OOFF i'm going to miss this combo!! highly recommend! you get 5% off if you pay in cash!! DEFINITELY A MUST IF YOU VISIT ALASKA & ARE IN THE AREA~!
Now, granted my car ride back to my AirBnb means that it was no longer crispy. I am taking that into consideration. Waitress warned me that it would take a while and I could either take a seat or wait in my car (it's a rental and I'm from SoCal during October early snow weather). So I chose the former. I only really looked at the front portion of the restaurant. Didn't seem too busy but one of the higher rated KFC spots and that was my craving. Plus, I went ahead and ordered for to-go since I wasn't too hungry and was more in preparation for the season's first snowstorm. Seemed like any other small restaurant layout with booth seating on the outskirts. Fried chicken smelled good once I walked in. Now the food itself: I appreciate how it wasn't overly sauced so the crisp wasn't completely gone by the time I took a quick bite for the night. I'm sure it would've been better straight out of the fryer. All pieces were still juicy. So overall very much up to par. Just not top tier. Before I got out of my car, a Transient came up to my car door to ask for something. As a solo traveler, I respectfully shook my head at him. He went into the shop next door. As this is in their downtown area, not surprising to have such an interaction. Unfortunately that lowers their rating though.
I'm such a foodie that anywhere i go i have to literally just go for the good stuff. Bae and I came here and we both wanted ramen noodles. I had the spicy shrimp ramen with cabbage and it was very tasteful. Small quiet restaurant with nice scenery to vibe off of.
Came here as a group when we were vacationing in Alaska during Thanksgiving weekend. The place is very cute and homey, there's a lot of kpop music and videos which I was expecting if I go to Korean restaurant. This place has a real potential, and I'm telling you what they could improve on. There was only 1 person working and I could tell she was pretty overwhelmed taking our big orders because we came in a large group. I didn't see any other staff, but it was very nice of her that before she sent out the orders to the kitchen, she printed out our orders and made sure if she didn't make any mistakes. She did misplaced some orders, but I'm glad she double check with us. Their katsu comes in a huge portion, we couldn't finish it and had to wrap it for to go. My favorite is their golden fried chicken, their soup / ramen was just ok, maybe can make some improvements on that area, or just focus on fried chicken in overall. If possible, maybe they can add some banchan for complimentary appetizers like in Korean style restaurant, but the lady was nice and she recommended some places to visit during our trip. I could tell their restaurant was still new, so would love to visit again when we come to Fairbanks!
Great service, our waiter was great, 1st day on the job too! Ambiance and food are good
