About the restaurant
Anchorage is where our story began. Our family first planted roots here as the proud owners of Chinatown Restaurant, serving the community with Chinese dishes for 10 wonderful years. When life took us to Seattle so our daughter could pursue her education, we made the difficult decision to sell the restaurant and start a new chapter.

But Anchorage never stopped feeling like home. Now, we’ve come full circle—returning to where it all started to open Wei, a name that reflects not only our family’s journey but also our passion for food. In Chinese, “Wei” (味) means “taste”—a simple word that captures everything we believe in: flavor, experience, and connection through food.

At Wei, we serve authentic Chinese flavors with thoughtful, modern twists. Our menu honors tradition while bringing something fresh and exciting to the table—for the community that has always felt like home.

Where memories linger and new flavors begin. Welcome to Wei.

We love this restaurant. The food is superb. I love family style meals. We always get the WEI salad and the duck Both are incredible. And we have tried many of the other dishes and they are all delicious. Service is great. The atmosphere is nice. The food presentation is great too. It’s great for a couple or a large group.

About the restaurant
Building a bridge between latin-fusion cuisine, a large hand-selected collection of Tequila, and the personality of beautiful Anchorage. Tequila 61° embodies what it means to blend Alaska with latin inspiration and flare.

Blending time-honored latin recipes with a modern twist, we fuse the perfect blend of spices with fresh ingredients like Alaskan seafood for entrées authentic in flavor and unique in presentation such as our fabulous Halibut Rey Filete or our Fajita Molcajete bowls.

Best of all, our mixologist and highly trained bartenders behind the bar are at the ready to help you find the perfect pairing with our craft cocktails and hand-picked varieties of Tequila and Mezcal.

Using reclaimed materials and unmatched attention to detail, we’ve built a charmingly rustic atmosphere where good food and good times are always abound.

We had the BEST fresh halibut entrees! So flavorful and FRESH! Our waiter, Dominic, was helpful and provided excellent service. The wine and dessert (pistachio cake) were perfect. Whenever I’m in Anchorage, I come to Orso.

Had an awesome experience at Benihana tonight! Great service from start to finish, an amazing chef who kept the table entertained, and the food was excellent. I really enjoyed the Emperor’s Feast along with a refreshing coconut mojito. Everything was cooked perfectly and the atmosphere made it a great night out. Definitely looking forward to coming back!
