Solid 3.5. Service was excellent. Waitress/Bartender was attentive to everyone sitting and eating and the patrons at the bar. Some of the food was excellent and some not so much. Kimichi fries were delicious. Fries were fried perfectly and nicely seasoned. Ravioli was delicious; could have drank the sauce. Only problem was I got my dish very late. My husband and friend both were well into their dinners as I had gotten mine. One of the less appetizing was the chicken karage. Super breaded and soft. Husband had the ramen burger. Fun but difficult to eat. Would definitely go again, but now we know what to order. read more

This is my absolute favorite spot to come for a few drinks and some food in Fresno. Small menu that is perfected and nothing I've ordered has been nothing less than excellent! The best item is in the winter they have a continuous special of a Ramen. I've eaten most of the ramen in this city and this might be the best bowl. Small cozy bar with great food, kind of a no-brainer read more

Service is excellent Whiskey selection is superior to anything in Fresno. If you like rare whiskeys. They got you. Food is next level. Everything on the menu is a hit. The bar and restaurant is very nice to take your buddies for a drink or your girl on a nice date. read more

Boyfriend and I came here for lunch on a Wednesday. We were the only people there. There was one person that greeted and served us. Service was mediocre. We sat ourselves and grabbed our own menus. The first one I took wasn't even the food menu. Food came out pretty quick. Popcorn chicken and grilled cheese turkey sandwich was alright. Pork belly plate was good. Meat was marinaded well. I'm used to a more thick cut pork belly but the thin slice was still good. I really liked the egg on top and kimchi on the side. There were lots of great tea options and they also had a full liquor and wine bar. Brew was also available. Not quite sure about coming back. If anything, I would probably order for pick up. read more

Date night! I wanted someone that would be laidback enough I didn't have to dress up, adult like (a break from my kids), and had good but different food. We had reservations somewhere else but I just wasn't feeling it and found this place at the last minute. First we were confused? A tea place? Where do we go inside? A car was blocking our view we didn't understand the little leaf tea and little leaf bar are next door. We entered and it was smaller inside than I expected but there were a few tables open. You can seat yourself. A few other couples were there, and someone at the bar alone. My husband asked if the TV could be changed to the world track meet and he obliged. Another couple came in later and they switched the other tv to a baseball game. I liked that they were so cool and made everyone feel at home. We ordered a few drinks, they came quick and were very good. Next week ordered the ramen burger with kimichi fries, a burrito and wings. I tasted all three and probably loved the burrito the most. It was juicy and the meat was so tender. The wings and the ramen burger were super good too. The overall experience was perfect. We will definitely be back to this local bar/restaurant. It's a great vibe with a unique menu. Two people can expect to pay about 100 bucks for drinks and a meal. See you soon! read more

Heard pretty great things about the Thai chicken salad! Must try! Walked in and greeted by a worker. Very kind. I ordered it, paid for it and sat down at the bar. The worker was happy to give me a water while I waited for the salad to be ready. Very nice bar! Also tables to sit at. Two TVs on the wall. There's also tables and chairs to sit at. Great atmosphere. Laid back. Also received the menu to check out. They definitely have a bunch of different great drinks to try and a lot of other delicious menu food items. Definitely plan on coming back to have drinks soon! Received order shortly later with good day & enjoy lunch lunch wishes! It smelled delicious! Lunchtime! Thai chicken salad was really delicious! Chicken was really flavorful! Fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and a nice crunch with the won ton topping! Great dressing on the side too! Fantastic lunch! Great service too! Highly recommended! read more

Cute little spot. We got there a little before the kitchen closed, phew! Check ins were neither here nor there, had to wave down for drinks a bit. Service helped with any questions that we had at the time. The set up was nice for a dinner out. We had gotten the bibimbap, and the tofu parmigiana. The bibimbap was clean and simple. Tried hailing to get more red sauce but I think that was the only discourse. The tofu parmigiana was nice and crispy. I think my only gripe would be wanting thinner slices so it isn't such a block and more sauce to balance. Good for a night with drinks. The tea infusions are definitely interesting. Will be by to try other options since the table next to us said we made a grave mistake not getting the kimchi fries. read more

Pic fail! We started eating before I remembered to take a pic! The Thai Chicken Salad was so delicious and very filling. I love a hardy salad that leaves you satisfied. The chicken comes covered in a deep red sauce that is so yummy. When mixed the salad had plenty of delicious flavor with each bite. I would absolutely order it again. My friend ordered some sliders. They come with two and she devoured them. She kept saying how delicious they were. The Mayo looking sauce on the side was so flavorful and she requested more. She's also used the sauce that came with our egg rolls on her sliders too. That sauce was delicious too! I did order the Mediterranean Egg Rolls. I personally didn't care for them because of the lamb. I believe they use bits of lamb shank which I don't really care for, it's too gamey for me. But if you love lamb shank you'll love this dish too. They were cooked perfectly and the dipping sauce was SO good! I have to come back a try the drinks. The service was awesome, food great, atmosphere was cozy and relaxing. The place is very clean and I can't wait to go back! read more

My sister and her friend were in town and I looked to yelp for a new place to eat that would have food that all of us could eat. Little Leaf Bar looked to check all the boxes! The actual experience was a bit odd, however. It appears to be 80% bar and 20% restaurant...regulars seem to gather to watch high impact cage fighting or other sporting events on the television and play dice games, talk loudly and yell at the combatants on the screen. The drinks were good, the food was adequate (my sister's friend liked his burrito, I had mixed feelings about my bim bim bap bowl, my sister enjoyed her garlic pasta and the garlic fries and the edamame were very good), but nothing to support the price or distractions of the bar crowd. I think the owner was among the bar crowd and he did provide some direction to the servers on occasion...the rest of the time he was deeply involved in the dice game and TV viewing. We felt a bit awkward as non-regulars and I will likely not return unless I need a quick drink and feel like watching cage fighting. read more

The best part of traveling on business is always getting the opportunity to try new places. The worst part about Little Leaf is that is can only be a new place once; and it will become a regular stop in Fresno. Coworker and I both had the ramen burger and shared the crispy Brussels sprouts. We both agreeL, life altering on all fronts. I also had one of the teas, an earl gray, don't remember which one but it was wonderful as well. read more

Wow! Amazing service, great drinks and good food! Ice Candy was a good sweet and tart cocktail! The popcorn chicken is a must! Such a quiet place, perfect for date night or watching the Giants game, highly recommend! read more

Ambiance in the bar area was well thought out. It had a low-key intimate bar/lounge feel good for a hangout or date night. Food was decent in taste and presentation but in my opinion a bit overpriced for what it was. Probably the priciest spicy pork I've ever had by like $5. My husband got the Last Date cocktail ($11) which tasted like watered down medicine/Robitussin to me. It would've been nice if drink prices were listed on the menu. Service was alright... he checked on us often but never refilled my water. read more

This is one of the few places in Fresno that I've come to see as something like my favorite local pub. It's a great bar with a quiet, relaxed vibe - ideal for a quiet meal or a few drinks with friends. I like to go for an early dinner and a drink. My go-to dish is the Thai chicken salad - small pieces of chicken thigh coated in a slightly spicy glaze with greens, cucumbers, etc. I like the shape of the bowl it's served in, too, it kind of opens towards you. The portion is a perfect size too. I've also enjoyed their 50/50 sliders - an interesting idea which I think works, and the fries. The Moscow Mule is very good. There are lots of well drink options and plenty of sipping spirits, whiskies, etc too. They've also recently updated the wine list with a better variety of options than I had seen before, which I appreciate. Recommended. read more

I have to say, this place is a gem. I am surprised that it does not get packed on a Saturday night. My friend and I went there for a drink, we did not try any food. But if you are looking for unique cocktails, this is a place to go. Lots of drinks have tea incorporated in them. It is relatively small and cozy, but has amazing service, a great selection of whiskey and a nice atmosphere. read more

Wahoo!! Our neighborhood bar is OPEN for dine in!! My husband and I went for dinner and it was wonderful!! I had a side salad that was so fresh with spinach and artisan lettuce, homemade croutons, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots and red onions. Exactly what I love in a salad. It was fresh, delicious and I enjoyed every bite! I also ordered the vegetarian bim bim bap with a fried egg on top. Delicious! It was too much to eat so I took half home. My hubby ordered the 50/50 sliders which he enjoyed. He also got the bacon fried rice. That is one tasty dish. The crispy bites of rice.... yum! CoVid has done a number on our local small businesses so please Go Eat Enjoy!! read more

This place is a bit of everything bar, tea place and restaurant, but they are literally Out of everything you want to order! We were looking for something in our neighborhood to eat that wouldn't cost a fortune and the food was fine. However, it was super loud, more of a sports bar at night that we weren't looking to find. read more

What an amazing addition to the Fresno restaurant and bar scene! We absolutely LOVED this place! I'll explain why: 1) Happy Hour! Drink specials are minimal ($1 off tap beers), but food specials are substantial. You can save quite a bit of dough on some of their most exciting dishes, including the very popular Kimchi Fries (HUGE!), Popcorn Chicken (tasty!), and Bacon Fried Rice (almost like homemade!). There are some main dishes on special too. 2) A HUGE drink selection. Tap beers are plentiful (lots of local brews), and there is a descent selection of wine. But the real star is the gigantic offering of spirits and cocktails, including some very rare whiskies. Many bars in Fresno offer beer and wine, but it's very hard to find mixed drinks like this, and I am glad to see that a non-chain restaurant is getting into the mixology scene. If you are looking for a local bar to get a well-made cocktail at, this is your place. 3) Super yummy food!!! Everything we had was AMAZING, especially the Ramen Burger (perfectly cooked meat topped with egg and sandwiched between a homemade ramen noodle "bun." The "furikake" (Japanese seasoning) really finished the burger and fries off nicely. The popcorn chicken was cooked perfectly, and the salads were HUGE. The bacon fried rice reminds me of the comfort dish that my girlfriend cooks at home...it was really tasty. Everything was just sooooo good. 4) Cool atmosphere: trendy, yet not too pretentious. I feel like you could have a fancy date here, but could also come for happy hour after work with friends. They do a nice job of splitting the middle between upscale and casual. 5) Awesome staff: super accommodating and friendly! My only real complaint is that this place needs to be bigger since it's going to be super crowded once the word gets out about how amazing it is!!! Hopefully, they'll open a second location in the Tower or Downtown as this place continues to do well. Why aren't you eating here yet?!?! read more

Love the cozy neighborhood feel of Little Leaf Bar. Went there for the food, which is next level bar food. Started w/some deliciously delicate fries and the avocado spring roll. My entreé was the ramen burger, soooo good! It comes w/sesame French fries, but I asked for their famous kimchi fries. Now I know what all the hype is about. Hubby had the Thai chicken salad, bff had the spicy pork belly. Everyone was full and happy w/their meals. Can't wait to go back to try more. read more

Problem, i keep forgetting they have food here. I already love the amazig tea they sell, but what about the food and bar? Pros -decent size menu with different options - those on dietary restrictions will be happy about vegetation options - huge whisky selection and great drinks Cons -price could be a few bucks lower So my friend and i ordered a few things so we could spilt and share Starter -kimchi fries Just amazing. Fries are nice and crisp. Then the toppings and drizzled sauce was super tasty. My friend who hates kimchi could not stop eating them -avacado rolls Not my favorite. But interesting. Like an eggroll filled with warm avacado. Not bad but not something i would order again Main -ramen burger Ramen was soft, flavorful and very interesting, burger was super juicy and had a egg. I loved it. Served with fries and this awesome smoky ketchup -pork belly Great flavor, the rice soaks up the sauce from it. I could not put my fork down. Come with a little tasty side salad that i wished was bigger. Drinks Had a Moscow mule off the drink list. Great lime flavor, and super refreshing The food is great. But if you did price comparisons each item should be like 12 bucks not the 18. That's where the loss of a star Is. But a local place non chain resturant is good to support. Will be back read more

It was hard to choose from the different options of fries, but we went with the Tokyo fries which were delicious and with the perfect crisp (for me ). My spicy pork belly dish was yummy as well.

Stopped in for happy hour a couple of weeks ago after realizing this place has a full bar. I was thirsty. Had a couple of beers and I'm glad to report the selection of beers on tap was above average. They had some decent IPAs and other craft on tap. Also shared an appetizer (some fancy type of sliders-maybe kobe beef?) that was on happy hour. Overall, I enjoyed the visit and would probably go back. I always just thought it was a tea house so I never bothered checking it out. I didn't realize it has the two different sections. read more

Does not have a happy hour as described so many places online. When we mentioned that, bartender shrugged it off that they just haven't updated their online presence. Also, menus have no pricing for drinks, which usually means overpriced. We didn't stay because we were annoyed by the response. read more

What a hidden gem! Grew up in the area and never knew this existed (there is a tea place of the same name with a huge sign so I was somewhat familiarly with the "little leaf" part of the name. I was thoroughly surprised to see a bar of the same name on Yelp. Great service, delicious food, and drinks that were worth the cost. We will definitely be visiting again! We had the appetizer chicken wings, spicy pork belly burrito, ramen burger with kimchi, and the bim bim bap. I would absolutely recommend all the dishes. Great flavor and generous portions. read more

Great Neighborhood jewel...you'll be pleased with a delightful dinner of menu selections to satisfied both vegan and meat lovers... Start with their chicken wings kimchi fries or edamame 50/50 sliders are juicy & each a good serving of meat The rosemary chicken quarter was juicy had crispy skin , topped w/chunky cranberry sauce & served on a generous bed of sautéed mushrooms Korean ribs were also perfectly seasoned another generous portion presented with a lightly dressed mix green salad steamed rice & generous serving of mushrooms The vegetarian Bim Bim Bop w/sunny side up egg & on a large serving of white was another great selection Although dinner hours are short (5-8 pm)the chief is able to handle every order quickly with the freshest ingredients ...a couple arrived at 8:10 and was disappointed the kitchen had closed so plan to arrive for a early dinner...price can't be beat considering the freshness & unique presentation of every dish The owner George has created a relaxing dining experience read more

My favorite thing about this place was its trendy vibe and food/drink options. I ordered the ramen burger and substituted the sesame fries with kimchi fries. The kimchi fries were really good.

Great unique food, cozy, full bar and George makes you feel at home. I highly recommend.

Expect terrible service. The waiter spent the entire time drinking and watching baseball with his buddies at the bar, leaving us awkwardly waiting to order or pay for the bill for 20 minutes at a time because he'd seemingly forget we were there. The food didn't make any of the frustration worth it, either. It wasn't much of a surprise that we were the only ones eating the entire time. read more

Such a cool concept: tea, gourmet Asian fusion, and whiskey bar featuring a healthy portfolio of Japanese brands. The wife and I love walking over for an easy but exciting start or finish to a date night. Prices are medium for Fresno, but the quality of tea, food, and drink (as well as the cool attitudes of the folks that work here) make it all worth it. Our last dinner was made of appetizers. Spicy seaweed salad, avocado egg rolls, bruschetta, and kimchi fries. read more

My brother brought me here for my birthday and I really enjoyed the ambiance and food! Comments: Food: Kimchi Fries - BOMB! They were delicious (just the right crisp and such great flavor). This is definitely something you share with at least two people. If they had sashimi here, I would of ordered a side to go with the Kimchi Fries and eat it as a meal. Regular 50/50 sliders - MMmm... Juicy. The meat was moist and flavorful and the bread was lightly toasted. It might not be filling on it's own but definitely another nice appetizer to share. Pop Corn Chicken - Perfectly breaded and fried. It's not your cheap batter like KFC or Popeyes either. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the sweet sauce but that's my preference. Thai Chicken Salad - LOTs of chicken, tasted great (wide variety of vegetables to go into it with lots of texture; you've got cucumbers, tomatoes, fried wonton and the mixed greens). Only comment is that there's too much sauce. I also tried some of my brother's Garlic Rosemary Chicken and it was also well cooked - still moist with great flavor from the rosemary and garlic herbs. Ambiance: - It's not too noise and the lighting is warm. I think it's a great spot to take a date too. - They've got a TVs on as well. We were able to watch a basketball game while there. All-in-all, I'd definitely go there again. They do a great job for such a small venue. read more

I love this place! I always order the 805 marinated steak with mushrooms and rice as my sides; it never disappoints!

I really wanted to give this place 4 of 5 stars, especially given how much people seem to love it on yelp, but I don't think my experience here warrants it. Disclaimer: I have only been here one time, so I give them the benefit of the doubt that this may have been an "off" evening. I would like to give this place one more shot. First off, what's good: - A good variety of asian fusion options to pick from - Tasty garlic and kimchi fries - Quality drinks and cocktails - Friendly waiter - Great happy hour deals However, I couldn't get over a few major problems with my dinner here. - These nice waiters did not have service well coordinated. First, my boyfriend's entree was served, 5 minutes later our appetizer came, and then 15 minutes later my plate finally arrived. - I got the ramen burger, half hoping it would compare to the ones I have had in the past but it did not. The ramen was unbelievably greasy, so much so that it couldn't even maintain its shape as a "bun." - I can't put my finger on it, but the ambiance is lacking. There isn't great lighting and the decor is a bit boring. It could really use a change to its look. Overall, I would love to try this place again, especially to take advantage of their happy hour deals, but my first dinner here was lacking. read more

We paid $30 for this and 2 small sliders. they took way too long to bring out the food and when they finally brought it was cold even though we were the only customers there. The food was very bland and it was small portion. It wasn't fulling at all and way too overpriced. Will not go again read more

I went fairly early on a Saturday evening. The bar was quiet, and my group was well attended to. I had a glass of wine that was okay, and a cocktail that was much better. I liked the food and the fact that there were several tofu options on the menu, but wasn't impressed that they were close to being as expensive as the meat dishes. I would definitely go again, but maybe not for dinner. read more
