Not the fanciest place, but great hole in the wall. Quiet, this place saved us. 1st night in town every restaurant had a 1.5 wait and we were starving after traveling all day. Sushi was amazing! And the soups were great too. read more

AMAZING FOOD!!! Service was slow (only one person working) but absolutely WORTH IT. there were 5 people in my group from NYC and Las Vegas , who all love sushi, and everyone loved their dish. Go support this establishment!! read more

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. read more

Arctic Sushi - 9. Salmon Poki - Japanese Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

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 read more

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!! read more

Seafood dishes prepared fresh and great service. Great options for Vegans. Ramen noodles. sashimi was tender and delicious

Food was really good. We enjoyed the 3 different rolls that we ordered. Prepared quickly.

AWFUL EXPERIENCE! We arrived around 7:30 pm on a Sunday. The service was ridiculously slow. There was only one waitress working and we could see just one person working in the kitchen. There were three tables that were already occupied and it looked like only one of them had their food. It took about fifteen minutes before the waitress took our order. That was bad enough, but then it took THIRTY-TWO minutes for the food to come out. The Yakisoba noodle soup was SOOOOOO salty! The Tempura Halibut was okay. We were pressed for time as we were in a tour group so we did not want to waste anymore time and send back the Yakisoba. It took several minutes to pay our check. They don't bring the check to your table. Instead, you have to go up the front counter and wait for the same lone waitress to find and calculate your total. The waitress was also trying to take care of a very large take-out order when we were trying to pay and leave. I mentioned the overly salty Yakisoba to the waitress and she had no response. The restaurant is very dark and dingy. The tables and chairs are sticky and there are live and dead flies behind the mini blinds at the windows. We won't be back. read more

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 ! read more

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. read more

Arctic Sushi - 5. Chicken Yakisoba & Thai Tea - Japanese Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

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! read more

Visiting Anchorage on business and was looking for a good restaurant near the hotel. The service was excellent, prices were reasonable and the food was great! read more

I like my salmon sashimi it taste like butter so good. also I like my soft shell crab.

Amazing fresh sushi. The fish melts in your mouth. Sushi chef was so kind to show me how he made my rolls.

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Great little place! The Dutch Harbor roll was fantastic. The owner does all of the cooking so it took a little time to get our orders. We weren't in a hurry so didn't mind the wait. Our waiter was friendly,knowledgeable and courteous. If you're looking for something fancy, keep looking. If you want a yummy meal with no frills, this is the place to go. I'd definitely eat there again. read more

Arctic Sushi - Dutch Harbor roll - Japanese Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

The only good thing we got from this restaurant was the baked salmon roll. Everything else was inedible. Their miso doesn't taste right at all and their bento boxes... so bad. My husband couldn't tell me if he was eating chicken or not and my halibut came fried (way to ruin a perfectly good fish) with no warning it was fried and when I requested extra sauce they didn't give it and there was hardly enough sauce to cover the horrible flavor of it. I'd never order from here again. Save yourself and go to Sushi-Ya... so much better but not on Uber eats so we ended up with this one. Never again! read more

First sushi joint my wife and I have tried in Anchorage since moving from the lower 48 - the prices were staggering for basic rolls. Almost 10 bucks for a Kappa maki? That roll is just cucumber, typically 4 or 5 bucks at even expensive sushi bars. But, I'll digress from the prices for a reprieve. We ended up with 3 rolls. Our fish of choice for the evening was tuna, and while the tuna flavors we got were good, buttery, and fresh - each roll just had way too much sauce both sweet, creamy, and a little spicy. I know sushi places can sometimes go overboard with sauce on specialty rolls (and the flavors were mostly good) but the spicy tuna roll is a pretty basic concept and didn't need to be lathered in who knows how much sugary sauce. For me it took away from the taste of the actual ingredients. One of the rolls was supposed to have tobiko, couldn't see or taste it - but who knows if it was there or not under the sea of sauce! Back to price, the spicy tuna roll cost the same as the specialty rolls, wasn't stuffed full, didn't have crazy ingredients. Paid 15 bucks for tuna and cucumber lathered under the same two sauces on the other 2 rolls we got. So, pretty expensive and overused sauce made for 3 very different rolls ingredient wise but unfortunately a very similar taste being dominated by mayo and sugary sauces. read more

I have to agree with some of the other lower rated reviews. I had planned to visit the fantastic Thai restaurant near the Caption Cook this trip, however it was closed. I walked around the corner and found "Arctic Sushi". The restaurant was moderately full and had a mixed crowd of 20 something's to retirees. I decided to stay. If I could give this place a zero, I would. First of all, I walked in and stood at the counter for 5 minutes before the woman or man working in the kitchen behind the counter even acknowledged my presence. I was finally seated, and waited another 20 minutes for acknowledgment and an order. I ordered the mixed Tempera and the shrimp fried rice. The food came out surprisingly quickly. The mixed Tempera came out first. It was OK at best, as it tasted as if it had been prepared in "OLD" grease in which everything was fried. The rice followed, and basically was inedible due to the burnt bits of (I am assuming rice) and the over abundance of oil. I commented when the lady came about the rice, but she just stated it came from the pan. The check arrived, full amount. I will say I did tip, but they could have done better and should have adjusted the bill for the inedible rice. One of the worst meals I have ever had in my many trips to Anchorage. I won't be back. read more

This place was so good 10+ years ago. I would eat here sometimes when I worked downtown or had jury duty across the street. The interior is decently sized but it can get really packed during lunch. Most recently we ordered from Arctic Sushi via door-dash. Everything was packaged neatly and securely, and the order arrived on time. The food tasted okay. I wished everything had a bit more flavor. We got their tempura roll, an order of tempura shrimp and tempura cheesecake, chicken fried rice and reindeer fried rice. read more

3++ stars . We landed here for NYEs dinner after missing a reservation to catch the lights and running into crowds at other places.....and we were not disappointed!!! It's small & quiet but the food is amazing and the owners/staff are nice and accommodating! We had gyoza, vegetable & shrimp tempura, spider roll & volcano roll!!! We'll definitely try it again when craving a quick sushi fix while in town. read more

This was a bit of a disaster from just walking in. There was one guy at the register, wiping down tables, seating guests, taking orders (in person & over the phone) -- basically doing everything other than making the food. Poor guy kept apologizing to everyone about anything; you just feel bad for him & he's trying to do his best alone. Everything was so slow: Getting our drinks took 10 mins, ordering our food took 20 mins, getting our food took over 30 mins. We were the only people in after a large group left (a couple people came to pickup online orders, and two people were sat after we ordered). Once we got the rolls (3 rolls total), they were all sloppy and almost every single bite fell apart. The taste was only okay, and certainly does NOT justify the price. We never got small plates to eat over, dipping cups, refills on water, new utensils (the customers that had last used our table left two sets of chopsticks behind, so ew, but also great?), or any check-ins on our dining experience. We didn't want to waste more time for the check, so we left an estimated amount of cash to cover the bill. Shameful to charge this much for such low quality and severely understaffing this restaurant. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, go straight to jail, and do not return. read more

There is nothing worse then when you visit a restaurant and the service is just...non existent. One chef, one server in a busy area of the city equals disaster. I don't care how good the food might be, if service is bad and careless it makes to experience horrible. Have to ask for refills Has to grab some hot sauce See others walking to counter just so they can order, and never even given drinks Wouldn't visit again, nor would I recommend. read more

I like the sushi here. It might be some of the best sushi in Anchorage. Why 3 stars then? The two P's: Pricing: about $15-17 for most of the specialty rolls Portions: that's all you get... a roll for about $16. I've eaten here twice. Once when I was only "sorta" hungry: and it served me well. Once when I was actually hungry: I ended up going to Sacks café for appetizers afterwards because I was still very very hungry. Even after sinking 16 bones into this place. So, for me this place is either a venue to enjoy a pricey snack. (one roll) Or an expensive meal. (~$32 for two rolls) If I'm dropping over $30, there are better places in Anchorage to do so. read more

I went here for a quick lunch. It was quick but worth the wait. It was packed during lunch but it should be. I ordered shrimp fried rice and my 1st Reindeer hotdog. Very delicious. I was happy with the hot dog it had a slight spiciness to it. I would do it again. The shrimp fried rice was so good. There a secret with the rice....don't know what it is but great. My friends had a bimibop and salmon. We were all happy. read more

This place used to be good. Was waited way too long to get our food. My soup looked like the soup you get for $1 at a grocery store but it was $18.95. The mussels had no meat in them. The shrimp was still in the shells. And still had legs. There was a poopy smell in the restaurant. I told them I didn't like the soup and wanted something else and they asked if I wanted it to go. No! The ginger was discolored, dirty plates. And they tried charging me for the soup. I paid for everything but the soup and left, no tip. Never again. I feel sick now. Will update if I get food poisoning. read more

Arctic Sushi - The ginger - Japanese Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Absolutely terrible food & terrible service. I ordered Tuna Poke and was dooped. There was the equivalent of one table spoon of rice, (not joking), and less than 1/4 cup of Tuna! They attempted to pull a fast one and add a healthy layer of cabbage under the tiny amount of Tuna and Cucumber as if to make it seem like actual food existed. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. Please try Lei's Poke Stop instead. I assure you, it's worth the drive read more

Will not recommend. The outside is very sketchy looking and makes you feel like not even walking in. Food mediocre. Expected more since it being Alaska and close to water. read more

Groupon had a deal so I decided to go ahead and use it. I ordered a pair of scallop sashimi (fish, no rice) and my friend ordered a California roll. It took awhile for our food to come out but I think it was because there were a few to-go orders the needed to be prepared. My scallop sashimi was more like a pair or SMT (scallop, mayo and tobiko with seaweed and rice) I'm not sure if that was what they consider scallop sashimi but I ate it anyways. It was not the freshest tasting and there was too much mayo. My friend liked her California roll. Not too much ambiance but friendly service. The prices are on the higher side for the quality. read more

Sushi roll was falling apart and not worth the $20 price tag for something very average

Had to edit my previous review after seeing their kitchen. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. DO NOT EAT HERE. You will get food poisoning.

Incredibly bad service and mediocre food. We went with a group of eight and the wait was unbelievably long considering the restaurant was completely empty. We ordered multiple rolls and did not receive one of them until the rest of the group had ate. Anchorage has great sushi restaurants like Sushi Ya and Ronnie's. There simply is no reason to spend your money somewhere where you'll receive awful service and food that will leave you craving good sushi. read more

Everything I've tried is top notch. Arctic Sushi hasn't been here very long, but the place is great. The chef has worked in Chicago, New York, and obviously here. Several of the rolls are his own recipes. Many have a fun Alaskan flair. The Reindeer Roll is an interesting experience. Definitely worth a try. The tables inside are all cool handmade wood and have a fun, almost quirky personality to them, definitely working off the log cabin exterior. The atmosphere is quiet but relaxed. It's nice and comfortable for talking to the staff or other people at the bar. It's rarely crowded, the service is great, and everyone is super pleasant to talk to. Prices are all pretty decent time. They have beer, wine, and sake. I've been to most of the sushi places in town, this is definitely at the top of my list. read more
