Yamaya Seafood is a hidden gem in Anchorage that offers an authentic Japanese izakaya experience. Despite its simple exterior, stepping inside feels like being transported to Japan. The cozy, small restaurant is run by a dedicated chef who takes pride in using high-quality ingredients, such as the white rice made fresh for each dish. The menu, displayed on the walls, features a variety of Izakaya food, including dishes like Shirashi bowl, sashimi, karaage, king crab roll, shrimp tempura udon, gyoza, roasted black cod, and pork belly. The owner, Mr. Yamaya, and his dog Nobuko create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making guests feel like they are visiting a friend's house. The chef/owner, Sam, handles everything himself, which means service may take a little longer, but the quality and authenticity of the food are well worth the wait. Reservations are recommended for larger groups, especially for more than two people. With its authentic, fresh dishes, great music, and good beer, Yamaya Seafood offers a true taste of small-town Japan.
