This place is suchhhh an underrated spot! Awarded for their Lao/Thai/Chinese cuisine a few years in a row and I can definitely tell why! My friend and I came here, she's vegan also, and we ordered the vegetable spring rolls w peanut sauce, vegetable pad Thai (not on the menu but they made it vegan for her), and orange chicken with chow mein(#5) with a iced Thai tea to top it all off! The spring rolls were to die for with the peanut sauce- we added peanuts and chili oil that they have on the table along with plenty of additions! My orange chicken and chow mein were as I described, how you'd expect the yummy food you see on tv to taste, so so perfect. The Thai tea was seriously the best I've had in town in a long time, it's as sweet as I like itttt and only $5 so I'll be coming back for that a lot! The restaurant was empty so there wasn't much wait, the service was great and the woman working was very sweet. I'd recommend coming here if you like Thai Lao or Chinese food! I'm planning on trying the red curry next!

Steamed fish
Sisomvang H.

First time here- Ordered: Mok Pa- Steamed Fish in banana leaf- Fresh and hot Sticky rice- Perfectly cooked Mango Salad- medium spicy,nice and dark like I like it- It was a really tart mango, like they chopped it close to the seed Pork Belly- Really good, the skin on it was my favorite out of all the restaurants i have tried. Price- $48 for everything. Service: They make you order first before you are able to sit down. Bff and I took awhile to look at menu because we had not been here before so if there were more people behind us and restaurant got packed, probably would have lost a table. Ambiance: Everything from utensils, napkins and water is self served. I did like that the sodas were refillable and it is next to Indian Sweets and Spices which is a cool Indian grocery store.

Absolutely loved this place!!! It was awesome. Great food and super clean. The guy who helped me was so kind and suggested the dragon fruit tea. So refreshing. Definitely coming back.

Super yummy lap food. I ordered medium pork larb. But the kitchen made it mild but spicy and tasty 3 flavors (spicy, savory, sour) since they heard me that I am from myanmar. Thank your very much the owner lady and the kitchen lady. Clean and spacious dining room.

Amazing local Lao spot. We stopped here on our drive back to SoCal from Yosemite. Their khao poon and red curry were just what we needed! Huge portions that are honestly good for 2 people each. Loved their papaya salad as well. Super authentic, so similar to what my Lao bestie's parents would serve to us in college. Comforting and casual atmosphere. Great for takeout too. Order at the cashier then pick an available table and they'll bring your food to you.

Fried chicken, fried sausage and sticky rice.

The food was delicious and the service was super warm and friendly. This place reminds me of a comforting meal at a family's home. Highly recommend coming here if you like great Lao's food made by great people.

Mango sticky rice
Lena S.

When I first tried their first location, I wasn't impressed. But then I tried it again a year later and I was wowed. The food was delicious. I always recommend it to everyone. So I was pretty happy that there was one on this side of town. The pho was just okay. Not as flavorful like the other location. It was just different. Obviously their cooks are different but I was hoping they'd use the same recipe. (2/5) The namkhao was supercsalty. I think they forgot and put salt twice. But I think they should tasted it beforehand. (0/5) Mango sticky rice was okay, the mangos were a little bruised but that's okay. I do wish it was sweeter. (3/5) Overall I was pretty disappointed. I came in with higher expectations. But like their other location I will try it out again at a later date and hopefully they'll work it all out.

Condiments

This place recently opened up. The menu is a little Lao, a little Thai, and a little Chinese. I went with the papaya salad (medium spice), lao style, and the shrimp spring rolls. The papaya salad was spicy! And I appreciated that. It was also delicious. The spring rolls were simple and fresh, and the peanut sauce that came with it was nice, maybe a little too thin. There was a great selection of condiments , which I always appreciate. I'll definitely back, but, fair warning, they don't hold back on the spice. The people here are super nice, and you can tell they are working hard to run a successful business and make people happy with good food.

We came from Sacramento for my husband's company Xmas party to Chukchansi but made a stop here bc it was recommended by Harris. We ordered to go bc our eta was close to their closing time. We got papaya salad, shrimp laab, grilled chicken, baked egg, sweet noodle, pork belly and oxtail pho. EVERYTHING was delicious! In addition the staff were super friendly. We'll definitely stop again when we're in the area.

9/17/24 Getting lunch! Large chicken pho ordered. The worker was very kind. Shrimp spring rolls ordered too! He said it would be ready shortly. I went to get it. Nice restaurant. Safe & clean. Greeted and the order was ready. I paid for it and he knew I was splitting it and added an extra bowl to make it easier. He also bagged it and wished me a good day! Appreciated! Lunchtime! Order split. Chicken pho was Really Delicious! Great! Even better with all the ingredients given to add to it & spice it up! Shrimp spring roll was fresh & tasty! Great peanut sauce to go with it too! Mother felt the same! Great service & Really Great lunch! Highly recommended!

Food is always bomb. But someone needs to clean out the soda machine. It's moldy and slimmy. If this is the level of cleanness La's kitchen represent then it can be worse in the back of the house.

Rating doesn't change-- they're still amazing from my experience last year. Why it took a whole…read moreyear to come back? Idk. *shrugs* This time we got: Pad Kra Pao, Pad Se-Ew (beef), Yellow Curry (chicken), and Thai Style Papaya Salad for dinner. We each had a different favorite dish out of the three entrees... Pad Se-Ew was mine (noodle head), followed by the Pad Kra Pao (perfect flavor, not too strong on the basil, egg fried just right), then the curry last (I prefer green or red more). The salad was good, refreshing. No spice whatsoever, but we knew that (one of the girls can't handle as much spice). The winner of our dinner? The Thai Tea Flight! I love the option of flights anywhere I go. It gives you the chance to try all the flavors you're curious about without committing to one that you may or may not like. Man... these were amazing. If I had to rank the flavors-- it was a toss-up between the Original Thai Tea and the Ube but since this is the battle of the Thai Teas... the OG gets a slight edge. Both freaking amazing though (we ordered full sizes of these after). Obviously Thai Iced Coffee comes next but coffee should be it's own category. It wins on its own as coffee. The Green Thai Tea came in last for all 3 of us, I believe. It's good, just not as good as the other three... and it's definitely more fragrant? Idk the right word for it. Anyway, I'd make more stops here just for these drinks alone now that i know how good they are. Staff was amazing. Friendly. Attentive. Restaurant still very aesthetic. Their plating of the meals? A+. It was a very good dinner.

However, the dude (he was the only one on service while I was there) had accidentally rung it up as 2 pad thais and an iced tea. He got the correct order rung up right away and I could tell that he felt really bad about it. I wasn't too bummed. Mistakes happen, I wasn't in a rush, and now it'll definitely be fresh! I took a seat to the side to wait. The staff dude came over frequently (maybe 4 or 5 times?) to update me on timing and apologize again. It was ~7pm or so so there weren't many people there, but the smells from the kitchen were delicious. He ended up giving me the pad thais and iced tea on the house! Personally, I'm not a big fan of pad thai but my roommate said that it was really good. The pad see ew was delicious! I'm definitely going to go back again.

We ordered the pork egg rolls you get five, and they were really good , nice and crunchy just how I like them. We also tried the yellow chicken curry, which had really good flavor and was more on the soupy side. The chicken pad Thai had good flavor, and of course I had to try the basil rice, which I really liked. Overall, it was a good experience. If you're in the area and craving Thai food, this is a place worth trying.

The pad thai is really good, like legitimately good not just "good for Fresno" good. The drunken noodles are my personal order every time and they nail the heat level, you can actually customize spice and they respect whatever you ask for. Too many places just make everything the same regardless. The bubble tea is a nice bonus. Good variety and it pairs well if you want something to sip on while you eat or take to go. Space is clean and simple, nothing fancy but comfortable. Service is always efficient and friendly. I've done both dine in and takeout and both experiences have been smooth. Its on Shaw so super easy to get to from basically anywhere in Fresno. Prices are totally reasonable, portions are filling. Honestly its just reliable and really tasty. When I don't know what I want for dinner I end up here and I'm never disappointed.

I honestly don't know what makes the regions different but the store manager stated they are more authentic versus others that incorporate a fusion style of Thai food.

Although common in other Thai restaurants, the satay was the most flavorful and can honestly say are one of the better dishes compared to others that I've had at other restaurants. Will definitely come back when in the area.

The pork belly here is huge and served hot and super crispy, miles better than any other pork belly I've tried.
