Bahn Thai, located at 541 3rd Ave in Fairbanks, AK, is a hidden gem in the world of Thai cuisine. Patrons rave about its authentic flavors and inviting ambiance. The restaurant, adorned with traditional decor, provides a spacious and pleasant environment perfect for families, as highlighted by customer Katy Gracia, who expressed her fondness for the welcoming service. Among the standout menu items are the Chicken Satay and Pad Thai, both highly recommended by Steven Deng for their authentic taste. The Chicken Satay, marinated and grilled to perfection, offers a delightful blend of smoky flavors paired with a rich peanut sauce. Vegetarians will appreciate the variety available, but a note of caution about hidden ingredients in dishes like Massaman and red curry is advisable, as mentioned by Maitri Hegde. The Fried Tofu and Egg Rolls also receive praise, providing a perfect start to a meal. Though service may experience delays during peak hours, the warm and polite demeanor of the staff makes the experience worthwhile. Bahn Thai not only serves delicious dishes but also creates a cultural haven in the heart of Alaska. With reasonable prices and generous portions, it’s a must-visit for anyone seeking genuine Thai cuisine.

This restaurant is an underrated Thai place here in Fairbanks. I’ve tried a bunch, and this one was the next one on the list. It ended up being my FAVORITE! My family and I come here all the time. The interior is beautiful and spacious. The service is attentive. My kids love coming here.

A pleasant, bright place for a relaxed evening. Traditional decor gives a nice cultural touch. Spring rolls, pineapple fried rice and Thai iced tea were top notch. They are short on staff so the wait might seem long but service is warm and polite. Tip for vegetarians: they will tell you but make sure to check. Massaman, and red curry have shrimp paste in them.

It is surprised that you can actually find this authentic Thai restaurant in the middle of Alaska. Everthing comes with what they should taste like. I specially recommend their Chicken Satay and Pad Thai which were amazing. Yet, you may consider an overall waiting of one-hour since they are one of the hottest restaurant in the town. But I'll say it is worth for.

Pad kee mao (drunken noodle) taste very authentic and good. The rest of the food is ok. The price with the portion also nice. It is great to have Thai food in Fairbanks

I really enjoyed eating at this restaurant! The Beef Pad Thai was delicious (especially with the chili oil). The staff were all friendly, and the prices were very reasonable.

Absolutely delicious food! I ordered Panang curry (thai hot) and it was finger licking good. Service was fast even though they had short staff. Everyone was polite. Nice, cozy ambience with authentic thai food.

Thai hot. I LOVE super hot and spicy Thai food. It ruins my meal if I ask for Thai hot and it comes without any spice or heat. I got the Penang Curry and Thai hot was enough to make my nose run and eyes water just a bit. It was the PERFECT spice level. Thanks for the great food. The flavor was sooo fresh with the lime leaves in this dish. My partner got the pad thai and it was good but a bit sweeter than we are used to from Texas. We hear that is more authentic but still prefer a bit less sweet. 10/10. They had a sign they were short staffed but we were seated immediately and the food took 10 minutes.
