Good Thai restaurant. Food was yummy, atmosphere ok, service swift. Catered for gluten free requests and offer lots of veggie and fish options.

Food was good, so about 4 stars. (We had better Tom Yum at other restaurant though.) But service was 2 star, so average about 3 stars. The server charged us extra for tips, because apparently we had ‘too much (12) people’ and ‘used too much plates’ when we didn’t have an option. She just brought it out for us to use when we never asked for it. When I asked for napkins, she told me to get it myself. She never poured water for us. And her attitude wasn’t the best, we expected better. Overall decent food just super bad service.

Excellent food in a relaxing atmosphere. No outside seating but great window seating. Avocado green curry with chicken was outstanding and the pad Thai was perfectly prepared. Generous portions and quick service made this an excellent lunch experience.

Excellent! Delicious. Friendly service. What more can you ask for?

The food and service is excellent. We stop here every time we go to Fairbanks.

On an Alaska tour and on our own for lunch. I love that food of which there is a lot in Fairbanks for some reason. Honestly, bahn Thais food is better than any I have had in Denver. I had pad Thai.... Fabulous! Also they have halibut egg rolls which were also delicious. And reasonable price.

We shared the seafood salad and Sea Bass special in green curry. Both outstanding. Service was friendly and fast.Decor was authentic. You know it's a real Thai restaurant when they have a picture of the Thai King.Love the fact that I had a hard time understanding our cute waitress. Made me feel like I was in Thailand!!

The food was good, the setting and atmosphere were fantastic, but the staff and service are what really made this place outstanding. Our meal here was the highlight of all the meals we had here, including in comparison to Latitude 65 (overpriced, under-delivered) and the restaurant at Chena Hot Springs (food quality was meh).Our family of 13 visited from SF, and we were craving Asian food after eating only American food for the past couple days --but I promise that's not a bias factor. This was actually my "back up" restaurant; my first option was closed and this place was also close to downtown. So I didn't know what to expect coming in.Well, I walk in and the place is amazingly decorated. Whoever owns this place clearly put a ton of thought, time, and effort to make their guests feel welcome. I went ahead of the group in case there was a wait and asked for seating for 8 pple. Our server quickly got the menus placed and water poured for ALL the guests even before they had walked in. But to my surprise, a couple more family members had decided to tag along than I expected so I awkwardly had to ask for us to be moved to a bigger table. I totally expected the server to be at least a little annoyed (she had just poured 8 water glasses and laid out 8 menus!), but she was so so nice and understanding. She even chatted us up and we learned she is Thai-Chinese!We got settled and picked out a bunch of dishes. Everything was delicious and flavorful, esp the crab rangoon appetizer that she recommended. Their dishes do favor the sweeter side, esp their drinks. But I have a sweet tooth so it was perfect for me.I wish I could come back again but we're back in SF at this point. I would've loved to chat further with our lovely servers who were the absolutely best and learn more about them and how they came to Alaska. Thanks for giving us fond memories along with our meal!

everything we ordered was tasty. we had the spring rolls, fried tofu, tom yum soup, pad thai, and stir-fried veggies. service was quick. bathrooms, though outside of the dining area and required keys, were clean. bus stop was an easy walk from the restaurant. we went to the museum of the north and took the blue line.

Authentic Thai food. The best seafood lemongrass soup I have ever had. Packed with shrimp, calamari, fish and crab. Lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves compliment the light sweet/sour flavor. Nice cold Singha beer. The service was a bit slow, but that seems to be par for the course in Fairbanks.
