Only been here 2 times and I must say... NEVER AGAIN!
The food selection is small and nothing special.
Overlooking the dated decor dirty stained chairs/ benches and dim lighting, that's not what puts me off.
This place is a walking Helth Code Violation!!!!
I'm surprised they haven't been shut down and am shocked that a Heath inspector hasn't done it yet.
Black mold is Everywhere!! you literally can't find a single wall that doesn't have very thick visible Black mold all over it!! The ceiling is completely filthy all the air vents are caked with dust witch falls off and floats around the air every time the air system kicks on. The grill area and kitchen area are covered in old grease and dust and are just seconds away from a full on kitchen fire!! There is no ventilation in the building and with all the food steamers going to keep the food hot it causes a hot condensation that accumulats everywhere witch only ads to the multiple problems. There is some kind of fruit fly problem in there building because you can see lil flying bug everywhere wouldn't be surprised if there is also a rodent problem but I luckily didn't see any.
Overall this place should not be aloud to operate! I will definitely be calling a health inspector in hopes to get this place shut down till a time that it can be made safe for humans to eat there!

We have been going to this restaurant about 6 times a year for decades. The food has always been delicious and flavorful. The last few times I have noticed the food in the buffet has not been hot. Hot food in a buffet should be kept at about 140 degrees to keep it safe. I would be very much surprised if it was even 100 degrees. I had the fried chicken, some beef, fried rice, sweet and sour pork and while everything tasted good nothing was even close to hot from the buffet. When it happened the first time I thought maybe it was just a bad day. When it happens twice in a row it’s time to say good bye. Sorry we won’t be going any more because we have had a lot of delicious food and good memories, but I just can’t play rush and roulette with food safety.

So I was eating and had grease from the fan above us drip right on me. Grossed me out. I asked for a manager but was told no one can help. Cause there was no manager. 8 was on my 6th or 7th bite when this happened. I was so grossed out that I didn't want to touch the rest of my food and she still made me pay full price. As I was walking out the same lady just charged a lady 109.00. for 2 adults and two kids. And to me that doesn't sound right.

The ONLY reason they get 4 stars is because their actual buffet was just ok, this time, and they didn't have the tempura vegetables! It made me so sad. Anyway, we've been going to Ding How since they opened this location decades ago, and fell in love with the Mongolian grill offerings. In fact, since we moved to AZ in 2005 we make it a point to visit every time we're in Anchorage visiting family. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. We'll still keep coming back, and please have tempura vegetables again. ?

Racist against Native Americans and handicap individuals. When the cashier stole my money I confronted them and she called me a "Drunk Native". Last time they were making fun of a handicap! Nope!
Wow. Definitely a let down. Me and my boyfriend are new to Anchorage and this was our first time coming here. We didn’t realize that one side of the buffet was food you had to bring up to be cooked, so we didn’t eat the noodles or the couple pieces of beef because it was still raw and cold. and got charged extra for “ wasting “ food. Even though we ate everything else we got from the side of the buffet where everything was already cooked. The service was average and overall just not a good first impression. Never been to a buffet restaurant where they charge you for getting too much food, we will never be back.
