    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. Clean! It's always clean 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. 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.

    Veggie Roll

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

    Sesame chicken and teriyaki chicken
    Ariel O.

    Came here with my husband after passing it many times. The inside was pretty and welcoming with gorgeous paintings of Asia! 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. 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. 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.

    Very nice ambiance, and attentive staff. I was eating alone following an appointment, and was offered a seat at the sushi bar, or booth. 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.

    Disgusting practices from top to bottom, I have wondered about the cleanliness of the silverware a few times and now there is an inspection that says the dishwasher wasn't even hooked up to the detergent...disgusting. Also, the owner admitted publicly to smoking on the premises, and his private comments to underage girls have been made available by several whistleblowers.

    Fried calamari
    Danielle V.

    Service is very attentive and the establishment is super clean and well appointed. 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.

    This is a really beautiful restaurant with very attentive staff. 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.

    Chicken lo mein
    Jim W.

    Nice lunch at Basil Ginger. The lunch specials are just the right size and price is right. Nicely flavored lo mien, the shrimp are massive and crispy. Nice find. Highly recommend.

    Ask the waitress what's what. I'm sorry I forgot names  It's All GOD THO!

Yes, I got wings at a wood fire pizza place - and boy, am I glad I did. We did the garlic Parmesan and the sweet heat wings. I don't know what magic they do to get the skin so crispy and bubbly, but I'm happy they figured it out! It's like popcorn, so light and airy. And even sauced, the crispy texture didn't end! We took half our wings home to Anchorage and even after the microwave a few hours later - still crispy. We also shared a Greek salad that was delicious, fully loaded, and so big we both ate off it and still had leftovers!!!

    Driving around all day and it was starting to get late....and we were getting hungry! We asked a…read morelocal at one of the museums where he loved to eat and he recommended this place. We told him that we just wanted good food with a chill, laid-back vibe where we could just eat and hang without being pressured to leave quickly. We stopped by and it was busy. Parking is right in the front and lots of spaces available. There was indoor and outdoor tables and luckily we found a booth. The menu is simple and straight forward. You place your order first and then take a seat. My friend and I decided to share a pizza, we couldn't decide and we got half and half, Pear bacon bleu and Greek. I also ordered a ginger ale. So I don't know why my friend decided to share a pizza with me, maybe we were both tired, or she was sooo hungry that she couldn't make any other choice but it was surprising because pizza is not really her thing. When we were ordering, I didn't think anything of it, but as we were eating and basically almost done she said, "You know what, I would come back and have their pizza, that was the best pizza ever!!" No argument from me...both half of the pizzas were so good. It was the right combo. The pear bacon bleu was almost like a dessert pizza but still very savory with the bacon bits. We were both hungry and the pizza size was perfect and filled us both. I never did ask, but do they make their own ginger ale? It didn't taste like any other of the Ginger ales that I've had in other places. This was flavorful and very carbonated. The whole meal was perfect! Wood fired pizzas are something special since not a lot of places make pizzas this way but even better when done right. I highly recommend this place!

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.
