Nestled in the heart of Anchorage, at 4505 Spenard Rd, lies a hidden gem that every enthusiast of Japanese cuisine should visit—Fukumaru Teriyaki. It’s the kind of place that calls for unhurried meals where the conversations flow as freely as the soy sauce.

The menu, crafted with care, offers an array of dishes that can excite any palate.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Brian O'Connor
This is my go to any time I’m by the airport. I love the spicy pork bowl. Medium spice lights me up!

Super TASTY! Our teens loved it, definitely recommend!
We had just gotten into town from Whittier and checked into hotel and were starving. Checked Maps and there were several options so we just started walking. So glad we decided to go here because it was really delicious. Teriyaki chicken, beef noodles, potstickers, and I can't remember what the 4th was. All of them excellent. Portion size was good, no one left hungry and we all agreed we would go back there. Only thing is it felt like the prices were high but that just may be because it is in Alaska? The customer service was very bland, to be honest but there wasn't much need for service beyond just ordering the food at the counter and waiting for it to be prepared. They have a small seating area inside the restaurant. It seems like the locals mostly do take-out as we saw several popping in to grab food while we were there.

I had a bowl of beef soup udon, very nice and hot, something I needed on a cold day and after many hours of flight, and also after being ignored by the women from the Korean restaurant next door when I walked in for a very late lunch.

Had the Teriyaki Combo Special pictured. Beef & chicken. Posting a picture of the 2 page menu. Very good food, a bit pricey (menu price visible on left column in pic). Service was fine. Prices were 30% higher than on menu picture I looked at when making my choice of where to dine.

Food was good. Prices were a little high in my opinion. Good portion. I took a picture of the menu to give current pricing and choices.

Stopped here after visiting lake hood. The food is amazing, but their steamed vegetables consisted of nothing but plain steamed cabbage. Chicken was amazing and the Mongolian beef was some of the best I’ve tasted!
Also, they’re not lying when they say their food is spicy!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Jennifer Sherwin
Delicious treat that lunch special chicken teriyaki with rice and tempure as side choices! Keep take out level to keep juicyness inside box, vs bag.
