Ginger

Ginger brings the bold, layered flavors of Pacific Rim cuisine to downtown Anchorage, offering an elevated Asian fusion experience that stands out in Alaska's dining landscape. Open since 2007, this stylish restaurant and lounge focuses on fresh, local ingredients paired with the techniques and spices of Southeast Asian and East Asian cooking. The menu changes seasonally but consistently features standouts like Vietnamese-inspired dishes, Japanese-influenced small plates, and inventive main courses that highlight the bounty of Alaska's waters and land. The space is split between a casual but sophisticated lounge and a semi-formal dining room, making it ideal for everything from after-work drinks to a multi-course dinner. The bar program is equally thoughtful, with a broad selection of sake, curated wines, local craft beers, and handcrafted cocktails. Private dining is available for events. Monday closures make the rest of the week feel special — Ginger is a favorite for those who want something distinctly different from the standard Anchorage dining scene.
