Friendly, well trained staff, huge portions and the best ribeye steak in Alaska.
Ordered takeout for a birthday dinner. We've done this before in the past and it was never an issue. I ordered the ribeye as I've had it before. My fiance ordered the cashew shrimp. We also had 4 egg rolls and an order of crab rangoons. Like I said, I've ordered the ribeye before and it was never an issue. So checking the food upon heading back to Fairbanks didn't occur to us. But boy we should have. When the food got home we quickly dug in. The "ribeye" looked kinda off upon...read full review
Being a local I have ate there twice with family. multiple of us became sick with food poisoning after. the sauce they gave for the chicken tasted like old warmed up ketchup. Second time, the food just tasted bad. Definitely don't recommend this place.
