Phở Lucky — Restaurant in Alaska

12/8/22 update:

I had bad curry at a different local place recently and it made me realize how thankful I am to have Pho Lucky. It's the best Thai food in the valley! Yes the prices have gone up but it's very high quality and good portions-- a lot of food will last 2 meals. Pho Lucky is the best and I'm so happy they are open on Sunday's again :)

I've meant to write this review for months, because this is the best thai curry in the valley in my opinion. Never got around to writing a review because we only ever get takeout and I always eat the food before I remember to get a picture of it. We get takeout here just about weekly, and ended up dining inside for the first time yesterday so I finally got some good pics of the food. Their curry is SO. GOOD. The flavor, the spice level, the vegetables. Everything is perfect. It's the best curry I've ever had. Red, green, yellow, panang, and massaman. I've tried them all. Red and green are my favorites. The vegetables they use are local and so fresh. The most delicious green broccoli and snap peas and thai eggplant was in the green curry I got this time. They will sort of switch up their veggies depending on what they have on hand, but it's always amazing and so fresh. Their pad thai is very, very good too. Excellent flavor and noodles. Their spring rolls are good too and I like the tangier sauce. They come with 8 spring rolls instead of 6 like many places...

⭐ Pho Lucky – Best Pho in the Valley! ⭐ 📍 7362 W Parks Hwy #19-20, Wasilla, AK

I’ve had a lot of pho around Alaska, and I can confidently say Pho Lucky is the best in the Valley—hands down. The broth was rich, flavorful, and steaming hot, served with generous cuts of oxtail that were fall-off-the-bone tender. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and everything was beautifully balanced with fresh herbs, onions, and green onions.

What really stood out was the amazing service. The server was super kind and attentive—she even brought me extra bean sprouts and mint without me asking, which I really appreciated. You can tell they care about the customer experience.

I also tried their sesame chicken with rice, and it was just as impressive. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, not greasy at all, and topped with sesame seeds. The portion was huge, and I honestly cleaned the plate and the bowl—I was absolutely stuffed by the end, but in the best way.

Yes, it's a little on the pricier side for pho, but honestly? Totally worth it. The quality, the service, and the portions justify the price. And while it’s located a bit out of the main part of town, don’t let that stop you—this place is a hidden gem that’s worth the short drive.

If you’re in the Wasilla area or anywhere nearby, make the trip. You won’t regret it. 5/5 stars. Will...

Came here on a complete whim, as we were famished and needed to go grocery shopping across the road (didn’t dare go to Three Bears hungry!), and I’ve got to say, this was the best Thai I’ve had in Wasilla, and is easily top three in the state. The restaurant is clean- from the floors to the condiments on the table, everything was extremely clean. Our server was a lovely woman who was very smiley and gracious- when I offered praise about the delicious food, she was kind enough to bring out a bowl of pho broth to try so I could order it next time. The food was fresh, ample and so so delicious. I’m just so impressed with this restaurant. It’s a bit pricier than other places, but given its location, the quality of the food and service, I feel it justifies the cost. Will be...
