Tried the duck crepe and spicy noodle soup here. The crepe is unique, unlike anything I’ve had and actually really good. The soup flavors were excellent too. It’s only take-out and they have no restrooms for customers, but they do have little tables where you can eat your takeout should you want to stay.
Second time eating this and still craving more! The crispy pancake is freshly fried and super flavorful, packed with fresh lettuce , cucumber , and ham — so satisfying! The sweetest part? The owner lady is incredibly kind and cheerful Her warm smile makes the food taste even better! Even the wrapping paper has a charming vintage design Highly recommend this little gem to all the foodies out there!
The crepes were delicious and so filling. We had the strawberry dessert crepe and the lamb cumin crepe. The lamb crepe was very flavorful, and we enjoyed the strong cumin flavor. The sweet crepe had lots of nutelle and whipped cream, and the corn flakes gave it a good crunch! Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Fairbanks.
AMAZING！Food was great; I had the duck crepe. The saleswoman was very nice and warmed up to us quickly. We went there twice and on our second trip we got a free cup of tea that was very good. The restaurant is very clean and well decorated; perfect if you want a nice atmosphere.
Very tasty, thoughtful staff and friendly host. We have been Fairbanks for four days, and this was the best meal we had the entire time. Wonderful chicken noodle ramen, and the Mongolian rice bowl was very tasty!
Chinese style fusion crepes. Searching for a Chinese spot in Fairbanks and here we are. Kinda famous on a Chinese app, regarding as a crepes version of the “Chinese pancakes”. We tried the Peking duck and the Cumin lambs. The flavor is indeed authentic. Sour and spicy glass noodles warm us up in the cold winter.
