Pho Vatsana - Wasilla, Alaska

Laura Goodman

So far the best Thai/pho I have found in the Valley!

FRESH spring rolls: actually Fresh ingredients. you can taste the difference. and rice papers were not like glue. They were freshly made which has not been my experience at other places.

Pho Thai: delicious broth and fresh quality veg, chili crisp and all the fixings readily available at the table.

Great service and clean restaurant. I will be coming here again.

This place has a beautiful and consistent quality. High variety. Ingredients are always fresh, with large portions. Wonderful and bold flavors. Comfort food to boost your soul in any season. They even have duck! Speed is quick and location conveniently near downtown if you are in a rush for lunch. It's one of my personal favorites in the valley.

First time coming here and i absolutely loved it!! I got the Pho Thai and the broth was so flavorful, my boyfriend ordered the “Two golden girls” and that was amazing too. Really big portions and affordable prices. The owner was really friendly and fun to talk to 🙂 definitely recommend this place but DO NOT TAKE THE SPICE LEVELS LIGHTLY. We ordered a level 3/5 and honestly I don’t even want to think about what a 5 would be..

Rediscovered this place and am very happy to! Used to go here with my family years ago, but I don't frequent it as often because the location is a little out of my way compared to previous living locations. The other reason why I think I hadn't tried it in a while is because on their menu, it doesn't openly say that tofu is an option for curry, it just says choose chicken, pork, beef, or shrimp. But tofu is an option on another menu item so I asked and they were happy to replace it on their Mama's Chicken Curry that I ordered. In the past when I had looked up menus I thought they didn't have tofu as an option so then decided to go somewhere else, but they definitely do have it so anyone that doesn't eat meat or prefers tofu don't skip on this place! They can replace tofu for other dishes as well.

We got spring rolls for an appetizer and their spring rolls are some of the better in the valley I think. Their presentation is really nice and the sauce is very good, more on the vinegary tangy side which I prefer over a peanut-y sauce. They also include 8 spring rolls instead of 6 which is nice. They are a little thinner but sometimes that's nice because they're easier to eat.

I ordered the Mama's Chicken Curry and replaced chicken with tofu. The flavor of the curry was really good. Rivals my other favorite thai curry in the valley (Pho Lucky). I really need to try their red and green varieties. Plenty of veggies and a big portion enough for 2 meals.

My husband got their pad thai and thai tea and really enjoyed it.

Their service is really good here too, they are very friendly and prompt. Also they are open on Sunday! I always find myself craving thai food on Sundays but most of the places in the valley aren't open. Highly recommend!

So the guy up front fighting with my husband about how we didn't order correctly even tho when I was on the phone with him seemed to have everything just fine. Arriving, the dog started barking at my husband, and the staff seemed to be very rude. It was a total of $83, and sadly, my husband didn't ask for the receipt, but I had ordered a noodle soup for my child, and on the phone, he never asked if I wanted any meat on it and when the food was picked up we only got 2 out of the 3.
When paying, they are forcing a 15-20% tip, which i dont think is nice, and I'll give it if only I had received everything I ordered. Springrolls lettuce was brown like of it was left out for too long with kind of a dish water flavor.
Asked for duck noodles, and whatever meat was in there had more not eatable parts than actual meat.
Thai Iced tea is the only thing that was delicious:/

A+ service with a smile! They aim to please! The gentleman keeps track of regulars and makes everyone laugh. We’ll be back to see if we like other dishes better just cuz we liked the service so much!cute sweet little doggy too.

I am not sure where all the good reviews came from, our experience was far from excellent. However, this is just my experience. The food was not good at all. I got the chicken friend rice and for the first time (at a Thai restaurant ) I was served gooey rice. Our waiter never returned to the table while we were eating to check on us, nor was he pleasant. One word responses. My husband got the beef Pho and he said it was SUPER salty and very sub par. My husband is Filipino and avidly eats pho as it’s one of his favorites, so for him to say it’s salty takes a lot.

When we went to pay for our food the waiter asked how everything was and I told him the rice was very gooey and he never responded, not a word. Just charged us 54 bucks for a meal that was not good.

I do not recommend this restaurant. The restaurant itself is also very outdated, which isn’t off putting because we love hole in the wall places, however, that combined with the food was disappointing.
