Yakishabu Sushi House

Yakishabu Sushi House is South Anchorage's destination for Japanese hot pot, sushi, and yakiniku grilled meats, all rolled into one vibrant dining experience. Named for the two Japanese cooking traditions it celebrates — "yaki" (grilled) and "shabu" (hot pot) — the restaurant brings an interactive, communal style of eating that sets it apart from typical Anchorage dining.

The hot pot program lets guests customize their own broth and seasoning spices, then cook fresh meats and vegetables table-side in Shabu Shabu or Yakiniku style. The experience is designed to be social: each table gets its own cooking apparatus, and meals unfold over the course of an unhurried evening rather than arriving all at once. For newcomers to hot pot dining, the staff is happy to walk guests through broth selection, cooking technique, and the proper order of ingredients for the best results.

The sushi menu complements the hot pot with classic and creative rolls including baked salmon and spicy scallop, alongside Japanese appetizers like edamame, gyoza, crab rangoons, and chicken katsu. The combination of a full sushi menu with hot pot under one roof means there's something for every diner in your group — even those who prefer traditional sushi over the interactive hot pot format.

Located on West Dimond Boulevard, Yakishabu Sushi House is open six days a week — closed Tuesdays — with kitchen hours extending to 10 p.m. most evenings and 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Online ordering is available for pickup and delivery. Reservations are recommended for groups of six or more, especially on weekend evenings when the hot pot experience draws families and friend groups for long, communal dining nights. Call (907) 561-7807 to reserve your table.
