Chicken Alfredo
Nicole I.

Get the chicken Alfredo. It may be the best chicken Alfredo I've ever had. The portion was humongous and there was so much delicious chicken added! The sauce was decadent and I like that the chicken had some spice and crisp to it. The halibut chowder was yummy but we finished it super fast. Thank you for a filling meal!

Crab Roll
John F.

Food was so good we ate here twice! Day 1 - Swiss Mushroom Steak Sandwich and New England Chowder. Both were excellent, but the Swiss Mushroom sandwich is what made want to go back for another meal the next day! Day 2 - I decided to try the Philly Cheesesteak and my wife had the Crab Roll. The Cheesesteak was also very good, but I think I'd pick the Swiss Mushroom over it (if I had to pick... but it was close). The rolls used for these sandwiches are excellent. I did get a couple of bites of my wife's Crab Roll. Tons of crab (but a hefty price at just under $40). I thought it was good, but I think I would have liked it a little better if it was served warm instead of cold.

Came here two years ago so it's time to update my review. Like last time, I had a nice meal but it lacked the "wow" factor. Last time I got the crab roll and this time I got the butter garlic shrimp. 12 jumbo prawns came in a bowl filled with garlic butter. Three slices of toasted French bread went with it. Last time I got the clam chowder and found it bland with few claims. Today I gave the smoked salmon chowder a try. I liked the salmon chowder much better but it still lacked flavor. Could have had a stronger smoked salmon flavor. Got the same berry dessert as last time and liked it both times. Service isn't great. Was seated and ordered taken but not much follow up. Still a solid option in Fairbanks.

Shrimp Alfredo Shrimp Alfredo

Portions was amazing! Shrimp, scampi Diablo As good as a five star restaurant anywhere!!!

Crab Roll
Joy S.

Tasty is all my son keeps saying... Food was great. Crab Roll was perfect, toasted wonderfully and just the right flavors. My son had the wonton soup and was in heaven. My husband loved the French Dip- he said that the meat was sliced thick and flavored wonderfully. We also tried the potstickers, and crab Rangoon. I wasn't a favorite of the Rangoon but my husband and son loved them both. The chowders were perfect and worth coming here to try. Servers seemed to be in top of their tables, getting food and cleaning things up. They were nice and helpful. Great music and atmosphere. We would definitely come back. A little over priced but the food was good.

Turkey bacon croissant and chowder
Josh S.

Croissant was really flavorful - bacon crispy - fresh sprouts - but I can tell this is bagged processed meat nothing sliced fresh - Costco square ham. The chowder was ok... served like warm so it got cold and gluey very quickly. I couldn't finish a cup because by the time I ate a few bites of sandwich it was cold. Service was great. Potstickers were obviously house made and really good.. but 20$ for 10 is pretty nuts. All in all this place is a solid 3.

Smoked Salmon Chowder

Fast service and large portions. Enjoyed the smoked Salmon chowder and the seafood medley Alfredo.

king crab
Meya B.

Let me just say this is the best crab I think i've ever tried in my life. I've eaten a lot of crab but this one was sooooo fresh and soft it was perfect ! The service was great too really friendly. The place was small but not like unreasonably small. Just normal eatery you know. It honestly took a while to get and the price was about $100 a lb market price but wow i'm so so happy I didn't get impatient(it's not even their fault i was jet lagged). Easily could've and would've got more. Excellent King Crab!!

Crab Roll
Zach R.

We were sat immediately, and asked our drink orders right off the bat, which was nice. The Snickers iced coffee was pretty good. Would order it again. I got the halibut corn chowder and there was nothing too special about it. I wish there was bigger chunks of halibut in there and I added salt and pepper which brought it to life a little bit. The crab roll was pretty good. It came with butter and ranch, I tried both, butter was my favorite. For 36$ I'll pass on this one next time though. My wife built her own sandwich which she says was really good. The restaurant was pretty busy, the service was still good. I would go back to try something else.

Smoked Salmon Chowder
Ian M.

This is a nice and well loved local establishment with excellent food! We weren't too hungry and were leaving the next day so decided to go small and order more if need be. We both enjoyed cups of two of their three chowders. I had the smoked salmon chowder and my wife ordered the New England clam chowder. Both were delicious and hearty! We then split a large order of 12 potstickers which filled us up! I really wanted to try their Philly Cheesesteak, but they don't offer them until 4pm...! Sad face. Oh well. Next time. The servers were both nice and stopped by occasionally to see how we were doing, if we needed refills, etc. the space was simple, nice and warm and a treat to come sit in from the -34F weather outside...!

Smoked salmon chowder and croissant
Angela J.

So I came here because of the reviews and honestly it didn't disappoint. We ordered the garlic butter shrimp it came with French bread. And also ordered the smoked salmon chowder. The shrimp kinda came out looking like a soup lol but don't drink it like one! Not sure if it was worth $25 but it was a good experience. If you just eat the shrimp alone it's good but if you wanna go next level..... butter the French bread and dip it in the butter sauce cut one shrimp in half squeeze a lil lemon on it and put it on the bread... THEN EAT. holy cow Batman!!!! Freakin delish!!!! The chowder honestly I was hoping it would be a lil more Smokey flavored. But it was still good needed a lil more pepper and salt but once we added it it was good. Not like an out of this world thing but tasty. We also ordered a croissant to go with the chowder which was yummy. Flakey buttery and good sized. Cute lil place very quaint. Decently priced. Friendly staff.

Crab rolls were amazing (February)
Angela P.

Chowder house has amazing food and service. All the food we got was delicious. We especially loved the crab rolls (disclosure: we are from the dessert). It was the freshest and juiciest crab I've ever had. The server did warn us it's been a bad season for crab fishing so the price is $$$$, but it was worth it since it came with two. I shared with my husband and a hot bowl of chowder. Pot stickers were also very good. Great lunch! Crayons brought out for the little ones. House made pecan apple pie was bomb!

To start, I am a certified food snob, especially being from Louisiana. I have learned that truly phenomenal food is a luxury in some places... Fairbanks being one. This place however, everytime I have eaten here I've been brought to another world. The flavors & seasonings are absolute perfection, the portion sizes are big enough you can experience it twice, & the price is just right. It was so good I was willing to bet the cook was a fellow southerner, but it turns out he just really has a talent on the grill & it SHOWS! I do not think these people could make bad food even if they tried. I was a bit nervous about the Marley Fries because I'm not toooo big on anything with mayo... but my... they are to DIE for!! The husband & wife duo that owns & operates this place are absolute gems. They are insanely kind, caring, & just down to earth. They are just as warm & soulful as the food they serve. Overall, if you skip out on this place, you'll regret it. You cannot go wrong with anything on their menu!!

We couldn't decide between poutine or bbq so the very friendly lady at the wi Dow offered to do a mix (not 1/2 and 1/3 but both together). It was quite good! Not drowning in gravy. Enough for 4 of us for a light dinner instead of a heavy snack. As expected very carb heavy but there was a handsome portion of pulled pork on there-- enough for all to get. Few oz of meat each and a few cheese curds per person.

I had the hot pastrami sammich with fries, wife had the chicken sammich with fries, daughter had the chicken basket. Placed order was told be about 20 min so figure food made to order so that's a plus,. So food was cooked fresh and all food was hot and the fries where hot as well. The pastrami was GREAT served on a Brioche bun, mustard was off the hook good nice bite to it, the pastrami was moist and cooked well. Plenty of cheese on the sammich. Wife had the chicken sammich should be called a slab sammich was Great as well served on Brioche bun with cheese and pickle, wife could not finish it lucky me left overs, the chicken patty was huge and fairly thick. Cooked well wife generally complains when food was not warm this was cooked well. Daughter had the chicken basket and dam it was 2 huge pieces of chicken an fries, chicken was moist and cooked well hot through out, I hand 1 piece was good and the breading was very good. Overall had low expectations but was blown away with the food, definitely worth the trip. Don't judge the book but the cover you just may be surprised.

I can say I come at least once a week that's how good the food is. They're open 7 days a week and have the best customer service I've seen by far in Fairbanks.

They're my go to meals when I don't know what I'd like to try. 10/10 I love Aurora and I'm always so happy going in and leaving the restaurant.

We ended up ordering beef noodle soup and the duck crepe, which both were surprisingly better than I expected. However, my only issue with the dishes were the veggies used, which was far from any Asian veggies since they used raw lettuce and it was very undercooked and had a slight bitterness that somewhat ruined the dishes for me. In a way I think the dishes might have tasted better without it although I appreciate the effort to add in some veggies. For the beef noodle soup, the broth and the meat was good and the egg noodle went well with it. My friend ordered the ramen version, and it was literally instant ramen noodles (not worth in my opinion). While you're able to dine in they operate more like a take out spot as all the utensils and boxes are using take out and disposable containers. Overall, not a bad spot if you're craving some Asian food.
