Dumpling and scallops from deep fried menu
Belen M.

I've been wanting to try Tsukiji since they opened. I heard great reviews from friends and family, and finally I got the chance to try! The wait was about 40 minutes, however, you are able to "check in" online, we looked them up on google and it asks if you want check in, this puts your name on the list and then you get text messages about your spot! You can also check the link that is sent with the first text message to see where your spot is. Beautiful cherry blossom decorations All around and a unique ceiling embellishments. Made it a unique look. Service was awesome, and food came out fast, especially considering the place was pretty full. Our server was Clayton and he did a great job explaining how the restaurant works and answered our questions about the food items. He was also just attentive enough, that we didn't feel like we were waiting too long to ask for something else and also didn't feel like he was hovering. We came on a Saturday afternoon at a weird time. We were seated around 1:50pm. We knew they closed for lunch from 3pm-4:30pm, but we figured that they wouldn't "kick us out", however we were wrong. Haha. They do close to folks at 3pm. So Last call for dishes is around 2:30pm, and while we made our way out around 3pm, I don't know if they actually kicked anyone out. But beware that if you want your full 2 hour time limit here, don't go after 1pm. Now for the food- we tried so many things! My absolute favorite though was the Beef short Ribs. The sauce is so delicious!! Like a sweet sesame sauce. We had a few different rolls- Rainbow Roll, Dragon Roll, and a couple others. Dragon roll does have a sriracha kick to it. vegetable tempura, comes with pieces of broccoli, mushroom, bell pepper, sweet potato and taro. Taro was super bland. Next time i'd just order a broccoli or sweet potato tempura and skip the mixture. Shrimp tempura had lovely flavorful coating. Beef udon was delicious and I loved the flavor and noodles. I think I'd like to try the soup next time. One of the things we tried last second that was not what I expected was the fried scallops. They tasted fine, I just wasn't impressed by them and their little dollop of mayo. Overall, we enjoyed the concept of trying new dishes, next time I'll probably try some more hibachi meats, and some nigiri and maki rolls as opposed to the sushi rolls. Oh and get the ice cream to go!! Oh and keep in mind they will charge you for excess food waste, though we didn't ask what exactly that meant. Our meal was right around $90 for two, a soda and tax. Honestly, we felt that was reasonable.

The sushi rolls was nasty and hella big

Came here hungry. Left so full! I like that this place is a AYCE sushi spot and the fact u can be seated and not even have to get up cus they will serve you is great. The decor was nice with the ceiling having the fake cherry blossoms. Coming in, the wait time wasn't too bad. We got seated at a booth. The service was excellent. Our server did good with taking our orders. It was my first time there. Literally while he was taking the orders, some of the food was already coming out. That's cus the tablet they use, it already sends them a notice in the kitchen once he taps on his tablet. So service was fast and quick. It was pretty busy in there for a Tuesday night. We ordered a couple of things. Most of the food we ordered comes in a single order, not pairs. Like the sashimi, nigiri or hand rolls.. we stayed away from what would make us full and tried to eat our moneys worth since it was like $35 a person for dinner.. don't quote me on that but I think that was the price. I didn't do any rice bowls or udon or ramen bowls. You'll see in the pics what we ordered. I thought the food was okay. Some stuff we ordered I did not like. And the spider roll was deceiving cus it said it came with crab meat and "soft crab" so one would think soft shell crab cus what's soft crab if it already came with crab meat which we knew to be imitation.. it only came with imitation so we told them the problem and they said they wouldn't charge us the fee for not finishing the food.. the sushi rolls are way too big with hella rice and don't taste good. The scallops are fake like imitation scallops.. the shrimp tempura was good but first bite was nothing but the breading.. the sashimi was good. We had tuna, escolar, salmon and yellow tail. The unagi was decent.. miso soup came out luke warm.. big disappointment. Also wish they had more sauce options. They only have siracha, eel sauce, teriyaki, spicy mayo and tempura sauce. Oh and sweet n spicy sauce for the cream cheese wonton things which I did not try. They do have soy sauce, ginger and wasabi as well. The hibachi steak was probably one of my favorite bites there and also the short ribs. The mayo fire torched nigiri was gross. It had no taste and the torch taste on there tasted like it was torched with a Bic lighter. At the end when he asked if we wanted ice cream, we all opted for strawberry. Opened one to try and that mf was soft serve like literally soft fuckin serve as in it was already melting and not frozen! We asked for him to take the other two back cus we didn't even finish the one we opened. I don't think I will be returning but if I ever, ever do it'll just be for the hibachi steak, short ribs and sashimi..

Rainbow roll and dragon roll

Make a reservation otherwise you will be waiting for at least an hour to get seated! I tried twice to walk in. Didn't know what to expect because it's an "all-you-can-eat" restaurant. Once in, the server guided us through the menu and explained the "turns". 1st round you order and order comes. 2nd round you order more and then a 3rd round. By the third you are full and order much less. Ice cream is served in those cute plastic cups with a wooden spoon. Raspberry, vanilla, strawberry and chocolate flavors and very refreshing after all that food. Sashimi, sushi and rolls are limited to 5 per person, per round because they don't want any food wasted. It's definitely worth it. I didn't pay so I don't know how much it cost, but I believe someone previously posted it was $35 per person. That's a great price since you tend to pay over $100 for two anywhere else. I ordered sashimi, nigiri, a roll and teriyaki salmon. The rest of the family had fried rice, asparagus, shrimp and clam tempura along with their rolls and sushi. Everything was delicious and our server was attentive, experienced and explained every section of the menu. For reference, we were a party of 11 on a Sunday for lunch. Reservations at 11 am. It got packed so fast. By 12 there were no open tables. Loved this place and plan to go back often. This was the old California Pizza Kitchen next to Lazy Dog.

Salmon nigiri

Tsukiji is one of few spots in Fresno where you can get AYCE sushi. They have an extensive menu with plenty of options for nigiri, maki rolls, fried noodles, soup, hibachi meats, fried rice, and other fried foods. Personally, I think you get the most bang for your buck ordering the nigiri and maki rolls. You can order up to 5 nigiri per person per round, so we definitely stock up on that. I also enjoy their rainbow roll. Obviously the complexity of the rolls is not the same as you would get at a made-to-order sushi spot, but still solid. I went here when they first opened up and the service was not great. We were not attended to often, and some of our orders would be forgotten. However, I've gone back about 3 times now, and they must have done something to change that. The waitstaff is nice and attentive, and everything comes out relatively quickly. The shop itself has lots of Japanese-inspired decor, which adds to the vibe. I'd definitely recommend coming during lunch--I'm not sure how busy their dinner hour is.

I have gone here two times for the weekend (it's Dinner menu) with my parents and enjoyed it. My parents come during weekdays for lunch and rave about it all the time. The fish is great, especially the sashimi, as I really hate sushi rice at most AYCE due to inconsistent flavors (IYKYK). The menu has a huge selection from teppanyaki to tempura. You pretty much have a Japanese buffet delivered to your table. Service is 100! Friendly staff that ensures your table is cleared off from empty plates and ready to start the order process.

Sinny S.

Tsukiji offers excellent all-you-can-eat Japanese food. The four stars are for the fantastic value and the quality of their main dishes--the sushi, rolls, and hibachi steak are consistently delicious and fresh. I deduct one star because the wait times can be significant, and some appetizers are clearly just filler. Parking can be a problem at times.

My top choice for all-you-can-eat (AYCE) sushi in Fresno. This city has limited AYCE choices, but I think Tsukiji is on the right track. I have dined here multiple times, and it has mainly been consistent. From the service, drinks, and food we have always been content. The menu features a mix of appetizers, maki, sashimi, nigiri, and much more. They have several various items and options to choose from, especially if you are not a fan of sushi. What sets this restaurant apart from others is the availability of sashimi! Having that choice by itself is fantastic for sushi enthusiasts. Please remember that sashimi is available only during dinner, not at lunchtime. I've sampled the hibachi and appetizers, and they all taste quite nice. Tsukiji tends to be quite crowded at dinner, so anticipate longer wait times, particularly on weekends. Surely worth attempting. Remember, that this is good for Fresno and cannot be compared to other AYCE restaurants in California.

Ca roll . Tuna hand roll. #9 roll
Mrs Z.

Wow. Just wow! Waiting for the newness to settle, but that was a bad call- don't wait if you haven't tried them. Okay let's get some newbie disclaimers out of the way: (since I made the mistakes for you, lol) 1. Join the waitlist- be ready for 2+ hr wait. - not a big deal, but don't walk in thinking 20-25 min. Give yourself time. Our wait was 2hr20min and we were 63 rd in line. We did the online waitlist and some shopping until we were 10 th in line. - catching some shade for this but this is not a big party place. Go to teppan for that. Think 4 ppl party, this will ensure you fit at a table and don't get bumped trying to clear 4-5 tables for your party. Just don't do it imo. - also, the shade is here: as a mom ( I'd totally only take kiddos 9 and above who can eat their weight or fully appreciate the raw fish side. This will make end of table space easier from high chairs etc. Nice night out, get a sitter. 2. Walk the shopping center while you wait. So many neat stores- surprised at how many folks huddled outside in the cold (albeit lazy dog had great music on you could hear) - B&N is right there in the least. 3. Go hungry. Saying less here. 4. Service batting 1000%. Couldn't have been better. In fact- let's train everywhere else the hospitality and ethic of these folks ( front hostesses were nice but their dealing with the goons of walkins didn't quite match what the servers dedicate to you). 5. PEPSI PRODUCTS. They're a . 6. Recommendations: *escolar, octopus, clam, tuna ( fired and every way they have it) * hand rolls- tried a few they were all fantastic * hibachi and teriyaki: shrimp, steak, beef, short ribs, chicken! * cheese won tons but caution the cream cheese is temp hot inside! 7. Bathrooms are busy and (both were wet floored) they try to upkeep but humans need to do better too. 8. Yes you get a cup of dairy full ice cream. Nice touch! Can't wait to try lunch. They have two services lunch and dinner, we went for dinner. Ate so quick as things arrived forgot to take more food pictures!

Our party of 9 had a dinner reservation, and they were seated fairly promptly. (I was late.) Nika, our server, was spectacular. And the food, of course, was never ending deliciousness. First time visitors for 5 in our party, and they were surprised and delighted with service, menu, portions, and everything they ate and devoured. Definitely have plans to return soon.

Updating my rating to a 4 star. If you're craving sushi and on a budget, this is the place to go! Their service is still exceptional for being an AYCE sushi place. Their cooked to order foods like the hibachi, fried rice and fried udon noodles is delicious and still my preferred food choice when I come. If you're craving a high quality AYCE place with service, this is the place to go!

snow roll and crazy roll
Alex avila _.

My girlfriend and I love this place, service is always great the setting is nice and calm, we really love the hibachi, cheese wontons, and crazy roll I do recommend showing up early because the line gets insanely long but it's so worth it you'll leave happy and it won't hurt your pockets!

Cream cheese Rangoon is too doughy
Lulu C.

I finally got to try Tsukiji!! To think that we were about to go to Red Robin! There is so much to choose from in this shopping center, which is across from River park. You MUST pick Tsukiji at least once and I'm sure you'll keep coming back. We came in early before dinner started. It was kind of awkward at first because no one said anything to us but we just sat in the waiting area until dinner began. Which is at 5 or 6 I think. The staff blasted the coolers and dinner was set to begin. We were seated and met our waitress right away. We had never been there but without skipping a beat she explained everything to us. The way it works is you have access to the entire manure for a flat price. They bring you out small portions of all you ask for. This gives you the ability to try everything. We really loved it and were so impressed by how the staff worked together to make our meal magical. Food was fresh and got to the table fast! I do have to say, I am a big fan of cream cheese Rangoons and the ones here are way too bready or doughy. That's my only gripe. Everything else was so delicious! I can't wait to go back!

Food ordered: Fire Chicken Combination Plate…read more Beef Yaki Udon Pickled Radish The fire chicken plate is always delicious. My siblings crave it at least once a month! I love the Yaki Udon and usually get it spicy. All their food is always made fresh to order and with lots of love. Service: The service is great! We are always immediately seated and offered drinks within the first few minutes upon entering. Throughout the meal, we weren't checked on. I wish they would put water pitchers on the table for the customers so we wouldn't have to always ask for a water refill. Unfortunately, there have been times where my family and I have gone but it's so busy and we never got refills for waters. Ambiance: Great, cozy, warm atmosphere. They have large flat screen tvs that usually play compilation videos on them. I wish they synced the tvs up to play kdramas or kpop on them instead. Every time I've gone, the tvs are usually turned off or playing funny/meme compilations from YouTube. I think many of their customers would enjoy a Korean show while eating Korean food! Maybe even play some mukbangs, as many young people nowadays enjoy watching those! My family and I are regulars, and we will always be back to support our favorite local Korean restaurant!

Everything came out so hot and I had to stop myself from burning my tastebuds by digging in immediately! The staff were very kind and helpful when I had questions about the menu. Our waitress was super attentive. Inside was nice and warm which was a great contrast to the cold, foggy weather outside. This place is definitely on my list of places to revisit next time I visit Fresno!

Great tasting ramen!…read more My family and I made this place a pit-stop for dinner on a Sacramento to Los Angeles trip. Our original target was the Fresno location, but due to a GPS entry error, we ended up at their Clovis location! It was a little longer drive than usual, but still well-worth the drive. And besides, we were on a family long weekend break so who cares about distance... Our orders were quickly taken on the counter and we were off to find our table. A lot of places to choose from inside and outside seating was also available. And the place was nicely decorated and well-lit! Feels comfortable to dine inside! The menu was quite expansive. And you even have the choice of minor changes to the regular menu. I ordered an Oxtail Ramen...a first of this kind for me, so I just had to have it. And it passed with flying colors! Weird ingredient...but absolutely tasty! And at a really affordable price range! You just have to try our this place when you're in the area! You will love it!

I came back to Ramen Hayashi for a second try after my first visit left me a bit underwhelmed, and…read moreI'll say right away, this visit was a noticeable improvement. The first time I tried the tonkotsu ramen as takeout and gave it 2 stars. The noodles were soggy from the start and the broth just didn't hit the depth of flavor I was expecting. It felt like something was missing. This time, I dined in and ordered both the spicy miso ramen and tonkotsu ramen, plus a side of chicken karaage. Eating onsite made a difference right away, the noodles held up and the overall taste of the ramen was significantly better. The spicy miso ramen was good, but I was honestly hoping for a stronger miso punch and a bit more heat. It leaned a little milder than expected, though still enjoyable. The tonkotsu this time was better balanced than my first visit. The chicken karaage was good as well. Crispy, light batter, juicy inside really solid fried chicken. I personally would've liked a squeeze of lemon and maybe some Japanese mayo on the side to elevate it even more, but that's just preference. Overall, I feel like this place redeemed itself on a second visit, especially dining in. I'll need to come back to try more of their specialty ramens.

Wanted to give this place a shot because it's close to my new work place and really enjoy it!…read more It's attached to the Tea Shop, which you have to walk through first to get to the restaurant. You'll then have to wait to be seated at the register. I think this set-up is kind of awkward but hey, at least they have cute sidewalk seating. There are plenty of tables and long benches to sit at and the restaurant itself feels clean and well-lit! The staff are super helpful also. Tried the House Special Beef Pho and it was pretty tasty! You do have the option to order your dish with regular thin noodles, flat noodles, or egg noodles. The broth is basil-y and the flavor has great depth. They have a self-serve station for condiments where you can grab some chili oil, jalapeños, bean sprouts, and lime. My favorite thing about this restaurant is that I don't feel too bloated after eating here (compared to other pho restaurants). Been enjoying this restaurant and eating here at least once a week!

It's been a minute since I've been back here... I heard they remodeled? But idk what changed lmao I…read moreguess it's been that long since my last visit (it hasn't been a full year yet, fyi). My memory is shot. I don't want to be handing out 5 stars so easily but I think they deserve it. The restaurant is very clean, and I love the little Asian lanterns they have, all different, above each table. Plenty of seating. When we got there (a little after 5), there was only one other table occupied... by the time we left (6:30), every table was nearly taken. Our waitress, as well as the other on the floor, were both very welcoming and friendly. They handled the service remarkably as a team. The fact that they were a packed house and still were very attentive with us, checking how we're doing, checking on our water refills... these are the little things I appreciate most (and, of course, good food). I got the Pho with the Fatty Brisket, my friend got just the Steak Pho. They have a bar against the wall with all garnishes you may need to grab what you'd like. This is pretty smart... It saves them from waste. Instead of giving people items they may not use-- they would just grab what they'd like themselves. My friend grabbed her goodies, I prefer mine as is. To me, if your broth is good and doesn't require me to flavor it... I'll eat it just like that (unless I feel like adding spice). I've only ever been to a few other Pho places where I had to season up the broth myself...definite no no for them. All my friends who have gone out to eat Pho with me know I eat it just how I get it. Pho from my Mama is a different story though... I put the works (not because it's not flavorful) but, it's just different. Moving on... They also have a Teazona in their establishment. I've tried a few different drinks in the past but came to regularly deciding on the Tiramisu Milk Tea (no flan for me, light boba). Make sure to shake it well. You can also let them know your preference on the level of sweetness. We both got this tonight and it nearly tipped me over on the full scale. Couldn't finish it. Everything was really good though. Pho was the perfect choice for this weird, gloomy weather we've been having. The price is a bit up there but that seems to be the norm everywhere nowadays. But-- for the portion, the quality, and the service? Worth it.

Tsuchiya Ramen totally gave me Initial D, street car racing vibes w/ its actual, real-life (idk if…read moreit was intentional or not lol) car meet outside in the parking lot, Japanese decor inside and car memorabilia displayed throughout. It was quite an interesting industrial, unfinished aesthetic. Definitely nostalgic and made me miss my fixed up white Acura Integra..ala 2001. Yea..I'm a girl and yea I use to race. ;) Such a good pit stop on our family's Spring Break road trip to Yosemite. It definitely refueled us for the rest of our journey. Known for its customizable ramen bowls with flavorful broths and a wide variety of toppings, as well as, other menu items like rice bowls, bentos, and dumplings, Tsuchiya Ramen definitely lived up to it's almost 5 star Yelp reviews. The waitress was friendly and the food came out fairly quickly once our order was taken ~ less than 10 mins for sure! I ordered the spicy miso ramen ($17.99) with a sweet corn side (+$1.50) and complimentary topping of the fried garlic. The hakata (thin style noodles) were perfectly cooked, with a lil al dente bit to them. It had all the trimmings that I like ~ green onion, chashu, jammy egg, crunchy wood ear mushrooms, naruto fish cake, marinated bamboo, and nori. The broth was authentic, flavored with such depth. You can really taste the slow-cooked, miso quality in it. I loved the fried garlicky taste too! It was the right level of spice, I didn't even need to add any chili oil, like I usually do. My picky daughter opt'd for the "make your own ramen" option (starting at $12.99) ~ getting the same hakata thin noodle with tonkatsu broth, chashu (+$3.25), fried tofu (+$2.50), and freebie toppings of nori, sesame seeds & fried garlic. My son ordered the OG tonkatsu ramen w/ extra marinated bamboo (+$2) on the side. Lastly, the hubs wanted to eat lighter & healthier, so he opt'd for the teriyaki chicken rice bowl. Everyone loved their meal pick. Dare I say..I even think it ranks better than some of the ramen joints in the OC. Who knew Fresno was poppin' in the foodie dept? Lol A total RxFoodie recommend and I'd return if I'm ever in the area again!

We went back to this place and we order the same dumplings for my grandson. He love them…read more This time I order me the sesame ball. I order in line. The food was ready when we got there. The only thing that it concerned me was that the sesame balls were too small. I have had these at another place and they are bigger than these. It kind of disappointed me. Maybe for the price was ok but I wouldn't mind paying a little bit more as long as they were bigger.

I finally tried The Little Fat Dumpling during lunchtime and I'm so happy I did. I had tried going…read morebefore during dinner and there was a 30/45 minute wait. The place is pretty small, so it definitely gets busy at night. Going during lunch was the move. I got seated super fast with no wait. It took a little time to order, but once I did, the food came out pretty quickly. I tried the wonton soup and it was good, the broth had really nice flavor. I also got the beef chow mein and really liked it. The beef pieces were a good size and tasted really good. I also tried the pork soup dumplings and those were really good. They come with a little sauce to put inside, but I didn't really care for it and honestly didn't need it. The dumplings had great flavor on their own. I also tried the house spicy chicken and loved it. It wasn't spicy in my opinion, but I liked that the chicken was a little crunchy. I think it's fried and then tossed in their sauce, which was really good. I got white rice to go with it, best decision. Overall, the food was really good and I'm glad I finally tried this place. If you're around during lunchtime, I definitely recommend it. They'll get you in and out pretty quickly.

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!)

Very accommodating upon our entry. They checked us off on their list, got our food to us very…read morequickly, and had my to go order for my kids waiting in the wings for our eventual exit. Unlike my friend, @Kubo, who said lots of parking. We arrived two hours after her, about 6:20pm, and the parking lot was near topped off, forcing some to have to park in unpaved areas. This was mostly due to the neighboring gym. (Sorry for those who have slammed vehicles without bags.) The crispy pork was delicious and crunchy. The chicken had a sweet to its savory. Very happy with the sauce choices as well. And sticky rice for the win. Two restrooms available. Half the tables were occupied by customers. One table by other Yelpers, who I wanted to take a picture with, but they were mid chomp. Disappeared while I was stuffing my face. Noise level was average, with adorable children throughout, music playing, and lots of order pickups. Will be happy to return!

LA Kitchen really did not disappoint. The pork belly was SO good! crispy, tender, and even better…read moredipped in the jeow som. That sauce was everything: spicy, limey, savory, and packed with umami. I could honestly drink it. The chicken was super juicy and flavorful, and the sticky rice was dangerously addictive. The papaya salad tasted just like how my mom makes it at home it's fresh, spicy, and full of flavor. And girl medium was HOT! Definitely not watered down for people who can't handle spice either, which I appreciated. Every dish tasted homemade and comforting. If you're craving real Lao food, this spot is absolutely worth the hype. Also the Thai tea was indeed *tea* so yummy
