I'm not exaggerating when I say we tried every other restaurant in the area and they were closed. We crossed our fingers and walked into Mikes and were greeted warmly and sat right away! The look of this place is like half between a bar and a Italian restaurant which is a bit off-putting at first, but by the end of my trip to Alaska was probably my favorite restaurant we ate at! There were a few people at the bar, our server taking great care of us, and just a super chill welcoming vibe. We got the halibut fish and chips and the spicy vodka pasta, and they were both insane! The portions were huge and the fish was fresh as it should be! Just a great experience and extra special since they took care of us when no one else would. ‍

My husband and I shared: - Classic Crunchwrap…read more- Banh Mi Crunchwrap I love crunchwraps and this spot didn't disappoint. The classic one is what you'd expect and very good. My favorite was the Banh Mi one though. I love that they have unique versions of it. I really wanted to try their halibut burrito, but unfortunately, they were out of halibut when I was there. The only downside for me is that they only have outdoor seating and while they have heaters, they aren't turned on in the summer. Summer in Alaska isn't very warm, but it's worth being cold to eat here! This is my favorite place we ate on our month long trip to Alaska. If you're on Valdez, it's a must try. If I'm ever back in Valdez, I'll be back here.

The service was fast for my wife and I but we ordered at a strange time, around 2 PM, so there wasn't a line. I think our order came out in under 8 minutes.

The staff are quiet but attentive so even though they don't talk much, your drinks are always refilled & dishes taken away when finished so the table is not cluttered. It's honestly refreshing not having a waiter asking how you're doing at the same time you put a huge bite of food in your mouth. They also have these huge fish tanks that the kids love! A really chill place with chill people.

When my daughter and I walked in yesterday to eat and I said hi to the waitress who ignored me and…read morekept doing what she was doing. A man came out and grabbed 2 menus and showed us to our table, he was nice and greeted us accordingly. I ordered the Medium Won Ton soup and my daughter ordered the Pho. I was disappointed when my soup came out that it looked like they just used carton beef broth and threw in frozen vegetables and pot stickers and just warmed the soup up. The pho came out and my daughter complained the flavor tasted old. Reused Mongolian beef, flavor was washed off, you could still taste the marinade on the meat. I tried the broth and I agreed with my daughter it tasted like dirty dish water. Waitress came over and she asked if we needed a To go container and I said no that my daughter did not like the pho. Waitress just gave her a dirty look and instead of making it right by taking it off the bill I still paid for it. $25 dollars for soup that was not good flavor and reused meat. And my daughter didn't eat eat it because it tasted like mildew. Lazy cooking at Fu Kung. Better food in Anchorage and Eagle River when it comes to Pho. Waitress needs better manners when in contact with the public.
