Anchorage Food Exploration 1.0 🏔️🍜

On our first day in Anchorage, we stumbled upon a popular Chinese restaurant when we had no idea where to eat — and after trying it, we highly recommend it! 🎉 We arrived at 11:30 AM and it was already getting busy — definitely a hot spot! Here’s what we thought: Jimmy’s Asian Food Restaurant 🥢 Named after the owner, Jimmy! 👨🍳 Mala Xiang Guo (Spicy Pot): Served sizzling with a rich, savory-spicy sauce 🌶️🔥. It’s packed with pan-fried tofu, crispy potatoes, and beef. The portion was huge — and no filler veggies at the bottom! Just more goodness. A bit oily, but otherwise perfect. Cumin Lamb: Fragrant and flavorful — no gaminess at all! 🐑 The meat was tender and perfectly cooked. Not a “find-the-meat-in-the-cilantro” situation — generous and satisfying. Avocado Sushi: For those who don’t like fish 🥑🍣. Honestly, it was loaded with avocado (only 1/3 rice!). The rice was soft, and the avocado was ripe and fresh. Great for a quick takeaway meal! Hand-Torn Cabbage: We needed a veggie dish 🥬. This had serious wok hei (breath of the wok) — stir-fried with high heat and great aroma. The portion was smaller compared to the meat dishes, but tasty! Now… the real test: whether we’ll survive the night without stomach issues (eating at Chinese restaurants abroad can be risky 😅). Fingers crossed! 🤞 #AnchorageEats #FoodReview #ChineseFood #AlaskaFoodie #JimmyAsianFood #SpicyPot #FoodieLife 🥢🔥🍚
