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.

Is real crab used in the sushi? Or is it the imitation crab?

Imitation. But you can get real crab for $2

My favorite Thai place in the Valley! We have never eaten here, but have had take out numerous…read moretimes and even a delivery once. Keep going back here. We have never had anything we haven't liked here. The portion sizes are good and service is fairly quick. When we tried delivery, it was a 45 minute wait and only $3 delivery charge. Very reasonable, especially since in this area it's mostly just pizza places that deliver. Never eaten in the actual restaurant so can't say much for customer service etc.

I had an incredibly disappointing experience at Pataya Sushi this afternoon. I went in for a bowl…read moreof Pho (#2, Pho Tai' Nam), and the visit was problematic from start to finish. First, I waited 15 minutes just to be acknowledged and given a menu. Throughout my wait, the staff in the back were speaking very loudly in a foreign language; it sounded like a heated argument, which made for a very uncomfortable atmosphere. When the soup finally arrived, it wasn't even served hot. The situation went from bad to worse when I noticed a live bug crawling on the plate that held my bean sprouts. Upon checking my soup, I saw several small black specks that looked like more bugs. Needless to say, I immediately stopped eating. When I brought this to the staff's attention at the counter and showed them photos, the response was dismissive. Instead of taking ownership, the employee tried to suggest the bug might have just flown onto the plate from the dining room, as if that makes having insects in the restaurant acceptable. To make matters worse, they still charged me for the meal. I am disgusted by the lack of hygiene and the poor customer service. I will never return, and I would strongly advise others to avoid this place.

There were 6 of us, 4 adults and 2 children (3 and 6) What an absolutely fantastic place! We all ordered the combination plate which was a huge amount of food. Even though we ordered appetizers, we ate almost everything.

I was a little put off by the smell but decided to give it a try, but seemed almost everything was dirty. From the sticky menus, to the dirty water glasses and plates. Ended up leaving before we ate more than the appetizer cause we just kept looking and finding more mess and decided it wasn't worth the risk. Seemed like the whole thing was run by one very kind old lady but it sounded like all the food was all cooked in the microwave. We will not be returning here.

Jimmys does such a good job with sushi, bento boxes, lunch specials, etc…read more They have a great dumpling menu. They clearly make everything in house. I go here about 4-6 times per month and order something different every time. My family and I are never disappointed. SO GOOD and SO CONSISTENT.

This was a Doordash order…read more If I was to base this review on the eggrolls it would be one star. So don't get them. 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.

I should've known better. The fact is, asian food in…read morealaska overall is trash, but in the valley, it is especially bad. At least anchorage has a few exceptions. Not here. 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.
