Third time trying ginger. We got there right at 5pm and it was basically empty. Our server came right over and we ordered our drinks and food right away. Food took maybe 10 minutes not long at all. I got the steak frites. Again the fries were not crispy at all. The steak was good, perfectly medium and I couldn't see the sweet bbq sauce on it but could taste it. The dish is not worth $38 though. I'd rather get a baked potato or mashed potato's than fries for it to be that price. Steak was good but nothing amazing. No ad ons for it. It was pre cut into slices. Did t care for the kale salad it came with either. The fresh horseradish sauce was good though. I also got the frankenberry cocktail. They are very small too. read more

Ginger - Asian Fusion Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I was here twice within a week - not necessarily by choice because the entrees are pricey but I didn't mind because the food was very good. I have now tried the scallop Mac and cheese and the tuna crispy rice appetizer. The Mac and cheese was such a gigantic portion - I knew I couldn't and shouldn't finish it but it was so good! I loved the truffle taste and the scallops tasted fresh. As a result I didn't have enough room to try the desserts hence the reversal of plans the next chance I got. The crispy rice really wasn't much - 3 bites was all - but pairing it with the ginger and pear cheesecake was perfect for me. It was mouth watering just thinking about the food again, yum! The one star I took off was for the drinks: I tried the ginger mojito and the pog tai. They were just ok with too much ice. But the presentation was nice, so was the service. read more

It's been a long time since I've been to Ginger, and I'm glad to have gone back. The restaurant had a limited entree menu, which I actually appreciate. If you have a handful of entrees executed very well, I find that more appealing than a ten-page menu where your meal is kind of 'meh'. We started with cocktails and the crispy pork egg rolls, which were delicious. For entrees, we went with the scallop Mac-n-cheese and the mee krob. The macaroni was cooked well, the sauce uber cheesy, and the scallops seared to perfection. The mee krob was spicy and flavorful. Super hearty portions of both. Our waiter was very nice and took good care of us as we lingered over our meal. Definitely an enjoyable experience! read more

Very clean, cute restaurant, with delicious food. As an appetizer we got the pork fried eggrolls, everyone liked them. For dinner I ordered the Kobe cheeseburger add jalepenos (yum!) and my parents got the scallops mac n cheese, they said it was the best they've ever had. My server had a warm personality and no one's drink got below 1/2 ways before being refilled. I will be back, there's more on the menu I want to try! read more

Anchorage isn't, perse, a haven for vegetarians so when you find a nice spot that at least has something on the menu it's worth a try. The vegan curry on their menu is what brought my wife and me in to this spot, one of the nicer restaurants in town. The cocktail menu was also enticing with great names and combinations of things begging to be sampled. I started with the Carthusian Coconut Cocktail. This was generally disappointing both in look and taste...Filling up about about a third of a cocktail glass it looked like more of a shot of a clear spirit with a lemon peel included. With all kinds of fun things listed in the menu that were included it ended up tasting like water down Mezcal without really any discernable coconut or other flavors listed in the drink's ingredients. Our server offered to fix or replace it but after he came back with a report from the bartender that "any modifications would ruin the drink" I opted to stick with water and my entree. We both got the vegan curry with no modifications. It tasted great and was filling, served over rice. Looked beautiful too. I would have liked it a tiny bit more spicy as it was on the mild side of things. There weren't any other vegetarian mains on the menu but the curry was filling enough. Our server had a great sense of humor, took care of us well, and didn't charge us for the drink which we sent back. I wish there were more vegetarian options on the menu and would hesitate to try another drink after the bartender's declaration about the one we sent back. read more

Didn't need to make reservations Saturday at 6pm. Place was 50% full. Waiter was very kind. Plum wine was very sweet. Like a Moscato wine. Quite a lot for $8. About 5 shots. Fried chicken was 10/10. Boneless. Great breading and not spicy. Ribs were sooooo tender. Sauce was not spicy, or too sweet. But Very red. 9/10. Sesame ginger salad was great 10/10. read more

Ginger remains a classic staple in downtown Anchorage - and for good reason. The food is consistent and delicious, the waitstaff is kind, and the drink menu is solid. Although I wish they changed up their menu more often, I enjoy myself every time I dine here and I'd recommend it to anyone! read more

Ginger - Seared Ahi Tuna - Asian Fusion Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Wow I am honestly mad at myself for not coming here sooner! WTF this is a hidden gem! Good beers, full bar and phenomenal food! Meet the owner and he is amazing, caring and kind and genuinely cares. The place is well kept and just so cool. They even have some photos taken by a local photographer Shalem. The gingerbread man in the toaster with another one laughing maniacally is amazing. The food was just stupid good i got the General Tsoanders Chicken how will i ever try anything else after eating this. I could go back and eat this day in and day out! My beautiful wife see photo. Got the Mac and Cheese so good. Honestly get this and then use a noodle to scrape the bottom of General Tsoanders Chicken and get that sauce. It's so good together. We got the green tea crème brûlée. It was great. Wish i had a second stomach sometimes today was one of those times. Wish we could have had more. We will be back again and again! next time we will hit up the bar to try some of the appetizers that just looked smoking good! read more

I sat at the bar and had a local beer on tap. Saison was a good recommendation by the bar tender. I ordered 2 appetizers, tuna Tower and spring rolls. Both was great tasting with nice presentations. I didn't have to wait long before the food came. Server was very polite. I ordered dessert as well, Banana's Foster Eggroll. That was very good and the presentation was nice. I definitely would come again. The restaurant is very nice, ambiance was perfect. Everyone there seemed to be having a great time. read more

We arrived early and we're seated immediately. Our daughter brought roses for our table which started our night very nicely. Waitress was very attentive and our dinner and drinks were lovely. Dessert came out with a flair of being special, they wrote Happy Anniversary on the platter it was served on. All in all a very special night for us. read more

Great experience at Ginger while visiting Anchorage! The bar side seemed to be open seating. Service was a bit slow on this side, but likely due to the bar. Ambiance was chic and modern. Cocktails: Strong and delicious Food: presentation was nice, good portion sizes, and tasty selections. Ordered the spicy tuna tower (fresh ahi, but could've used more marinate / flavor), chicken wings (delicious sauce and 9 wings), chicken lettuce wraps (good flavor and texture with curry sauce), tacos (from the bar menu, pretty large and delicious), and the fresh spring rolls (cilantro jalapeño sauce was great and not too spicy). Reasonably priced for the quality and portion sizes. read more

My husband and I will not be going back to Ginger!! The service was terrible. Our server was Mason, and it took 10 minutes to get our drink order while he was taking our order. My husband could smell alcohol on his breath as he slurred his words, so he asked to speak to the manager. As he turned around to point at her, she was back there with the bartenders taking a shot. We did not get our drinks or food. We left and will never be coming back! read more

We walked in with no reservations to a very crowded restaurant as it was a Friday night and the day before the start of the Iditarod. We were told there was a 30-45 minute wait but we could go to the stand up bar and order drinks and appetizers. We were quickly greeted upon arrival and the waitress took our order for the mu shu tacos and bulgogi nachos. Just a few minutes later, a table was ready for us. Our new waiter came quickly and took our order for panang curry to be shared. He offered to bring it in two bowls. Our appetizers came soon after and we immediately regretted our entree order. The portions were huge! However, they were all delicious and good. Our waiter Riley was excellent. Great dinner and an enjoyable experience. read more

If you're looking for a modern restaurant with a great menu, then this is the perfect place. This restaurant has tasteful food with great flavor. The design and aesthetic is modern and up to date with a warm feel. The cuisine is Asian styled. The General Tsoanders is easily the best fried chicken I've ever had in my life. It is seasoned well, served over jasmine rice and pickled ginger-habanero cucumbers. Highly recommend, 5/5. Spicy Tuna tower for the appetizer was another great dish. The wasabi aioli is a great compliment alongside the fresh tuna and fried wonton crisps. Definitely recommend, 4/5. The crispy risotto Gouda balls were fine. There was a great crunch and flavor from the sweet chili aioli. The risotto itself was flavorless. Recommend, 3/5. The drinks, both times, were good. I had a Spanish coffee as a pick me up and it was very tasteful. Drinks, 5/5 recommend. The service was really good, the staff seemed friendly both times and were able to assist me with prior reservations requests. Overall, I would recommend Ginger to all who are local and are visiting, it's a must visit! read more

I wrote a previous review based on in-car dining experience. On this occasion, it's my Birthday, and wanted to come and dine-in at Ginger, having had such beautiful food from them last time. We had made a reservation, and were greeted very nicely by the hostess, and taken to a table - it would not have been my 1st choice for a table, as it was kind of behind a barrier. Husband looked a bit disgruntled by it to be honest. Our server offered to seat us at another table, but we'd already gotten settled by then - but I'm giving her extra points for offering. I got a house-made ginger ale, which caused great consternation when i elected to have it with no ice. It was recommended that i have it on ice. I told them that, as an English person, our default is "no ice in drinks" yeah yeah #sorrynotsorry #ilikewhatilike and she brought it with no ice for me, but also brought some ice in a glass *just in case* I'm just saying, it was perfect as is, un-iced. I ordered the strawberry chili salad, which has candied walnuts, strawberries, onions, butter leaf hearts in a sweet chili cilantro dressing - the dressing was to die for, however, I'd have liked a bigger salad. I also ordered the Pommes Frites - another Englishism - in England, salad and fries often come together as your side, and i love them served together, and I do in fact dump my fries on top of my salad. They each enhance the other's flavours. The Pommes Frites are served with a Wasabi Aioli dip. Last time i had this dip, the wasabi wasn't nearly as noticeable, but on this occasion, it was a better nostril hit. I love wasabi, and it was evident in the aioli. Not overpowering but you knew it was there. Husband got the Panang Beef Curry. May i just say - it was absolutely fantastic, and I'll be having it next time. He let me try some, while he bummed some of my fries, and i did not want to hand it back to him. Absolutely superbly balanced flavours in that sauce, creamy, yet tangy, richly layered, and addictive. I know I will be dreaming about it, till i can go back and have some all to myself. The beef was tender. The vegetables, mushrooms, peanuts, bean sprouts - all retained texture, and were cooked perfectly. This tasted highly authentic to me. Panang is something i often get in Thai restaurants, but this has BY FAR been my favourite. The complexity of the flavour. Perfectly seasoned. Excellent vegetable texture. Superb. As you know (if you read my reviews) I'm not a dessert person, i rarely eat sweet things. I can get fat really well on savoury alone. There was a tempting sounding bananas foster egg roll. When i eat a dessert, it will almost always be banana based. But still, i was too full. If i ever get a dessert here, it will be that one. Service was excellent, and very attentive. The food came out pretty fast. Love it. read more

I celebrated my birthday with my husband and we dined at Ginger. Price was affordable, ambiance was good and the customer service was top tier. Our server was Kerry and he was a very well rounded individual who not only gave us recommendations re the menu but also exploring the outskirts of Alaska. It was a very busy night for him as he serviced multiple tables simultaneously nonetheless, he made us feel like we were the only ones there and that our business mattered. I ordered the curry beef pang and there's this coconut rum punch with passion fruit made my night. I had two cups read more

Everything we ate were bomb!! Let me first start off by telling you that you should make a reservation, especially on weekends. We decided to change our dinner plans to have it at Ginger very last minute, so we ended up having to just find a table on the bar side. it's definitely harder to get a table if you are going with a group of more than 2 people. We had to cram four people into a small little bistro table. We started off with the wings, which came with six pieces. It was very tasty. I was not that impressed with the blue cheese dip, but it's OK, because I didn't even need it. We also ordered the Thai chicken lettuce wrap. Tasted pretty good, as well, but it was a little harder to eat. The butter lettuce can only hold so many ingredients. For entrées, my Panang beef curry was super flavorful. I could eat that curry sauce by itself. I highly recommend it. It's also not that spicy. My husband got the Mee Krob, which was a vermicelli, rice noodle dish. That was also very delicious. For me, his meal was slightly spicier than mine. Of course, we could not leave without trying the desserts. We definitely looked into the depths of our belly to make room. Green tea crème brûlée was wonderful, not too sweet, very creamy and had a real Matcha flavor. If you love chocolate, you have to try the chocolate mousse. It was so decadent and smooth. There's also Cheesecake egg roll, perfection! Overall, we will definitely go back. This is one of our top restaurants here in Anchorage. read more

My boyfriend and I were excited to eat here for a Friday date night and had a reservation for 9:15. We were promptly seated and proceeded to be ignored for 40 minutes. Meanwhile there was a table of five next to us and others who had been seated after us who had already been served food and we hadn't even been spoken to. We left and went to Whiskey & Ramen who sat us and served us immediately, with no reservation (I'd really recommend it) read more

After browsing thru some Yelp pics, I knew we had to go here! This was one of few fusion restaurants in Anchorage, but they aced it. Though not TOO fancy, the place had a cool, minimalist vibe. We started with the Chicken Lettuce Wraps, which had an amazing Curry flavor. SO delish! My husband tried their Kobe Cheeseburger, and I chose this unusual "Mee Krob dish. Well, my husband really liked his choice (loved the burger, but not the greasy fries)...and well, I LOVED my choice! This Thai inspired dish was spectacular actually. It tasted phenomenal! Actually, the picture didn't do justice. It was such a large dish, for one...and nicely presented too. Honestly, I can't even remember the service...but just the food. So damn good!! I've had several stellar meals in Anchorage, but this "Mee Krob" dish was possibly my favorite in Anchorage? read more

The service was great, the ambience is fine, but the food is really underwhelming. My wife got the scallop Mac and cheese and I got the duck beast. The french fry appetizer was the best part of our meal. Both our entires were insanely under seasoned to the point where they were basically bland. My duck best was supposed to come with a red wine sauce but there was the amount that could cover up a nickel for the whole plate and the bok choy was undercooked. This might have been a one off, but I don't plan to come back anytime soon. read more

Just got home from a 60th anniversary celebration with 13 family members coming in from out of town. Risking sounding a bit snobby, our party was made up of folks from NYC, LA and Palm Beach, and we were hopeful but not especially optimistic about dinner in Anchorage, AK - not necessarily known as a culinary hotspot. Man, were we wrong. Every single one of us was positively blown away by everything at Ginger. From the friendly, warm reception to the expert service, the fun, accommodating team to the slick decor, everything was top notch. But the food... Oh wow, the food was jaw-droppingly good. Just way above the bar excellent. Original, interesting, eclectic and unique dishes expertly prepared, gorgeous presentation, and just downright delicious. With wild combinations of flavors I would never have thought of that just melded perfectly together, combinations I've never seen anywhere else, unique takes on familiar dishes, and world class preparation of tried and true standards, nothing that came across our plates was anything but stellar. The crispy rice and spicy tuna tartare starter was just the right amount of heat and crispness to go with the texture of the very fresh tuna, the sesame ginger Caesar was a really unique and interesting take on an old standard, the general tso's Nashville chicken was possibly the best fried chicken dish I've ever had - chickpea flour breading was an innovative choice that paid off in spades and the addition of Nashville spice to the expected Asian flavors just put it over the top. But the first course was a soup of the day - a pistachio, ginger, mint puree concoction that just sent everyone over the moon - bowls were being repeatedly passed around the table because no one wanted anyone to get away without trying it... It was the perfect start to set the tone for what ended up being the perfect meal and the perfect evening. Whatever they are doing back of house at Ginger, they've found a way to make a magical little spot where everything landed right, and I couldn't recommend a visit any higher no matter where or when you are looking for a fantastic dining experience. Oh - and an expertly designed wine list with very unique selections was just icing on a perfect cake. 5 stars with an A+ topping. read more

We stopped in for appetizers and drinks, and Ginger really delivered. From the bar menu, we enjoyed the mu shu tacos and the soba noodles, but the broccoli tacos were the star. The ginger mojitos were great. Perhaps the only weak spot was a lackluster Old Fashioned. (Sorry, without cherries, it's just not right.). read more

We had dinner here one night during our stay in Anchorage, and this was the best food we had in Anchorage. The service was equally great. We started with Sweet & spicy crispy pork eggrolls, and soup of the day. The soup of the day was Ginger coconut, and was amazing. The pork eggrolls were great too. We then got Duck pad thai, and Poke bowl. I loved the poke bowl, it was soooo good, the ingredients were very fresh and it all went well together. Duck pad thai was good too.

Underrated place. Great food, both mild and a bit spicy options, nothing like Thai spicy, of course. Best service and beautiful decorations.

Where do I start? I'll get started with the service. Our server provided phenomenal service and was very patient with all of my party's guests. Despite her busy schedule, she made every effort to provide the best service possible. Although we had to wait an hour for a table, the seating arrangements were excellent and the atmosphere was lit. Now for the food and beverage. The saison on draft was boring and tasted watered down. I was extremely disappointed in that selection. However, the old-fashioned were very good. The tofu and quinoa--red quinoa, pickled red cabbage, sprouts, edamame, heirloom carrots, red pepper, and cashews tossed in a ginger and lemongrass vinaigrette--were banging. This was the highlight of our meal selection, as the vegan curry was so poor that we requested additional curry powder and seasoning. The taste was bland and lacked any distinct curry flavor. Despite my poor experience, hanging out with friends made up for it. read more

Ginger - Asian Fusion Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

They seated us at the most annoying table in the restaurant. By the kitchen where all the servers walk by and my view was the restroom.... We arrived around 9pm without any reservations. The host staff looked at the screen and I thought she was going to reject us as we didn't have a reservation... after talking to herself for a bit, she sounded reluctantly seated us by the kitchen entrance area. I really wanted to walk away after being treated like that but then our server turned out to be the hardest working person there. He agreed to change our table to where we don't have to see the bathroom door or everyone walking by. His service was efficient (considering they are understaffed), and friendliest smile changed my mind and we stayed for dinner. Needless to stay we tipped him extra for being so accommodating. The food.... It wasn't what I thought it was going to be as a traditional poke bowl you see in Hawaii. Full of flavor, tasty but not what I expected. Portion size was large to fill me up. Drink price wasn't cheap but not overly expensive either. Not sure if I would be back here again but they are open late, perfect after arriving by train in the evening. read more
