    Panang curry chicken
    Jozel R.

    Was in the area and had this placed bookmarked for a while so my family of 4 and I decided to stop by for dinner. Arrived around 4:30pm, it's funny because as I was driving up I realized we've been here before about a year ago this restaurant used to be Thai Gem and is now replaced by another Thai restaurant. As we entered we were greeted by a kind gentleman who was putting up Christmas decor. So a year ago this placed needed major interior upgrades. It was so nice to see that they definitely did just that! The floors new, the walls painted loved to see how clean the interior was compared to before. My husband and I brought our 2 littles. The gentleman man offered us a high chair I've never seen before it's cushioned and attached to their chair. Menu and complimentary wonton chips with sweet chili sauce was provided, fresh and delicious. Our order: All mild to no spice since we had our kids and we wanted them to try. Papaya Lao style, chicken pad thai, chicken fried rice and chicken panang curry. Food started to arrive 15-20 mins after we order. Good portions and oh my, everything was delicious!! The lao papaya salad was yum so I was drinking the sauce. The pad Thai, chicken fried rice and the panang curry was so flavorful. The panang curry was rich with coconut flavor and the spice level they couldn't adjust but it wasn't spicy, it was a mild kick. Wish there were more veggies looked like it only came with peas and chicken but that was okay as long as the flavors were there. The fried rice was one of the best we've ever had! This place is solid and a hidden gem! We will definitely be revisiting soon!!! Service was great and the food amazing. It's a small restaurant and they do get pretty busy, luckily we arrive just before dinner rush. I would definitely recommend!

    Hidden gem! This was one of the only spots open on New Year's Day and oh my goodness we are so glad we tried it! The portions were large and the service was quick! We ordered our food for pickup and it was ready in about 15 minutes. I ordered the shrimp pad se ew and it had jumbo shrimp, to my surprise! They were juicy and perfectly cooked. The noodles were amazing and flavorful as well. I can't wait to try it again!

    8/30/25 Hot and New!! Must try!! They have it set up where you can order online, pick the time to pick it up and I ordered Pad See Ew with chicken extra hot and shrimp spring rolls. Paid for it and went to pick it up when at the time set. They even texted letting me know it was ready. Arrived!! Greeted by many. Very kind. Order ready & received order with well wishes! Great! Nice Inside! Clean & safe with lots of seating! Lunchtime!! Order split! Pad See Ew with chicken was DELICIOUS! Flavorful with a nice spicy kick! Shrimp Spring Roll was Fresh & DELICIOUS too! Peanut sauce included was tasty and made it even better!!! Mother said hers was Spicy & GREAT!!! Lots of leftovers!! Easily another meal for both!!! GREAT service & GREAT lunch!! They deserve every star!!! Highly recommended!!

    Clean restaurant, nice bathrooms, friendly staff, big portions and the Thai iced tea was good. But that's where it ends. I ordered the pork fried rice. It was gross and the last thing you would call fried rice. I ate a little and took the rest with me thinking I could re-cook it and make it edible. The rice wasn't fried. It was steamed rice in an awful tasting sauce. There should not be sauce pooling on the plate like it was. The vegetables were overcooked and soft, in fried rice they should be slightly undercooked and crunchy. The pork was overcooked and tough as leather. I gave up trying to chew it. I wasn't expecting much from a strip mall restaurant so I can't say I was disappointed or surprised.

    Our 2nd time here! Last time we came during the grand opening, since then I think they've refined their menu. Love how vegetarian friendly it is. We were greeted upon arrival and service was provided quickly. The restaurant is Hmong-owned and serves your favorite Thai & Lao food, along with Thai boat and pho. Food: Lao style papaya salad, mild spice. I know some people's version of spice varies but the mild was perfect for us. It had peanuts too, a good amount too. my husband & I love extra peanuts in our papaya salad. So that was a bonus. The taste was well balanced, not too sweet, sour or bitter. The texture is crunchy. Love how their have green beans and eggplants added in as well. Portion size is good. 4.5/5 for me bc maybe it should come in a plate instead of a bowl. It makes the top part kind dry and have to constantly mix it. Chowmein, no meat or veggies for the kids. It was really good! I'm not a chowmein person at all but I ended up liking it too. It has a sweet taste to it. My kids approved! Chicken egg rolls: it came with 4. My husband said it had a bit too much chicken and was plain. Red curry, veggie, no meat: REALLY GOOD! I chose the veggie option over the tofu option for vegetarian. A lot of my favorite veggies in the dish. Best red curry I had so far. My new go-to now. Pork belly (full order): my husband said it was good and crispy. He's picky with his meat/food and he liked it. Sticky rice: husband got 2 orders of sticky rice to eat with his meat and papaya salad. Drinks: Thai tea: taste good but a bit sweet. I added a bit of my iced water to it. Service: Waiter was friendly and fulfilled our requests. Really appreciate it! Price: Everything total 82.28 before tips. It's not bad considering how large the portions of the food were.

    Tried Thai Taste for the first time and had a good experience. The place is a little small, but we…read moregot seated really fast, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. 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.

    I have really enjoyed the authentic flavors from this small restaurant near Fresno State. The…read moredishes showcase the hallmark balance of Thai cuisine--sweet, sour, salty, and spicy--all working together in harmony. The Pad Gra Prow (Thai basil stir-fry) stood out for its savory, spicy, and aromatic profile. I ordered it with ground chicken, my usual choice, and it came slightly crispy yet juicy, paired with a generous amount of peppery Thai basil. The rich umami sauce--built from soy, oyster, and fish sauce--coated the meat well, and it was served over rice with a crispy-edged fried egg. I prefer a runnier yolk, and the dish leaned a bit salty, but the bold, spicy flavors still made it a winning combination. The pad prik king was another highlight--a vibrant "dry" curry stir-fry with an intense salty-sweet heat and a fragrant citrus aroma from shredded kaffir lime leaves. I ordered it with beef, which was coated in a thick, concentrated red curry paste without coconut milk. The result was a glossy, deeply flavorful dish with a savory, aromatic, and fiery profile. A great version of this dish strikes a balance between a sharp salty punch and a subtle underlying sweetness, and this one delivered. The green beans were bright, crisp-tender, and fresh, though I would have liked a more generous portion. The kaffir lime leaves added a fragrant, citrusy lift that cut through the richness of the curry paste. The Thai crispy pork belly (Moo Krob) has been my favorite so far. It perfectly captured the defining contrast of crispy, golden-brown skin with tender, juicy meat and rendered fat. The dish was deeply savory and aromatic, with a subtle smoky undertone that added depth. Overall, the dishes are well-balanced and vibrant, showcasing fresh ingredients, bold herbs, and contrasting textures. Each plate reflects the complexity of Thai cooking, with a thoughtful interplay of flavors. The co-owner, originally from northern Thailand, brings extensive experience from running several popular restaurants in Thailand--this being her first in the United States--and that authenticity clearly comes through in the food. Thai Taste offers a menu heavy with vegan and vegetarian options, and every dish is made to order. The space itself is small, with a handful of indoor tables, some outdoor seating along the walkway, and counter seating facing the kitchen. A small cart in the center displays imported Thai snacks like spicy cookies and peanut brittle, adding a nice cultural touch. Located in the Bulldog Plaza shopping center near Fresno State, it is an ideal spot for students and anyone looking for a quick, flavorful meal without sacrificing authenticity.

    The food here was great. Everything was authentic and delicious. I'm a big Pad Thai person, and I…read morelike that the chicken on the pad Thai wasn't regular stir fried chicken. It was grilled marinated chicken. We had a pretty big party and all the food came out quickly. Like every Thai restaurant, the inside is fairly small. Aside from the food and drinks to order, everything is self served, so there will not be a waiter or waitress coming to your table. You go and make your orders at the front register. They have paper plates, napkins, plastic forks and spoons, and to-go plates available. LA Kitchen is definitely a favorite in Fresno. Love their dessert and drink options. All other Thai restaurants I've been to are incomparable.

The staff seem young and untrained, and they drop food off and disappear like it's a magic trick. No time to ask for anything--still waiting on the veggies that come with pho. At this point, I think they're being shipped from overseas. Food quality? Down bad. Prices? Up like gas. I ordered the Thai boat special, and the "fried" pork belly was basically 99% fat, 1% disappointment--and not even fried. It tasted like pho that gave up on life. We also ordered pork belly with sticky rice... or at least we thought we did. After 40 minutes and reminding three different servers, it never came. I wasn't sure if I was dining or participating in a scavenger hunt. And the restroom? No hand soap, no paper towels--just vibes. Apparently cleanliness is optional now. This used to be my spot, but I won't be back anytime soon. Maybe I'll return when the service improves... or when my pork belly finishes its long journey back from wherever it went.

    We had come here last year in the summer but I had forgotten to write a review. We came back a few…read moredays ago to get some noodles. They have a large variety of noodles here, pho, thai boat noodles, khao soy, khao poon, and also tons of other thai /cambodian / lao choices. We got a thai boat noodle, khao soy, and pork belly to share. The thai boat noodle and khao soy are delicious. It was my first time ordering khao soy I thought khao soy was a curry based dish, but my noodles were a pork based broth, still yummy though! The pork belly here is huge and served hot and super crispy, miles better than any other pork belly I've tried. The thai tea had an off putting flavor, like they had made it with soy mik? instead of condensed evaporated milk? Total was $83 after tax and tip, this place is pretty hole in the wall but even hole in the wall places have to charge more now to keep up with inflation. Great fast service !

    Khao soy. Soy happy.*…read more Why Khao Soy? Because Kh-ao piek and Kh-ao poon feel as standardized as ph-o, but Khao Soi seems to vary from shop to shop. Not just the spelling. Just my observation. And this was amongst the top 3 of the Khao Soys I've had. Lao Kao Soi anyway. The Th-ai version is a different dish to me. I came here Sunday evening. Things were slow. I told him the order just as he gave me the menu, and in exchange, he gave me a plate of bean sprouts and lime wedge instead. Haven't seen that for Kao Soy yet. Then came the utensils. And soon, the ginormous bowl, nay, tub, of KaSoy. The last time I saw a bowl this big in the Bay Area was decades ago in a pho house. They don't make extra larges like they used to in SF. I felt like Patrick, longing, staring with excitement and anticipation at SpongeBob's Pea-nut On-ion Sun-dae , trying to hold down the giggles and butterflies while my eyebrows are sparking. Except this Khao Soy actually SMELLS GOOD. And I still have my eyebrows. And I was not disappointed. The soup was HOTTT, with 3 Ts. The size of the bowl helped keep it that way. The surface of the lava lake was covered by the ground pork that defines Khao Soy. Completely. Just look at the picture. (I took a sip of the broth with the spoon before the picture) I promise you that I didn't go in with a camera in my hand, or point my phone as if I'm taking a video. Maybe it's the end of the day and they were feeling generous or just needed the ground pork gone. Well, I used my phone as a phone, and I didn't use the camera until this bowl came out. Just trust me. The broth was rich with notes of fermented bean paste and heavy notes of garlic, cut by the freshness of tomatoes. Heavy by the standards of a rice noodle soup. The lime helps. You might want to use an extra wedge too. Don't hold back though. There's a treasure hunt in progress. You see, within this bowl were a bunch of roast pork pieces. Quality roast pork pieces. The chicharron still very crispy when I got to each piece. (But that doesn't mean you should sin by letting the chicharron get soggy!) Seems like others have their roast pork left on top, but mine had sunk to the bottom when the Khao soy had landed. No big. This is like how won-ton noodle soups are served when you're Canto, the best stuff at the bottom. What impressed was that the roast pork was still crispy! The particular flat rice noodles used seems to be re-hydrated dried noodles. Normally a downgrade but in this case, a good move. Yes, fresh noodles carry the soup better, but in this boiling cauldron, the noodles used handled the heat much better and longer. After I had finished the noodles, the soup was still very hot, enough that I added the bean sprouts, which were still cooked to a point that they were absorbing the soup's flavor. I tried to finish the soup, but failed. Soooo close, but I have a drive to drive, and I don't want to have an accident on the way back. I don't know where the actual banos are in Los Banyos, and they're probably closed by the time I'm passing through. Now mind you, this is about as heavy as rice noodle soup will get. Take your time once you've found the chicharron. Share it if you can. Don't rush like me or you'll be burping garlic like I did rushing back to SF. If you are on a drive between SoCal and SF Bay or Sac, may I suggest taking the 99 instead of the 5? Instead of hours of just brown yellow and gas stations, you can stop at cities with proper markets. Instead of grab and go fast food or selling your kidney at Harris, why not enjoy some proper, affordable, sit-down chow in Fresno? Maybe this will open your eye to new foods as well! *(Yes. Yes. Terrible espanyol, if you can even call that Spanish, don't come at me with chanclas, pour favour!)

    There are several reasons why I am continuously enticed to keep coming back to this food truck when…read moreI am in the area every Sunday. Chief among them is their menu, which are all authentic and hard-to-find dishes you will not get at any local Thai restaurant. The Pad Thai and Pad Kra Pow (grounded meat with Thai basil) are easily the most popular dishes, but I have also had the chance to try other dishes like Khao Kha Mu (braised pork) and Khao Man Gai (boiled chicken with ginger garlic rice). The Khao Man Gai is essentially a Thai interpretation of the Chinese dish, Hainan Chicken Rice. None of the dishes have truly impressed me so far but I appreciate they have not been very oily and overly seasoned. The dishes are a healthier, cleaner-tasting version of some of the dishes you can expect at most local dine-in restaurants. I have also not tried any of the fried and skewed meat dishes here that are usually my "cup of tea" and have deeper flavor profiles. The plates are priced appropriately for a food truck, where you will get just enough for a quick and satisfying meal. Very friendly service. You will always be greeted with a warm smile and they will make helpful suggestions on what to try if you are being indecisive. The plates come within 5 to 8 minutes while made-to-order. On rainy or windy days, they will bring your order to your car as soon as it is prepared. You will find them at the corner of E. Shepard Avenue and N. Willow Avenue on Thursdays to Sundays, 11 AM to 7 PM come rain or shine.

I recommend following them on instagram because you can find their schedule and location. Service is incredibly friendly and whoever's manning the truck is always smiling. They also have a pretty nice setup going on with small chairs and tables for quick dining, which is much appreciated. I've had their pad thai and pad kra pow and they both are insanely flavorful and put respects on their roots. However, I want to talk about the dish that I've had once and its a MUST have everytime I visit. The dish I think about and crave almost every day. Moo Sam Chan Tod (999999/5): This deep fried pork belly dish checks all the boxes for me. Pork belly is one of my favorite things to go for from most Southeast Asian cuisines, and man this ones so crazy. The pork has the perfect crisp on the skin, but the meat itself is so juicy and packed with flavorful. Not a single piece was cooked even slightly off. You HAVE to get sticky rice over the steamed rice. I don't make the rules. It has a natural acidity and comes with their signature spicy sauce. Recipe for perfection. I be blacking out and suddenly im dipping the pork in the spicy sauce, the rice in the spicy sauce, straight up DRINKING the spicy sauce. I really am dedicating this review to this dish. I do not care. On a real note, try everything on the menu at least once. They put their heart into every dish and I cannot applaud them enough.
