The Lao sausage was very disappointing; more processed like a Chinese sausage than the more traditional Lao sausages I've had where you can see and taste all the spices inside. The chicken was delicious! The chili paste was to die for; flavorful and ends with a kick that makes your ears ring the more you eat it. The chicken and sausage rice dishes were pricy but they give A LOT of sticky rice; each tray was like 5 pounds. The bao was huge and had lots of meat; it also had a thick layer of dough which seemed like a lot but was actually good to wash down the salty meat with. I only got the to go food so can't comment on food quality if dining in. The place got busy right after we got there. Service was super and efficient to get the line down. Restaurant seating area was a good size and looked clean. read more

We've been loyal customers of La's Kitchen since 2021, and it's been amazing to watch this gem thrive over the years. The owner, La, is fantastic--always funny, welcoming, and full of positive energy whenever we see her! It's also heartwarming to see her loyal staff, who are consistently friendly. We've tried over 15 items on the menu and have loved every single one! Our top six favorites are Fried Chicken with Sticky Rice, Larb Beef, Kaopiak, Pad Thai Noodles, Lummit, and Thai Iced Coffee. (Okay, maybe one more--Fried Sausage with Sticky Rice. Oh, and try the Fried Sausage and Chicken with Jel Mushroom from the fridge--it's incredible!) We make a point to visit every time we're in town or passing through on our way to Fresno. The food is always fresh, full of flavor, and worth the trip. La's Kitchen can get super busy at times, but I promise the wait is absolutely worth it. Just yesterday, we stopped by and ordered Larb Beef (raw and medium spicy), Papaya Salad (medium spicy), and Koapiak. We like to add chili sauce, jalapeños, and a little tamarind seasoning to the Koapiak--it's so flavorful! We capped off our meal with a Thai Iced Coffee, which was the perfect dessert and gave us a nice energy boost after our food coma. I highly recommend La's Kitchen to anyone in town, as well as family and friends. La recently opened a second location on Ashlan and Marks, so if that's closer to you, check it out. You won't be disappointed! read more

This place is so good! We loved the service too! I just wish it wasn't on the other side of town. But the drive is worth it every time for us. We ordered the baked eggs, chicken and roasted pig plates. The flavor and oh man the crunch was so satisfying! This last time got our food to go and when we got home to eat, it was still hot and crunchy! The chicken and pork wasn't overly salted. The flavor was just perfect. The sauce went perfectly with our baked eggs and perfect with the sticky rice too. Service was really fast and the staff were really nice. We will definitely be back and especially we go to that side of town. read more

First time visitor. Heard all about this place from friends and family but it's quite a travel (30 mins) from home to get here. More "To Go" folks versus dine in during my visit. Ordered two of the more popular dishes: Fried Pork Belly and Beef Larb. Pork Belly: One of the best pork belly dishes I've had in a long time. Crispy! The dipping sauce was a nice addition to it as well. Portions were reasonable for the price. This dish is best enjoyed if you consume it right away. Larb Beef: This dish is typically not what I usually eat on regularly but I'm sure glad that I ordered it. Tons of flavor and wasn't drowned in sauce like some places. Apparently there are 3 levels of spiciness, but since I'm not a fan of spice/hot dishes, I opted for the "no spice". Also, ddidn't want the spice to overload my taste buds. Overall, I liked this dish a lot. If this place wasn't so far, I would go here often. Probably only when I'm in the area would I stop by again. I highly recommend this place! read more

The pork belly was soooo good, crispy and flavorful. The pho broth was also good but I didn't like that they gave me a ground beef patty instead of flank steak that was advertised. The egg rolls were on point. This place overall was pretty good and I would recommend you try it out and don't forget to get the pork belly. read more

Amazing, Love the food here. Service is always great. And the owner to the place such a sweet lady

This place has such high reviews, I've tried it twice and have not been fully satisfied. Both times I've orders the pork belly. First time it was chewy and not crispy and chowmein was okay. Second time the pork belly was over done and chowmein was sweet. I don't know if I'll be giving this a third try. read more

It's been almost a year since I've last tried this place. I didn't try what I got last time because was scared I might get the same experience last time. So this time I got some crispy pork belly which was good! Super fresh and hot. It was $13.99 and you get a lot for the portion. The skin was super crispy and the sauce they provide with it was so delicious! It tastes very much like home. Although I do have to admit it was a bit dry, could have been juicer. But this doesn't take away from the flavor. (4/5) I also got the Korean garlic cheese bread which was also tasty! It's not like your typical garlic bread, they added cream cheese and a bit of sweetness. (4/5). They were pretty busy when I came in. I didn't call in, just walked in and waited roughly 10-15 mins? Not bad at all. I'm glad I came back to give this a try again. I will definitely come back again. read more

Different order taking and service from any other pho restaurant. There really isn't any service, they just take your order at the register and then bring your food. Drinks and napkins are self serve. I had the Thai boat, it's a little too "herbal" and "earthy" for me. Can definitely smell and taste the herbs, very overpowering, but if you like that flavor then this is the place to go for your Thai boat. I had Thai boat at their new location before and it was not herbal and earthy like this. I prefer Thai boat at the new location. read more

Good food, mostly this location is popular for take away. Sitting capacity is limited. Service is very good with smiles on the faces

Love it the owner is nice and the food is goooooood! Come here I recommend everything is so tasty

The rice was dry and sticky, it didn't seem freshly made to me. I don't think it had much flavor. The orange chicken wasn't as tender as I felt it should be, sort of hard to chew. One plate they messed up on but we kept it anyways. It's a small eating space. Tables are a little too close together. I would not recommend a large group. Plus I didn't like how they had their storage towards the back of where the seating is and also storage in the restroom. That should be in an area customers cannot see. read more

The Payaya salad was great. The price was fair, and the quantity was plentiful. I personally like my papaya salad made like this (more fish sauce and msg). The Thai Boat was decent. I enjoyed the rich broth and roasted garlic. I wasn't a fan of the crispy pork belly, but that's a personal preference. My favorite food we tried was the chicken. It had great flavor and didn't even need any sauce. I would go back for this chicken. read more

Food was pretty good. we ordered the Thai boat, fried chicken and sticky rice, beef larb (medium) and papaya salad. The Thai boat was really flavorful and good! Haven't had good Thai boat in a while and this was really good. The beef larb also was a fav. They staff offered cucumbers, Thai chili peppers and shrimp paste! They were really fast and helpful! The papaya salad was a little on the sweet side, we preferred more of a fishy flavor. The fried chicken and sticky rice was pretty good! The jeow and sticky rice was perfect with it and the amount of chicken in one order was fulfilling! Dining in was nice, they had paper plates and bowls, the restaurant was stocked up with everything your house would! Will return to try other dishes! If I could give 4.5 I would, but 4 because I really wanted papaya and it wasn't what I expected read more

We loved LA kitchen. We chose it at random because it was near our nephew's house and we were looking for somewhere nearby to eat, but it was really good. I wish I'd taken pictures but fortunately there are already a lot of pictures of the place! It's a very casual and seemingly popular spot because it was very busy and full, with many people dining in and many people getting to-go orders. Whether you're eating there or not, you order at the counter first and pay. Then if you're staying, you sit down and they bring the food out. Servers and cashiers are all efficient and friendly. We got some papaya salad and egg rolls to share, and then for our meals, I got the meal #1, the fried chicken with sticky rice and the others with me both got orange chicken and fried rice. (I didn't try theirs but they said it was very good.) The papaya salad was delicious and crunchy -- there was plenty of it, with plenty of sauce. There were peanuts on the table which we could add. The egg rolls were great too -- fresh and crisp and good flavors. I loved the dinner #1! The fried chicken does not look like American fried chicken with a heavy coating (again, sorry I didn't get pictures but refer to the many fried chicken pictures here). It's reddish and crispy and perfectly seasoned. You get FOUR big pieces of chicken, and an ENORMOUS amount of sticky rice which is perfectly cooked . Seriously the three of us could have shared that one meal I got. I had lots of leftovers. The meal also came with a small sauce cup full of very spicy pepper sauce -- also delicious. We loved our meal and will definitely come back when we're on this side of town: next time hopefully I'll remember to get pictures to add to the review! read more

The service is friendly and welcoming. The place is smaller than what I had expected, but luckily we were able to get a table large enough to accommodate 8 ppl. It's self-seating on a first come first serve basis. The ambiance was overall, okay. There are two doors for entering and exiting so it helps with the flow of traffic, but it doesn't help with the flies that come in. That was a bit bothersome to eat and wack the flies away. I ordered the Kopiak and chicken laab as entrees and egg rolls for appetizers. They were all great! The Kopiak is refreshing with fresh flavors from the chicken broth and added herbs. I liked how the chicken laab had an authentic bitter taste to it. The egg rolls were crispy, but a little burnt looking so you know they needed to change their oil. Overall, it was delicious and I would visit again. read more

This is my baby. I love Fresno so much more because we have LA Kitchen. Everything I've tried has been so comforting and perfect. My friends are used to me always suggesting this place to eat at when we go out. read more

It was a quick great experience. I wanted some noodles and this place had the opportunity to order on line to pick up. (Sometimes is more confortable just doing it on line than talking to someone). I just ordered the noodles chow Mein and it was almost ready when I got there. The noodles tastes freshly made. They had a great salty tasteful flavor. I really loved it. The lady that serve me was so nice and friendly. Definitely coming back. This place Is around the corner of my house It can't be any better. I Forgot to get the picture of the noodles. They have a variety of food and drinks. I want to try the sugar cane drinks next time. Thank you for the service LA Kitchen!! read more

The 4-star average lured me on, but I just don't agree. Two of us had the chicken pho which was ok, the broth was a bit bland with chicken, Napa cabbage and noodles. My friend had the shrimp spring rolls which she couldn't finish as the shrimp was rubbery and flavorless. Hubby had the orange chicken which was very doughy and overcooked. Gave it a try, but don't need to revisit. read more

Last month, I bought 2 orders of the crispy pork belly. I picked them up and was super excited to share them with my friend since we often go there to eat the pork belly. When I opened them 10 minutes later, they were old and dry. I couldn't go back because we were doing a picnic lunch with her son at school. When I called LA Kitchen to let them know I didn't appreciate the old pork belly they gave me, she claimed that they only sell fresh pork belly. Didn't apologize or anything, just tried to brush me off and said they don't serve old pork belly. I've had their pork belly enough to know it does not look like that when fresh. Paid $36 for 2 orders of this old dried pork belly. Super disappointed and will never go back. read more

The food here has always been amazing but I was extremely shocked by the service today. Amy took my order at the counter and immediately after I paid for my food and sugar cane, she turned around to this heated food cabinet to grab a premade togo box of what I ordered. When she turned back around, I explained that I was dining in and it wasn't for to-go. I didn't say it in a rude way at all but she slammed down the bag and gave me a dirty look and said "Why didn't you tell me that at the beginning?" and proceeded to tell me to "Just go find an empty table and sit down". Maybe she was having a bad day but she did not need to be so condescending and rude. I sat down and waited less than five minutes for my food so I really don't understand why she had to be so mean if it didn't take much time at all for the kitchen to make it for dine in. I don't ever write reviews but this interaction was just so extremely rude and left a bad impression of the restaurant on me. She also never made my sugar cane, and I had to ask another staff for it. read more

Nice people running this place. The space used to house Taste Kitchen so I was familiar with the layout. The dining area is on the smaller side. The portions of the chicken plate are very generous. The skin had that 'jerky' texture which I love! Also tried the egg rolls and they're better or rival similar places in town. They were not seeping with grease and were not cooked in old oil which is key to that fresh and crispy texture. I have a lot of family on this side of town and food choices can be minimal unless it's drive thru. so glad LA kitchen has become an option! read more

Very clean and friendly, welcoming staff. Menu is simple and posted. Ordered the sticky rice with chicken, full-sized fried pork belly and med spiced papaya salad. Waited about 5 mins for our food. Most of the sticky rice and chicken, sausage and pork belly is all prepacked in the warmer. The sticky rice with chicken was a huge portion, there was literally 4 chickens the chicken was good it did have a slight sweet flavor to it, jel came in the packaging. The pork belly was fresh and crunchy the sauce that came with it was green and was a bit too salty for my taste. The papaya salad was delicious I was worried it would be too spicy since I accidently ordered med instead of mild but it all worked out, there was a nice spicy kick to it but I didn't think it was too overwhelming where it wasn't enjoyable. They have a sitting area to the right as you enter. Overall, it was a good experience, customer service was great and they worked fast and handled the rush quite well and the food was good. Will definitely return. read more

LA Kitchen has one of the most comfy and heartwarming Asian food in Fresno. You can't go wrong with the chicken and sticky rice or the pork belly and sticky rice. It may seem expensive but you get a lot of food for what you pay for. The pho is also pretty good, it is more like Lao style and not like a typical Vietnamese restaurant but it is still very good. The workers are always very nice when I have went. If you are dining inside the wait is not too long, and food always tastes better fresh. :) read more

Food was very basic. Almost like a fancy Panda Express. We ordered the sweet & spicy chicken and chow main plate , orange chicken and fried rice plate, and crispy pork belly and sticky rice. The plates are big and could've be shared. I liked the chow main. The fried rice was mushy. I found it strange that the crispy pork belly was pre-made when all the plate items had to be made. Reminded me of 11-7 food. Hopefully they switch out their food often. read more

We came here for lunch yesterday and it was hit or miss. The owners are the nicest people ever!! I would give them 3 1-2 stars if Yelp allowed me to. We ordered the fried chicken with sticky rice, mango sticky rice, larb, and chow mein with orange chicken. The fried chicken and mango sticky rice were very good. The chicken had very good flavor. The larb was solid and the lettuce was fresh. The chow mein and orange chicken was not great. The chow mein was soggy and was not my favorite. The orange chicken sauce was to goopy and not enough orange flavor. I will be back to try their soups I think that is what their best dishes are because everyone around us was ordering that. read more

Man, I don't know where to start with how incredible the food at LA Kitchen are. To start as an appetizer I had ordered the medium heat papaya salad and the steamed scrambled egg in the shell. The papaya salad, in my opinion was very refreshing and delectable. The flavor wasn't overpowering and the amount of heat was just right. Next, the Thai Boat bowl is packed with so much content and flavor that just by looking and smell the bowl already made me full. The broth is deep in flavor and it goes really well with the fried pork belly. I was surprised just how much food you get in the bowl. You won't be disappointed with how much food you get in the Thai boat bowl. The spicy raw beef laab was good. The beef is fresh and is seasoned with all of the right seasoning making it delicious with the sticky rice. The portion was pretty generous and the slices of the beef were prepared just right so you can pinch just enough of it with a small handful of sticky rice. Overall, I am exceptionally pleased with the quick service and preparation of the food. I loved every dish as every dish were super tasty! I plan on come back again the next time I am in town. This is probably my favorite Hmong restaurant in town to date. read more
