Pho Vatsana - Wasilla

Finally, this jewel of a restaurant tried because my daughter wanted to try pho. We had seafood and traditional, and wow they were great. The seafood pho had a lot of meat, although the scallops were a bit small. The beef pho was very savory. Only half a spoon of chili sauce was the whole bowl needed to run my nose and I like it as spicy. The price was a bit high, but not much to do in 2022. Service was excellent and personal. The dog, Scooby, was super cool, just don't try to caress him and he'll come to you.

Ever single thing we ordered was amazing. Best pho and curry we have had in Alaska by far.

Great pho to help clear up my sinuses. Very flavorful.

Our go to place when we’re cold or under the weather. Consistently great beef pho. Best I’ve ever had. Always gets us feeling better and is the ultimate comfort food. Thank you Pho Vatsana

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!
