My first visit to this very good Chinese Restaurant. It sits back from the road by a lake just before the right turn into Fred Meyers. It is a house with a gravel parking lot in front of it. It has a sign with its name and says NU Fusion Cursine. read more

If you're looking for a beautiful view of the lake, this IS your place! If you're looking for homemade wontons in the wonton Soup, also your place. If your looking for friendly service, they've got that too! -- The food was okay. We each had a soup and a meal. The wonton soup had delightfully tasty wontons. The rest of the soup was just okay. Lots of noodles and small veggies. The broth had a distinct flavor of sesame oil at first, but it disappeared after the wontons were gone. I wish the soup just had the wontons in it. And maybe just wontons would bring the price down from 12 dollars to a cup of soup price. The sushi was also just okay. -- The service was okay. We sat outside and it took a long time for everything. A long time to get our order in, the soup, the main course. And I had to go inside to get the check and pay. It may have been one lady doing everything. She mentioned she had just made the wontons. If so, she is working super hard. I'm not in a hurry to get back to this place, but that view will be the reason I return. read more

Interesting little place and hard to rate. The food was marginal. Not great but not awful. Let's just say it was very 1990s style Asian style food. The setting is in an old house, a bit dingy but not terrible. What we loved about it is the owner. It appears she does everything. Hostess, waitress, cook and dishwasher. She does it with a huge smile and supper cheery attitude. There was another family with young children and It's a place where if you have kids you do not have to worry about them roaming a bit and being kids. The owner was great! Very low key place with a homey v read more

E Lu Fa Asian Fusion in Wasilla - I stopped in here about 4:30 this afternoon to have an early dinner. I've driven past many times and wondered what the food was like, so today was the day. It was the dirtiest restaurant that I've ever seen. From the filthy red carpeted floors to the sticky goo on the back of my booth seat, it was awful. I didn't really start looking around until after I sat down. I was the only one in the place, and there was one lady running the whole show. My saki pitcher and cup were so visibly dirty that I had her take them away and give me new. I could hear the microwave going to town in the back, and since she was the only one there, I am sure that was how my food was being prepared. I must say that the food was quite tasty, but the cobwebs and chipped paint in the windowsills Did not add to the ambience. While I was there, another woman came in and was placing her to go order for a family. The first thing she ordered was the steak, and the waitress/cook/cashier/dishwasher told her that she didn't know how to cook a steak. You could tell she was very overwhelmed just taking the order. I'll not go back and I suggest you drive on past this dump. -- eating dinner at E Lu Fa Restaurant. read more

This is one of my favorite spots to stop in for just an appetizer or a full meal. The food is excellent and prices are more than reasonable. The view of Wasilla lake is fun to watch the ducks with their babies in spring and summer. Recommend only to stop there for a meal if you want a leisurely meal. The owner is a great lady, who does it all. She is the hostess, waitress, cook and cashier, so please be patient. If you are in a hurry, this is not for you. I take my kindle and enjoy the view as well as the good food. Other times, my Friday dinner gang might just be seen at the same table. I have tried most of the menu. The sirloin steak and tempura prawns is delicious. The bento box is a sample of tasty food. The crispy prawn roll is big enough to be a meal, served with wasabi and pickled ginger. My friends enjoy the teriyaki salmon. read more

The food was very fresh and very tasty. We had the Mongolian beef and The cashew chicken. Service was prompt. When we got there, there was only one other table of people. Thursdays were may be a slow night, but that was to our advantage. The ambience is interesting but I have no eye for interior design, so I'm not worried about that. read more

My husband and I loved E Lu Fa!! I'm sad we had driven by so many times without trying it--we were missing out. Items we ordered that were battered & fried with tempura were fresh and phenomenal. I'm not a huge shrimp fan, but I will definitely be ordering the shrimp tempura again. The woman who served us was so friendly and attentive. We can't wait to go back. read more

A LOOFAH?! I really need to ask them how to pronounce their name - this is the only way I can remember it! One of my sister's favorite eateries in Wasilla, this Chinese and Japanese fusion restaurant boasts a gorgeous lakeside view. Upon entering, I could feel the romantic vibe from the muted lighting and high ceilings, to the spacious seating for a more intimate setting. After being seated and perusing their menu, my sister and I decided upon sharing the Golden Squid dish, served with egg drop soup and rice. It arrived in a timely manner, although we had to order an extra bowl of rice. The squid was delicious! It was soft and chewy, spread over four large squares of crisply fried wonton. The serving is more than enough to feed one person, and a decent size to split between two. It's tossed in a sauce reminiscent of light sesame dressing. The service is great - the waiters and waitresses are friendly, helpful, and quick. It was easy to get their attention, and we didn't feel rushed to order. I think it's wonderful when a restaurant has great food and service. For Alaska, the pricing is considered average ($$), bu may br pricy for Californians. I haven't tried their sushi rolls yet, but I hope they will expand their menu without sacrificing quality. Thank you, E Lu Fa, for this such a pleasant dinner! This is my first 4-star review for any Alaskan restaurant; I hope there will be more to come. read more

E Lu Fa Restaurant - Golden squid - Asian Fusion Near Me - Wasilla, Alaska

Very nice. Dinner was yummy. The lakeside view is spectacular, especially at sunset. Atmosphere is nice. Service was friendly and prompt. Our dinners came out quickly. All 3 of us girls ordered the bento box (see photo). It had more tempura than I was expecting, but it was good tempura. Not greasy, very crispy. The rice was flavorful, the orange chicken was uh-maze-ing! Loved it. Also really good - honestly everything. The egg drop soup was piping hot and had a fun surprise in it - corn. The egg rolls were very crispy and the veggies inside the egg roll were crisp and crunchy. I found the prices to be very reasonable for Alaska - $14 for the bento box. That's at least $5 less than the other Asian place charges for a dinner bento. Will definitely be back, next time with my honey. read more

This place has the most amazing chicken! It's just so tiny and the owner almost always greets us! The temper shrimp is so crispy and the sauce that come with yummm!!! Definitely recommend this place! Oh and the egg drop soup that comes with some of the best I've tasted!! read more

It doesn't really matter to me about the old furniture and holes in the ceiling but the tea was soured where it had to be setting out all night but now to the food the egg rolls had no meat but ok the fried won ton wasn't that good..had no taste then I had the Mongolian beef and what I got was beef and vegetables they poured soy sauce on my rice so that wasn't even fried rice. The beef didn't taste good at all. It does t matter that the people was nice because the food was that bad that being nice doesn't make the food go down. read more

E Lu Fa Restaurant - Beautiful view - Asian Fusion Near Me - Wasilla, Alaska

It was alright there was only one worker and cooker, it wasn't that clean but the sushi was good. She was a really nice, outgoing worker.

Excellent food, excellent service! This restaurant is now at the top of our list for the Palmer-Wasilla area. Wonderful views of Wasilla Lake coupled with friendly service of fresh, delightful food, make for a great experience. The Alaska Salmon Steak was excellent, as was the Alaskan Halibut Steak. Add to this Kirin Ichiban on tap (as well as Alaskan Amber and Alaskan White)! Even the egg rolls were fresh, unlike at many restaurants. We will be back soon! read more

My husband and I went here for Valentine's Day. The first thing that stood out to us was that the building was really cold and we were in our coats the entire time and still weren't able to warm up. The food was standard Asian food. What got to us and ensured that we won't be going there again was when it came time for us to pay, one of the workers came out and her fingers were freshly cut and bleeding from chopping ingredients. We could tell that she wasn't wearing gloves because her fingers were damp and had diced food on them. read more

The exterior is the most deceptive thing about this place. Many times I have driven past and settled for sub-par food. The food here is phenomenal. The service is swift and the view is amazing. There is nothing about my experience at E Lu Fa that I can say was bad or even remotely negative. Everything, and I do mean everything, was top tier. Go here. Try the amazing food. Support local businesses. read more

This place is absolutely phenomenal. Delicious homemade food, excellent services. It's definitely a gem of a home in the wall place. Highly recommend. read more

One cook, so come in and take your time to relax in front of Wasilla lake. Very good food and worth every bite as the chef cooks the meal at the time of order, there is no Fast food hamburgers served... but good quality meals especially Steak. I love to have food worth dedication to serve. read more

E Lu Fa Restaurant - Duck egg roll!! That's how to change it up! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Wasilla, Alaska

This is a solid restaurant. We were visiting from out of town and picked this spot because of positive reviews on yelp. The service was a bit odd because the owner/chef took our order even though there was a waiter working. The food was good and reasonably priced. Request a booth by the windows to enjoy the view. read more

I drive place this place all the time and have always wondered if it would be good. I've not been sure just because so much Asian food in the valley has been a disappointment but not here. Tempura very light and crispy. The menu is limited but it seems like what they have they do very well. Staff is very friendly and inviting- we'll definitely be back. read more

First visit here and will definitely be back. Warm cozy atmosphere, beautiful view of lake and mountains, and very friendly staff. Everything served was delicious. Love the halibut bites, egg rolls, Mongolian beef (very tender) and fried shrimp, yum! Check this place out, you won't be disappointed :) read more

The food was good and so was the service. Portions are on the large side. We will go back.

Trying to be fancier than they are. Asian fusion? I think not. Limited menu and nothing authentic. Decor is so-so. Step up the food and the atmosphere will be more appreciated. Fix the windows and upgrade a few other items when the menu starts to pay you back. Service was ridiculous. They didn't even know we were there waiting for a table for 15 minutes despite our "Hello?!" every few minutes. Then they left us without describing the menu or anything. Food was way average and overpriced. Too much effort to get to for such a mediocre experience. read more

Absolutely the BEST food in the Valley. The owner, Ming, is the sweetest person. Very detail oriented and a fanatic about the quality, freshness and presentation of her food. It pays off. Great dining experience right on the lake. read more

Visiting daughter and son in law from Illinois where we still haven't found a decent Asian restaurant. We decided to give E Lu Fa a try on our 3rd night in Alaska. There were 6 of us, 4 adults and 2 children (3 and 6) What an absolutely fantastic place! We all ordered the combination plate which was a huge amount of food. Even though we ordered appetizers, we ate almost everything. We have eaten in Asian restaurants around the world and this was easily the best. 2 Combo plate ....4 huge jumbo shrimp, chicken teriyaki, rice, salad with a wonderful ginger dressing 1 Combo plate...4 huge jumbo shrimp, sweet & sour chicken, rice, salad 1 Combo plate...4 huge jumbo shrimp, beef stir fry, rice, egg drop soup Kids....potstickers with a great dipping sauce, tempura shrimp, miso soup Appetizers....California rolls, egg rolls, duck rolls Highly recommend any and all, the 6 of us loved it. We had one shrimp leftover. In addition to the above 2 glasses wine, 2 tap beers. Total? $124 Definitely recommend, looking forward to our next visit. Food is without question a 5 read more

I've driven past this place for years, and we finally decided to try it out, and were glad we did. The food was absolutely excellent. Normally, I have little use for fried wontons, but these were scrumptious, especially with her "secret sauce". The egg rolls were easily the best I've ever had. I would easily give the food 5 stars. The setting is fine, nothing special, hence the 4 star rating. Perhaps if we had been there at sunset.... but it was already dark! We will return again! read more

Beautiful view and friendly owner. Unfortunately, everything is either tempura or fried. If that's all you like, you're in good shape.

We drove through Wasilla about three years ago, and I distinctly remember this place being absolutely lovely! The food was delicious, and the view of the pond was gorgeous. We were the only people there when we went, and we were served by one of the owners, who was super sweet and attentive. We'd definitely go back if we ever go through Wasilla again. read more

Excellent quality food and friendly staff. Definitely worth the price! Beautiful view of the lake adds to the atmosphere.

The place was very dirty, the floor was disgusting, the counters were sticky, and the glasses were unclean. However the food was a lot better than anticipated, the pork dumplings were amazing! But for me that is where it ended the calamari was tasteless, but my wife loved her chicken teriyaki so that is the only reason I am giving them a 2 instead of a 1. read more

I was excited to try this place out with the family but after waiting over 20 mins just to order was kinda sad. My children were fussy. There looked to be only 2 staff working. The waiter took an order and ran to the kitchen to make it. So we left. Never done that before. read more

Love the owners, love the food, love the lake view, a truly special place. Atmosphere is a bit strange and don't expect upscale seating, but well worth the trip. Please help keep this local place stay in business and give it a try! read more

I thought the tempura was very good. I'd get that again. Egg flour soup wasn't the best tasting. Beef stir fry didn't have pizazz. But I'll eat the tempura anytime! That was excellent! Nice lady there too. read more

I love this place! I have nothing bad to say about it. I eat here regularly and each time the food and service has been exquisite! Our favorite dishes are the Bento Box and the Mongolian Beef Stir Fry. Absolutely delicious! read more

I love this place. My favorite restaurant in Wasilla. Friendly service & Ming is great, she does it all with a smile. The view of the lake just makes it perfect. read more

The food is excellent, much lighter fare than most Asian food. Easy on the oil and lightly fried. The staff is very small - The owners (A semi-retired couple) run the place nearly by themselves. The wait will be longer on busy nights. It has a great spot right on Wasilla Lake that makes for a great view. Definitely worth a try! read more

Bad food bad atmosphere The place is dirty there are holes in the ceiling where light fixtures would have been. Mongolian beef didn't even taste like Mongolian beef it tasted like nothing I could I identify. Even the eggrolls were not good. Everything had a strange unidentifiable taste to it. If you're looking for decent Asian food this is not the place keep looking. Worst Asian food ever I had. This was a take-out order for the hotel room and I ended up throwing the whole thing out total waste read more

While the service was friendly, that's about all that was good. The floors needed vacuuming and there were cobwebs allover the ceilings. The place needs updating, but cleanliness is free. We heard a microwave door closing and beeping several times while we waited for our meals. We were the only ones there and it still took a good half an hour to get our food - the server said it was because it was busy the night before. My tempura sweet potatoes were still hard and therefore unedible. Wanted to try somewhere new...but we should've just gone to Panda Express - much better food for a much better price! read more

I love this place and can't wait to go back again. Reasonably priced, food is great!! Everything tasted very "fresh", like it was prepared just for you. If you want dinner in a hurry go to a fast food restaurant. It was a bit of a wait for the food but well worth it. I went with friends so it was a good time to visit and have a leisurely dinner. It felt good to slow down in a great place after a busy day at work. read more

This place has great service. The soup was hot and the egg rolls were perfect. We ate here on New Years Eve and I left my brand new Michael Kors purse here and the owner kept the restaurant open 45 minutes after closing just so I can get it. read more
