What Clients Say

I'm in Fairbanks today for work and a client recommended Suka's because the food is excellent. I love Polynesian, so I went for dinner and ordered the chicken katsu plate. The chicken came with rice, salad, and macaroni salad. I wasn't mentally prepared for what I was served. The portion sizes are very generous. The chicken katsu was the best I've ever had. Seriously! Some places overcook the katsu ... not here! It was perfect. Delicious perfection! The mac salad was delicious, too. I asked what the sauce was and I was told "Suka sauce". Apparently, the recipe for the sauce is a secret. That's a shame because other Polynesian restaurants need to offer this sauce. I'm coming back to Fairbanks in March and I will be returning. The staff was very friendly, too. I highly recommend the chicken katsu. You won't be disappointed. This is the new standard for Polynesian cuisine.

One thing about living in Fairbanks we don't have to leave town to have international cuisine what a surprise I had when I sat down and started my meal I stopped immediately I wanted a photograph and I wanted to post it the spam was so surprising period wrapped in rice and a crust that seemed to me to be fried corn unfortunately the waitress did know. The rice was firm sweet an amazingly tasty to be plain white. The macaroni salad had a slight bite which made it even more interesting. Nothing I can say about the place was disappointing and the employees seem quite genuine. Don't miss out. Give them a try. The second picture what's my dinner. The first one was a group of soldiers leaving as I was arriving. I was concerned that maybe they didn't like the food. There was so much of it left. Well they boxed it all up and I asked them what they thought. They all eagerly complimented restaurant and the food and the large portions. We have to remember soldiers don't eat quite as much as they did in the 60s and 70s

Absolutely divine plate. Best food in Fairbanks without the inkling of a doubt. Portions are incredibly generous for the price, 3+ meals out of the option A plate. Food was ordered and in my tummy within 10 minutes of walking into the restaurant. Don’t even get me started on the quality of the meal itself, often times I find myself repulsed by the food I ate after getting my fix, but Sukas quality demands that I keep going, pushing beyond my limits. Upon eating a meal from this euphoric establishment, a newfound sense of clarity is unlocked.

First time here. Their cashier was very friendly and patient as we checked out the menu. I ordered a Chicken Katsu plate, a Poke bowl, and a strawberry banana smoothie. The chicken katsu was nicely flavored and crispy. The smoothie was refreshing too. From the poke bowl, down to the mac salad/toss salad everything was delicious and fresh. Good portions! Some of the best island dishes I’ve had in a while. Can’t wait to visit again.🔥🔥
