This has become my favorite restaurant in Kotzebue. I've had a burger, sweet and sour chicken (OMG their fried rice was the best), but my favorites are their soups. I've tasted 4 different soups they all had great flavors.

Pretty good place! Im not one for asian food but they have lots of other options. They have a kids menu with chicken nuggets and side dishes for picky people! I ordered fries and my travel mates cleaned their plates. The fries were ok and I like the amount of drink options. Its very pricey but being in alaska thats pretty standerd. The service was good althought they forgot someone we were satted by for a bit but apolgused and quickly got the food out. It also doubles as a lil candy store which is nice. A good place in kotzebue :

Johnny, please stop giving out your old number. It has been recycled and I have it now. I get calls every time you don’t pay your vendors. I also can’t use my points at petco because you apparently use them. I’ve received bank calls, collection calls, doctor calls. Please STOP giving out your old phone number. This has been causing inconveniences for me for YEARS, I only just found out today where you work because you need to pay Pepsi.
