417 D ST , ANCHORAGE AK 99501
The most recent inspection found only a menu-labeling paperwork issue and a dish machine running slightly below temperature (116°F vs required 120°F), which is a maintenance item rather than evidence of contaminated food or active pest/health risk. Earlier opening inspection issues (door sweep gap, unsealed equipment, missing cove base) were minor facility maintenance items, not signs of unsafe food handling.
