We know crab legs in Alaska are no different than anywhere else. But we did get great food here. We got red king crab legs, easy to peel shrimp, and crab meat fried rice. All were delicious and worth the price. Our waitress was nice too. Will come back if we get a chance to revisit AK.

Stunning view from the restaurant. Unfortunately the seafood weren't as fresh as others. The flavors of dishes were okay, not particularly left any impression of good flavor. Except the dat of catch, other seafood wasn't very good. We had some upset stomach afterwards.

They had such an upbeat vibe inside! It was nice and fun when just sitting there. Server (can't remember her name) was amazing giving us all the goods favorites popular. Since it was our first time she took care of us well. The Workz had sooooooo much garlic! I LOVED IT!! Got mild to enjoy the taste of the sauce. Wasn't too spicy just a little kick. If you can handle spicy I'd go up a spice! Shrimp wasn't over cooked so it was easy to peel off! These were the first crab legs of the trip and 1000% happy with it! First time having reindeer sausage. Loved it! It did have a different taste obviously so if you give it a try, dip it w the sauce and eat it w your rice!

Sadly, I agree with pretty much everything Daniella A. had to say. Maybe it's because we were at Whisky & Ramen the night before, but the service here was very, VERY underwhelming. This is one of those rare places where I was eager to hear "the spiel". You know what I'm talking about: the little scripted speech places with unique dining situations give you if it's your first time? I needed that here. My family and I studied the website and the menu, and read the Yep reviews beforehand but we still needed some help. How much is typical for 3 people? Should we get an entree? How hot is the xxx level? The is "The Workz!"? Are you out of anything (they were, and didn't say till we tried to order it)? I made reservation on Yelp. I thought we were in great shape when the hostess asked "is it your first time dining with us?" Then our server (who was the same person as the host) was pretty much like "what are you ordering?". Zero explanation, zero chatter, zero recommendations. It was like being grilled on a test. They were then quick to butt in an tell us they were out of things (no AK shrimp), or quick to pop-quiz us on options that were never explained to us. It was a jarring experience. The food was good, not great. The seasoning was wonderful. Unlike most food in Anchorage the (non hot) spices were liberally used. There was BOAT LOADS of garlic. The spice level was really weak though. If you get XX spice level it will be very mild. I recommend XXX spice level if you like hot food. We got an entree: the Fiyah Crab, it was well-seasonabled and tasty. The white rice was useful to help soak up the wonderful lemongrass seasoning that is the Fiyah sauce. (contrary to the sound of the name the fiay sauce, while delicious, is not spicy, nor is it supposed to be) Since the crucial part of the menu, the seafood boil was not explained to us, I'll try to explain it to you, dear reader: You get seafod in a bag. it's in a bag to preserve the copious amount of seasoning. When you get it, you cut it, and dump it into a large metal bowl. You then eat from that bowl and leave the shells on the table, which has a plastic cover on it. You choose from various seafood by the pound. Make sure you ask which ones they are out of, because they are often out of them. We choose: Shrimp Crawfish Snow crab You then choose a seasoning, we chose "The Workz!". None this was explained but I'm assuming it's the "everything" seasoning. For heat level we chose XX, which was barely detectable. You then choose "add ons" which are non-seafood proteins as well as stuff you'd find at a cajun crawfish burl: corn, sausage, potatoes, etc The shrimp was spectacular, some of the best I've ever had! The crawfish was pathetic. Mushy, tiny tail meat. Sucking the heads was great though! The snow crab was somewhere in the middle. The service is really important to a place as conceptual as this. Hopefully this review helps someone out that's trying to order food for their family here!

It's great food. I love the crab! I like that you can buy seafood by the pound and you choose your seasoning. I've been a repeat customer since it opened.

Short waiting time, delicious sauce and see food. We picked the mix it all together sauce.

Seafood fried rice. Shrimp, clams, mussels.

I love their food! Everything is literally amazing! The seafood is always on point! Even the fried rice was good! Service is always good if I get my 3 favorite servers thank you for being consistent on the food. My fave is their head on shrimp and classic wings! Yes! Wings at a seafood joint.

This place is 100% worth the 1hr wait time!!! Lemme start by saying if you don't like garlic this is not the place for you!!! I'm pretty sure they use about 40 garlic bulbs per order lol. We ordered two seafood boils one with ingenious crab and one with king crab! And both were flawlessly delish!!! When they say spicy tho they mean it! So be prepared to have a snot rag! Everything about this place was fantastic the only complaint is they need a bigger establishment!! We will be back

Freaking fabulous!! Our waitress Mariah was incredible too! We will probably have to eat here every time we're in town.

Honestly, some of the best chowder I've ever had--every single one we tried was delicious.

It was the most expensive meal I've ever had. Will I…read morereturn? Not often. Was it worth it ? I don't think so, I've never said that before. 190$ plus tip 225$. 2 people. 2 entrees 1 orderve 2 glasses of wine each 1 desert to go. We didn't get salad Or 2 deserts... Service 5 stars. First class. Crab cake. 5 stars. Lots of crab. Most crabcakes at restaurants it's all Breading or deep fried to death or filler or spice This crabcake it was all about lots of lump crab. It was fantastic. Best in the country!! My wife had the halibut Our table was so dark. It was very difficult to read the menu. She saw Halibut and ordered it When we got home, we looked up the menu online in our Well lit office. We could see that the halibut advertises that it comes with pasta. We missed that in the dark. While the piece of halibut was cooked perfectly and was quite tender It was the most uninventive plating I've ever seen. Dear chef, you can do better!! It was on a very bland pasta Usually, (it was easy to assume) That the halibut would've been plated with maybe some vegetables or on some smashed potatoes or other minced root creation Anybody can make a boring pasta We didn't eat it. I actually started to eat it and I spit it out. I deserve better! I had the seafood cioppino 5 stars It was everything I expected I thought it was a little light on the clams mussels But it was tasty. It came with a wonderful side of crusted French garlic bread that was perfect for soaking up the tomato base to wash down with a sip of wine Pumpkin bread pudding, dessert! Best bread, pudding I've ever had 5 stars. My less than stellar rating is based on the price and the uninventive halibut plating. This is the first time I've ever felt like dinging a restaurant based on price Considering I've had whirl class helmet in Fairbanks on a golf course And at the pump house I confess that kind of blew me away that while the meal was pretty good I've never complained before about how much good food costs Good food is not cheap. I expect to pay a good deal for it... But somehow, I felt put out when I left!

The calamari was easily the best that I've ever had in my life. The chowder was absolutely fantastic. I also tried their beer flight, I don't know if I've ever mentioned beer in any of my reviews, cause I typically don't drink it. I was absolutely shocked to discover that the stout was one of my favorites, with that dark chocolate finish. All of the beers were really good, just a bit filling. Today I sampled the French dip and a slice of pizza, and both of those were absolutely fantastic. Had the calamari again, and everyone agreed that it was pretty much the best ever. Service last night was very good, our server took care to explain the food and drink options as well as answering any questions. He was very attentive and friendly. I went with a large group for lunch today and our server was excellent, she nailed every order and was friendly and quite attentive. Large groups can be a hassle, but she handled it excellently. The atmosphere last night was quite busy as you would imagine on a Friday night. That's why the good service and great food is extra impressive. We had a private room for our group lunch today, and it was quite nice as well. I would absolutely come back here again, and list them as a must visit for anyone visiting Anchorage. So far the food scene in Anchorage just doesn't seem to miss. Kudos to the management and staff for running an excellent restaurant operation and delivering both quality customer service and superior food product.

Turns out, we were pleasantly surprised. Everything was good, and the service was super friendly and accommodating. The king crab was fresh, sweet, and delicious, and the beer flight was a tasty way to round out the meal. Even the kids' meal was a pleasant surprise. Good portions, and the main meal comes with a choice of veggie sticks or fruit, plus a sundae for dessert. We had a good experience here! We're so glad we chose this restaurant to end our Alaska trip. It was the perfect way to wrap up our trip, and we'd definitely recommend it!

It was a solid offering, and could have been better if the garlic mashed potatoes were more tasty (the Alaska Lounge horseradish mashed potatoes would have been a better accompaniment) and seasonal vegetables which in this case were carrots and parsnips neither of which are my favorite (and in my book it's not a vegetable if it's not green) - sourdough bread pudding with vanilla ice cream - 4/5, I love a good bread pudding. This one was good, not great. It was an enormous portion and sitting in a pool of butter? something else? and not so delicious that I felt like I needed to have more than a few bites. I was glad I went for the fun atmosphere and would return just for the seafood chowder.

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.
