haven't been here in YEARS love the food and service is fast! it's very casual vibes inside so i didn't feel weird going to eat alone at a table. i got the khao piak after my morning gym sesh and it was average BUT full of protein!!! i like my khao piak more soupy rather than thick so this is great and didn't feel bloated after eating! the khao piak is lightly seasoned already as well which is great for busy ppl. got the eggrolls appetizers as well! for dinner later, i ordered the chicken and sticky rice, along with the mango sticky rice from to go as i have a long day ahead! being able to get an app, brunch, dinner, AND dessert for the price of just around $35?!?!?! that's a steal for me as i'm a busy person who doesn't have time to cook but always want authentically cooked food rather than fast food! read more

A C Deli, one of Fresno's top-rated family-owned quick-service restaurants, has been serving the community for 20 years, including the last six years at its current location. The restaurant is a popular destination for Lao comfort food staples such as laap salad (available with pork or chicken), egg rolls, papaya salad, khao poon, khao piak, Lao sausage, and their signature fried chicken with sticky rice plate. There is also the convenience of freshly prepared and packaged meals to go, with all orders placed, picked up, and paid for at the counter. The Spring Rolls, filled with shrimp and BBQ pork, were a bit bland and lacked a true wow factor. The filling could have benefited from more aromatic depth with fresh basil or mint instead of primarily shredded lettuce. The peanut dipping sauce was also too watered down and missing the rich, nutty flavor typically expected. The Pork Laap, on the other hand, was excellent. Fresh cilantro and chopped green onions were tossed in just before serving, adding bright, herbaceous notes that balanced the richness of the pork. The ground pork itself was incredibly tender with a flavorful balance of fresh herbs, zesty citrus, and savory umami depth. It was accompanied by a generous wedge of lime to squeeze over the meat, adding even more brightness. The Lao Sausage was another standout. This aromatic, herbaceous pork sausage featured a snappy, blistered exterior with a juicy, textured interior. The rich, fatty pork was balanced beautifully by fragrant traditional aromatics such as lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, cilantro, and green onions, all of which exploded with flavor. The Mango with Sticky Rice perfectly showcased the harmony of its three essential components: perfectly ripe sweet mango, warm chewy sticky rice with a subtle salty-sweet balance, and a rich, velvety coconut cream drizzle. I also loved the Cassava dessert, and I imagine any of the Chè (traditional Vietnamese sweet soups) available in the refrigerated section would be excellent choices as well. Whether prepared with chilled coconut milk, warm coconut-banana pudding, or lightly sweetened syrup with water chestnuts, boba, or jellies, they all looked incredibly appealing. A C Deli remains a popular choice for fast, flavorful Southeast Asian comfort food. The dishes are inexpensive, freshly prepared, and packed with authentic flavor. read more

This is one of my go to place. Delicious food that is always on point. Price point makes this place one of the most budget friendly places in the area. My go to orders are the fried chicken and eggs rolls. The fried rice with the sweet sausage is really good or the noodles are equally as good. The chili paste that comes with your chicken is homemade and so delicious and spicy. I come with my colleagues and/or family. We all can't get enough of this place. Put this on the list if you haven't been there. read more

This is definitely a good place to have affordable and quick Laos food. We got the chicken and Lao sausage with sticky rice and a side of egg rolls (pack of 4). They instantly give you food right at the counter. The restaurant is a little small but they have plenty of seating. It's a definitely a family friendly place. They even were playing tv shows like Pokémon and avatar lol. I wanna try their other dishes from this place. read more

The KAO PIAK was okay, the portion was small and it just taste like water. The chilly oil help the flavor alittle. The pork spring roll didn't look fresh, the meat was lowkey sour. Overall it was not a good experience. Customer service was not good also, the people in there don't smile. Plus we order at the machine they had and they didn't even call out our order when is done.

Love this local gem. I come here for a quick lunch or whenever I'm having a craving. This time I snagged some shrimp spring rolls and mango sticky rice. The spring rolls were yummy but the peanut sauce was super watery. Mango sticky rice hit per usual. Come here for some quick and yummy Lao food. There's seating indoor and out. Service was quick and staff was nice. There's a mini snack corner with some refrigerated drink and other food items as well. read more

The papaya salad was so yummy and has a great level of spice . I really enjoyed the fried chicken and sticky rice too !!

A C Deli - Laotian Near Me - Fresno, California

We came here on a weekday in the early afternoon and there was already a bunch of customers. We ordered a sausage with chicken and banana rice leaves. Both were pretty good. My partner said the sausage was very good and freshly made. The banana rice leaves were very good and still warm. It's unfortunate that they don't have those dishes not wrapped in plastic since even if you eat there it's wrapped, so there's a lot of plastic waste here. Also, their boba can't be adjusted for sweetness, which is unfortunate. Staff member said the drinks are premade. read more

A C Deli - CHICKEN & Sticky Rice Egg Rolls 4pcs Sabaidee Thai Tea - Laotian Near Me - Fresno, California

Restaurant is decently clean and has a good amount of tables to sit. Service is usually super fast and staff is nice. Food is usually good as well. This time I got the chicken and sticky rice which is one of their staple dishes. My song loves their Mango and sticky rice. Had their Khao Poon is always good and flavor is consistent. Tried something different and got their pork laab and it was not it. Definitely a skip for next time. It has no flavor, portion was small and it was cold and you can see the cold oil on the pork which was a huge no no. Might just stick to my normal as they never disappoint. read more

Great for fast grab and go Lao food ! Casual with plenty of seating. I went for the kaopoon today which is a Lao curry noodle dish and it taste exactly like my mom would make. Pictured however I ate 50% of it before I snapped a pic. Came with tons of veggies and noodles. There are always lines (which shows just how good they are) however it moves really fast so it's never an issue. I ordered 1 kaopoon, egg rolls and got an Alani energy drink for under $20. Fast, affordable and delicious read more

A C Deli - Laotian Near Me - Fresno, California

This place was disappointing! Their spring rolls had soggy brown lettuce. Peanut sauce is watered down. Their egg rolls were probably the most disappointing thing we ordered. They were handed in a greasy bag and the rolls seemed like were fried yesterday and left under a hot lamp. The only reason I would be back is for their chicken and sticky rice, as that was ok but not great. Service is fast food like, they have a kiosk where you can order. Place feels more like a quick stop gas station type of place. Give it a pass. read more

Food was good service was a little slow price was a little on the high side I had the papaya salad I ask for not hot but It was still a little spicy for me read more

I heard from a friend that this is a good place for Laotian food. It's a walk up counter ordering place. They also have a kiosk where you can place your order. I ordered the Lao Sausage & Sticky Rice, Kaopoon, Papaya Salad (level 3), Egg Rolls, and two dessert items. I was given a buzzer after ordering my food. I sat at a table while I was waiting for my food. The place was clean, but one of the seat was ripped. It's a casual place with friendly staff. Everything was delicious, except the egg rolls. I didn't care for it because it was heavy on the cabbage. The dipping sauce was delicious though. The papaya salad was perfect at level 3. It also had a very good flavor. The Kaopoon was yummy. The namwan was good, but some tapioca balls stuck together. They should be free flowing. The other rice dessert was delicious, too. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of the egg rolls. My daughter and husband liked the egg rolls. read more

Always great food! Never disappointed and lately the Kao Piak has been so good on these cold days in town.

Review overdue. If you are craving authentic Lao food, this is the place. Delicious food. My favorite is their kapoon and my girls' favorite is the chicken and sticky rice. Can never go wrong with that! You can go to the counter or order on the kiosks. They also have cold ready to go pepper, pepper sauce, nam vam, bamboo salad and so much more. Most of their popular food are hot and ready to go. Service is fast. Convenient for those who need to grab and go. There's also a boba bar! read more

A C Deli - Kapoon (curry noodles) with 3 chicken thighs! Delicious! - Laotian Near Me - Fresno, California

A coworker of mine brought a chicken and rice platter from here to work for everyone to try, and I was hooked instantly. The plate came with perfectly fried chicken, a neatly wrapped package of sticky rice, and a small serving of chili paste on the side. The flavors were absolutely amazing--the chicken was crispy and flavorful, the sticky rice had just the right texture and stickiness, and the chili paste added a nice, satisfying kick that tied everything together. After that first experience, I knew I had to come back. On my next visit, I decided to try the spring rolls in addition to the chicken and rice. I was pleasantly surprised by how generously sized the spring rolls were--longer than what most places serve--and the price was pretty reasonable, too. While I personally prefer a thick peanut sauce, the sauce they provided was a bit watery for my liking, though it still tasted good and complemented the spring rolls well. Overall, this place has quickly become a favorite of mine. The flavors, quality, and portion sizes make it well worth returning for, and I'll definitely keep coming back for more! If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend giving it a shot. read more

AC Deli is a place of legend for one of my friends. I finally came by to try the Kao Poon, and I'm so glad I did. It was full of flavor and each bite was an adventure. It did not disappoint. I got some sausage and sticky rice to round out the meal. It was just as good. While simple, it's so satisfying. The staff were welcoming and helpful. I'd like to try more of their offerings. read more

Ambiance: They used to be located on first and Olive, but their store burned down. This new location is where I used to go clubbing. Now they have this location and Sweet Mango. Their sticky rice, chicken and rice with jeo bong is my favorite at Sweet Mango. However, this location, I opted for sticky rice, pork and papaya salad. I thought it was neat that their drink bar is separate. Very spacious compared to Sweet Mango. Service: I can't really speak about service because I used their self serve machine. It was cool to see Asian foods and drinks on a self serve machine. If you don't feel like taking food home, they do have seating areas. I ordered papaya and it asks for spice level. I chose hot which is 5 peppers and boy was it spicy. Food: Sticky Rice: Good, I never really have bad sticky rice unless it sticks to your hands. Pork- okay, I should have gotten my regular which is the chicken. The best pork in Fresno is at Christy's Donuts. Sweet Mango has good chicken and since they are the same owners as AC deli, I should have gotten chicken. Papaya- I didn't have an option of choosing Lao style, but papaya was good. I decided on 5 peppers Instead of 3 and it was delicious. Portion was good. It had a great balance of saltiness and sourness. I am lao so I am serious about my papaya salad. Lol. Overall, my first experience here was good. read more

YES YES YES! Located conveniently off Shaw, not too far from Fresno State, you'll find this quaint lil store and restaurant with great food. Went on Saturday for lunch and there was a line. However, the line went by fairly quickly and we got to order at the counter. Food is a great price AND it's good! Got two fried chicken rice plate, one with regular sticky rice, the other with fried rice. What really makes the rice plates for me is the pepper jel that comes on the side! It's a perfect kick and tastes awesome on the rice and the chicken! Additionally, we got papaya salad! You can pick your spice level and we decided to go with hot and it was perfectttt! The kick, the flavor, and the bite - 10s across the board. I would definitely come here again and again. Considering how expensive even fast food is nowadays (spicy chicken nuggets and fries are $10????), I'd rather get this made with love meal for $8! read more

I came for a casual meal and left with committed relationship with a piece of fried chicken. It was so good I briefly forgot my own name. Crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, basically the Chicken of all of Fresno. It's a must try restaurant, if you're into Lao style food. The staff were so nice I started wondering if I was being secretly filmed for a feel good commercial. read more

Parking was plenty, love it that they had a kiosk for you to order instead of waiting in line which was very convenient. The package food was more expensive than the usual you would get at any other typical Asian store so that I would not recommend. I haven't tried any of their other food so I can't give any other reviews. Their drinks are too overpriced as well. I got one of the roasted coconut drink and it was about at least .80c more. But it is what it is, i probably won't eat here again. read more

Ac is the best to grab and go love the spicy dipping sauce it's so good. I love the hot food

I have been going to AC since they were a hole in the wall. Tonight I went in and ordered at 6:29 and didn't get my food until 7:15. When I inquired the rude young man at the counter was dismissive and rude. He simply said everyone prefers before 6:30. I watched countless people walk in and out with their food only to be treated poorly. I won't be back and it makes me sad because I've been a customer for at least 15 years. read more

This is usually my go to place for the chicken & sticky rice grab and go. My son really likes the spicy dip that comes with it. Recently tho I noticed when I ordered it came out different packaging. And the chicken seemed a little more drier than usual. Maybe I came on a bad day, idk but usually their chicken hit. I always come to get their kao piak here tho since it's decent and nearby.. service is always good. I used to get the tapioca balls but they put it in the fridge now and I like it better room temp. The steamed catfish used to be really good but taste somewhat different then when they used to be on first and olive.. it's okay.. the bamboo thing in the fridge used to hit too on first and olive and now it tastes just a tad bit different. Different location different recipe ig? Jk. Idk. The place makes me feel like it's big for nothing cus it is super super spacious in there. They even have a back side patio and upstairs which I'm not sure if they allow people upstairs. I know this cus this place used to be a bar called Swigs!! The service is good tho, nice friendly vibes. I still b messin with this place even tho some of the stuff I get taste a little diff then first n olive.. its only when I crave Laos food. read more

I've been meaning to try AC deli for THE longest time! For the price, I think their chicken plate is a great value, there's about 5 pieces of chicken and a generous amount of sticky rice and chili dip for less than $10! As for the chicken itself, it was oily but somehow also kind of dry at the same time. Flavor was great though! Overall, not crazy impressed, but I'd definitely come back someday to try their other options. read more

I arrived right when they opened. Ordered bananas wrapped in sticky rice and a durian smoothie.. Banannas wrap was very nice. It was served hot, with 4 little packages wrapped in banana leaves. In addition to the banana and sticky rice, there was also some kind of bean in there, which added a nice nuttiness. Durian shake had nice durian flavor, although I would have preferred a stronger durian flavor. Service was friendly and polite. The dining room is decorated in southeast Asian style and is very spacious. There are lots of food items available for take away along the walls. I liked the atmosphere. Apparently, they have things for sale that aren't on the menu, so it pays to ask. For example, my banana with sticky rice wasn't listed on the menu. I will be back to try some of the savory options, which look delicious. read more

Great hot food to go but please don't go cheap on the pepper. Before use to have decent amount of pepper but now seems to be half of what it use to be. read more

Love my sticky rice and sausage, plus their spring rolls are awesome. Only issue is the peanut sauce is watery.

This is more a walk up deli rather than a restaurant...minimal seating in a mish mash setting. People only go here for the food! We showed up about 20 minutes before closing and they were unfortunately sold out of several things we wanted to try. The chicken and pork plates were yummy....succulent meat over rice. Portions were hearty. Skip the salad in the deli fridge unless you really like sour flavors. Nice selection of boba. Would give it a 3.5 if I could. We are definitely going back earlier in the day to try some of the other dishes. Not sure what all the complaints were about service...we found everyone to be polite and professional. read more
