We visited Ray's Place in mid-March 2025. Although they are known for their Pho, we really loved their seafood entrees -particularly the Halibut (Curry Style) and Salmon (Vietnamese Style). We met the chef and she said she created these Vietnamese fusion flavors herself! They are delicious and should not be missed! Looking forward to visiting again when in Anchorage :).

If you want authentic Vietnamese food, go to this place. Food was so amazing, the people were so friendly, and the service was amazing. 10-10 recommend.

Best Vietnamese food we’ve had since leaving Vietnam, and we’ve tried it in many countries! Full of flavour, plenty of al dente vegetables and very tender meats. Super friendly host who has the time to stop for a chat. Highly recommend Ray’s Place to anyone who enjoys authentic and tasty Vietnamese flavours.

I thoroughly enjoyed my Vietnamese Tuna Steak which was made to order extra spicy...it was great! The owners were so gracious as I explored their picture display and they posed for a picture when I asked. I was on vacation in Anchorage, but if I lived here I would eat at Ray’s Place often!!

The most perfect stop after a chili morning. I came as the lunch rush was leaving - most tables were full but most people were closing out - it cleared out by 1pm. I ordered a tofu/veggie pho *(they do not have vegetarian broth). It was delicious - hit the spot. Service and food came quickly. The atmosphere was pretty nice - one side where I sat was a typical restaurant with pictures of the diners, drive ins and dives guy - the other there was a bar with a bunch of ‘crap’ behind it - which was weird so i took a star off for that side. I would 100% go back.

The food is amazing. If you know what really really good fried rice is, this is the place to get it. If you know what great Vietnamese food is, this will meet your standards. Everything was excellent. Next time, I'll ask for extra pickled cucumber and carrot on my banh mi. No wait for a table, but I would have! Service was very good and with a smile, though servers seemed to forget that I was quietly waiting in the corner booth to leave. It took a good 30 minutes longer than necessary to get my check and to go boxes, even after my card was on the edge of the table, then I was holding it up next to my face for them to see while trying to make eye contact. I finally went up to the front to get a box. That said, they were very polite and nice, and it won't discourage me from coming back, especially with such great food that came out super fast. I'm still giving 5 stars on service, and don't worry I tipped you very well. (;

Despite living in Anchorage (basically) my entire, I had never eaten Vietnamese food or been to Ray’s place in Spenard. Thankfully, my 15-year-old stepson requested Ray’s Place for a recent dinner out and I can confidently say I really enjoyed Vietnamese food and loved Ray’s Place. The portions are generous, so go hungry; the menu is extensive, so you’ll have plenty of opportunity to try many different dishes, all prepared quickly and delicious. There are several vegetarian options plus an accommodating kitchen that will work with your dietary requirements (as best they can.) Highly recommend!

I always enjoy coming here. Whether it’s having a girls night dining in or doing my normal pork fried rice take out. Hands down the best fried rice in town & really just the best people. Family ran restaurant, they’re personable & genuine..it really feels like home there. I will happily keep giving my business to Rays & shout out to the owner for the spring rolls on the house tonight they were delicious. Keep up the great work guys, we notice & appreciate you!
