    The tempura is dripping in oil.
    Dawn V.

    I had to give it another go because I see so many positive reviews. Big mistake. When you walk into Zushi the aroma of oil clings to you, in the air, and on the surfaces all around you. I ordered a dragon roll and a tempura combo. My son ordered a bento combo with gyoza and shumai and two kinds of sushi. The sweet little server brought a salad and miso. I also ordered a Thai iced tea. The ginger dressing on the salad was flavorless not the normal tang. I prefer the miso tasted like dish water and was lukewarm. I could skip that because I was here for sushi and tempura. The tempura combo came and I feel like the shrimp was from Costco. There was also an unidentifiable fishy piece that might've been fake crab. I couldn't even bite through it. We didn't eat much of that. When the bento and sushi roll came we were disappointed. The gyoza and shumai were , dripping with oil. His sushi was not attractive and it didn't taste good. My dragon roll looked pretty enough, but the rolls were cut very thin and the spicy crab mixture was so creamy slid off the top. I had a few bites and we decided to leave. My overall impression is that everything was very, very greasy. Even the water had a strange flavor. I didn't complain to the server because I feel like she was doing her bes. This was my second time at Zushi and I've just learned my lesson. I won't return. Now I have to wash my coat because the smell of oil is clinging to it.

    This place was awful omg... I was speechless the whole time. I walked in and the hostess said "the wait is 45 minutes unless you order sushi" and I was like "okay that's what I want?" So she sat me down and there was another group there that got up and left without getting their food cause it took so long. I ordered sashimi and nigiri and the salmon and tuna was disgusting. She didn't even ask me how I liked it she just handed me the bill and walked away. So disappointed and it had a funky floral/mothball smell to the restaurant. Go literally anywhere else.

    My go-to sushi place in the valley! Love their fresh sushi. You can see the chef making the sushi at his station. They're the only one in Alaska (that I've checked) to have Inari, which is my favorite. I feel it's a safe bet if you're first trying sushi, as it's just sushi rice in tofu skin. They have no problem adjusting the sushi rolls (my husband doesn't like avocado, but the rolls he likes, all have avocado). Service is great, they're always nice, even if they correct the way you say an item, I personally have no problem with that.

    I haven't found many good sushi spots in Alaska compared to Hawaii but zushi has become one of my favorites. Especially living in the valley, it's hard to find a good spot. Prices are decent and the service is great. I like the homemade soy sauce and also the soup and salad before your sushi. Very yummy.

    This place never disappoints. We are somewhat of a routine visitor to this establishment and for good reason. We love their food! Everything is always great so the most challenging part is deciding what to get. Had crab rangoons, kolbi short ribs, spicy super crunch roll, and a tomo roll. YUMMY!

    I wasn't really feeling in a sushi mood yesterday, when we were down in Wasilla doing errands yesterday. We passed by, and hub said how about Zushi, and i was a bit hangry by then and said no. I just wanted food rammed down my beak instantly, like a squawking baby bird. I get that way at times, if i go past a regular meal time by too many minutes i would literally go to Golden Corral and just start cramming anything down. Not a good thing at all. He says check their Yelp reviews. You can't argue with 4 and a half stars. I didn't even bother checking the menu - with Asian fusion, there's always something appetizing to tempt you. Upon entering the space, i was pleasantly surprised with the dining area. The bar area was pretty, dining tables by the window - always good for people watching. Not too much kitsch going on. I like that. We were given lovely aluminum or maybe stainless steel water glasses, with citrus water - best of all, no ice. An extensive menu, i chose number D2, and our server informed me that I'd save $2 by ordering the exact same thing off the specials menu. That right there gets an added star from me. She didnt have to do that, and i thought it was very nice of her. Instead of $22 it would be $20, which for a four piece meal (5 if you include rice) and 7 if you also count the miso soup and salad is not at all bad value for money, considering the quality. So the Special i ordered was a 4 item bento, with rice, which also came with miso soup and salad. I love miso soup, and this was very nice, not too salty. The salad had a delicious dressing on that tasted home made, like a citrusy carroty gingery dressing that was really nice and refreshing. The Bento plate, i chose California roll, Tempura Shrimp, Gyoza, and Crunch Roll. Two separate dips, one with the gyoza, and one with the tempura shrimp. It was presented most beautifully, and the bento plate, i love those things. The chopsticks also, not your usual run of the mill disposable wooden cheap ones, with squared tips, these were of smoother wood, and had the tapered, more pointed Japanese-style ends on them. Thats my belief anyway. I may be right, i may be wrong, but they were fancier than average. The California roll was very fresh and delicious, what's not to love in California roll? The Tempura shrimp were honestly some of the best I've ever had anywhere. The tempura was perfectly crunchy with moist juicy, perfectly cooked shrimp. Stunning. Gyoza yum, just the perfect comfort food, and well filled too. Crunch Roll is one of my fave sushi, that sauce on the top is to die for. So despite me not being in the mood for sushi, i certainly made short work of my bento. In left only a spoonful of the rice lol. My hub got the Udon with California Roll. We both love Udon, and this was really good. I tasted it, and i love the complex savory layered flavour of a good Udon Broth, and this was delicious, tasted like it had taken some good long prep time to get this much flavour into it. I do recommend Zushi most emphatically. I know that we'll be going back so i can explore more items on the menu. Arigato for a great lunch experience.

It's the first little box you're probably gonna open and it's gonna make you mad. They're $10 for two eggrolls the size of your finger. They were unremarkable and should've been two dollars. I was ready to be pissed off about the rest of the food, but I was pleased. I got the chicken lo mein, and it was absolutely delicious. The noodles were the perfect consistency. The chicken was tender, and I was not expecting that, and the veggies were perfect. It was so freaking good. I was also ready for the sesame chicken to be meh. Or at least hurt my mouth. It was soft, perfect battered covering perfect amount of sauce. Perfect amount of sesame seeds. White rice doesn't always grab me and there were two big scoops in the container and it's the best rice I think I've ever had and it went really well with the chicken. And the last item was a roll that had tempura shrimp, crab, avocado, eel, and then your standard spicy mayo and EL sauce. It was outstanding. The only thing I didn't like was the prices. I understand they're inflated for Doordash. I also understand that Doordash provides consistent and constant business to these places and I still don't like the prices. They are comparable to every other place in town though so understand that if you're gonna blow some money on DoorDash and sushi at least get the good stuff at Jimmy's.

When we arrived, the parking lot was pretty small and seemed like it could fill up quickly during peak hours. We had to wait about 5 minutes for a table to be cleared before we could be seated. Once we sat down, I immediately noticed how sticky everything was! The table, the menus, and even the soy sauce (or "shoyu" for all my Hawai'i people) were noticeably sticky! The booth seats were also cracked. Luckily I was wearing long jeans so it didn't bother me too much. Normally, I don't mind a little noise, but the restaurant was extremely loud. Everyone around us seemed to be talking at full volume, to the point where we could hear entire conversations from other tables. It definitely took away from the overall dining experience and vibe. As for the service, it was underwhelming. Our drinks were never refilled, not even once, and we had to go without refills for the entire meal. I also noticed some of the staff eating behind the sushi bar while they were still working, which I found a little off-putting and unprofessional. We started with the garlic edamame, which was loaded with garlic, something I personally love. Unfortunately, the edamame itself was mushy and overcooked. We also ordered a shrimp tempura roll, combination fried rice, and a bulgogi bento. The shrimp tempura roll was decent and ended up being the best dish we ordered. The bulgogi bento, was VERY sweet, a little too sweet for my preference. The salad dressing wasn't anything particularly special, and the tempura was just okay. Overall, I really wanted to love this place, especially because I'm always on the hunt for good sushi outside of Hawai'i, but unfortunately, the food and overall atmosphere didn't quite meet my expectations. There were some decent dishes, but I don't think this will be a spot we rush back to.

But I was out and about today and saw this place and Pad Thai sounded good so I decided to take the risk. The place is nice inside and the girl at the counter who took my to go order was super sweet, so this is not a service issue. It's the food. It's just...meh. Marginal is even a reach. I ordered the fresh spring rolls, pad Thai with shrimp and extra veggies, and panang curry with shrimp, all to go. Total cost $83 + tip. Ratings as follows: Fresh Spring rolls-3/10 Veggies are sad and not very fresh. At least they put a little bit of cilantro in there but these did not taste like the fresh spring rolls you would get anywhere in the lower 48. Also: that nasty sweet chili sauce that most places here seem to serve with their springs rolls is just...not it. Shrimp Pad Thai with extra veggies-3/10 No egg. No green onion. They gave me 'extra veggies' but the veggies they gave don't belong in Pad Thai. I got broccoli, cabbage, and carrots....lol. As for the flavor.....VERY bland and you almost can't tell it's Pad Thai at all. Panang Curry with Shrimp-3/10 Okay so this was the saddest dish of all, because the flavor was 'okay,' but that was it. Literally ALL you get in the panang curry broth is whatever meat you asked for, thus mine had shrimp. NO VEGGIES. NO HERBS. NOTHING else. THAT was pretty sad. I've never seen Panang curry served with literally nothing but the broth and meat. I shouldn't be surprised tho as this is Alaska, and the Valley at that, and nobody here gives a flying F about fresh veggies. Sad state of affairs. I won't go back.
