Fairbanks’ Super Delicious Thai Food
Fairbanks’ Super Delicious Thai Food – Siam Square Siam Square – Beats Charlotte, Rivals New York! I’ll say it outright: Fairbanks, Alaska completely outshines Charlotte when it comes to this spot! This place is even better than Lemongrass, which everyone on Xiaohongshu recommends. 🌟 Fried Tofu Served hot and absolutely delicious—the texture is a bit like stinky tofu, tender on the inside but without the strong smell 😋🍯. 🌟 Drunk Noodles Full of wok aroma! These noodles look authentic and taste the part—highly recommended 🌶️🔥. 🌟 Green Curry Pretty good, solid choice—nothing extraordinary but definitely satisfying 🍛🍚. 🌟 Thai Milk Tea Not great—had a weird plastic-like taste 🥤❌. Not as good as the Thai Green Tea at Lemongrass. Tucked away in icy Fairbanks, Siam Square is a Thai food treasure that made me exclaim, “This beats Charlotte and rivals New York!” As someone who has lived in both New York and Charlotte with a serious Asian food craving, I didn’t have high expectations for Alaskan cuisine—but this place delivered a delicious “surprise attack” of flavor 🎉🍛. Compared to the widely recommended Lemongrass, I dare say Siam Square is the “hidden champion” of Thai food in Fairbanks 👑! From the moment you push open the door, the warm lighting, the aroma of Thai spices, and the faint sound of Thai pop music in the background instantly transport you from the Alaskan cold to the tropical vibe of Southeast Asia 🌴❄️. Must-try highlights ✨: 1️⃣ Fried Tofu – Freshly fried, golden and crispy on the outside, tender like pudding inside. The texture intriguingly resembles “stinky tofu without the smell,” and paired with the special sweet-sour dipping sauce, each bite is pure happiness 😋🍯. 2️⃣ Drunk Noodles – Loaded with wok hei (breath of the wok)! Wide rice noodles stir-fried with crunchy bean sprouts and tender slices of meat, spiced just right 🌶️🔥. When this dish arrived, my Thai friend nodded and said, “This tastes like a Bangkok street stall!” 3️⃣ Green Curry – A safe and satisfying choice. Rich with coconut flavor, tender chicken, and perfect with rice 🍛🍚. Though less memorable than the first two dishes. The only letdown was the Thai Milk Tea 🥤—it had an odd plastic-like taste, not as refreshing as Lemongrass’s Thai Green Tea. I’d recommend sticking with ice water or coconut water to cleanse the palate 🥥❄️. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, and the staff are friendly. We visited on a weekend evening without a reservation and waited about 20 minutes ⏳. At $25-30 per person, it’s a great value for pricey Alaska 💰👍. If you’re in Fairbanks and tired of heavy American food, craving something spicy, aromatic, and Asian—head straight to Siam Square! Here, the winter chill is warmed by curry, and travel fatigue is shaken off by tangy-spicy flavors—that’s the power of good food, after all 💖🍽️. #FairbanksFood#AlaskaThaiCuisine#SiamSquare
