An updated review to reflect the Covid service.
Well, i find myself unable to fault Woody's for anything at all despite the Covid pandemic. It's affected many businesses adversely, in both service and food. That is not the case with the delightful treasure that is Woody's Thai. It has remained a calm oasis in a food tornado.
Yes, we do still drive all the way down from Anchorage JUST to come here, and then drive straight home. Yesterday it was lashing it down with snow, the roads were not conducive to safe driving, and going through the pass, there were super deep snow berms at the roadsides. The roads were vaguely passable with snow tyres, but if you were in a regular wheeled vehicle without your studs, it would have been a greasy old drive indeed. It was not a drive for the faint of heart. But I had Woody's on my mind, and we go down every so often. Seward is just so quaint, and i do have a soft spot for it.
For me, Chicken Panang is where it's at, my dears. The sauce is so creamy good, and then you bite into a sneaky chili, that makes your snotter dribble in the most delightful way, the chicken is plentiful, as is the creamy peanutty sauce. and there is lots of rice. It's a good filling and hearty dish, and i was destroyed with starvation (normally i eat maybe 2/3, and save the rest for later, but i was powering through it like it was an eating competition, and there was maybe 3 bits of chicken left but still a good chunk of rice, and had i had more of the sauce left, i may have saved it for later and stuck it into a tortilla and rolled it up amateurishly (I just CANNOT wrap a tortilla to save my life!) Anyway, i discarded the minute amount i left behind.
Blake got the red curry with beef. It was hot. His nose was running vociferously lol. It was also delicious, and the size of the portion was even bigger then mine. We stopped on the way home in a pull-out, and whilst i got out and stretched my legs in the blizzarding snow, he got his red curry out, and had at it again. And he finished it off when he got home. These are big portions of good food. Napkins and flatware are never forgotten, and we have never had to go back and say "this isn't right" or "You forgot the flatware/napkins" it's been perfect every time, and a well earned Pandemic 5 stars from me.
