    I was excited to grab some Thai food. However, I found a coconut milk tin lid in my green curry. Not okay.

    Outside - drive thru & parking lot

    Fast food & friendly service! That's what you'll find when you visit the Simply Thai food shack. You can walk or drive up to the window to order. They will make the food to order right there. There are a variety of stir fry and curry dishes served over rice. A variety of drinks - including Thai iced coffee, Thai iced tea, smoothies - are on the menu. We ordered Pad Thai noodles ($10), spring rolls ($5 for 2 rolls), peanut sauce ($0.50), and Thai iced coffee ($3). There was a lot of food tucked into that little box! The food was good for fast food, nominal for Thai food. Part of the rating may be due to the food cooling down fast because we sat outside at their tables to eat it. They use compostable containers, straws, cutlery, & cups. Environmental conscientiousness is greatly appreciated. Recommended? Yes! This is a fast & friendly place to go for Thai-style stir fry carry out. I'll be back to try more of the menu.

    This is the whole place. There's a drive up window on this side and another one on the other side. You can call ahead too if you want.

    This is by far the best Thai food I've ever eaten.l and I've been to Thailand twice. For real. It's soooo good. The portions are huge too so order one for two people. We ordered the vegetarian pad khee mao with no spice for our kids and the vegetarian green curry and made that was very hot(spicy) for us. They were both so delicious. The flavors of both dishes were full of fresh ingredients. It's a little roadside drive up place and is nothing fancy. There is an old picnic table if you want to eat there but mostly it's a take out place. We called ahead with our order and it was ready in 10 mins. The two women running the shop are amazing cooks. Go go go!

The staff in the restaurant were nice and we were able to get seated right away during dinner hours. The decor inside was very simple and casual. We ended up ordering chicken satay and egg rolls as appetizers, which both were decent. For entrees, we ordered pineapple fried rice (which you have to ask them to add pineapple to the fried rice item on the menu), beef massaman curry, tom kha gai soup (one with coconut milk), and drunken noodles with chicken. All the entrees were also pretty decent and flavorful, although I did find most of them to be on the saltier side. The meat in the massaman curry did also taste super soft but almost in a canned meat kind of way. We were also served water but everyone in our group felt like the water tasted weird, almost like there was some kind of cleaning supply or chlorine type after taste. We saw that they put lemons but there were no lemon taste in the water. We were all concerned by the taste and ended up not drinking any of the water (despite the food being salty and we really needed some). Overall, not a bad spot outside of the water situation, but not a spot I'd necessarily recommend given the price of dishes and value.

Ordered the Halibut Egg Rolls, Panang Curry with Halibut (which is not a normal menu item), Chu Chee Pla with Salmon, and Pad See Ew with Beef (which I have to order at every Thai restaurant I go to). I must say, this was up there with some of the best Thai food I've ever had. Not everything you see halibut in egg rolls, but I had to get it. the panang curry was up there with some of the best panang curry I've ever had, and it came with a fairly hefty portion of halibut. Chu chee pla was good, although it tasted a bit similar to the panang curry. Pad see ew was very good, and it was quite a huge portion as well. Staff here were very friendly despite being extremely slammed. There were only two people taking care of the entire restaurant and one cook in the back. Despite all that, the food came out at a fairly reasonable pace. Much kudos to them for working so hard. Really enjoyed my trip to Bahn Thai. I guess there really is elite Thai food up in Fairbanks!

We got the halibut egg rolls, which was freshly fried and a bit more refreshing than a regular one because of the halibut. The ginger fish dish comes with either halibut or salmon. We opted for salmon and it was overcooked but the ginger sauce was very good. Once we broke down the salmon to soak up the sauce, it was tastier to eat. There were 4 small pieces. We also appreciated the loads of vegetables that come with this dish - strange how much we appreciate veggies in AK. We wonder if the traditional Thai dishes are the way to go here, but our meal was still good.

Because we were the first few in the door, our entrees arrived sooner than others who came after. I was disappointed with the Thai iced tea, it lacked tea flavor and was more of condensed, excessively sweetened milk drink. I could only finish 1/2 and poured out the rest . We ordered 3 dishes and the portions were generous such that we had leftovers the next day. 1. Veggie Tom Yum Soup - was OK but I've had others with better flavor and wouldn't order this again. 2. Chicken pad Thai was the best dish of the bunch but it was very skinny rice noodles. It tasted better as next day leftovers after the flavors marinated overnight. 3. Pork green curry was watery and not green but looked more yellow. We had yellow curry at a Thai restaurant days earlier and thought that curry tasted more authentic and wasn't watery. Overall nice staff with average food.
