"I recently moved to Anchorage from Fairbanks, which is a town known for it’s amazing Thai food, with many many different Thai restaurants to choose from. I felt dubious about finding a Thai food restaurant here, because I didn’t feel that the restaurants here in Anchorage could live up to the standards of excellence set by the multiple Thai restaurants in Fairbanks competing to be the best. My cousin and I were running errands on a Saturday and found ourselves hungry in the vicinity of Lahn Pad Thai. We thought about getting just appetizers at Lahn Pad, and saving our appetite for a dinner later. We came in, and were warmly greeted and seated. We ordered the crab rangoon wontons and a Thai iced tea and Thai iced coffee. We became enveloped by the smells and atmosphere, and the menu descriptions and design pulled us further in. He decided to get the beef noodle soup and I got the N-4, spicy level 4 out of 3. The appetizer was surprisingly good, full of flavor and the ingredients tasted so fresh. Our entrees came out fairly quickly, and they looked and smelled incredible. The flavors! The tastes! The textures! It was so unbelievably good, the kind of food that makes you want to almost cry with joy halfway thru the meal. We can’t stop talking about how good it was, how it was healing. Soul food. Can’t wait to go back and try everything on the menu."
