An Anchorage restaurant is in hot water, after being accused of denying service to pacific islanders. When asked about the incident, Asia Garden management admitted to refusing service to the them saying they "cause too much trouble".

Last Friday, a group of friends wanted to celebrate the birthday of a friend, so they went to Asia Garen in Anchorage on Old Seward. When they got to the bar however, they were told they couldn't come in because some people in the group were pacific islanders.

The group says it's an outrage that something like this could happen, while the restaurant says it is just protecting it's customers and employees.
