The Thai food is the style I like, the portions are usually pretty big but it does vary a little. The prices going up is disappointing but it's happening to everyone so still 5 stars. I only ever order as takeout because it's inside a bar
The most unassuming Thai eatery we have ever encountered but rest assured the food is authentic, very well prepared, super generous and reasonably priced. This is not fine dining but you’ll eat very well here. Our favourite had to be the coconut shrimp and pad Thai. The pineapple fried rice (whether with beef or shrimp) was excellent. Brandon who took care of us is the nicest kid around. We enjoyed both the lunch and dinner we ate here.
The green curry and fried rice were amazing! The setting surprised us, the restaurant is a walk up window in a bar. They did have tables off to the side where you could eat. Nice people and good food. I’d go back!
Came to Mom’s kitchen for lunch and ordered the roast beef Au jus. The sandwich it’s self was alright beef coulda been more flavorful and my complain is that they use a plastic to go container for the dip which is a hot juicy broth and since it was hot the broth semi melted the cup and if you’re educated on how plastic leeches into the food system via heat and deterioration this is NOT good, as well as the fact that it’s terrible to use plastic in such a disposable way. The portion of fries was big and they were crispy. The place is inside Tony’s bar, another plus side to this is they are open late. The customer service was amazing friendly and when she got my drink wrong she came out and gave me a free one. I wasn’t gonna complain and was so thirsty I had already taken a big drink and she gave me the right one for free anyways.
Once we figured out what was the correct door to get it we were pleasantly surprised. It’s inside of a bar/ back of the bar so was a little weird at first. We picked it since it was a wide ranges of food and had something on the menu for everyone. I was in the mood for Thai food, family wanted burgers and sandwiches. The Thai food was delicious. We order a curry and it did not disappoint. The portions were pretty big, the food was fresh and all 6 of us with our different food wants for lunch were all satisfied. Would definitely recommend this place to others.
Hidden gem in Fairbanks! I've been thrice now (shout out to Rose Nylund) and this is easily the best Thai north of the 49th Parallel. Inside a local bar, this walk-up window has consistently fantastic curries. The green curry is perfection. Zucchini, bell peppers, bamboo and your choice of meat. Generous portions and excellent quality keep me coming back. I'm sure everything on the menu is great, but I keep getting the curries! There are a few dine-in tables you can eat at after your order comes up as well. I just uploaded the most recent complete menu on this listing. Don't miss this place when you're in Fairbanks!
Never in my life have I ordered food out of the side of a restaurant, like where the food stock is. BUT after climbing a mountain, looking absolutely disgusting and probably smelly we were welcomed in with open arms for some of the BEST Thai food. I live in the middle of absolutely bum f*ck nowhere Illinois, where corn and Casey’s dominate. So this was a genuine experience and I loved it. The tin foil was a fabulous touch to the bottom of the carry out plate as well. 10/10
We had the cheese burgers. They were large and the flavor was wonderful! Service was fantastic. Atmosphere.. It's in the back of an old bar.... but the food other had also looked fantastic. Thanks!
