Alaska | Fairbanks Food Diary 🍽️❄️

Alaska | Fairbanks Food Diary 🍽️❄️💕 While chasing the northern lights in Fairbanks, food becomes another kind of warmth—a comfort for both body and soul. This snowy little town holds many surprising culinary gems, from Asian snacks to Western fine dining, each bite a unique memory of the journey. Aurora Crepes & Peking Duck 📍 512 Old Steese Hwy, Fairbanks Here, Peking duck meets Chinese-style crepes—an unexpectedly delicious fusion! 🦆🌯 Crisp yet tender wraps hold slices of fragrant roasted duck, brushed with sweet bean sauce and scallions. One bite brings pure joy～ The meat pie here is also worth trying—juicy and satisfying, with a hearty Northern flavor. The beef hot and sour noodles, though, are a bit mild; the broth lacks the expected tang and spice. Feel free to add your own chili and vinegar! 🌶️🥢 At least the beef portions are generous—warming and wholesome. Seoul Gate Restaurant 📍 958 Cowles St #162, Fairbanks, AK 99701 On the winter solstice, I tried their soft and savory seafood pancake 🦑🍕—crisp outside, tender inside, packed with fresh seafood. I was even lucky enough to find two dumplings in the Army stew🥟, hot and comforting, as if saying, “Eat dumplings on solstice, and your ears won’t freeze!” The stew is rich and ample, perfect for sharing with friends. KC’s Kitchen 📍 1707 S Cushman St, Fairbanks, AK 99701 A humble yet fantastic Asian fusion spot! The pho has a clear, aromatic broth with tender, slightly sweet beef slices. The stone pot bibimbap comes with a crispy rice crust—mix it all up with gochujang and a runny egg, and that sizzling sound is pure comfort～👏 Portions are generous, prices friendly, a truly heartwarming choice on the road. Lemongrass Thai Restaurant 📍 388 Old Chena Pump Rd, Fairbanks, AK 99709 A Thai spot many recommend—both the tom yum soup and curries carry a gentle sweetness, mild yet flavorful. 🍛🌿 Great for those who love Thai tastes but prefer less heat. The atmosphere is bright, the service kind—a lovely place to awaken your senses on a cold night. Lavelle's Bistro 📍 575 First Ave, Fairbanks, AK 99701 A cozy and refined Western-style bistro, perfect for dates or celebrations. 🕯️🍷 Dishes are elegantly plated—the steak cooked just right, the red wine braised beef rich and aromatic. Even in the city of northern lights, you can savor a slow, romantic meal. In Fairbanks, food isn’t just fuel—it’s a gentle comfort along the snowy journey. So bring a good appetite, and let yourself meet the delicious soul of this town. ✨🍴 #NorthernLights#WeeklyFoodCheck#FoodDiary#FoodCollection#Alaska#Fairbanks#ArcticCircle#FairbanksFood#Travel
