    Sushi Bar.
    Richard N.

    Another fantastic dish, we went for the Hot & Sour Soup our staple, we always get 2 large orders, but we were grabbing To Go and decided on the Mongolian Beef! Let me tell you best Mongolian Beef in Alaska we've ever had. For a snack in the car we nibbled on 2fried spring rolls. Tender succulent beef and perfect sauce with the onions and scallions! This place is the best Asian in Wasilla bar none for many items. You can always count on the quality and the taste is spot on!

    Chicken lo mein
    Jocelyn L.

    Lovedddd everything we got! I had the Mongolian beef dinner special which came with a good portion of rice and 4 dumplings, all very tasty! The general tsao chicken with lo mein was flavorful together but the lo mein itself was plain. The hot and sour soup amazingg, highly recommend it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor was pretty nice[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and the staff were kind. I will be going back again for sure!

    This is my go to Sushi place in the Valley, as well as their sister location in Eagle River. I see them as Asian Fusion, Thai and Sushi with several classic and well recognized pan-Asian dishes. The service is fast and friendly making this an ideal lunch spot if you're on a tight schedule or a leisurely meal as you will it be pushed out the door. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean! It's always clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Sushi and Sashimi is fresh and well prepared and served beautifully. Pro Tips: I'm not a fan of the Pad Thai And Monkey Brains are delicious but feel free to order with just the spicy tuna and hold the imitation crab FYI their new location, just 100 yards from their current location, should be open next year.

    Monkey Brain. Don't let the name turn you off. It's an avocado bomb of deeelish.

    I've been here multiple times, enough to have tried at least 50 percent of the menu, which is relatively unchanging (and glad for that, because it's good!). I have whittled my preferences down to a couple of servings of maguro, with hot green tea. Then a Monkey Brain, sometimes with a house roll. They are proud of what they serve (as they should be) so be prepared to spend a bit of green. Reservations are not required but the wait is usually short. While the faces of the service team change frequently, they are always polite and attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Looking forward to enjoying dining in their tripled-in-size new location, just a few steps away.....still under construction at the time of this review.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Rainbow roll

    First off, the new building is GORGEOUS. After a little issue with our drinks, the staff came back with full force 110% great service! The food was beautiful and delicious, not to mention so quick from order to table! Thank you guys for everything, you made our night better than you know!

    Rainbow roll and Naruto roll

    We stopped for lunch driving between Talkeetna and Seward. It was amazing! The sushi was some of the best we've ever had. The staff and service were wonderful and so friendly. Highly recommend and would definitely be a regular if we lived in Wasilla.

    The food was delicious, for how tasty the food was the service was super fast! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Awesome Japanese themed artwork[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and [[HIGHLIGHT]]very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Sesame chicken and teriyaki chicken
    Ariel O.

    Came here with my husband after passing it many times. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside was pretty and welcoming with gorgeous paintings of Asia![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were seated immediately and serviced super fast. Everything came out insanely fast and the food was pipping hot! It was great! We ordered egg rolls, sesame chicken and teriyaki chicken. All of it tasted great and well made. The portions were also much larger than we expected so I'm glad I didn't order a side of soup or salad. The staff was very friendly and attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Although, there was a young girl who looked like Wednesday Adam's that was running food; she was stomping around so loudly you could hear her moving around in the kitchen area from the front sitting room and feel the whole floor bouncing around. It was incredibly distracting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She also was throwing the plates of food and on the tables very abruptly. I'm sure she was just super busy but it was wild. Overall, I highly recommend this place! Great Asian food, especially on a cold windy day! Will absolutely return!

    My sister and I have celiac disease and this is the only place in the valley we trust to make us truly safe gluten free food. An added bonus is that it is delicious. The staff is always super nice. I've never had a bad experience here.

    My tasty Thai tea
    Aleena H.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very nice ambiance, and attentive staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was eating alone following an appointment, and was offered a seat at the sushi bar, or booth.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I sat at the sushi bar and enjoyed a Thai tea. Loved the tall glass and the cute straw that had a swirl in the top, and it was delicious! I went with a side order of dumplings, and the crunch roll as my main entree. Was all very yummy and really hit the spot.

    Fried calamari
    Danielle V.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service is very attentive and the establishment is super clean and well appointed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is extremely consistent but prices are higher than other places in town like Zushi. I don't think their Thai dishes are that flavorful but their sushi and other Asian dishes tend to be very good. Their calamari appetizer is the best ever. I really like their crab dip too.

    Hot Sour Soup
    Tamara L.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a really beautiful restaurant with very attentive staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered from the lunch menu and the dinner menu. From the lunch menu we ordered the Panang Curry with Chicken ( includes 4 pieces of a California Roll) and a Fire Toll from the dinner menu. The lunch menu comes with your choice of soup. We chose the Hot and Sour Soup. The soup was excellent. I could have used a straw and a bigger bowl of this deliciousness!! We received the lunch order of curry fairly quickly. This would be very convenient for folks who have a limited time to eat during the work day. The roll came shortly after and was fully loaded! No skimping on this one! Now, down to the food. The soup was exceptional, the roll was great ( it was a fried roll) and the curry was decent. Not sure if they always add a heap of Thai basil stems on top.... But they did in this situation. I did not care for that. Unfortunately, there was a lack of depth of flavor in the curry. It just felt underdeveloped. However, the portions are very generous and the price is right.

    Not sure if the kitchen was backed up or what but we ordered brisket 15 minutes before the owner…read morewalked in and he got his food and his 2 guests also before we did. Bartenders were friendly. But understaffed for a full bar. On the bright side it's in a gorgeous area. Staff were super friendly. On a slow day it's a perfect bar to check out. Just happened to go on a super busy day that was also understaffed. Recommend it, maybe if the parking lot is full, check it out on a different day.

It's located quite a ways down in the knik area, if you are not looking for it..you might miss it. The outside doesn't quite give you that welcoming vibe but thanks to fb..figured we suck it up and try it. They always promote these amazing food specials and the pictures are drool worthy..so yeah it piqued my curiosity. The interior is definitely surprising. It's nice, humble, warm, and yeah..welcoming. The staff is very pleasant and greets you immediately upon entering. This place has a full bar..so drinks helps ease that uncertainty for sure. The food..the food is delicious! We ordered the ribs special and it comes with all the fixings (roll, mashed potatoes and gravy, baked beans) and it's a lot of food for a great price. They also have a slow smoked prime rib special offered that night as well (Saturday). The food is seriously fire..best smoked ribs I have had since living in Texas. It's definitely worth stopping in for the food. The drinks are good and strong! Perfect! We will definitely be back and I highly recommend if you are looking for good BBQ and yummy classic take on American dining.

The food: Portions are huge, the burgers are great, Mac n cheese isn't too shabby either. REALLY good fries. I hear they cut their own steaks in house but personally I haven't ordered one, the picture below was a friends and kinda tough. If you like an adult beverage, they've got a well stocked bar with local beers and a decent whiskey selection The French Onion Soup was really good.

The food isn't going to win a Michelin Star but you can tell the Kitchen is invested in the craft. The restaurant is relaxed, casual, and the people are super friendly. If you're in business attire just leaving work or bibs and boots leaving the river....this place is for you.

So I did exactly that -- nothing out of line. Suddenly, a worker that I'm familiar with named Joe , cussed me out, and kicked me out in front of everyone. Totally unprofessional and uncalled for. I wasn't being rude, I wasn't causing problems -- just following what I'd been told on previous visits. This review is not the for the restaurant itself but more for the specific worker that I've had a multiple issues with before.
