Bahn Thai - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

After a morning exploring downtown Fairbanks, we spotted this wonderful culinary gem. According to the menu menu, it’s the second oldest Thai restaurant in the city! The restaurant had the most beautiful flowing flower containers along its street facade that made it an eye catching site in the rather spartan looking city. Inside the restaurant was beautifully decorated with quite a few parties dining around the various tables topped with crisp white table cloths that was a nice touch at lunchtime in a casual town. Now for the food…it was fresh, flavorful and delicious. All the dishes that came out were colorful and picture perfect. We ordered the vegetarian pad pak and it came chopped full of all sorts of fresh, crisp vegetables from broccoli, carrots, bamboo shoots, edamame, peas, cabbage, and a light brown sauce with a heaping scoop of jasmine rice. The dish was so large we were able to easily split it between two people with some left. The vegetable eggrolls were also crisp light and tasty with a delicious peanut sauce.

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.

Pad Thai chicken 5/5 Drunken noodles 10/5 yes it was that good! So many veggies Thai tea - 4/5 as it was a bit too sweet for me! Again I love Thai food and very picky on Thai food. This is the best Thai food I have ever had! Very quick service & very very large portions!!

You can't go wrong with this place, absolutely the best thai place in Fairbanks. Portions are generous and tastes so good. I love coming here because of the food and service, they are always nice even around the closing time..keep up the good work !

As a Thai, this place tasted like home. Perhaps one of the best Thai food I had in my five years living in the US. Service is very attentive and the staff is very nice. Highly recommend their Larb Salad.

Restaurant with typically Thai and delicious food. Attentive staff and typical Asian atmosphere.

Good decor and pricing. Personally, I’d prefer larger portions and more flavor.

This is a good restaurant in town.

Their medium spicy yellow curry with vegetables cured my depression, bad mood and head cold. Each bite is perfect. Rice is fluffy and fresh, the vegetables perfectly cooked. One portion serves two, absolutely perfectly. Obsessed with this place.

Good Thai food in Fairbanks, we enjoyed couple of meals here

Never had Thai, and I was so impressed with the Pad Thai with chicken. I saw the chicken fried rice and thought to myself that I should have tried the safe bet. But I’m glad I didn’t. Put this place at the top of your list!!

Great Thai food! I'm not sure I'm the authority on Thai food, but we eat it a lot. We had a group of 20 and we called with reservations were seated. Immediately appetizers came out very fast and food was right behind it. Great service. BIG PORTIONS #TeamCocco approved

Excellent pad Thai. Fantastic and courteous service.

Great place to enjoy a relaxing lunch. Enjoyed the Pad Eggplant with unsweetened ice tea. Service and food were wonderful!!

Second favorite Thai place in Fairbanks, curries are great.

I absolutely love the soups here! Only thing I’ve tried , but me and my husband had soups that day and they were amazing! Definitely would go again.

Not a lot of experience with Thai food, so kept it simple, but this experience certainly encouraged me to want to try more. We shared the fresh spring rolls, and an order of shrimp pad Thai. Both were flavorful and delicious, with large portions. Staff was attentive and kept our water glasses filled.

pretty decent until halfway through and I found this little guy in my food. Asked the waiter hoping it would be a baby Shrimp but he said it is a grasshopper from the vegetables.

Best and most authentic Thai restaurant in downtown Fairbanks. Prices on par with most other local restaurants in the area. Relaxing atmosphere with great street level window views of 3rd st. Excellent service and wonderful food. You can't go wrong at Bahn Thai. Tell em Puff sent you.

Great food, excellent service, beautiful dining room. They have my favorite spring rolls that I’ve ever tried, and their drunken noodle dish was super yummy as well. Also our waitress was fantastic.

Top notch Thai Food. Recommend to try MASSAMAN curry, Fried Rice and Pad Thai. Food and Ambience are excellent. However service could be better. They were operating with very few staffs and hence it took while to bring food. Otherwise, a very good restaurant to try in FAIRBANKS.

Beautiful restaurant, service was quick and very attentive. The food was incredible. Ordered the panang curry, tom ka soup and pad see ew and they were all 10/10. The spring rolls were also incredible and big enough portion for 3 or 4 to share. Best food I've had in Alaska through a week long journey!

Loved their spicy catfish and chicken panang curry! 😋

This is a great spot in the downtown area for Thai food. We had the pad cashew and the massaman curry. Both tasted delicious. All items were reasonably priced as well. The service is a little slow though but that didn't bother us much.

My family and I tried this place on a recent trip to Fairbanks. We loved the food. The Thai flavors are authentic and the service is pretty good and quick which worked for us since we came in pretty hungry. The staff is polite and friendly. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone visiting Fairbanks

Excellent place! Everything is perfect, delicious and abundant food, very pleasant service, beautiful decoration and super central in Fairbanks. We ate Ad Thai, Fried Rice with chicken and pineapple and drank hot tea, everything was spectacular. I already want to come back to try more dishes 💓

I enjoyed the food and the spaciousness of the room. There was good portions and at a reasonable price.

Excellent Thai restaurant. The staff was very attentive and the food was delicious. Perfect choice. Free 2 hour street parking right in front.

This place is usually good but I guess that has changed. They got my order wrong and refused to fix the problem. My order was Chew chicken, fresh spring roll and Neuua Yaang beef. Went inside, paid and when I got home to serve dinner I noticed my Neuua Yaang beef was not there but a red curry sauce with beef in it. I called and informed them of this mistake and they refused to fix this mix up. The lady said we can prepare that for you but you are going to haft to pay. I was baffled by this answer and told them I'm not gonna pay for a mess up they did. All I got was a sorry and left it at that. Sadly they lost a customer and I won't be coming back.

everything was great and the fish plates are adorable! i have just one comment: the sign about being fined if you enter and you're <21 on the entrance door is in a strange place if it only refers to ordering alcohol.

Dish is pretty good but lack authentic flavor. The service is really lacking, the server never came to serve our table unless we wave at them a few times

This place serves great food and a great atmosphere. A little short staffed but thats everywhere. The pad thai and pineapple curry fried rice was delicious!

What a treat! Fab Thai food in the heart of Fairbanks.

In the heart of this remote Alaskan city, Bahn Thai is a hidden gem showcasing exquisite Thai cuisine. From the moment I stepped inside, the impeccable service and inviting atmosphere made me feel like an honored guest. The menu offers a tantalizing selection of Thai delights, from fragrant green curry to spicy pad thai. Each dish was a harmonious blend of flavors and textures, crafted with precision by skilled chefs. The attention to detail and genuine passion for Thai cuisine shone through in every aspect of the dining experience. For an unforgettable journey through the vibrant flavors of Thailand, Bahn Thai is the ultimate destination in Alaska's wilderness. Thank you Yuii and Achi for your hospitality.

Mind blowing food! Every bite was delicious and they have a wide range of vegetarian options. Tofu was grilled, and beautifully golden. Will definitely come one more time before leaving town!

We had a large group come here and they were great about handling all of us. We returned a second time as we enjoyed the food a lot! Great prices for huge meals. Seems Alaska does everything BIG!!!

My fiancé and I went to this restaurant on our Alaska tour, as a part of the itinerary, and we absolutely loved it! It is one of the top-rated Thai restaurants in Fairbanks and is a local favourite. Our waitress was so lovely. She took care of our entire group, which consisted of 12 people, and was so kind and knowledgeable of the menu. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated with Thai imagery including wooden carved elephants, Buddhist gods, statues, a partition, and plants. For an appetizer, I shared their Chicken Curry puffs with my fiancé. For my main, I got their Drunken Noodles with Scallops, and it was delicious! The portion was enormous, so I gladly had leftovers for the next day. It was cooked in their scrumptious Thai Brown Sauce, and the scallops were cooked perfectly. Their lemonade was also lovely and refreshing. This Thai restaurant is a great place for a family gathering or date night out, and I really enjoyed my meal here!

Good service, good quality-quantity and price ratio.

Nice hot thai food in below 0 place

This is a great place for delicious Thai food. The service was a little slow due to being under staffed. The food was incredible, I ordered the yellow curry chicken. This is a must stop on your Fairbanks Alaska adventure.

I don’t eat at the same place twice when I travel but this was honestly the best Thai food I’ve ever had and that’s coming from a Seattle/San fran native. We HAD to go back again before I left. Highly recommend!!

Good sized portions, great flavor and lots of protein. Try the pineapple curry! The service is fast and friendly. Location is super convenient as well.

3 stars only because they do not have an option for cup of soup, only bowl. However, this place is definitely 4-4.5 star thai restaurant. FOOD: ordered the daily special, avocado curry thai hot. Had plenty of chicken and avocado. Fantastic sauce and lots of food. However, not spicy enough for me considering I ordered hottest curry available. LOCATION: downtown with plenty of parking around. Easy to find. PRICE: around $15. Priced fair to good in my opinion. Would definitely comeback again.

Best customer service in Fairbanks.

Food was pretty good but the service was God awful. I had a party of 4 and they just seemed to want to rush and push us out as fast as they could. Lots of dirty looks from the staff as well. We were polite, tipped well, dressed appropriately and they were not even that busy. You could probably find somewhere better to eat around town.

Amazingly good Thai food. Totally worth flying to Fairbanks for.

The service was great, food was fresh and tasty. What more could you want? Also, I left my hat there and they returned it to me after I'd left Fairbanks!

Nice thai restaurant. Great food and nice staff.

I’ve traveled all over and this is some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had. We had the red curry, Tom yum soup and the pad Thai. Just delicious. The portions are amazing and the women who served us were all very sweet. Coming here in one of the highlights when we’re in Fairbanks.

Hands down one of the most authentic experience one can get in the States. Everything I ordered was great - from the appetizers to the main course. The service is nice too and the staff is extremely warm. I’d definitely recommend this place if you’re in town :)

We called in and placed a phone order as we we’re scheduled to reach few minutes before their closing time, they kindly obliged and waited for us to be done, very nice of the staff :) Now coming to the food, it was perfectly done and the best meal we had in Fairbanks! Undoubtedly one of the best Thai restaurants we’ve ever been to and highly recommend the spicy basil fried rice, green curry and Tom kha.

Worst food we have ever gotten here. Too long to wait..people had to leave before they got food. 1 hour and they had to be back on bus. Ladies very nice..just way in over their heads. Sorry..this use to be one of my favorites. O well!

great taste avocado green curry with chicken and basil, Thai iced coffee is delicious, so as halibut egg rolls updated 08/21/23 food as great as always, we had shrimp egg roll, fried tofu, grilled beef and pineapple curry this time, the protein is generous and service is quick and friendly 💚

This is the best Thai restaurant I have ever been. All 4 of us had different dishes and all 4 of us loved it. Everything was fresh and spiced wonderfully. The service was perfect. Within easy walking distance from our downtown hotel. Best meal we had in Fairbanks.

Just like the family who owns it The food is just as amazing as the service. The atmosphere is very much representative of how you would expect a Thai restaurant to look. No complaints. The food is consistent and the service is wonderful.

It was easy walking distance from our downtown hotel. The food was tasty, the atmosphere nice, and the wait staff very good.

Our meal was overpriced. I paid eight dollars less for the same dish at the Express restaurant three weeks ago. The quality is not worth $20 per plate.

The egg rolls were great! They claim to be the best you've ever had and they aren't far off. The only thing I would change would be to have a pork option. The chicken wasn't bad, but I do love some pork egg rolls. You also get 5 full egg rolls split into 10, for $10. It's not bad given the taste and amount. The pad Thai was delicious, but it absolutely needed more spice. Otherwise, it was something I would order again. Service was incredible and the restaurant itself was nice and clean and well spaced. You don't feel like you are on top of other tables.

We stopped by for a lunch while in Fairbanks. There was a sign outside saying they were short staffed, and this contributed to our dinner experience taking over an hour and a half. The food was good as we tried the fresh spring rolls, Pad pak, and Pad Thai. Due to them being short staffed , we rarely had our drinks refilled. Over all, we would try again, but not if the sign was still out.

Some really, really delicious Thai food here! And the portions are plentiful.

I ordered a Pla Rad Khing in order to have my first salmon in an Alaskan restaurant. It was good but the pieces of salmon was a little bit hard to find between the vegetables. It was also a little too salty for me. The spring rolls were good. Friendly staff. Very (very) quickly served. It was just a little annoying to take the key to g on to the toilet.

The spring rolls are amazing. There pineapple fried rice is the best I have ever had!

Really good food! I had the yellow chicken curry and my best friends mother had the green curry, it was all delicious! Will definitely be visiting again!

It looked very nice especially coming from Denver.

Calamari tough , taste of dish was fine staff warm and friendly

Super delicious and authentic food, good service and good location as well

My husband and I ate here while we were visiting Fairbanks. Excellent food and service. Loved the pan pak, halibut egg rolls and crab Rangoon! Also, a wonderful atmosphere. Definitely give this place a try!

Lovely, and quiet atmosphere downtown.

Friendly staff and a nice fried rice

Good food and excellent service downtown Fairbanks. They have gluten free options which is important to me. Thoughtfully decorated ambiance and prompt service.

Really fantastic food, flavorful and spicy, and excellent service. I would go back in a heartbeat. If you're looking for an excellent Thai food option in Fairbanks, look no further.

Great food, consistent quality everytime

This place is great, in every way. The staff are lovely and treated me with the best Red Chili Chicken Curry of my life -- for only $20!

Wonderful fresh ingredients. Nice and creative with Wonderful taste and authentic cooking. 2 thumbs up.

The Thai fried rice was amazing - very generous portions and super fresh. Also really appreciated it because I'm vegan and they were willing to hold both the oyster and fish sauce!! Staff was pleasant and very attentive without being overly so. All in all a great experience. Highly recommend!

Very authentic Thai food! If you like the scent of original Thai dishes you will like it.

I would recommend to anyone!!! The food is always delicious and has great portion sizes! The staff is always SO friendly and accommodating. Overall just a great experience and I’ve ordered takeout multiple times and it’s just great!!

Love the food here. The curry dishes taste great and they have a good variety of them.

We enjoyed this restaurant. Delicious food, clean, and nice atmosphere.

可以在遙遠的北邊，吃到泰國菜是幸福的！！記得有午餐的menu! At far far north, it’s a worth to try Thai food.

The restaurant was recommended by a local and we were not disappointed. The food was good, handmade for some recipes. The restaurant is in Fairbanks downtown so easily accessible. If you like Thaï food, do not hesitate!

Ordered take out. Pad Thai was excellent.

Tried the egg rolls and red curry, it was awesome. The food was delicious and service was good, friendly. Street parking.

This place has one of the best customer service in Fairbanks hands down! We arrived at 8:50pm and they close at 9 but still let the 4 of us sit and dine in. We placed the order before we arrived though. A Thai restaurant nearby that closes at 9 had their door locked at 8:30pm itself! Weird.. parking can be challenging on the roadside so you might have to look around a bit before you get lucky. The ambiance was traditional and warm. Actually very beautiful. The panang curry with tofu I ordered was rich in flavour and I got a side of brown rice with it instead of regular jasmine as they ran out of it. The Thai green tea was something new and I really really loved it. Something I insist you try. My husband ordered the chicken panang curry, friends ordered pad Thai tofu and pineapple fried rice with tofu and I tasted all of it and everything was top notch. Will visit again when I'm in Fairbanks.

We tried a few dishes and they were all good, we recommend there pad Thai and chicken fried rice. There service was good as well.

Always amazing food and great service

Great thai food. They have a really nice waiting area to wait for your takeout order.

Was hoping to get an early dinner but to our dismay, found out they are shutting down every day for an hour after we got there. The staff was friendly and the decor, down to the menu, was nice and authentic. The spring roll was okay (no shrimp) and the dipping sauce was average. Overall, it came across as kind of bland. The Thai hot tea was fantastic, maybe the best I've had. The Green Curry with chicken was very good, with great aroma, flavor, and texture. I'd have that again with no complaints. The curry is currently tied for 2nd for me in Fairbanks on my quest to try every Thai place in town.

Made a reservation but still wait for 30 mins to seat then wait for more than 90 mins for food ... Besides, terrible service

Discovered their Avocado Green Curry. Fantastic!!! My new favorite meal. Kind of difficult to find, but once you find it on 3rd St. you'll want to return over and over.

Halibut egg rolls were definitely unbeatable

I'm giving this 5 stars only because they have delicious Thai green tea! I haven't tried anything else.

This was my second trip to Fairbanks and second time here! I have tried a few Thai restaurants in Fairbanks and I have to say, this is the best!!! The food is amazing and it’s located downtown. The spice tray allows you to add spices according to your taste buds, so the food is never too spicy to too bland. I got the pineapple curry with tofu but also love the Panag curry here! You can’t go wrong here.

Situated in a modern office block this is probably the best Thai restaurant in Fairbanks. The service is fast and efficient, and the food is good and then, although the food isn't cheap, it was pretty good value. Loved the crab & sift cheese parcel starter and the Pineapple Curry with chicken main course.

Authentic decor and food with super friendly service. Highly recommended.

Fix your open/closed times on the website.

It is the best thai food I have ever tried and one of my favorite places to eat in Fairbanks. Delicious food, good and fast service and a nice atmosphere. My favorite dishes are the Red Curry or Green Curry (salmon and halibut choice, ) and the Roasted Duck Curry.

Don't do the Tom Kha! (coconut milk soup) People who are familiar with this dish know it is creamy coconut milk soup with veggies and protein, like chicken, fish or prawns usually.. if you like this classic dish do not order it here, you will not get Tom Kha I am convinced the Bahn cook hates Tom Kha, it taste nothing like the dish... one thing is interesting is they like to cut their ginger in thin slices that look identical to slices of chicken so it's a kind of roulette of which one your about to eat... also you'll have to attend with large hunks of lemon grass and lime leaves.. these inedible particulates make up about half of the soup.. this takes quite some time to pick out and makes eating it frankly annoying. So... we have ginger, lemon grass, and lime leaves... this I just don't understand... there seems no rhyme or reason here because they don't not compliment each other in the least.. when you put these three ingredients together it just taste like vinegar.. that's all.. The end result tasted like some depression era vinegar chicken soup.. Sour is the absolute last flavor you want in Tom Kha, the coconut milk taste is very easily over powered you have to be very carful with spices.. basically it needs a lot of chili, you can add a touch of yellow curry if anything.. you cant even add garlic becaue it will over power the coconut flavor, and use very little salt or you won't be able to taste the natural sweetness of the coconut. The egg rolls were not bad.

The meals we had pad Thai and chicken curry were the best Thai food we had in a long time.
