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.”

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 drinks we ordered from the bar were also very good, and they were delivered by the highlight of the experience, Umami BBQ's own drink service robot! This robot drops off your drinks while sporting fun music, and it will even sing you happy birthday! Overall, it makes the whole experience more fun and novel.
Would recommend to anyone looking for an interesting dinner experience in east Anchorage!”

“Terrible service, brought friends from outside of state and it was embarrassing after telling them what a "great" place. Halibut was over cooked and too much batter. 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.”

“I normally don't like fast food places because they don't pay well the employees and thus they hire people that have no qualifications or goodwill to work, but this specific mc Donalds price me something different.

“I ate an egg and sausage cheese McGriddle from here one stormy morning when the weather was just not cutting it (normally, can pretty much subsist on sunshine alone. At least 'til lunch.)
The lady who delivered the order to the window was sweet and very smiley, seemingly simple touch but really nice on an un-fun morning.
(As for the McGriddle, I may or may not order it again. I had thought it would have english muffin holding the eggy sausage goodness inside but I was wrong. It was lightly sweet pancake-like things, which were a touch rubber sole-ish along the outside edges and a tad greasy on the lips. But did I finish it? Yes. Yes I did.)”
American • $$
“The fried chicken sandwich is good (but it tasted like fish). I really liked the Boba fizzy soda. The mac and cheese tasted like Annie's boxed mac and cheese. Don't bother paying for it. You can make it at home. The caramel apple bread pudding is heavenly!! Portion sizes are good! I had leftovers.”

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:)”

“Took my little one in for the first time, a few issues I had was the gal that took our order was not super friendly or welcoming. She seemed upset, not sure if that is just her personality but it did not leave a good taste for an atmosphere that is meant to be kid friendly..Secondly, parents need to watch there kids. I don’t know how and if staff can enforce that since they are not employed to babysit so may not be aware but there were older kids literally rough housing and flinging each other by the arms. Bathroom smelled pretty bad because diapers are not being disposed of properly. I would recommend fresh cup not advertise that if parents need a mental break they can just go here to dump their kids and let them go off and play unsupervised and unborthered because there ad is insinuating that. I would still recommend this play place because they have good coffee, reasonable pricing, good play equipment, and we need more indoor play houses in Alaska!”

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.”

New American • $$$
“I ordered takeout for the “back alley smash burger”, after seeing the home made buns I knew it had to be worth the $17 price tag. And boy oh boy, was it ever! This place is far from the “bearded burger joint/new age stereotype”. Their burger and chips are amazing, all homemade ingredients. I highly HIGHLY recommend you to try out Altruro Bistro, don’t let the pricing scare you away from what the menu has to offer, it’s worth every last penny!!!”
Korean Barbecue • $$
“It was my first time visiting last night and I love KBBQ. Their service was fast and efficient. The portions are huge compared to other kbbq places in anchorage. Even the price for the combo a that feeds 2-3 people was amazing! I would definitely come back here again! I was very pleased!”

Love a place with kale on the menu 💚💚💚”

“We really enjoy Bernie's and visit often. It's one of the few places to go in Anchorage that you can smoke cigars and have a tasty beverage. Even in the winter they'll fire up the outdoor heaters so you stay warm and dry.
The food is surprisingly good, and service has always been top notch.
This isn't a posh bar, but it's a fantastic lounge and place to hang out. They do what they do very well.”

“We’ve long been fans of Serrano’s take-out for our company events, but when we heard about their stunning new Terra’s Room downtown, we couldn’t resist hosting our statewide management team there, and it did not disappoint!
From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless. Serrano’s Manager, Monica G., connected us with Alysha from Elevated & Refined for our tablescapes, and she absolutely nailed it. The setup was gorgeous, warm, elegant, and completely honored our 70 years in business.
The food and service were outstanding as always. The legendary beans at the Taco Bar had everyone coming back for seconds (and thirds), and the star of cocktail hour was a show-stopping charcuterie board that disappeared almost as fast as it was served.
We left full, happy, and already planning our next event. AVIS Alaska will definitely keep Serrano’s at the top of our list for every celebration.”
Cafe • $$
“Everything!!! My first visit there was earlier this week with two friends. I ordered the Goat Cheese and Beet Salad. It was out-of-this-world. The encrusted Goat Cheese was extraordinary. It was warm with a delicious crispy outside and a warm soft goat cheese inside. There were 3 on the salad and I could only eat one. I brought the other 2 home, warmed them up in my toaster oven and again they were amazing even the next day. The salad was huge. I also brought half of it home. The Basil Balsamic dressing was perfect and the candied pecans were huge and amazing too. The whole salad was wonderful with the combination of the other ingredients. It came with a yummy warm homemade biscuit. I also ordered their Tomato Basil Soup and it was the best I have ever had and it is a favorite of mine and I have ordered it at many other restaurants. It too came with a biscuit. For dessert I ordered the Chocolate Thunder Cake which I took home. I have had it in small slices, warmed up, with vanilla ice cream and I still have lots of slices to go. It totally melts in your mouth. I am a dark chocolate lover and it was the best. I am going to Sis’s Cafe again tomorrow with another friend!! Silver”

“Stumbled upon Arigato by accident staying at a motel down the street while I overnight in Anchorage on my way to work for 5 weeks up in the Northwest part of the state. I was HUNGRY when I came in and ordered several dishes-edamame, spicy tofu, tempura Halibut (seasonal), and two sushi rolls. The owner who was waiting on me also surprised me with a delicious little soup and salad to start the feast. Every dish was one more delicious than the next. The edamame was piping hot with perfect amount of salt, spicy tofu 10/10, the tempura halibut had so much flavor and dipped in a little splash of soy sauce was so tasty, and the sushi rolls were fresh and flavorful and delicious. I will get a ride across town to eat here again if work lodges me at a different hotel on my next trip in October-I will absolutely be back! And yes, I ate it ALL!! This place is an absolute gem.”

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!!!”

Korean • $$
“Been going to this Korean restaurant several times over the past few years whenever I'm in town. Frequented by locals, so you know it's pretty authentic.
The banchan (side dishes) are tasty and they are generous with the variety. My usual items to order are the soft tofu soup and grilled Galbi. Both are pretty tasty but recently I've found that it can taste a little too salty.”

Everything is so delicious and downright special. I’m happy to cook dinner knowing everything is prepared. I just have to cook it per the simple instructions. Now, have things gone perfectly according to plan ever week with the deliveries? No but who cares when the food is so amazing. Chef Alex takes good care of us and hasn’t let us down with his brilliant menus.”

“Amazing food and great service. We came with a large group with little notice on a Monday night and they welcomed us with open arms. I sampled most of the Italian dishes and they were large servings and really good. I choose the steak and it was also good and I would’ve given them a top review anyway, However, I had a second visit the next day in search of my lost purse and Andreas (maybe the owner himself) went beyond over and above to help me locate my purse. Like amazing effort that saved me a day of stress that would’ve cost me a nice train trip with my family. My extended family who also lives close by told me later about how much comfort and compassion they have shown my aunt who is recently lost her husband, when she comes in. Places like this don’t exist where I live. Thank you so much for being extraordinary!”

“I ordered the caribou burger medium rare with crispy Applewood smoked bacon and a small side salad. It was absolutely delicious- moist, not too greasy and flavorful. I would order it again. So now I've added caribou to my list of other burgers - elk, camel, and bison. Bon Appétit!”

“Good food and fast service, breakfast burrito was very filling and delicious, but these are all things you can find at any bonvoy hotel, the app never fails to impress me, especially when I need it, thanks for good service and good food.”
Bar & Grill • $$
“Looking at the previous reviews I was a little concerned but the meal, service, and atmosphere were top notch. Was able to grab a table right away and did not take long for Natasa to take our drink order. Lots of beer on tap to choose from plus many other drink options . I had the halibut and fries which were excellent and my wife really enjoyed her salmon. Not sure what they put in the cole slaw but I want the recipe . If you want a great restaurant to end your stay in Alaska this is it. If you want a cool place to hang out in Alaska and watch the floatplanes, this is also it.”

“Their sushi and sashimi are so fresh- as good as it gets outside of Japan.
Cozy and clean interior. Easy to park.
Korean dish and side dish options are very tasty as well(galbi is 10/10).🍱🍣
Still dreaming about their deep fried Kodiak roll🤤”

“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.”

“We’ve long been fans of Serrano’s take-out for our company events, but when we heard about their stunning new Terra’s Room downtown, we couldn’t resist hosting our statewide management team there, and it did not disappoint!
From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless. Serrano’s Manager, Monica G., connected us with Alysha from Elevated & Refined for our tablescapes, and she absolutely nailed it. The setup was gorgeous, warm, elegant, and completely honored our 70 years in business.
The food and service were outstanding as always. The legendary beans at the Taco Bar had everyone coming back for seconds (and thirds), and the star of cocktail hour was a show-stopping charcuterie board that disappeared almost as fast as it was served.
We left full, happy, and already planning our next event. AVIS Alaska will definitely keep Serrano’s at the top of our list for every celebration.”

“Tucked away in the back of a main floor executive office tower, Dripping Zero provides a quiet place to enjoy a great cup of coffee or a quick lunch. There's plenty of seating inside or outside, with large windows to let in the light and provide a view. The owners are super friendly and happy to serve you anything from their menu or curate something of your choice. Prices are fantastic! This place can't be beat if you're a coffee aficionado.”

“Amazing food and great service. We came with a large group with little notice on a Monday night and they welcomed us with open arms.

“I'm a big fan of a good cheese steak. However; the fast food setup at Charley's is good! I am a huge fan of their buffalo Philly sandwich. Love it.
Staff is always great, especially considering the small work area and the lunch crush.
It's worth a visit. Oh yeah, they have other locations off the military base in Anchorage.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed a Mango Heatwave mocktail, tonight, with my dinner. Fresh and fruity, with enough heat to know it's not playing around, but not lingering, so you'd regret it. I love how all of the flavors are pure and intense, and not covered up with chemicals and things we cannot identify.”
