I would still recommend this restaurant to anyone who aren't crazy about their sushi selection. Taste good and quality is still there. What's even nice is that they have a mochi donut shop in the same plaza... so while you're waiting, grab some boba or mochi!! Or a Mexican refreshca inside of Vallarta! Mmm hm . Yum.

This place is no frills but the quality and consistency is good. We didn't think there was a thing such as cheap Japanese food, but this place does so and it's great. My go to when I order for me and a family member is the California roll and the grilled salmon bowl. But we've also ordered the salmon dinner plate and the grilled shrimp bowl. Each time the food is good and priced well. The food can take awhile to make, but it means they make it fresh to order. It usually takes about 20 minutes so if I am in a hurry, I call ahead. Whether you dine in or take out, the food is put in to-go containers.

We didn't realize that it raised in price and it is now $38 per person for dinner. A bit steep, but we hoped the food would make up for it. Yet, it was very disappointing and kept getting worse. I think we need to keep in mind that this is not a true AYCE hot pot location. They have a generous menu for Laos/Thai food but with an option for hotpot. The meats were very thick, tough, and basic. The broth was decent but nothing extraordinary to the point of yearning for more. We wish they had more options for toppings, but it was pretty limited. We would not go back for the hot pot but for the other foods that they have to offer.

So glad to see new options in Fresno!…read more Being a little spoiled over here in GA we decided to grab a dozen for some family since we were in town. Not sure if it is the same Mochilicious "franchise?" we are used to but the quality is a bit different. Though the doughnuts were beautifully decorated and all the options were enticing the doughnuts were cold and almost giving stale. We are used to a more light fluffy bite so not sure if the standard is different here. Staff were nice enough. As expected, being Fresno. We also got a couple milk teas while we waited.. The drinks were pretty flat. Not sure if it was just how the barista made them, but we were pretty disappointed. Maybe don't get milk tea from here, or try it before you leave. Stick with the doughnuts.

It's such a fun twist from the original pork/chicken/veggie egg rolls. They have elevated egg rolls to another level. However, many stick to the traditional type of rolls and they offer those as well. They often get sold out fast too so hurry and get them before they do! The owners are very good people and stick to their family oriented vibes. My suggestions are: garlic shrimp ramen, bean and cheese, hot cheetos, bacon avocado jalapeno!

They drew a cute little picture on our bag :) I liked it for more of an appetizer place. They sell egg rolls but with all kinds of different fillings. Reasonable price to try different ones. It was 4 for $8 (regular average size egg rolls). We tried the Pizza, Hawaiian with Spam, Tri-tip Mac n Cheese and Non-spicy Cream cheese and Jalepeno stuffed egg roll. Loved them all! My favorite was the Cream Cheese and Jalapeño stuffed egg roll and my bf loved the Hawaiian one.

Mr. Papaya's Kitchen in Fresno is absolutely worth the visit. We came as a large group on a really…read morebusy day, so the wait to get seated was long... almost an hour, but honestly it wasn't a big deal. There are plenty of interesting stores around the area, so the time passed pretty quickly. Once we were seated, everything went uphill. Our server was AMAZING. Even with how busy it was, he was everywhere, serving tables, helping in the back kitchen, running back and forth, and still made sure we always had drinks and checked in on us. Huge shoutout to him because he truly went above and beyond and deserves way more credit. The food was absolutely delicious. Super flavorful, and the papaya dishes were especially good. You can tell everything was made with care. The only downside is that the restaurant felt a bit cramped since it's on the smaller side. Also, it's cash-only, but that wasn't an issue because they do accept Zelle and Venmo. Overall, great food, incredible service, and definitely a place I'd go back to for Thai food. 1/2 Had more than this to eat but didn't get all the photos.

We ordered the purple sticky rice, beef larb, papaya salad, crispy pork belly, pompano, shrimp pineapple fried rice, and pork belly with greens. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. It was very busy and we had a long wait to seat our group of 11. Service was a bit slow and they seemed understaffed, but it was understandable given how packed it was. Our server was kind, patient, and very apologetic about the wait for our food, which we really appreciated. Overall the food more than made up for the wait.

The quality of the broth is slowly declining and I'm going to go somewhere else now because it is not the same as few years back. Please tell your kitchen works to do better. Broth is everything without it I can't enjoy my pho. This reminds me of my Thai Boat incident. Taste exactly like the broth with pork blood in it. If you guys can't even do it correctly you'll be loosing customers. Even my little brother dropped his food and left because it was off. If this doesn't improve I'm gone.

Just a heads up, the added egg topping was runny yolk style - which was delicious, but I know some folks may not like that style. The garlic steak noodles however were really good, at least a 4/5, would definitely try that again if not get more of that to-go if I'm in the area. The lychee smoothie and slushie has added lychee jelly, and both were delicious. This was roughly an $75 (+tip) meal altogether, which was, if I may be honest, a bit more expensive than what I would rate the place... however, I genuinely wanted to check the place out and I very well likely would return for other appetizers and drinks, probably not so much for the ramen.

The beef was tender, but could have been more flavorful. The noodles were chewy and good. My husband got the Q noodle soup and honestly it wasn't much different from the regular beef noodle soup. Overall, a very decently priced meal bursting with incredible flavor. Would definitely recommend.

Unlike my friend, @Kubo, who said lots of parking. We arrived two hours after her, about 6:20pm, and the parking lot was near topped off, forcing some to have to park in unpaved areas. This was mostly due to the neighboring gym. (Sorry for those who have slammed vehicles without bags.) The crispy pork was delicious and crunchy. The chicken had a sweet to its savory. Very happy with the sauce choices as well. And sticky rice for the win. Two restrooms available. Half the tables were occupied by customers. One table by other Yelpers, who I wanted to take a picture with, but they were mid chomp. Disappeared while I was stuffing my face. Noise level was average, with adorable children throughout, music playing, and lots of order pickups. Will be happy to return!

Definitely not watered down for people who can't handle spice either, which I appreciated. Every dish tasted homemade and comforting. If you're craving real Lao food, this spot is absolutely worth the hype. Also the Thai tea was indeed *tea* so yummy
