"The most unassuming Thai eatery we have ever encountered but rest assured the food is authentic, very well prepared, super generous and reasonably priced. This is not fine dining but you’ll eat very well here. Our favourite had to be the coconut shrimp and pad Thai. The pineapple fried rice (whether with beef or shrimp) was excellent. Brandon who took care of us is the nicest kid around. We enjoyed both the lunch and dinner we ate here."

"We had the cheese burgers. They were large and the flavor was wonderful! Service was fantastic. Atmosphere..
It's in the back of an old bar.... but the food other had also looked fantastic. Thanks!"

"The green curry and fried rice were amazing! The setting surprised us, the restaurant is a walk up window in a bar. They did have tables off to the side where you could eat. Nice people and good food. I’d go back!"

Order the best Bubble Tea near Fairbanks, AK
Everything from Mom's is always top notch. The Chef salad is huge and full of fresh veggies, meat, and cheese. The 10 pc Wings (1-2 flavor) are the best wings I've had in town, good size and cooked perfectly (with SO many sauce/seasoning options!). The spaghetti and meatballs is fantastic as well!". "Bacon cheeseburger was over cooked and dry, chef salad had the right ingredients but lacked quantity, 18.00 for some lettuce and half a tomato 2 pieces of cheese and 4 ham rolls is not worth getting again. I have been eating here at moms for a couple of years and will again. Hoping it was an off night.
