“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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! 🙂“

“Ryuu Bowl is AMAZING! The Roll My Way platter is a steal. 7 rolls for $90! Just don’t recommend if you’re in a hurry because while they are phenomenal - they are slooooowwwwww! Perfection takes time! 10/10 would recommend 💗“

“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!!!“

“There are many choices in the menu!“

“My first tiMe trying sushi. Very good would highly recommend.“

“The server kind & the food was Great 👍🏽“

“The food was good and the sushi tasted fresh, but the experience wasn’t perfect. We had to wait quite a while before being seated, even though the place didn’t look overly busy. The menu also felt a bit limited — not as many options as I expected.

Overall, the dishes we did get were tasty and the service was friendly once we were seated, but there’s definitely room for improvement. Solid place, just not a full five-star visit this time.“

“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!!!!“

“Genuinely like being in Japan! This restaurant and owner were such a pleasant surprise. One of the best meals I had in Alaska! Try the “idiot fish” Be prepared for a long wait for your order to get taken and then again to get served, it’s just a one man show and he does order by order all by himself. Get his attention and order some sake or a beer whilst you wait and be patient and kind to him because it’s SO worth it!“

“I dont understand what all these other reviews are talking about with the automatically added gratuity. I just paid my bill and there was no auto gratuity. Service was good and the food was delicious! This was the first time I had sashimi, and it was fantastic! The sushi chef did great!“

“Mongolian beef was tender and not too sweet. Definitely be back for more??“

“Overall great, only one person working/cooking when arrived, but went in around 3.30-4pm. Another person showed up around 5pm. The gyoza was fresh tasted very good. Sushi had no complaints, salmon,tuna and yellowtail tasted as it should. Good flavor, and was spicy. Wasabi was very good, I believe to be more a more closer to plant Wasabi. Overall was very good, I'd highly recommend giving it a shot. Tons of different fish rolls to try!“
