The menu, not so much fusion as it is a list of Asian culinary “greatest hits,” has an option for almost everyone.
The pad see ew, left, beef bulgogi, bottom right, and Korean spicy pork, top right, at The Rickshaw in Midtown Anchorage.
The restaurant is centrally located but a bit hard to spot in the Dover Center strip mall on 34th Avenue between A and C Streets. The minimalist, spare space is just nice enough to feel like a treat but with a laid-back feel — implying that you’ll get a fast meal without the fast food vibe. The simple decor with its deep red unadorned walls, and natural wood tables and benches convey the reassuring message that at The Rickshaw, it’s all about the food.
Luckily, I was joined by my friend Justin Williams of Justin Eats Alaska and he helped me with some of these big life decisions. We settled on — well, I wouldn’t say settled — an order of gyoza because “let no dumpling go unordered” is on my family crest. We also decided to split an order of curry fried rice with shrimp, pad see ew with chicken, and a lunch combo — choice of two entrees served with rice and steamed vegetables — opting for Korean spicy pork and Korean bulgogi.
The pad see ew with chicken was another oversized, flavor-packed entree. The thick, chewy rice noodles are extra-wide and perfect for soaking up the sweet and salty sauce as they’re stir-fried. This homey but perfectly balanced dish is topped with a few greens to lend some bitterness to the plate and offset the sweetness in the sauce.
