Complimentary fried oreos
Holly M.

We were in Anchorage for the day and wanted some sushi so we stopped here. We ordered some noodles, sushi and chicken nuggets. They gave everyone at the table miso and salad and free fried Oreos for dessert. The Kiss of Fire roll was very good, the spicy Tuna was just ok. I don't prefer the slightly burned flavor of the way they prepare it. The Philadelphia roll was good, and the noodles were very good. The flavor of the miso was perfect! The kids got chicken nuggets and fries which were pretty standard(frozen grocery store style). Overall I'm happy with this stop and would definitely return for more!

Outside. The inside is much nicer.

I was really excited to try this place but just walked out because of a rude, slow and dismissive waitress. The inside looks nice, but I'm not going to pay for rude service. Go elsewhere!

We love sushi and were disappointed, we just did not have the best meal. Stopped in after a long hike in the morning ready to crush some fish, it just did not live up to the name or reviews. It was very saucy and not much girth. Recommend Kumagoro

A peek at our chef at work!

Some of the best sushi ever, and a surprise dessert of green tea ice cream with a drizzle of chocolate and a tempura oreo! Sinfully amazing on all counts. The sushi chef has been there a very long time and you are treated like an old friend. Yes, you must walk through the hotel lobby which is a bit seedy, but behind the door and the flashing open sign is a comfortable oasis with an indoor koi pond and amazing food. Do not be deterred by the exterior. The sashimi was perfect. Rich, cold, and exceedingly fresh. The rolls simply amazing. No trip to Anchorage can now be complete without dinner at Dami!! Price was very reasonable as well.

Spider roll & volcano roll
Lisa W.

In my opinion Dami is the best kept secret in Anchorage. Due to its unfortunate location in the Econo Inn downtown, most people haven't given it a chance but I'm here to say you're missing out! The food is always fresh and service is attentive and friendly. I'm a huge fan of spicy tuna but find a lot of places put too much sriracha or vinegar in it and the flavor of the tuna gets lost. Dami makes theirs just right without losing spice. The best deal is their bento box. There are two options, one comes with your choice of roll (under $14 on their list of rolls). I love their kalbi bento without the roll. It comes with generous portions for $25. Dami will always be my first choice for sushi!

Service was great. The sushi and sashimi was generous, fresh, high quality portions. The prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is down to earth. I particularly like the fish pond on the middle of the dining room. I highly recommend it to those who really know good sushi. Dine in if you can and enjoy the cute fish swimming in the pond.

Philadelphia Roll
My'Onjia T.

For starters my favorite sushi to order is the Philadelphia roll and I always pair it with the Mongolian beef or sesame chicken combo which of course tastes really good. Inside the establishment there is a fairly big pond with koi fish swimming around and it really gives the place a relaxing touch. When dining in the service is prompt and the server even helped with explaining what's inside certain toppings and sushi rolls which is very helpful to people who may have allergies. When ordering for takeout/pick up my food is always ready in a timely manner. The only "bad" thing I can say (which isn't the restaurants fault) is there are homeless people lounging around outside which makes it less appealing to want to come inside to eat and feel your vehicle is safe outside. It's also kind of hard to get into the parking lot considering the business is right on the corner of a busy street area downtown. If the restaurant ever considered moving its location I believe they will get even more business. But again the food, service and decor will always have me come back for more!!

Looking for a late night meal after snowboarding all day and wanting to be away from the main part of downtown, this place did it. Great choice I usually look over the bad and not-so bad reviews to see what was the worst day some of someone's pathetic life that compelled them to trash the hard work of building-up a respectable business. I found some pretty bold claims, none phased me. So I faced the -5℉ temps and went for a walk from my hotel to dine with my son. At 9pm on a weekend night, the place was empty. This usually is a really bad sign. Still willing to run the risk, we moved up to the host, equally as warm and fuzzy as the weather outside. As we went to our table walking by the sushi bar, it looked as if they had checked out. Station cleaned, fish wrapped in plastic, no chefs at the ready. Now I'm worried. Looking over the leignthly menu we decided 3 rolls to share and Agedashi tofu. Almost immediately we were served Miso and a small salad. Still no pleasantries from the host/server but by now it doesn't matter. The chef appeared, sushi was made to order and delivered shortly after. Very fresh, very good and not breaking the bank. I guess the Miso, salad and dessert was included. We couldn't find any mention of a meal set. Funniest part of the meal was, after we finished the main course our expressionless and generally unimpressed server cracked and said, "are you ready for your Oreos". Not knowing what to expect we both answered "ummmm, ok?" Minutes later two, hot out of the oil, tempura deep fried Oreos under a Denali sized frop of whipping cream drizzled with chocolate running out like an avalanche in May was set down between us. These are not at all like the county fair versions, insanely better. GET Them! The restaurant was clean, nice and efficient. Upon leaving we ordered some rolls to-go for others who did not want to bare the elements, it was prepped quickly and with grace. Very unassuming for a place seemingly to be attached to an Econo Lodge Motel. Don't be scared off, this place is great

Bento Special. Looks better than it tastes.
Daniel S.

Unfortunately, we went against our better judgement here. Because of decent reviews online, we thought this place might be ok to get a cheap bite to eat. Dami was only a block from where we were staying, and seemed like a convenient option. The parking lot is tight, and for some reason full of people walking around. On our visit, there was also an old SUV with considerable body damage blocking much of the entry into the lot. That should have been our first queue. Inside was nearly empty, save two or three more patrons. There was an odd odor, almost like burning or cigarettes. The hostess/server seated us and gave us menus. However, they were not the ones online, and were priced at about double than what we were expecting. When we tried ordering, my wife requested no tofu in her veggie roll. The server was very sharp in responding there was no tofu. But when my wife pointed to the menu, showing tofu was indeed listed as an ingredient, the server didn't even become self aware. I wish I could say there was some food I enjoyed. The edamame was slimy, the miso soup was way too salty, the salad dressing tasted like mayonnaise, and my salmon was burnt (in a bad way). As for the Godzilla roll, the yellowtail was mushy and the eel was paper thin, but was deceptively "stuffed" with immitation crab under it. Finally, it's not the most important thing, but we weren't given a customer copy of our receipt after paying. I wouldn't recommend Dami. If you want sushi in Anchorage, try Yama Sushi; we've had far more success there.

Good sushi
Binio L.

I had a good experience. Was skeptical bc place was empty when I arrived but when I left it was busy. Service was flawless...maybe even too fast :) no complaints my server was spot on what everything I asleep and needed. Food I wanted something different and I ended up ordering something I get anywhere. Good flavor but wanted to get something more local. Well I chose a sushi place and not their fault. It was good. Place smells and looks clean and we'll kept. Staff is friendly and prices are ok. Not huge value deal but on average with other sushi places in USA. I'd be back. Plus it was very convenient from my hotel Sheraton. Easy parking if needed.

Kamikaze and Dami Special Roll was too good! Forgot to take the photo before I started munching down.
Esther Y.

My favorite sushi restaurant that I visited on my trip to Alaska. All the sushi was extremely fresh, they had a great drink selection, and I love the variety of sushi they offered. Recommend getting the Kamikaze, the Chef's Nigiri special, and the Kalbi to share with someone.

Pan Fried Shrimp Noodles. Delicious  food.

But the macaroni salad...weird? Or am I missing something? It tasted like run of the meal, store bought macaroni salad. Is it for the non fermenters? Cause that ain't me! Those fermented side dishes were the stars, until the bibimbap came out. The clay pot was more a large plate, but it was HOT and it made the rice exactly like I like it: crispy on the bottom and soft on the top. All the accoutrements were tasty and blended well with the rice and sauce. I wasn't sure what each of them were, so I tried a little bit at a time. They all had some unique savory flavors. In the end I mixed them all together for a final flash and bang of flavor. Service was excellent. Maybe the owner, maybe the manager was also seated at the bar and he stopped by at the end of my meal to ask about everything. Friendly and professional. The restaurant is clean and has great lighting. When one walks in, the bbq side is to the right and there is a bar area to the left. There is both tables and bar seating.

We were promptly greeted and seated. The restaurant was super clean and the exhaust fans were the best. They were also very keen on replacing a crisping grill plate as often as it was needed. Our hostess was also our server and she was so nice plus plenty of other servers checked in on us plenty. I think for two people and a child it was very reasonable in price. Maybe under $120 before tip including a soda and a few appetizers. The portions here are big as far as meat goes. And unlike other Korean bbq I've had, they kind of have you dump the meat on the grill and take the plate with them. It felt different but I have no issues with that. Towards the end I was stuffed and I think I'd recommend ordering maybe half an order of meat for the last round if you're not famished. My favorite dish was definitely the cheese corn really because I love esquites. My husband was a big fan of the japchae which was also worth getting. My three year old picky daughter enjoyed the pork belly and plain rice. This is definitely somewhere I'd come back to. They had great quality food and plenty of sides for me to chow down on.

So we decided to order from this restaurant via DoorDash. I didn't make a phone call this time. I…read morejust went by what I know I should be able to eat because it explicitly gave me an option for corn tortillas and I would venture to guess they wouldn't put soy sauce on the shrimp. So I opted for two orders of the three street shrimp tacos with three pieces. It's Pan seared garlic shrimp topped with cabbage, pico de gallo, and a fresh avocado sauce. which cost me $43.50 in total. I didn't know how big they were and I figured that three wasn't going to fill me up, but it did so I had second order for the next day. Although I ate it later on that night! SMH! I was weak! . But get this; for $8.25 You can get three street tacos with ONE piece of shrimp in each! $13.50 if you want three pieces of shrimp in your tacos! Your choice of corn, flour or lettuce wrap. Ok so my husband got the house fried rice and Bulgogi eggroll, which came in a set of two and is Hand rolled and filled with Korean marinated ribeye meat, bell peppers And onions, served with a house made spicy mayo sauce. The two egg rolls was $11.50. House Fried rice was $21.50 and is All of your favorites combined, kalbi steak, shrimp, Korean BBQ chicken, eggs, and mixed veggies. And two raspberry iced teas for six dollars. Total meal was $82.50 after fees and tips the total DoorDash was $96.07. That's an expensive meal and I didn't have a gluten reaction. Overall, the meal was tasty and filling, the raspberry tea did not come with ice, which was nice because it wasn't watered down, but it wasn't cold cold either of course so just add ice cubes and that did the job. Will we order here again probably next time, though we might go in so we can get a sense of the restaurant in person and the in person, customer service when it comes to gluten-free allergies/intolerance.

Maybe more spice, or more kimchi? Bacon? I couldn't tell what it was that was missing but I've tried many versions of this in Hawaii and it was blander than those. The Kalbi beef wasn't ribs! I was disappointed, it was just like shaved beef. Egg was good. Everything not bad, but in my opinion could have been better. Husband tried the kimchirito, or kimchi burrito. He said it was fine, enjoyed it but won't seek it out again due to the off-the-wall fusion of flavors. He did say it was nice to be able to sit at the bar and have a cold beer while he waited for our take out order. Our child tried an order of gyoza which were great! She also liked the seasoned tater tots that came with her dad's burrito. Might come back to try the actual Kalbi rib plate.
