Top Bop - Midtown

I'm conflicted. I used to Love everything i got here and tonight I didn't even look at the menu. I just ordered what I used to get. Beef Bop bowl with teriyaki, with 2 dumplings and I gor the chicken katsu in the rice bowl as an extra treat. I guess things changed in my absence. The Beef Bop bowl doesn't seem to have Romaine or broccoli anymore, just cabbage and the tiniest sprinkling of carrot shreds. And half the volume of Rice has been replaced by what looks like Udon noodles that are SATURATED in the teriyaki.. Their motto is "Have a Rice Day! - maybe they should change that. Also noted they don't use their Logo branded bowls, they were plain white bowls.. cost cutting, I guess. - Onto the chicken katsu rice bowl. The chicken was fine, as I remembered.. but the saturated udon would have been a welcome respite in all the dry, chewy rice and the much larger chunks of cabbage. There was a barely noticeable drizzle of the teriyaki sauce on top of the chicken, which was no where enough to make any connection with the rice.. I ended up throwing out most of the rice and cabbage. Plain white rice with shards of purple cabbage - not a great combination. Will I go back? If I do, I will be changing my regular order and adjust my expectations. It's just not the Top Bop it used to be. IYKYK.
Atmosphere - they play upbeat modern music in the shop but wow - I never noticed how shabby the painting and decor was in there. Paint chipping and generally poor workmanship in the front of house. Guessing they did not have the work done professionally. I don't mean to sound elitist but Atmosphere is one of the items to be scored..
The people were nice and upbeat and the service was quick. Service got my highest score. Top Bop - i will miss you but you will live on if only in my dreams.

Vegetarian options: They seem to have dialed back on the veggies in their bowls. Expectations - adjusted.

I’ve been in Anchorage 2 weeks and eaten here 3 times now - I’m obsessed and could eat here every day! Poke Bop is my fav so far but Spicy Pork Bop is good too. And the Thai Tea is delicious.

We had a large family dinner there. Around 6 adults and 3 kids. They were very friendly and brought us our food. It's usually a pick up. Not many sit and eat inside. But it did have a lot of take out/pickup orders. Food is/was very good.

Ordered 3 top bop bowls today and the service was nice and fast. The associates were welcoming and friendly. They are very nice. They made our top bops properly by adding the right amount of spicy sauce level and made sure they only used teriyaki sauce on hers. I did ask for a take out and they did packaged our food and utensils nicely and properly unlike other places where they just throw napkins and forks inside a plastic bag. Bowls was filled with delicious seafood and veggies and the other bowl is the same but with beef. The food taste great ?? The place is clean and their decorations are exquisite. Would recommend this location ⭐️

Sat in for a quick lunch break noticed what seemed to be alot of doordashers or some delivery service. The staff was super rude to them infront of the rest of the diners inside. Food was cold, bland and overpriced.

Getting extremely tired of how hit or miss this restaurant is. Asked to have an egg added. What I got was a ton of egg noodles on top of the egg I asked for. I hate egg noodles.

We have been coming to top bop for a long time but felt I had to write this review because I can’t believe what I just received. We always get the Poke bowl and the one I just ordered was literally rice, vegetables and 5 small cubes of Poke! At this point they should just call it a rice bowl. The portions have been getting smaller over the years but this is ridiculous.For managment: It is better to charge a little bit more than to screw your customers over by giving them a bowl of rice and veggies and calling it a poke bowl.

I heard the young lady up front using the microwaving before she called me up to pick up. Not a good 1st impression. Not a lot of teriyaki sauce or noodles, the beef was very dry and bland maybe from the microwave or too long in the warmer, to be fair I came to eat around 3pm I went up and had to order and pay for more noodles. But wonderful staff with great customer service. Very hard to find great service anywhere.

Of the three of them, this location is my favorite. There are two young ladies who have worked years there.(They deserve top pay there for their work ethic!) They memorized my order and give great customer service!!.

Vegetarian options: I make mine vegetarian. Tofu and rice only level 5. I am hooked!

Parking: It is in a strip mall so plenty of parking!

I believe these young girls deserve a raise. I love this branch and the atmosphere. Anytime I come there, I am treated with the utmost respect. I've seen them treat everyone with the utmost respect as well. They're phenomenal. They keep coming out with more and more. Koreans like flavor food, and I'm proud of this company. Love it 10-10
