Historic Anchorage Hotel in Anchorage

This place is terrible. I should have know from the lack of costumers that the food would be bad. But I decided to try it anyway. I figured that they had a teppanyaki grill so the food would be fresh. Boy was I wrong! I ordered the teppanyaki combo which came with beef and chicken. Right after I finished paying, the chicken and beef was tossed on the grill. It was pre-cooked! Next came the rice. And it was pre-cooked too. And I'm not talking about steamed rice going on to the grill to made into fried rice. They literally put already cooked fried rice on the grill to heat it up. The only thing that wasn't pre-cooked were the veggies and they barely saw any grill time. So when I got my food I ended up with a nasty mess of who-knows-how old chicken and beef on top of who-knows-how old rice and under-cooked veggies. I literally took 3 bites of my food before I tossed it in the trash. The chicken tasted like leftover chicken that had been re-heated in the microwave, the beef tasted rancid, and the rice was ruined because the idiots put all the sloppy, gross meat on top of it. I didn't even bother with the veggies.

My advise, and this goes for all the places in the 5th Ave. Mall food court, is to eat before you go to the mall. Your taste buds and stomach will thank you.

Disgusting....since when is beef WHITE?!?!? I could only eat 2 bites it was so gross.

Food was tasteless.. waste of money.

I saw them working without gloves! Not the grossest part though, the guy cleaned his nose with his hand and then grabbed the stack of pretzels and put them under the heat lamp. Beware eat at own risk! Who knows what else they do. Also they don't accept cash! WTF! They can't accept a 100 more accurately! Obviously there's to many ch temptation to steal by the employees! They do plenty of small cash business,to cash a 100! Regardless they should have cash to break bills because they are a public store! It should be against the law to not accept cash, in any denomination! Who cares I'm not eating booger pretzels anyway!
