Nuniaq

Tasty food with a cozy atmosphere. We ordered some burgers and the Sockeye Salmon melt. Everything was delicious! The portion sizes were generous too. Our only complaint is a fault of our own. We wanted to eat at home, so the food wasn’t 100% fresh when we got home. It would have definitely been better to eat there (or right away). Not the restaurant’s fault. Just make sure you take advantage of the great flavors by eating it right away!

The food here is delicious. We split the pancake stack and reindeer pot stack. The wait was not long, staff is very friendly and even checked on us during our meal to make sure everything was great-it was. Nuniaq is a great place to meet a friend for lunch or breakfast, and also just as good to take to go. They also have specials that they switch up!

There are not a lot of good dining options in Kodiak. We wandered around the downtown area a bit and the places there seemed tired and the menus heavy on fried stuff. I’d marked Nuniaq on my Google Map as the place I thought we should have lunch. Walking in was a refreshing change. Very few tourists but mainly locals filled the place. You could see into the kitchen and it was very neat. The menu has some nice local twists utilising local seafood. I got the salmon melt and my wife got the cod/jalapeno melt. Both were outstanding. The service at the counter was friendly and the place is very clean, especially the restrooms. Definitely the lunch of choice in Kodiak.

Original review for transparency: Atrociously expensive food for a minuscule portion and severe lack of flavor. Yes the ingredients are fresh but if you have to pay 20$ for half a wrap that is 65% lettuce it just doesn’t make sense. I got a Thai chicken wrap that was dry with almost no peanut sauce. The chicken was cooked well but it’s almost entirely lettuce. The baked goods look yummy and priced reasonably. But I would avoid the wraps and salads unless you have money to just throw away. EDIT: Thank you Melissa for addressing my original review. I believe the $18ish for a full wrap is completely reasonable. When I was rung up I asked the two gals working, ‘is it $20 for only 1/2 a wrap?’ They said yes, that was the price and I said again’ Really?’ to confirm. Thus I confirmed twice with

This is a very nice restaurant with a good variety of dishes to try and is run by locals. There is always a daily special section to choose from and tasty local crabs. Overall, it was a good experience having lunch here.
