What an experience!!! And a very great first time. I came in being cursed at for waiting in the parking lot for so long but when it was time to order she wasted no time getting straight to business and ensuring I got what the F*** I wanted. The meal she said I'd like was the " Bomb Ass Shit" and let me tell ya it was packed with some great flavor!!' The fried rice was so good I never been much of a chow mein person, but this fried rice was really savory. I also enjoyed the spicy beef it has some great season and the beef was cooked so well you could till this place took pride in the meats it's served and the fresh produce as well, I killed all my broccoli hahah. I had enough on my plate for two people but I ate as much as I could and brought the rest back home. Pro tip: cook and over medium egg the next morning, warm the rice on a frying pan or Nuke it, place the over medium egg on top of this amazing fried rice and you got yourself a bomb breakfast. The ambiance is spacey, relaxing and clean, before I walked in they were mopping the floors and cleaning all tables so I know how clean it is and how thorough they were to make sure it was prepared for the rush on a Friday evening. Overall I really enjoyed me Experience, people complain about the price but for me that was more than enough food for two people and the quality of meat, produce, chicken and authenticity of style of cooking, and that personality when you first come in is something you can't pay for, and an experience worth trying. I'll be back again and thank you for the amazing food. read more

After seeing a few posts I decided to drive over and give it a shot. Parking was a snap and plenty of room to navigate around, being noontime I expected more congestion but not today. I love walking into a restaurant with the aroma wafting through the air and with the colorful menu it's easy to get caught up looking at all the options. Being a shrimp fan I chose the spicy dish and mentioned to her that hot doesn't bother me, she said I'll be happy with the dish. I absolutely love the service and humor goes a long way when enjoying a "Big A** plate" , she wondered why I haven't been there before this, but Fresno is a very big city and I'm sure there are other places I haven't been to either. I used chop sticks for sampling which created a smile on her face and an expression of appreciation was noticed. Check the pictures and see what you think. read more

Food was great. We went on a Saturday before closing and the line wasn't too long. Service was super fast and food came out in about 15/20 mins. Mama is super funny as soon as you walk in you know you in the right spot. We ordered the chow mein with beef from broccoli and shrimp besides shrimp, fried rice, pork, eggrolls, and orange chicken. Total came up to about $80. Everything was good. I really liked the noodles and the orange chicken. The the rice was good nothing to spectacular. Overall great service will go again if I'm in the Fresno area. read more

Went because of the viral videos and was not disappointed. The lady who takes your order is really funny and energetic. If foul language bothers you; just move on this is not the place for you. The food was very good. I loved everything. Next time I think it would be worth our money to get two ; two meat special plates rather than one with three meat for the price. Great flavor, good portions, TONS of options. I'm sure you'll find something you like. I will definitely go back. I believe are said they have been open for 26 years. There is inside seating, plenty of parking, area is a bit sketch but we enjoyed our meal in the dining room without any issues. read more

Mark's Kitchen - Menu - American Near Me - Fresno, California

Food 5/5 Fresh, flavorful, affordable and loaded Service 5/5 All fun Ambiance 5/5 Chill Parking 5/5 Enough for about 15 cars wrapping from side to back to the other side. Restaurant 3.7/5 not decorated as others, simple and good amount of seating but who cares for it when the food is what matters Mark's kitchen is a family owned and operated serving a bunch of deliciousness from regular Chinese food to a few American items for the picky eaters. Killing two birds with one stone, excellent idea. Arriving to steady customers coming and going in the early mornings from Vegas, Bakersfield, locals and of course the capital visitor (that's me) . Helen is full of spirit from arriving in, taking orders, and having the customers tried the food before paying. (Love her rules). Her upbeat spirit, the crazy menu names (lol) and the way she curses and treat you like a regular just have you feeling right at home. She is like an "EVERYONE Auntie." What you see on social media is not a front and the food is amazing as well. I'm so glad that I stopped by and give this amazing business a try and Mark's is a must MARK as a designated stop. FYI: Bring cash if you will make a big deal on paying the extra $1.50 for fee. She asked if I was getting a soda. I told her I have water. She allowed me to bring my own drink in telling to go get it. Lol read more

The food is good and the owner is a real character. She likes to tease and joke around with the customers, but it's all in good fun! I had the chow mien noodles with beef. The noodles were cooked just right and had lost of vegetables mixed in with them. The beef was tasty and a little bit crispy at the edges. There was a lot of food, so I had leftovers. Yes, they were still good the next day! It's very casual inside, so don't expect white linen tablecloths or crystal glassware. Just good food and fun. read more

This is another one of those infamous because I am on tik tok. This is the restaurant that the owner loves to deprecate you then swindle you out of your cash. There are menu boards with beautiful pictures with elevated prices. That you can choose from but there is also the hyped menu so in her broken English she tells you to go for the big fat bomb or something similar. You're in it as she is barraging you with insults and slurs. We were all laughing and said just pick for us, answer a few more questions regarding spicy and soft or crunchy noodles. Again you're all part of theatrical experience. She then calls you up to the counter opens the box for your first taste that she puts on the camera roll. The food itself is tasty, albeit most Chinese food is, she says pay after you eat. The food is bountiful. You get a ton of food, so how much does this entertainment run you $38 for a pound of noodles and fried rice and another half pound of steak, chicken and shrimp. We were part of the show, but the show and the food have to provide value and that did not happen on this trip. Besides she cheats as she has many boyfriends. It is fun for the first time. No need to go again. read more

So I need to give my honest opinion so please don't come at me okay . I'm doing this review to help my friends and followers out . So had been wanting to check this place out for a while because I had been seeing it on my TikTok. So this is how it went the place was open @10:45 there was already customers waiting in the parking lot. So I was very excited. Walk in and simple spot nothing to crazy. It was kind of dusty in some area not very up to date on decoration it was very simple. The staff were very nice and helpful the lady was very sweet and full of energy. The food was hot and very nicely made . It was very quick to be honest. They got so much menu I didn't know where to start to be honest . But I kept it simple not going to crazy for my first time . The price was on the expensive side to me . I bought a few things and it was $114 . I tried the food on the spot and I was kind of disappointed to be honest I was hoping for more flavor. If I tried the noodles alone it was bland it was a little better with the other stuff with it . But yeah it was good but not like the best I ever had . I would give the food 6/10 and a 8/10 for the friendliness. Will I hope you give them a try and tell me what you think . read more

Helen is who brings people in, but her & the food is what brings people back. We've been here multiple times since moving here temporarily. Helen is always nice & fun to hang with while waiting on your order. The food always tastes fresh & they have huge portions. They are on the pricier side but you do get big portions. *HEADS UP TO PARENTS WITH YOUNG KIDS The only reason why I deducted 1 star is because Helen will not (& I don't expect her too) filter her cursing at all when there are little kids around. Our 1st time coming here we had family in town that wanted to go, so I sent them in first to order while I stayed in the car with my 3 kids. I figured if they went in 1st they could have their "experience" & make a video of Helen talking smack & cursing at them (like all the viral social media clips.) I was hoping that after they got their video & they called me to come in so I could order with my kids that she would tone it down a bit, NOPE. She was dropping F bombs like crazy in front of my 3 kids under 10 years old. My visiting family said they she started cussing even more once I came in with my little kids. I'm not raising soft kids, but I thought it was pretty disrespectful on her part since she no longer needed to put on a show for anyone since we were the only customers in there. We've been there numerous times since but our kids never want to go in so we always get our food to go. Just a heads up for parents. read more

This was my first time here and I didn't know what to order. Helen was very nice and asked if I wanted some chicken or a lot of chicken. A lot of chicken would've been $30. Some chicken is $25. She asked if I liked spicy I said absolutely so she said she was gonna put jalapeños on it. It was good food and I was able to make two meals out of it. Bring cash so you won't have to pay extra charges on a credit card. read more

Wow, you all gotta go there and try their delicious food, with so much food in your box to go or eat there too. The cashier lady is hilarious with her daily sense of humor. She is the bomb, gotta love her. The ambiance is normal seating inside and the bathrooms are in the back of the building. Yes, I need to go back when we are in Fresno again. I would recommend my friends, family and newcomers try them out. My niece and nephew were there a couple of weeks ago and agreed there food and the lady was worth trying Mark's Kitchen! read more

I was influenced to come here through all of the viral tik toks at this restaurant! It was completely packed on a Saturday around noon, so it looks like everyone else also has been influenced. Glad that this family-owned restaurant is gaining traction :) The lovely woman who took our order is exactly like she appears on tik tok. She is hilarious but also incredibly kind. I would come back just for her! The food unfortunately is honestly just okay. It was lacking lots of flavor and felt overtly greasy. I wanted to love it, but it's just alright. My plate cost about $20 after tax. Nonetheless, happy to support this local business. read more

Food had so much flavor and lots of meat and chow mein. This can be for 2 because of how much food there is. Service was fast and nice. I came here on a Monday afternoon and it still was busy. Lots of parking available. The chicken is very tender and juicy. Love the blend of the shrimps and chicken to add extra flavor. I never knew that jalapeños on Chinese food would be this good. Love the combos. read more

Mark's Kitchen - Beef & shrimps chow mein - American Near Me - Fresno, California

Food is strangely so heavy and super fulfilling! Idk if it's the msg, or from the loud cashier lady being so energetic and demanding, but yeah, I think the food there tastes mediocre. If you're looking for a savory and heavy type of meal, this is it. Take your drunk self over there and order something. Don't expect to pay less than $15 for a plate, because I remember paying almost $35 for a plate. And if I have to be honest, I should've just paid that much at spicy j or j pot or even PF changs for that price, so was it worth it? Kinda not. But it is a popular restaurant for people here in town. Don't take my word for this. But I've had better and their food wasn't as tasty, nor was service polite or pleasant. I felt as if I was being yelled at and nearly pressured or threatened, while having to just smile through out the entire ordering experience. I haven't order there since, but I think about them all the time. Strange ! read more

What a fun place! The menu was huge and I would suggest the beef for sure! It was like a bulogi beef flavor and was bomb!! Homemade chili sauce is unique and flavorful with a kick!

So had the opportunity to come here today and what an experience! Complete nostalgic Fresno spot! I was talking to one of my daughters that I was going to be in Fresno this week for work and she showed the videos of this place and was like dad you have to try this place! This place is a complete dive! I am not sure if Guy Fieri has ever been here but he might be offended. Inside the ambience has t been updated since it probably opened. The bathrooms are outback and the neighborhood not so great but that's what makes this place great! Food was pretty killer but be forewarned you get a ton of food so anything you order is enough for 2-3 people. Don't be intimidated by the lady at the front counter she is what makes this place awesome! Only only intention is to make sure you love this place! She will make great recommendations and ensure that your food experience is an awesome one. I had the orange chicken and the jalapeño chicken over fried rice. Food was incredible and loved every bite, but could barely eat 1/3 of my meal. This will be dinner and possibly lunch for the next day. All my co-workers as well loved their food and we all left needing to be wheeled out in a good comma. Don't go down the negative snooty hole on this place go for what it is and I also heard their burgers are also pretty dam good as well. Give it a try for sure! read more

This was out 1st time visiting and have been wanting to try this place out since it went viral. If you don't like how you are spoken to like she does in her videos or get your feelings hurt easily then this is not the place for you. She talks to everyone like this. We really enjoyed our visit here. She was really friendly too. It was really busy but the line moved fast and the food was even faster. The menu is big and I didn't know what to order so I took her advice and ordered the Bomb ass shit and let me tell you it was amazing. Eating them as leftovers was even better. There was so much food that my husband and I ate off of 1 plate for 2 days. We had the egg rolls and those were so delicious too. Food was cooked to order and you can tell that all the vegetables were prepared fresh and were not frozen. Make sure to bring cash as they charge for card. We absolutely loved this place and want to go back soon. It's not that noisy either. read more

Working on a project in Central Valley and I decided to try this spot that has so many reviews. The spot s small and inside is just like your typical Chinese take out. Staff is courteous, however be ready to wait as they are busy. I ordered their fan favorite, "Bomb Ass Shit" and some egg rolls. (sorry no picture). Egg rolls were ok, no big rave about them. Chow mien was tasteless, however fried rice had good flavor. Chicken and pork were so so... shrimp was the only thing that stood out as it was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. Overall, this place is just alright and overpriced. I would not go out of my way to eat here, but might stop in if I was in town and hungry. Honestly, Panda Express is an equal option and cheaper. read more

Mark's Kitchen - Givng this place a try since I'm in town. - American Near Me - Fresno, California

I visited Mark Kitchen Fresno after seeing it heavily promoted on TikTok, but my experience was disappointing. The total charge was $29.89 for a single plate of shrimp noodles, which included a $1.50 credit card processing fee--a price that felt excessive given the overall quality. The portion size was reasonable; however, the noodles tasted commercially purchased rather than freshly prepared. The food taste was very mediocre--bland and disappointing, with nothing that justified the premium pricing. The dish lacked depth and freshness, making it feel more like inexpensive takeout than a restaurant charging nearly $30 for noodles. Additionally, I observed a staff member preparing a milk-based coffee using "Great Value" milk from Walmart, which gave the impression that lower-cost, mass-market ingredients may be used despite the restaurant's premium pricing. Overall, the food quality and taste did not match the cost. In comparison, in my opinion more affordable options such as Panda Express offer better flavor and value. The experience did not meet expectations, and unfortunately, this was my first and last visit. read more

This place is Good. For a little hole in the wall spot. It's definitely good. The food tastes great for what it is, yeah it's not some fancy gourmet Chinese food but it's way better than most Chinese places I've eaten at. The lady behind the counter whom I'd assume is the owner is super funny. She's got her own littler personality going and if you don't like the food listening to her is worth every penny! The food can be expensive but we ordered three things and ate there took the rest home and we just ate leftovers and we all still have at least two more meals left! So you're getting your moneys worth for sure. Def give this place a try you won't regret it. Anyone saying other wise is off there rocker! read more

This place can be a little overpricing if you're on a budget. But if you're looking for somebody who's trying to serve you something from Her ,give You a great show & a cool atmosphere then this place is well worth the trip. I needed to go to Bakersfield, California, which is a three hour trip From where I started. So I decided to travel the extra hour and 15 minutes to Fresno, California to go see this lady and this place was definitely worth the show the great atmosphere. This lady is just, trying to bring You the show. I recommend also if you're on a budget, order something expensive and share it between two. There's plenty of food for two people to share or order something less expensive for more flavor options. Full video on My IG Yogi469 or on the TikTok in pics.. read more

Idk what happened to my first review, but I remember how I started it. Mark's Kitchen isn't actually Mark's Kitchen. It's been around since I was a kid and Mark is long gone. We got introduced to Mark's over 9 years ago when we used to spend more time on this side of town. We became fairly regular patrons at the time for its convenience, but thats all it was at the time. A convenient place to eat with a variety of options. In fact I'll never forget, Helen said "we can make you whatever you want." Even then she was larger than life, but with the invent of TikTok, she's blown up. It's been a bit since we've been back. So long in fact, she did not remember my wife. She looked at me and said, "you I remember, but I don't remember you," referring to my wife. That's because we mostly did 'to-go' and did the leg work. Sad because my wife was excited to come back and hoping Helen remembered her. And she didn't.... What I remembered about Mark's was that you got a lot of food, so we only ordered 2 plates and a burger. I really didn't want a noodle plate because I recalled that the noodles were plain back in the day. But the crispy noodles were calling to me. My wife was looking at the combos and really wanted the one with pork sweet and sour. We go up and after initial greetings, Helen recommends my wife change her order. Swap out the chicken chow mein for Bomb A** S***. She agrees begrudgingly because she really wanted the pork sweet and sour, and even began to regret that she got talked into changing her order. Well the food comes and she is relieved to find that the pork sweet and sour is still there. We all dig in and it's better than we remember. Literally. I'm a foodie so I'm not going to act like it's the best thing I've ever eaten like I've seen on TikTok, but it's better than it was back in the day. Change is good. Not always but in this case, it's worked wonders. Helen has become a big deal and people come from far and wide to try their food and get cussed at by her. Mostly for the second reason. Now, would I travel from out of Fresno just to try the food? No. But if I was passing through and I wanted something Asian based, sure. The plates are mostly rice and noodle based, but they aren't authentic Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Laotian, Hmong, etc. Remember that. Think of it as somewhere between Panda and authentic. I was happy we came back. I've been looking forward to coming back after I've seen how Mark's (Helen really) has blown up. I guess this makes me an OG. read more
