★★★★★ 5.0 judytramvu · Feb 2026

Only in Fairbanks for a few days, so we’ve basically been eating our way through town nonstop because the food scene here is honestly pretty great. We were already disgustingly full from breakfast, but somehow still made room for Irashai Sushi… zero regrets. The place is always really clean. Every roll we ordered was fresh, beautifully presented, and completely on point. The fish tasted clean and high quality and nothing felt heavy or overdone, which says a lot considering how full we already were. The prices were fair for the quality and portions, and we left feeling ridiculously satisfied (and slightly questioning our self-control). If you’re in Fairbanks and craving sushi, Irashai absolutely delivers. Even when you swear you can’t eat another bite… you’ll find room. 🍣

Great spot for sushi and other types of Asian cuisine! Everything was delicious and the service was great! Definitely one of my new go to spots.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Heather S. · Sep 2025

I had the seared tuna nigiri, the salmon nigiri, the crab mushrooms, the Philadelphia roll and a large hot sake. They served complimentary miso soup which was alright. The nigiri was amazing, the philly was good but the nushrooms were just ok.

Everything was so good. We especially loved the Karaage chicken. What impressed me the most though was the service. Every person in the restaurant was working extremely hard. The place hummed with efficiency. It was a breath of fresh air in a town famous for its terrible customer service across the board. Well worth a visit.

★★★★★ 5.0 Abby Barajas · Sep 2025

We had examen, gyoza, Beef teriyaki, and oh my god roll. All of the items were excellent. Definitely recommend and would go back. For dessert, we had tempura bananas with ice cream. Overall, great place.
