Con: The customer service was subpar. Folks we encountered working the front of house seemed rather cold and unwelcoming. Sushi was not great. Pro: Spicy seafood noodle soup was yummy. Great for a chilly eve. read more

This restaurant was awesome. We arrived at around 8:15pm knowing that they close at around 10pm. There was only one other group that was there besides us and they eventually left, which left us to be the only ones there. Their food was amaaaazing. There wasn't anything there that didn't taste great. And their customer service was great too. It was my last night in alaska and I'm glad I ate there. It was great. read more

Had sushi and tempura udon. Place is owned and operated by Korean. Food was decent, clean, well prepped. Was pleasantly surprised. Plates not so clean. Kimchee came with my Japanese choice. Weird, but not complaining. Decent kimchee, possibly store bought?? Either way I was killing for a bowl of ramen to go with the kimchee. Salmon was meh. No wasabi under the fish, sushi rice isn't sushi rice, but hamachi was prepared perfectly. All the bloody and skin parts cleanly removed. Very good. All other sushi was meh. Tempura wwa pretty bad, not your typically tempura batter. Still, shrimp was surprisingly fresh. Overall I'd come here again as they are just 3 blocks from where I always stay whenever I'm in anchorage for business. read more

Great and super delicious food. Presented very well. Customer service great only at the bar other wise it is better for you to serve yourself. Lol. I always meet my best friends there for a 2-3 hours visits when i come to Alaska. Peaceful place. A lot of green and waterfalls. Swimming fish in a pond is a great for kids and others. I like it a lot. Highly recommend. If you want to go for a lunch break there than sit at the bar. Faster and great place for relaxation. read more

One of my favorite sushi joints in Anchorage. I suggest sticking with the rolls on the menu and not opting for the specials posted on the board. The specials tend to be a little odd in flavor and think it maybe Dami's way of using up "old" items. Other than that, the food and service are fantastic! read more

We were looking for some good food in Anchorage on our one night in town following an Alaskan cruise. It was raining, and we wanted something close to our hotel with good food so we checked out the Yelp reviews and found Dami. It is certainly not something that would have caught my eye when walking by, but I am so glad we found this place. Inside the restaurant has a great ambiance. We were greeted quickly by a friendly server and plate of edamame. My husband and I ordered four sushi rolls to share. They came with salad and miso soup, and each one was more delicious than the next. After a week of great food, we didn't think we would be able to finish but we ate every bit because it was so good. I even enjoyed the complimentary fried Oreo that came out for dessert (yum)! And we had a wonderful conversation with our server. This place was a great value and excellent choice. Definitely check it out! read more

The food and service is unimpressive and the older lady at the front is completely RUDE. I would not want to go back. I don't recommend eating here; you can find better food and service for the same price or cheaper all over town. I've had better rolls at Sushi & Sushi, Bernie's, Ronnie's, Souper Bowl in the mall, etc... The ambience inside of the restaurant is nice, even though it's connected to an Inn and our server seemed indifferent. Their menu is very extensive with a lot of options for sushi and other Japanese/Chinese food. We ordered appetizers and sushi rolls that didn't taste bad, but it was not anything special. My friend who is allergic to avocado ordered the Las Vegas roll which didn't have avocado listed in the menu (most Vegas rolls don't). It came with avocado, we told the server, she seemed to not believe us when we said that we don't think it was listed on the menu. Then she came back, said it's not supposed to be in there, took the Las Vegas roll to fix it. Our friend had to wait about 15 minutes after everyone at the table had already finished eating and our server didn't comp anything on the ticket nor did she apologize. When my friend got the roll back, an older lady who wasn't our server came by and said, "Las Vegas roll NO avocado" with an attitude. This was the same lady that checked us out (no one told us that we had to go to the front to pay, so we waited a long time without seeing our server after we received the check). We went to the front to pay, the older lady didn't say anything, I gave her the first card and told her how to split up the order, she still didn't say anything, she ran the card, gave it back, and asked what the two other cards on the table were for. I told her I wanted to split up the bill (mind you we were a group of 6 with a large bill), she did not apologize, said that she ran it for the whole amount, I asked if she could issue a refund, she made some noises and still didn't apologize, so we decided amongst ourselves to Venmo each other money and not waste any more time there. The lady stood there, didn't give us a pen to sign the receipt, when we asked for a pen she just said, "What? There's no pen?". It was terrible service for mediocre food that wasn't cheap. I would never go back and don't recommend it. read more

My wife and I truly enjoyed our sushi dinner at Dami on our vacation to Anchorage, despite being initially skeptical based upon the mixed reviews. We went mainly because it was walking distance from our hotel. Our server was friendly and honest (e.g., telling us not to get the oysters). We had the gyoza and 3 different sushi rolls, and all were excellent. Definitely recommended. read more

That Spicy Seafood Noodle... That Crunch Roll... You just have to check this place out...! read more

Dami - BBQ short rib box - Japanese Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

This was a great place. Despite its unusual location (attached to the Econo Inn), the ambiance was nice. The interior was decked in the usual Japanese garb and was dark with spotlight lighting and fairly loud rock music playing. The food was good. I had the sushi which was well prepared. The teriyaki and spicy squid was great. We also had the oyster appetizer...so fresh. I'd say the only downside was the drifting smell of cigarette smoke which only came in when a large group walked in from the Inn. It was minor. At the end of our meal we had a neat surprise, fried Oreo cookies! That was a treat since we've never had them before. Great end to a really good dinner. read more

This is one of my top choices for Sushi when I crave. The location sucks since it's attached to what looks like a motel but don't let that scare you. When you get inside, the decor is pretty neat. They have a little pond area w/ real live koi fish! The staff is always friendly and service is fast. Their sushi always tastes fresh and sooo yummy! read more

Customer service improved a whole lot this visit to anchorage. The food was good, the servers were very personable and made conversation that was very inviting. The food was delicious as usual. A good thing. The location was very convenient. Next time I come back to anchorage I'll definitely come back. I'm glad I gave Dami's a second chance. Thanks for improving your customer service! read more

We've been to this place many moons ago & then it was just OK. This visit was definitely an upgrade from years past. Their food selection has broadened to include sashimi & my favorite dish, Hae-do-bop. The ambience is still on the dark side but I love it that way because it felt like date night. Enjoy your meal here. The service was good. read more

Friendly waitstaff. Didn't wait too long for food to come out. I did think the sushi was a bit pricey but it is Anchorage. I didn't care much for the location. It's unfortunate that you have to walk through the dingy lobby of the Econo Inn to get to the restaurant. I ordered the dinner entree vegetable tempura and a spicy roll. I should have just settled for the sushi. Very large portions on the vegetable tempura which also came with soup, salad, and rice. Overall, this place was great. I had a very friendly waitstaff. My sushi chef was kind enough to make me a little side of mussels *free of charge* to try and the waitresses were attentive and made sure that everything was okay. My only complaint was the location and the prices for the rolls. read more

No greeter. Not enough wait staff. I had the chicken teriyaki dinner: Over cooked chicken/ mediocre teriyaki sauce. My plate came out last at least 10 min after my two other companions. Salad was SWIMMING I watered down gross sauce. The edamame was delivered cold to table with no bowl to discard into. This place is number one on Yelp of Japanese restaurant. This place needs to close down so someone who cares can run it. And the worst top 40 music one could possible play: ice pick in my ear. And I got an upset stomach about an hour later. I bought a take away for my friend, chicken teriyaki combo, and he gave it two thumbs down. read more

Love this place been a client for years!! And there great food is always so good, employees don't even speak much English but they really do great ... sushi is the best in Anchorage thank you Dami for everything!! read more

So don't let the location cause you to turn around and go somewhere else. Yes, it shares space with an Econolodge but that's where the similarities end. The food and service are both great. While I wouldn't say I'm a sushi snob, I can say I've eaten some primo sushi in my time and Dami's serves some damn good sushi. My wife and I shared three rolls and some sake. The Dragonfly and Crunchroll 2 were great, and while many sushi restaurants overwhelm you with a mouthful of rice and leave you wondering where's the fish, at Dami's you get just enough rice to complement the fish and bring all the flavors forward not hidden behind a mouthful of rice! The prices are a little high but then again it's anchorage. Eat here you won't regret it. read more

Delicious and beautiful sushi in a nice relaxing atmosphere. The ikura and uni were fantastic! I'll be back every layover :-) read more

Dami - Yummy billys sushi roll - Japanese Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Besides the strange location...Dami is overall very good! The sushi was amazing, our waitress was probably one of the best from all the other sushi restaurants. She was very attentive and accommodating to everything we asked for with such a great attitude. The prices are also very affordable, I had to check the bill twice to see if something was missed. I usually pay and arm and leg at the other places. The entire atmosphere is very soothing and my daughter and I had a great time! Definitely coming back here. Overall awesome experience! read more

Sushi was great! We tried the Calvins Choice and the Mt. Fuji.. They were both delicious Calvins was a little better. My only complaint was our rolls were very loose. So it made it hard to eat! The flavors were great thou!! We will be returning! read more

Dami - Calvins choice was delish! - Japanese Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

The environment is very gorgeous. My favorite is the homemade salad that they serve before the meal, especially their homemade sweet salad sauce. But they tempura sauce is too thin. All the other food, bento box, yakisoba, udon are delicious read more

Dami - Spring - Japanese Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Last week, we found this awesome sushi place. Inside of the restaurant looks very nice although the location was in a shady part of town and the outside looks a bit strange. But nonetheless, the food was wonderful. The sushi, tempura and teriyaki were amazing! Love the fresh fish and great presentation. The service was very fast and the waitress was friendly and attentive. We will definitely come back one of these days. read more

Awsome sushi! Quite surprised because I wasn't sure what to think going into the hotel part. Service and food was professional and super yummy! Omg! They serve sushi the way it's supposed to be served! ***** read more

We had two bento combos, udon, and crab fried rice. While we didn't care for the udon everything else tasted great! The bentos were about $20 each and the fried rice was about $15. The fish was fresh and the fried rice was flavorful. The complimentary fried Oreo was fantastic! My kids approved! My husband really appreciated the attentiveness of the hostess. read more

The sushi is delicious but if you're coming for lunch and only have an hour, beware. More than once my wife was served first and I waited 20 minutes for my plate, or vice versa. Also, the main waitress can be a big grumpy bear and puts a damper on having a nice lunch out. I had to stop going for these two reasons, even though the food is excellent. Too many other good choices - stiff competition! read more

After re-reading my review, I remembered that I actually called the restaurant upon my arrival back at home. The woman who picked up was completely disinterested in what I had to say, and didn't even apologize. I don't know how well I can trust a place that probably was using old or mishandled product. I know this happened some years ago, but violent food poisoning is something I would *not* want to risk again. read more

Easy place to eat. Service is great the food covers sushi to tempura and does it all well. I personally like the Halibut dinner with shrimp vegetable tempura. Always cooked properly never under cooked never over cooked. Prices good and seems to always have a crowd. The phone number I took off the chop stick cover shows 274-1515; So maybe it's another number to reach Dami then the one that is posted. read more

This place may be usually good, but our rolls had.....warm rice. That ruined any chances of me wanting to come back. On the plus side, the ambiance is nice and there's an elegant fountain in the center of the restaurant. read more

My sister's family of 7 ate here and 4 of them got sick, just as they were beginning a vacation. We've reported them to the Anchorage Food Safety and Sanitation Department. read more

They used to be my favorite. That was until I came in with a friend and was auto-gratted. There were only two of us. I don't like to be the victim, but this was an unfortunate instance of racism. I won't ever return. read more

This is the place to go when you're craving not only Japanese cuisine, but Chinese and Korean as well! They have a wide selection of rolls (Billy and Calvin are highly recommended). **Spicy Tuna Hand Roll Save your server the trip back and forth from the kitchen and don't order just 1 roll. Trust me, you will order more. **Choice Box You can choose from either chicken, beef, or salmon teriyaki. Includes your choice of roll and tempura! **Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup They have perfected this tried and true Chinese dish. Order some rolls and other entrees then order this and put it in the middle of the table to share with the rest of your party. It's insanely good. **Poki Salad Huge chunks of delicious fish. If you can't eat spicy, ask them to leave out the jalapenos! **Service What pleased me the most with Dami is their service. The servers were very friendly and on top of your orders and ready to bring you anything you need. Don't skip this place and definitely try it out! read more

The location of this place is horrid. Now, when you get inside it is just fine. They have a water fountain and asian waiters... Nothing bad right? The food was really good. But if my dad didnt know where he was going we never would have found this place. I mean really? In the same building as a crackhead hotel? Yea, I dont think so. This was my biggest turnoff. I will only go back to this place when my dad suggests it. read more

I have never experienced service so poor and a place that smelled so foul. I think half the fish was rotten! The salmon nigiri they served me was actually slimy!!!! read more

I had the Calvin roll my husband had the Monkey brain. Both really good. Monkey Brain was cooed and I prefer raw. Loved mine. Second visit in one week!! read more

Had a great time with friends here! Sushi was both fresh, enjoyable to look at, and most importantly delicious! I will definitely come back here again! read more

I would say this is my favorite Japanese spot to eat in Anchorage in terms of food quality. I feel like their stuff is authentic food, place, vibe wise. And I would gladly go again! And get fat like sumo wrestlers. read more

Cute little place. Workers are very friendly and our waitress was pleasant and on point. My boys enjoyed watching the koi fish inside. We ordered the Calvin roll which we thought was pretty good. I got the teriyaki chicken combo and that was good (not the best I've ever had--but having a lot of teri sauce was a plus). Hubby got the teriyaki salmon and thought it was a little overcooked for his taste. Our daughter got the yakisoba with chicken and she said she would get it again. All in all it was a decent experience and I would probably opt to come here before I go back to Sushi Sushi which 2 out of 3 times the service has been very lackluster there (which although their food is very good, no one has time for crappy service). read more
