"even when I kick all the memories of legitimately flavorful, vegan thai food out of my head – and I remind myself that we 're in Alaska – what we sat down to at this restaurant is meh, meh, meh. first off, the 'Alaska ' element has no excuse, especially in the summer months when produce is abundant and even gigantic. secondly, there are tons of Thais and Americans of Thai descent in Alaska, and I 've had a good-to-great ! thai food elsewhere in the state. anyway, this restaurant was charming from the outside, and was chill enough inside. we were even able to navigate vegan options (which, btw, does NOT include the red curry mock duck dish, as only the yellow curry is vegan-friendly). that said, the yellow curry was bland dot com, with an almost gross perfume-y taste. sigh. it wasn 't surprisingly that there was no tofu in it, because it 's not the norm in this state unless you have it confirmed, so, it was basically a bowl of boiled potatoes and onions in an unappetizing neon yellow soup. we also had the fried tofu appetizer, which looked good, although a small portion, until you spotted the seriously sad cabbage shreds below. old stuff, for sure. the tofu was okay, but by no means 'good ' tofu, and definitely not freshly produced by an area tofu maker. ah, one can dream.... the bottom line is that dishes are understandably not cheap in this state, and this was not a mistake we 'll be repeating. stick to lemongrass in fairbanks! holy, moly."
