Food: Food was very good. Flavorful, tasty and generous…read moreportions. Spice levels can be adjusted. Great presentation. Reasonable prices. Enjoyed all the dishes we ordered. :) Service: Food took a bit to arrive but considering how busy they are, it is understandable. Very good service by our hosts who patiently responded to our queries on shellfish allergies and spice levels. Thank you so much Koi, Bambi and team! :) Ambience: Nice decor with musical instruments, interesting paintings that remind you of Thailand and they have paid good attention to details on their tables, mats and the menu. Casual chatty vibes too. All good. Restrooms: Clean and well maintained. Parking: No issues at all. Plenty available!

Since the Thai food is good in Fairbanks, had to try another spot as well. Lemon Grass Thai Cuisine…read moreseemed to be the overall popular pick, so I had to check it out. Ordered Pad See Ew with Beef, Gaeng Pa-Nang with Halibut, and Pad Plick Khing with Halibut. Although I thought this was very good, I didn't think it was better than the other Thai restaurant that I had been to earlier in the week. Food was just missing that little something that would make it truly elite. I will give credit to the Mango Sticky Rice though, that was great. Staff here were really friendly. Took care of our orders quickly because we got here right before the kitchen was about to close. Also filled our water quite a bit. Lemon Grass is still pretty good, glad I tried it.

Came here as one of our friends were craving hot Asian food, and it was one of the only Thai…read morerestaurants that were open past 8pm. 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.

It's pretty empty during the weekday lunch time. Food was good. I got the beef pad see ew and…read moreshrimp tom yum soup. They are both pretty good. I like the pad see ew noodles particularly. They put a lot of beef, but the beef is a little on the chewy side. The tom yum is a bit salty for me. It would be better to eat with rice instead of drinking the soup on its own.

Came to Bahn Thai because apparently the Thai food in Fairbanks is actually pretty legit for some…read morereason. Had to try it right? 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 had a late lunch here - apparently it's the 2nd oldest Thai restaurant in Fairbanks. The decor…read moreis very extravagant. 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.

Staff is very nice but it's basically one server at the counter waiting on multiple tables. We…read morearrived when they opened for dinner and soon after, other customers showed up. 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.

We came here just on a whim and it's such a cute lil spot. We started with the crab Rangoon which…read morewas pretty good. Could use a little more crab. Alone it was kinda bland but with the sauce it was actually very good. I ordered the pad Thai with chicken. Honestly the flavor is very good but it was very unfortunate that the chicken and tofu came out very dry. Had it not been for that I would have given my dish an 8.5/10 but because of it unfortunately I can only give this a 6/10. My buddy got the pad kee ma ( drunken noodles) with chicken and again the chicken was very dry. It was also just kind of a bland flavor. Just a little disappointing. If they maybe added some garlic and a little more sauce I think it would have really elevated the dish. One thing I really like was it seemed like all the sauces were house made which is fantastic. I would still come back here to try some other food. But hopefully they can just get the meat to not be so dry.
