I'm a huge fan of Pho, I've found that most general "Asian" Restaurants don't get anything quite right. Pho is a hard dish to get right and KC serves, Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese dishes, so my expectations were not set very high.
The atmosphere is bright, clean, and simple. The menus are printed in bold large letters, this is big for me, I hate having to squint to read it or put on my readers.
The service is very friendly and efficient. I spoke to several of the staff and from the banter in the back they are almost all Korean. I expect that the Korean dishes are all spot on, but I came for Pho.
I tried it straight from the kitchen as always before adding what I like to enhance the broth. The broth was delicate, it had some dried garlic on top that threw the aroma off for me, but the actual taste was very good. Like all good Pho, the longer the individual ingredients steep in the broth, the better it gets.
There was no fish sauce or garlic chilli sauce as condiments. However, with garlic they added on top and the red chilli paste that was on the table I made it work. Overall, it's very good for not being a Vietnamese specialty restaurant.
Definitely give them a try. If I had more time in Fairbanks I'd have gone back for the...
Read more(grammar and punctuation warning) I was looking for some food for my partner today during their lunch when I came across KC's kitchen. I was under the impression that it was a Southern restaurant so I decided to step in but to my surprise it was not. I thought about turning around and leaving until a gentleman busting tables and a waitress greeted me with smiles. Then soon after the waitress hands me a menu and I immediately saw a dish that my partner would like(ramen) Once I placed my order I waited between 5-10mins during the wait I noticed the Korean Décor and the cleanliness of the establishment; moments layers my order was up before leaving I had some good genuine small talk about the dish with the gentleman that was busting tables then went on my way. I Door dash the food to my partner and they said it was delicious, I went back for myself and the only adjective I could come up with was delicious. The ramen had just the right amount spiciness for those that like spicy and those who cant handle spicy as well as a piquant broth. The drink I had on the side was Thai tea, it was dark as it was sweet and creamy. My experience was of great quality looking forward to my next vist. Until next time...
Read moreEasily the most under rated place in town. Super modest, unassuming restaurant that will make you want to return over and over to try all the exciting menu items. I had the beef bulgogi with some veggie fried rice. The food was phenomenal, the bulgogi was so tender and flavorful with the perfect blend of salty savory sweet and pepper. And the fried rice is like one I’ve never had before, so light and delicate with no soy sauce but so flavor, masterful chef in this kitchen. I will be returning to try the Korean short ribs, the ramen, the pho, and bibimbap, where else can you find a line up like that in town made with such love care and precision. I won’t give any credit that isn’t deserved and I have high standards, and this place exceeds those previous set standards. They have...
