There are A LOT of Thai Food restaurants in Fairbanks and you cant go wrong with any of them but we love the food here the best.

They have a website with their menu if you want to look ahead http://www.siamsquarefairbanks.com/

Another great Thai Food restaurant, this one has room for big groups and has a more classy feel than Siam Square. Their Halibut Egg Rolls are a favorite.
