Trendy food spots

Craving something in particular? Whether you’re new to Anchorage or have endured many winters, here are some great places to try.  

These local spots are perfect for students living in the dorms, as they are relatively close to campus.

If you’re craving pizza, Uncle Joe’s Pizzeria off Tudor Road is the place to go. Located nearby is Thai Kitchen, which currently only takes orders for pickup. 

‍Golden Gate Restaurant is in the same strip mall and perfect for your Chinese food fix. 

If your taste buds desire Mexican food, Taco King is within walking distance. 

Further away, heading west on Tudor Road, is Ichiban Japanese Restaurant for those with an appetite for sushi and Japanese cuisine. 

Head toward midtown, behind the Midtown Mall off Benson Boulevard, and you’ll find a number trendy places in this square.

For those with a hankering for ice cream, there is nowhere better than Wild Scoops. Locally owned, they craft unique flavors and have options for those with dietary restrictions. 

Newly opened this year is Sakana Poke & Soiree. This restaurant will satiate your poke bowl cravings and also serve cafe drinks. 

The lobby is aesthetically pleasing while the upstairs is spacious enough for study groups, provides privacy, and features a lengthy wooden table.
