Tok Thai Food truck – Glennallen, Alaska

Quick review on the Tok Thai Food truck in Glennallen, Alaska (Ya, that's right- it is not in Tok - it is in Glennallen - maybe it was born in Tok???).  I have heard about this from quite a few people who have loved it.  On a drive (with M Bob) from the Canadian border to Anchorage, we looked for a “purple truck” in Glennallen and found it, in a semi-permanent location, right next to “The Hub” in Glennallen.  When we walked up to the truck there were three Ukrainian tourists taking photos of the truck and waiting for their food.  I quickly spotted yellow curry chicken on the menu and placed an order – M Bob ordered the fresh spring rolls.  I have been on a quest, around the country, for the perfect Thai yellow curry for years.  The closest I have found is at Ray’s Place in Anchorage, AK – until today.  By the time our food was ready there was a lunch-time line of about 20 people with cars parked haphazard all around the truck - and more coming out of the woodwork.

Cutting to the chase here – the yellow curry was great. – just the right amount of coconut milk, curry, chicken, and potatoes.  The chicken was cooked perfectly (one of the faults of many of the previous attempts in my quest).  The fresh tofu spring rolls were also very tasty.  It seems strange that food served in the middle of Alaska can taste so fresh.  If you have any stickers, there is still room to strategically place them on the truck.

It is almost worth the drive… to Glennallen - not Tok.
