One of the best in town. Ask anyone on Cushman.
01 — The Story
KC's isn't fancy. It's a red building on Cushman Street with cobalt-blue trim, warm booths, and a kitchen that runs on generations of Korean recipes plus a stack of Alaskan diner classics.
Regulars come every week. Tourists ask if it's the best-kept secret in Fairbanks. It quietly is.
"Every plate carries a little bit of home."
