    9. Salmon Poki

    The salmon poki was delicious and filling enough for a main meal. Husband enjoyed the dragon roll as well. The dark wood interior furnishings are nice but the room had a fried kind of odor in it. We enjoyed and there was no wait time to be seated for dinner.

    On our last day in the Northwest, my sister and I got to spend some time in Anchorage. Our Uber driver recommended Arctic sushi, so we decided to check it out for dinner. We had Jacob as our server, and he was phenomenal. It wasn't busy on a random Monday night, and he came over and talked to us several times. This place has some incredible sushi rolls to offer and definitely hit the spot. If you're in the Anchorage area, I would highly recommend some Alaskan sushi. Sushi: 9.1 Service: 9.5 Scale system 10/10 would be what I want for my last meal 9.9-9.3 driving out of my way to get this 9.2-8.0 like the place and would go back 7.9-7.0 I would come here again if it were presented and don't have anything bad to say 6.9 and below - thanks but no thanks after trying once

    Sushi variety

    Very clean, quiet restaurant! Definitely worth a try. I got the chicken fried rice but the rest of my group got a few different sushi types and were very impressed. It was not busy so the waiter was very attentive and kind. Also give the red bean ice cream a try!!

    Jodi P.

    Go! It's pricey , but worth it. Lot of flavor that's for sure. We had miso, spicy tuna roll , the Anchorage roll and veggie tempura . All 5 stars !

    5. Chicken Yakisoba & Thai Tea
    Duane R.

    Very flavorful Yakasoba. Staff was very friendly and prompt. I will be returning to try something new. Small business and was clean and quiet, focused on quality not so much ambiance.

    Hot Saki for cold evenings!

    When I first pulled up outside I thought the place was closed because it was hella dark. Walked in and asked them if they were open. I wasn't sure because I was the only one here... I can honestly tell you I've been to the Arctic and the sushi place in Barrow had more light than this place. Sat at a high table first and felt short so I moved to a regular one. Immediately noticed the table and the environment felt sticky to my touch and smelled like a burnt kitchen. I ordered the large hot saki, typical hot saki nothing fancy. Wow! That menu.. not very helpful without pictures and those prices for even basic rolls are crazy high! So I stuck to one roll for this visit, the baked salmon roll. Unfortunately it was not as tasty as I expected. Received one pice of ginger with the roll. Not impressive. I've had awesome baked salmon rolls... in other places... you pay your check near the door. Did just that... $37.00 later bowed out and moved on to Benihana, which is right down the street!

    Nirigi Salmon
    Christian B.

    Ciao every one! While in Anchorage on a overnight, I gave this sushi place a try. Overall all a good menu; Japanese and Korean items. Prices are mid range, average roll is $14.00 I started with a Miso soup, it was fine nothing special. The Hawaiian Tuna Poki was delicious. Very fresh tasting, with a nice spicy kick. The Salmon Nirigi was outstanding. Great flavors and super fresh fish. I finished my meal with the Fried Roll Kozebue Roll. A little plain, lacked that wow feeling yet it was tasty. Give this place a try if you are in the area. In the mean time keep eating yummy food! Arrivederci!

    2 different ones from the fried

    The 2 plates we tried were good, no complaints. However, the restaurant just looked/felt dirty. Everything felt greasy, including clean dishes. Service was quick. We were the 1st ones there at opening.

    Nome roll & Philadelphia Roll
    Nicole R.

    The pros- the sushi was good, albeit pricey- more pricey than the other sushi joints we've been to in Anchorage. The cons- service was atrocious, we only received 3 of the 4 rolls we ordered, never got refills, and had to go to the cash register to pay. I'll add we were THE ONE AND ONLY table in the place too!

    Veggie ramen
    Paula L.

    The place has an okay atmosphere. Nothing special. A square with thick wood tables and wood paneling. We only got the deep fried tofu, a rainbow II roll and an order of veggie ramen. The tofu was very light and delicate. Not much flavor served with a season soy sauce. The rainbow roll was very good. The ramen was tasty. We enjoyed our food.

    Frosty from a day out traversing downtown during the Fur Rondy, we made out way through the throngs on 4th Avenue to one of the best, but most expensive sushi joints in town. I'm not a huge fan of sushi (gasp, I don't do much fish) But since I do know this is some of the best sushi in town,we made our way through the throngs of people to the cute little cabin. Unapologetically Alaskan- Arctic Sushi is a log cabin, with country music, hand carved wood tables, and Japanese sushi chef. This is proof positive once again that Anchorage is undoubtedly a multicultural city. They have a very robust sushi, sashimi and nagiri menu with something for everyone, in addition to Terikayi and a few Korean items as well. I went for the cucumber roll and the vegetable tempura and the kiddo got some kind of magnificent looking sushi that had 3 different kinds of roe on it. It was absolutely gorgeous. My tempura was the most perfectly bettered and cooked tempura I've ever had. I've had a lot of tempura, but this, THIS was perfection. My only qualm with Arctic Sushi as so many others have stated is this place is SOOO expensive. My items were both 8 bucks each for small portions (remember they were veggie only) and they should have been 5.95. The fish sushi items were staggeringly expensive. But I guess you get what you pay for. Cause it was REALLY good.

    I wanted to love this place so bad, but it was just ok. The wait is worse than the reviews say…read more He literally works on 1 item at a time, and even though the table next to me ordered the same special sake with the salmon fin, he only made 1 sake at a time. Mine may have showed up 20mins after my neighbor's. The quality of the food items were just ok. I had comparable sushi at another sushi restaurant a few blocks away. -Idiot Fish: The most exciting thing was the name. It was a pretty firm fish, no fat, and quite a few bones. -Sashimi Platter: 6 types, with 2 each. We got mackerel, yellowtail, tuna, salmon, white fish (snapper?), and octopus. -King Crab Roll: What I thought was the imitation crab was actually real crab. The coloring was so ...fake looking. It's not a bad roll, but I'm not sure the flavor of the crab came through. -Beef Steak Japanese Style: Big dish but awful cut of meat and had a semi off taste. Either freezer burn or the fridge. It was full of sinew and super chewy. -Herring Roe on Seaweed: This had a strange bitter aftertaste. I couldn't eat the beef after having this, it made the beef bitter too. It was a super fun texture though. Very snappy, very poppy. Only come here if you absolutely have the time for it. My dinner took about 3 hours, and there were 5 other tables.

Each dish is made with care and heart, the kind of comfort Japanese food that will have me returning. The hot sake and special sake (with salmon fin) were awesome -- a must-try! Downside: the wait for food and service can be very long, but Sam's a one-man operation -- and absolutely worth the patience! If you plan on bringing three or more people, be sure to reserve seating ahead of time. I definitely need to try the ramen menu next!

The service was on point. They have a massive whiskey bar downstairs. They have an excellent menu of craft cocktails. They also have excellent mocktails. I will critique their bourbon selection only because they have a number of bourbons that are 18+ years old that they're trying to sell for Scottish and Japanese prices which are based on reality. Bourbon is not any good out of the barrel past 12 to 14 years. Corn is not the same as grains. The sugar is degrade and get dark after 14 years in spite of some companies selling some of their older swill, trying to get rid of it as premium. They were very nice. I gave the bartenders and recommendations of things that actually are worth that kind of money in the bourbon world. There was plenty to find that was not expensive and quite excellent. The only negative? The Host stand at the top of the stairs needs people who have more pleasant personality. How you greet people in the restaurant is absolutely imperative. It sets the tone for the whole meal. The whole experience. They seem to think that their job is to shoot people off because the restaurant is booked, but they do it in a manner that will make sure people don't come back. It's a little too New York curt. Smiling,and some good grace, would not hurt either of them. When they tell you, it's time to be seated, engaging people and making eye contact would certainly also help them look a little more human as well. Do make reservations. Otherwise, the wait time can be very long. Outstanding food! Absolutely worth passing through the gargoyles at the front door

    We used to come here when this place was Peter's Sushi Spot, the inside has not changed hugely…read moresince then, except maybe for the hot plates on the tables, should you wish to have shabu shabu. The hot plates are spotlessly clean, I did notice, and there were instructions on the wall on how to cook shabu shabu. We used to come for the Tempura Udon which was spectacular. We were seated very quickly, and water was brought out. I decided to go with my benchmark dish, which always gives me some idea of whether I will return or not, and ordered chicken fried rice, husband got the tempura udon, so he could compare with the previous Udon we used to get here. I noticed that their soft drinks are only $2 which is an excellent price in my opinion. I got a Canada Dry as I love ginger ale. His Udon came out quite quickly, and we could instantly tell that the broth did not have the same depth of flavour, as when we used to come here, (it was quite smoky and very umami) and this one has a distinctly seaweed tang. Thats not to say that it's bad, it's just different. The noodles are also not quite so dense, chewy or toothsome. Additionally the tempura was somewhat of a letdown. The shrimps were very slimline compared to the display on the tv. There was an onion ring, that was also quite thin. Just not a good representation of tempura. Also, comparing with the Udon that used to be here, you also got a cup of miso soup, and a small salad with a carrot orange dressing. Those are gone. As for my chicken fried rice, well the presentation was excellent, it came on a beautiful plate, and looked very appetizing. The first couple of bites were really nice, plenty of carrots, broccoli, chicken, however I soon started encountering tender crisp onions. Which I cannot eat. They give me violent stomach pains. I can only eat onions that have been cooked down to almost mush. Anything raw or that has any element of crunch to it is a no-go, as it will make me ill. I found it somewhat unusual, as I get fried rice all over town and have never encountered chunky onions before. I'm sure I could have asked them to leave them out had I known they were going to be in there. It tasted good, for sure, but having to continually move the onions aside (and there was a lot of onions) was offputting. Normally when i get fried rice, I eat some, and take the rest in a to go box. I did not take the rest home this time which is very telling. Anyway, service was excellent, and they were very attentive - for instance our server saw that my husband was giving me a spoonful of his udon, and without being asked he came over with an extra spoon, small bowl, and a ladle, which I thought was very thoughtful. I cannot fault the staff.
