Reviews
I originally went to have an encounter with the horrible waitress that I heard about in the reviews, but either she is gone or wasn’t working at night. My waitress was sweet and attentive and handled my indecisiveness very well.
The best thing that I ate that night was RICE!
They have the best fried rice in anchorage that I’ve tried so far, so they will be my regulars for that.
As for sushi, my sushi wasn’t cold, more room temperature and slightly mushy, but the flavor was really big and the portions were big for the price.
My partner had chicken Don Buri and it was really good. Best way to describe it was an egg fu Yung patty, inside out.
My cup of miso wasn’t hot, until I ordered a second cup.
Salad was simple and small.
They give you a free fries oreo after dinner, which was a pleasant surprise and perfectly topped off our dinner.
If you just want some good cheap sushi. Then I highly recommend, but if you’re looking for a 5 star meal, this isn’t for you.
My party ordered a sushi boat which came with two rolls and additional nigiri. We ordered additional rolls too, which was way more than enough for 3 people, as well as a chirashi bowl and some sweet sake. All of it was great.
The decor was lovely too. There was a literal koi pond at the front of the restaurant! (Hope they don’t use that for the sushi…jk)
The staff was also really nice and gave us some tempura Oreos for dessert!! (The taste was…interesting but I really appreciated the gesture )
but there was a bit of a debacle outside when we were heading home as some loiterers kind of put us in a dangerous situation by not leaving us alone. Go there during hours with light and stay safe y’all!
I usually look over the bad and not-so bad reviews to see what was the worst day some of someone’s pathetic life that compelled them to trash the hard work of building-up a respectable business. I found some pretty bold claims, none phased me.
So I faced the -5℉ temps and went for a walk from my hotel to dine with my son. At 9pm on a weekend night, the place was empty. This usually is a really bad sign. Still willing to run the risk, we moved up to the host, equally as warm and fuzzy as the weather outside.
As we went to our table walking by the sushi bar, it looked as if they had checked out. Station cleaned, fish wrapped in plastic, no chefs at the ready. Now I’m worried.
Looking over the leignthly menu we decided 3 rolls to share and Agedashi tofu. Almost immediately we were served Miso and a small salad. Still no pleasantries from the host/server but by now it doesn’t matter.
The chef appeared, sushi was made to order and delivered shortly after. Very fresh, very good and not breaking the bank. I guess the Miso, salad and dessert was included. We couldn’t find any mention of a meal set.
Funniest part of the meal was, after we finished the main course our expressionless and generally unimpressed server cracked and said, “are you ready for your Oreos”. Not knowing what to expect we both answered “ummmm, ok?”
Minutes later two, hot out of the oil, tempura deep fried Oreos under a Denali sized frop of whipping cream drizzled with chocolate running out like an avalanche in May was set down between us.
These are not at all like the county fair versions, insanely better. GET Them!
The restaurant was clean, nice and efficient. Upon leaving we ordered some rolls to-go for others who did not want to bare the elements, it was prepped quickly and with grace. Very unassuming for a place seemingly to be attached to an Econo Lodge Motel. Don’t be scared off, this place is great !
Sushi was probably the best I’ve had.
The “mama” was super hospitable and attentive.
I’m ashamed I haven’t been here before!! Run, don’t walk, to enjoy this gem!
