the kids plate (bento style). I found the prices very fair especially comparing them to Basil Ginger in the valley. We didn’t order a single roll over $20 and our favorite cooked one (spider) was only $15. The restaurant was pretty packed yet our food came out surprisingly fast for how many people were dining in. The waitress was on FIRE. Running around making sure everyone was good. She also gave us dessert at the end for free. Maybe it’s a thing but we were highly flattered and appreciative! It was great to eat at a clean establishment that also checked allll the other boxes too. My kids and I got up to leave and both noted “this place deserves a shining review!”. Highly recommend 🙂”

“This was an incredible dining experience. We ordered hot Chai, with Palak Paneer and Garlic Naan bread. I’m a typical American that likes safe foods and rarely steps out of comfort zones. I was very pleased with my meal and will CERTAINLY be eating here again. The atmosphere was very calming and romantic. This is a father and son ran restaurant. If you want a wholesome experience with an equally satisfying and delicious meal, eat here without hesitation.”

“I’m in town for less than 24 hours and was looking for a good sushi lunch. I’m glad I chose Arigato. I was greeted immediately on entering, provided a seat at a booth, and given a hot tea I didn’t even know I wanted much less requested.
I ordered some nigiri and then was brought a salad and miso soup—I didn’t request or expect either of them, they simply were provided—all quite tasty.
The nigiri I ordered was delicious. The rice was perfect as was the fish.
You will not be disappointed with your experience at Arigato.”

Champagne was flowing and paired perfectly with everything. Loved the vibe too chill, and stylish. Staff were super friendly and helpful with recommendations (especially for someone who just likes to eat oysters but has no idea what to pair with them 😄). And the menu had other tasty treats too not just oysters! Everything we tried was spot-on. Definitely coming back soon. If you’re into oysters, bubbles, or just a good time with great food and drinks, check this place out! 🦪🥂”

“Best sushi in downtown anchorage and my favorite sushi restaurant in town hands down! The service is super warm and welcoming. We did not wait long for our food to come out and the owner checks in on how we are enjoying the food. The fish and uni seems to always be fresh and delicious. My favorite is the hamachi roll. The owner said they tweaked their ramen recipe and now it is my favorite ramen in town and you can get it late at night on the weekends, which I love. 10/10 experience!!!”
Pizza • $$
“Phenomenal customer service! We showed up there with our
granddaughter for a carry out order and the wait staff was very attentive. We took her to an area of the pizzeria that was closed at the time so we wouldn't disturb other diners and they opened it up for us...we did not ask for this. The pizza and calzone we very good as well.”
Korean • $$
“I haven't had Korean food too many times mostly Japanese or Hawaiian food where Korean fishes are incorporated. Definitely only had sides like this once or twice before in Hawaii and Colorado.. anyways this stuff slapped. Genuinely had some good food here.
The potatoes and this fish cake were fire. The kalbi was s little more tender then I have had at other places around town but paired with the rice was genuinely good. Also this was just the perfect amount of food. I want to go back asap and try a bunch of other food here which is extremely rare. Makes me want to go back and down rate alot of other restaunts since I can't rate the deliciousness of the food any higher then a 5. Also tried Korean beer and it was really good. Way better then our beer.”
Beer Bar • $$
“Food was served rather quickly and relatively well seasoned. However, the chowder fries had chunks of salt here and there which made the dish less enjoyable. Would suggest getting the crab nuggets over the crabby melt as its essentially the same thing but the crab nuggets had a better batter to meat ratio.
the halibut taco was tasty and had a good amount of meat in it.”

“Where Friends Meet is the truth. Dottie and Jenifer are great, They made us feel like locals and we had a blast. The chowder on Friday is to die for and Saturday Hambuger and Hot dogs hit the spot.”

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 💚💚💚”

Mexican • $$
“We were warmly greeted during their busy dinner time. We didn't have a reservation, but they set up comfortable tables in their bar area for us. Their calamari frita appetizer was the best we ever had. The calamari was tender not chewy, cut in strips not rings, and was dipped in a tasty, lightly seasoned breading. We devoured our main courses of shrimp and meat tacos. Their side of rice and beans was large enough for 2 diners to share one order. They have a full bar area but it was cozy rather than noisy.”

But, the shining star here is the service. I was a bit "travel weary" and still had a long wait until transport home. I felt welcome as soon as I sat down. I never felt rushed. Such a calm atmosphere that was much appreciated after a long travel day. Whether you're setting out for adventure or returning from afar, check out 49th State Brewing-Ted Stevens.”

“I love Beartooth theater pub. We spend at least once per month here with the kids on Saturday. A meal while watching our favorites is incredible! However- I'm curious why, when showing a PG movie, Beartooth shows trailers for R-rated films? I Would love to see this changed, and my kids would love to see this changed.”

“I’m a traveller from Australia and we don’t have any places like these any more due to legislation re smoking etc.
I specifically came here to have a smoke in comfort, indoors and meet some of the locals who were friendly and engaging.
Loved this place. Life’s good”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

Also, the baked Alaska cone is fantastic- your choice of ice cream in a waffle cone with a toasted marshmallow fluff swirl on top. There are a few vegan and gluten free options available.”

So good, that we went back again the next night, and it would had been a 3d, but we got back to town too late on Sunday. It's worth saying again, Tent City Taphouse is amazing, with amazingly dishes!!! Thank you Svet, you were the best host of all the 6 restaurants we visited. We'll be back!!!”

Ice Cream Shop
“We recently attended paint night at this adorable ice cream shop, and it was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and beautifully decorated they really went all out to make it feel special. The balloon display and themed setup made it perfect for photos and added such a fun, festive touch. The paint night itself was fantastic. The instructions were easy to follow, making it enjoyable for both kids and adults. It was so much fun creating our own artwork while enjoying delicious ice cream. The staff was friendly, patient, and encouraging, making everyone feel comfortable and creative. And of course, the food was incredible flavorful, and the perfect treat while painting! 🍦 If you’re looking for a fun family activity, girls’ night out, or a creative date idea, I highly recommend their paint night. We’ll definitely be back! 💕”

“I am pleasantly surprised about Goldie's. I have tried so many different coffee shops. They tend to make coffee too sweet or taste too bitter. No in between taste. And I always have miscommunication with them because I'm deaf. When I came to Goldie's, I was surprised to see that the two sweet ladies at Goldie's knew how to sign. Finally! I was able to have clear communication! And their coffee tastes really good! Not too sweet, not too bitter. Just right. I will be going to Goldie's for my regular coffee fix! 6 stars out of 5!”

“This is so underrated if given 4 stars. Sebastian was an amazing server. The food is clearly well thought out and prepared. Kudos should go to the chef who did the menu and then the cooks who keep up the quality of the food to the highest standard. Amazingly well done, I hope this place stays up to this high level of quality. Hope I get the opportunity to come back to Alaska and this gem in Anchorage.”

Brewery
“Stopped into the new brewery on a Saturday. Nice aposphere in the seating area, with super nice staff and an open view of the brewery area. A little disappointing they only had 4 beers on tap (1 Golden, 1 Smash IPA, 1 fruited tart, and 1 Baltic porter) but they just opened up so will let that slide. The Smash was simple but highlighted the Citra hops nicely with good head retention. The fruited sour was refreshing with pretty good Blueberry and lemon flavor, good balance of tartness with fruit flavor and sweetness. The golden ale was not my favorite but was simple with a malty backbone but I didn't like the mouth feel or overall flavor. I would like to try more beers to determine my full impression of them, but everyone has to start somewere and excited to see this new brewery grow and find their niche in the beer world! 3.5/5 stars”
Wine Bar • $$$
“Such a great spot! This oyster and champagne bar is seriously awesome. The oysters were super fresh and delicious, you can really taste the quality. Champagne was flowing and paired perfectly with everything. Loved the vibe too chill, and stylish. Staff were super friendly and helpful with recommendations (especially for someone who just likes to eat oysters but has no idea what to pair with them 😄). And the menu had other tasty treats too not just oysters! Everything we tried was spot-on. Definitely coming back soon. If you’re into oysters, bubbles, or just a good time with great food and drinks, check this place out! 🦪🥂”

“Phenomenal customer service! We showed up there with our
granddaughter for a carry out order and the wait staff was very attentive. We took her to an area of the pizzeria that was closed at the time so we wouldn't disturb other diners and they opened it up for us...we did not ask for this. The pizza and calzone we very good as well.”
Indian • $$
“10/10 Indian food is actually SPICY I struggle so hard to find real spicy food in Anchorage so this is a blessing from god to find in a city of bland food, thank you Pho & Indian!”
“Came here for the first time. It was amazing. Got 2lbs of crawfish. 1lb of snow crab and then added sausage, corn, potatoes. Came out to only $80 with drinks as well. The entire bowl was filled when it came out. We ate till we were super full and still took half a bag home. Cajun sauce with 1x spicy level. 10/10 recommend. Waited little bit for order to be taken on a slow day but the food came out literally minutes after getting order taken so it didn’t make a difference. They serve the food very quickly. Everyone was super nice there and helpful.”
