Silk Sushi Bar and Asian Fusion Restaurant

Beautiful food presentation, well mannered, polite, respectful staff.
I ordered the spicy seafood noodle soup, fragrant and delicious

Enjoyed my experience here. Simple modern layout. this place would kick butt with a couple teppanyaki tables and a full bar if the space permitted… Ordered Lg Saki and Mixed Sashimi Dinner. Very pleased with quality. Ordered another Mixed Sashimi plate and a couple of rolls TOGO. will return in the future. I recommend to try at least once. Kampay!
SERVER: Cha

Definitely my least favorite sushi place in town. The prices are about 15 – 20 percent higher than most of the competition. The service is super slow. Tonight our server went outside to pet someone’s puppy, which is cool. We weren’t waiting on a anything at the time, but then she came back in and came to bring us water without washing her hands. That’s gross.
The sushi came out at a normalish speed, but an order of shrimp fried rice took another 20 minutes after the sushi with no apology or anything. And everything was super bland. None of it was bad, but none of it was good.
Three visits is my minimum for a restaurant cuz everyone has off nights, but this place hasn’t been able to pull off a decent experience yet.
I suggest crossing this one off your list.

Pretty Good Food but the service was terrible, very very slow. Food was okay.

Best food in Anchorage! The service is slow but the food is amazing. We had everything from sushi to entrees. Everything is always fresh and taste amazing.

We went to the restaurant on Valentine’s day they weren’t that busy… The lady forgot about our order. My husband got his food, ate it’s, and our edamame and other order didn’t even come out yet, and we waited over an hour. Very poor service, never going there again

Slow service. Lunch tempura ok. A little over priced. Ramen Soup and sukiyaki are not good.

One of my favorite Asian restaurants in Anchorage. Never crowded, great food and drinks. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

I’m usually in Anchorage by myself. This place is perfect. I can sit at the Sushi Bar and not feel awkward. At the Sushi Bar the service is lightning fast. The sushi is excellent and all three of the sushi chefs I have encountered are very friendly. They offer more than sushi, but I have yet to try any. I like the sushi too much.

REALLY pleased I went here this week. You never know what to expect sometimes when you see restaurants in strip malls, but Silk far exceeded my expectations. The décor inside is chic and modern, everything (including the bathrooms) is super clean, and the service is excellent. Both our server and the sushi chef were friendly and timely with our food and our beverages. On to the food… The beverage menu provides many good options (beer, wine, cocktails, sake) and the food menu is quite extensive as well. We tried the mixed sashimi and a «rice not-​so-​nice» roll. Soup and salad came with our meal– along with a delicious tempura appetizer on-​the-​house. The mixed sashimi was fresh and we were really pleased by the chef’s selection of seafood. The roll was beautifully prepared, easy to eat, and delicious! Not to mention good for anyone watching their carb intake ;) I figure it was a good trade between no rice but having hot sake with my meal. Yum. We will be back to explore more of the menu in the near future!

This used to be the best place in town for sushi but recently they got some new sushi chefs that are just sloppy. The sushi tastes suuuuuuuper fishy and old. The only good time to go here is on Mondays when Mike is working. Mike takes care of his fish and is creative and fun! Additionally, the booze here is insanely expensive!

Sushi was very fresh and delicious. I was a really hard time deciding between the wide variety of sushi rolls and other Asian fusion dishes. I saw monkey brains as an appetizer and I can not WAIT to go back and try it. I’m a fan or weird and unique food. I will be going back soon!

I adore this place. Maybe its the awesome sushi chef, maybe the food, maybe both. Just a nice place to go with a group or alone. I sat at the bar and tried several plates of sushi. The ceviche sushi was very fresh and original, but everything was good — and the sushi chef gave me some extra pieces to try. Perfect little place to unwind and enjoy.

The food was good, but service sucked. Never checked up on me and I had to flag someone down to get the bill. There menu was deceiving after I was charged more for something that said cost less. A family of 4 stood at the door for several minutes and almost left until the waiter yelled across the room to sit where ever, lol wow. I also saw the owner walk by this family and not say a word. It seems the waitresses are the daughters of this guy and I got the feeling they were being over worked because he didn’t want to hire more waiters.

I just moved here a month ago and I’ve probably eaten out 20 days outta the 30. This restaurant was by far the worst restaurant I’ve experienced so far. Our party consisted of 3 adults and 2 children. Our food came out one at a time and no one wanted to eat alone so everyone waited till the last plate was served. Anyway, my 15 month old was starving and our plate was the last to come out. I had ordered the bim bim bap. Or so I thought. What I got was a bowl of lettuce, a few crumbles of ground beef and some veggies and a fried egg. No flavor whatsoever! When the server asked how my food was I told her it would be better with more meat. Kudos to them for bringing out more ground beef and another egg. But I still have never had bim bim bap served with ground beef and tons of lettuce. Not impressed! My friend ordered a $ 10 glass of wine and they poured a splash in his cup… In the end, our party spent a good chunk of money there but we left still hungry and feeling very ripped off.
The only positive thing I could say about this restaurant is the ambience is nice. But who cares if the food and service is not up to par?

Don’t let where it’s located fool you. I drove right by it and then was almost put off by the fact that it’s a dingy little strip mall type area. I came for dinner by myself during a business trip. On a Thursday night, it wasn’t too crowded. I sat at a booth rather than at the sushi bar — but the sushi chef did seem very talkative to the people who sat at the bar.
FOOD: Ordered the Chirashi and a lychee martini. Martini was what I expected. But the Chirashi — so good. It was a large amount of fish and I was so full by the end. Their rice was quite tasty too.

Chirashi:
ENVIRONMENT: It’s a pretty nice restaurant given what it looks like from the outside. Booths around the edges with a sushi bar in the middle (and a TV that was playing sports). Nothing overly fancy or romantic like some places. Good for a casual dinner.
SERVICE: My waitress was really nice and helpful with all the questions I had on the menu. Not too much checking up on me. And nice enough to write out a separate itemized bill which I needed for expenses.

I noticed Silk on Benson a couple of months or so ago, and had been meaning to try it so I suggest it to a friend for a recent lunch meeting.
Although it is tucked into an ugly stip mall the interior is elegant in a minimalist Asian motife. My friend said he had been in the space some time ago, when it was a different reasturant and stated it was a total transformation of space.
I arraived first, a few minutes before my friend, and was greeted right away by the sushi chef and then quickly provided water and menus by the waitress. My friend was also greeted as soon as he enetred, making us feel very welcome.
The menue is impressive primarily shusi and Japaneese, but also had a varriety of other offerings including Thai, Korean and Chineese maybe more, but those are the ones that I recall. I had a miso soup and a Thai curry dish, and both were excellent. We were served quickly, allowing us to have a relaxed lunch break, and still get back to our offices with out feeling rushed.
I will certainly be trying Silk for dinner in the near future.

Had dinner here on a Thursday night and sat at the bar. Took recommendations from the sushi chef and was very pleased. Started off with quail and flying fish roe nigiri. Very good flavors, the quail egg is not cooked. Then had a special roll that was tuna, shrimp, crab, avocado and maybe another fish on the inside with a white fish on the outside topped off with a yellow mayonnaise type sauce and fried garlic bits.

After much Unilocal searching, this place seems to have decent reviews. Maybe I should’ve spent more time researching as this place is just average.
I had the halibut bento lunch special. Nothing that wowed me. It was good but not enough to make this a «must» have-​to-​go for sushi. If you want average than I recommend Silk if you’re near the area. If you want mind blowing sushi… haven’t found it yet.

War sehr lecker und die Atmosphäre ist einmalig… Sehr neu und sehr stylisch… Würde man hier in Anchorage nicht erwarten. Leider kein WLan. Das Haus offeriert eine schmackhafte Suppe zur Vorspeise. Zusätzlich hatten wir Satai Spiesschen und frische, unfrittierte Frühlingsrollen. Als Hauptspeise Vulcano Rolls (sehr scharf), Crispy Rolls und als Dessert frittiertes Eis und Crème Brûlee. Ausser der Crème war alles perfekt, was aber bestimmt daran liegt, dass wir dieses Dessert aus Europa etwas anders kennen.

My new favorite sushi spot! The décor is super clean, updated and fun. The staff is super friendly and fast and I’ll definitely recommend it to my friends! I could see this being a fun place to bring a group of friends or family.
