Pad Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Alaska

Not sure if this was considered the best place in town or the only one open, but they....were...BUSY!!! It took a while for me to get help to be seated in the tiny house turned restaurant. When I did get seated, the single waitress, hostess, cashier, cleaning lady eventually got to our table. She was running around like a chicken with her head cut off but she did it with grace and a smile. I'm not sure if they were normally short staffed or someone was out or what but as for the food, we LOVE Thai and have a Thai friend who has even made the food in our home before, and this was sub par. The Thai iced tea tasted like the leaves were reused so it was watered down. We ate Drunken Noodles (good), Panang Curry (pretty salty), yellow curry (can't make a comparison as we haven't had this particular dish before). We saw at least 2 tables of customers get up and walk out after being seated and not helped for quite some time. I took our kids out to the car to wait for hubby to pay the check and it took him another 15-20 minutes. I probably wouldn't go to this...

So I came here to have lunch the other day and to try a new place. The food is absolutely amazing, I got the beef rangoon (it was a first time and amazing) and I was recommended the Panang Curry with pork hot and it looks just like the picture and OMG amazing. I told my wife about this place so we got takeout the next day and she got Pad Thai with chicken and she loved it, I again went with curry but this time my favorite Mussaman Curry with beef and hot and all was a amazing. I love curry but several places here it’s thin like a soup which sucks or its like straight white people Thai which sucks, not this, it’s thick and creamy and loaded with flavors. I now have a new favorite spot, hot is not too hot if you’re not into spicy, it’s probably more like a solid medium spicy. The noodles in my wife’s food were perfect and the dish had really good flavor. If you’re like me and have driven by this place a thousand times, stop and enjoy. 10 for...

I eat Thai food about three times per week. I have a Thai girlfriend, and visit Thailand annually. I think I have a pretty good idea of what authentic Thai food is all about.

Unfortunately what I think Pad Thai restaurant is about is profit. Last time I ordered the green curry I received rice, onions, and maybe four vegetables.

I've tried the ginger with rice and tofu, and was entirely too salty.

Pad Thai is way too sweet.

I've given this place plenty of chances, but mostly they seemed about profit and not quality food. People here are very friendly, service was good. No issue there, but I don't want to pay $11 for rice and onions.

Just down the street is Bahn Thai, which in my opinion is much better. There's also Siam Thai down towards the old Sam's Club, and serving size there is...
