    Sweet & Sour Chicken with Sesame Chicken  Chicken Fried Rice

    Excellent service, friendly staff Generous portions . Can't wait to come back. Very Clean

    Egg drop soup
    Wendy C.

    A new place for us to try! The interior is a little dated and dark at the back where the restrooms are. However the restroom is very nice, clean and modern. We were greeted immediately, and shown to a table. We were given menus, and chose drinks. I chose Beef Chow Mein, which is the specific reason i had wanted to come here - i see Lo Mein at many restaurants, but I've not seen Chow Mein at too many. Husband ordered Combination Dinner R, which consisted of Chicken Fried Rice, Egg Roll, Mongolian Beef and Chicken Chow Mein. Within 3 minutes, the cheery server came out with 2 bowls of egg drop soup. We hadn't expected them, though they're often on a set menu, mine was definitely not supposed to come with soup, but she gave me one anyway - so kind of her She was LOVELY! The egg drop soup was very nice - plenty of egg and cabbage, and the perfect temperature for eating. She got her eye on my Asian Hair Pin, which has a light up tea house thing on it, so we chatted about that briefly, whilst she admired it. Honestly, she has the happiest smile, i was very impressed with her. Within a few moments of finishing the soup, out came the main courses. Absolutely HUMONGOUS plate for my husband, and i knew there was very little chance of him finishing it - he was looking at himself the other day sadly, and announced he had moobs, so he's now eating less, and this is an absolutely massive plate of food. Then came my Beef Chow Mein, again, it's a huge plate, and i know that i can't finish this. Both plates are bejeweled liberally with the tenderest pieces of beef I've had in a while, and crunchy veg. Bean sprouts, crunchy noodles, lots of onion, and green (maybe zucchini?) along with a bowl of rice. Mine had a lovely dark coloured gravy/sauce too, it was very yummy. I did my best, but of course i had to get a takeout box, and it's full. I would definitely go back. I've never had such speedy and happy service in a restaurant before. She seemed genuinely delighted to see us, and i really liked that. Excellent service, and good food.

    I don't live in anchorage anymore, but when I do come back for a quick visit, this is the first place I stop by. It is quite expensive and portion size doesn't make up for it, but the taste does. A meal for two can get up to $50 plus a tip. Make sure to get the hot chicken wings!

    Korean sweet and sour beef

    This is by far the best chinese restaurant in Anchorage. They serve huge portions and tons of rice. The staffs are very friendly and welcoming. We've been going here for years and no other chinese restaurants can compete. We always order the same dish. Spicy mongolian beef, spicy kung pao chicken and korean sweet and sour beef. Yummy!!! *they even have a korean menu :)

    Jajangmyeon: Korean noodle dish topped w/ thick chunjang sauce (salty black soybean paste), diced pork and veggies, and seafood.

    Chinese food as good as it gets. As good as the best in SF or NYC. I can taste that this…read morerestaurant uses top quality ingredients for its food. It has the best taste for Chinese food. As expected, the restaurant was crowded. After thirty minutes, it was hard to find an available table. Food is ordered at a counter, then a waiter takes it to the table. Portions were large. Fried rice tasted just right. It was piled high and I special ordered it without peas. It was prepared correctly. Five stars! Pot stickers were good. 4 stars. My wife had beef chow fun and that was five stars and the portion was large. Self serve soft drinks are available with unlimited refills. Strongly recommend this for anyone who likes good Chinese food. Our bill with tip was over $60. No sales tax in Anchorage.

    Genuinely not sure how to rate this place. It was absolutely an unexpected find in a place I did…read morenot expect a Chinese bakery, let alone dim sum. For clarity: this rating is off the dim sum and dim sum-type dishes alone. Did not try the baked goods (aside from dan tat) or the rice plates/noodle plates, which seem to make up most of the menu. And the dim sum is... hit or miss. The bok choy is a generous portion, properly cooked, not the most interesting, but not bad. Spicy shrimp won tons are on the small side but tasty, although lacking in the umami that their better-known competitors (especially starting with a "D") begin with. Shu mai (shrimp or chicken, I got shrimp) were the most average/solid of the bunch, which to be fair, is entirely adequate. Har gow looked very pretty, but the skins were too thick, both skins and filling decidedly missing in flavor. The bean curd wrap was giant, super-sized vs. what you'd normally see, and while the bean curd wrap was on-point, the pork filling was pretty plain. This extended to the lo mai gai (sticky rice), which was ENORMOUS, like triple the size of what you'd see at normal dim sum, and similarly plain filling. To their credit, the quality of the stick rice itself was quite good, and the amount of filling was ample. Finally, the dan tat. Crust was a bit too crumbly and lacking in richness of the better ones, and the filling was oddly wrinkled, like it'd cooled too fast. However, the filling quality was good enough. They were busy when I walked in for dinner and were completely full a few minutes later, so much kudos to them-- they clearly are appreciated by the community, and it shows. Some diners at the table next to mine got the usual rice/noodle plates and many left quite full, so portions are good. Kitchen, as busy as they are, is both fast enough and a bit uneven. Short version: you're in Alaska, you can't expect what you get in 415 or 626. However, don't get too carried away either.

    This place is truly an odd duck. They have two specialties and they couldn't be more different:…read more 1) Chinese food. 2) Big steaks. I've only ever gotten the steak. The steaks are very good and properly cooked. The salad that comes with the steak is one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen. It's a mountain of ice berg lettuce, dripped with white vinegar (not vinaigrette dressing, actual industrial vinegar), and augmented by 3 cherry tomatoes. So, I would HIGHLY recommend that you get the soup instead! For the other side, I subbed veggies, and it was absolutely worth the up charge! The veggies were fresh, crisp and NOT boringly steamed like so many other steak places. The interior is not fancy and beat down. If you want a "nice steak" come here. If you want a "nice restaurant" to eat it in, this is a tough one to recommend. I haven't had their Chinese food, so I can't comment, maybe next time.

    Overall 3 Stars…read more Ambiance 3 Stars: Older Asian Buffett restaurant which has been opened for a very long time. The interior has your normal Asian decor with two Chinese soldier statues greeting you and the entrance. The interior of the Buffett is pretty spacious and open and it has two smaller dinning areas for more privacy. Staff: 3 stars Our server greeted us and sat us quickly and asked for our drinks. She had a "hurried" state of mind but had a friendly smile. Good: 2.5 - 3 Stars With Three separate buffet stations for hot and cold items, it had "ok" selection. Nothing extraordinary. Basic limited sushi selection. They sure loved Philly cheese because I counted four different sushi version with it. Hey, it is easy to make, a great filler to the stomach, and is inexpensive. Great for the business but terrible if you want other sushi varieties. The other stations will have your other basic Asian dishes but nothing to say, "Yummy or Wow"! Again the Buffett is great if you want to fill your tummy and spend time with friends or family members. Price: 2.5 Stars We went on a Sunday, the price was a lot more than expected. Over $30-40 per person. Does that seem reasonable? Not in my book, but it has been a while since I've gone to a buffet. Only reasons we went because some of the other members enjoyed it and no one wanted to cook. Which sounds pretty reasonable to me.

    We have been coming to this restaurant for over 20 years. We have done birthdays, anniversary,…read morecelebrations of life, and Mother's Day just to name a few. We have always found the service spot on. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. They have always treated us well. Tracy has always treated us as part of the family. The food has always been fresh and plenty of it. There has always been a good variety of food. There is always something for everyone. There are their soups, the sushi, which has a good variety of choices. They have a decent salad bar, and a good selection of desserts. They even have a soft ice cream machine. The entrees they offer can satisfy anyone. They have fish, beef, chicken and more in meats. They have rice and noodles. They have tampora as well. If you are not interested in the buffet, you can order from the menu. The also offer spirits. If you seek to host a party. They can handle most request. They have a smaller dinning area as well as a larger one. As I said, I have coming here since they opened 20 years again and never tire of the food or the people. I feel at home here.

Well, the chicken dishes do come with a small container of steamed rice. The price of $20 seemed pretty high up front. They do offer a 10% military discount, which does help. The food was absolutely amazing for the price point. We ended up each having three small meals worth of food. We ended up going back a second time the week after and went with the orange chicken and sweet and sour shrimp. The size portions again were massive and made three meals. Most individuals could get 2-3 meals out of each portion.
