UMAMI BBQ (#1 Vietnamese BBQ & Hot pot in Alaska)

I ordered the packet for two people and it was a perfect portion for my husband and I. Not too big portion but enough. Four big beef bones with broth, two slices of tofu, mushrooms and cucumber, beef slices, and rice noodles. I’m satisfied:) you need to ask them if you want chilli oil and chilli sauce because the broth is not perfect without them.

The all you can eat BBQ was incredible. The wait staff checked on us every 5 minutes or so. They brought our request of meat immediately and were quick on drink and side refills. There is no better place in Anchorage for all you can eat BBQ.

What a pleasant surprise! I had no idea how fun this was, and very cool atmosphere, without being wildly loud and feeling invaded. Top quality food - we tried a BBQ plate for 2 and a stone pot soup and both were amazing, and we have tons of left overs! The robot was a nice touch also - how cool!

We went around 6pm and it was fairly busy but they were able to seat us almost immediately. (Party of 2) The servers are very efficient. Food and drink comes out quickly. They also have robot servers that deliver drinks to the tables. The food overall is good and competitively priced with other similar restaurants in the area. I got the Pork belly and the ribeye fried rice (has pineapple, so be careful if you have allergies.) The portion sizes are large. A bit pricey, but highly recommended. My husband ordered the crispy cheese rolls and octopus and marinated brisket from the bbq menu. The server cuts up the meat for you but did not offer to grill it, which is fine for us, but may not be for you. It came with a variety of side dishes and rice.

This place has the cutest atmosphere and even has a robot cat that serves you drinks! The food was delicious. The jasmine tea was so Good! Definitely give the place a try!
