The pork belly plate is decent. The pork belly isn't that crispy. The sand which bread was burnt. The pho is pretty good though on the oily side for me. The wait time is extremely long. Expect at least an hour wait. Though the food is decent the wait and service isn't worth it.

Was really craving Lao food but needed it delivered. I saw this spot and all the good reviews and had to give it a try. Unfortunately it was really disappointing. We ordered quite a few things as the group but I specifically got the papaya combo with the pork belly. The papaya was pretty good, but the pork belly was so bad. Not crispy, chewy skin, straight up pork fat only. Another person in the group got the same thing and agreed. They also tried the nam tok medium rare. It came well done and sliced thick. Super chewy and dry. Another group member got the sausage and it came burnt. Overall, not sure we'd ever order here again which sucks. Maybe they were having an off day.

First time ordering from this place, our normal spot is closed on Monday’s so I just took a shot and I’m glad I did. My family loved it! Even more so than our usual spot.The combo fried rice, DELICIOUS!!!Mongolian beef, DELICIOUS!!!Beef Pho, DELICIOUS!!!Ordered off Uber eats therefore I’m unsure of the atmosphere and service but if it’s anything like the food then you can’t go wrong with this place❤️❤️❤️The portions match the prices ??

Don't let looks deceive you, this restaurant is a hidden gem. Tucked in between a liquor store and thrift shop, this restaurant serves fresh and delicious authentic southeast Asian cuisine. The waitstaff is friendly & attentive. I believe this is a family owned business where children laugh while doing their schoolwork on nearby tables. I will definitely return to get my Pad Kee Mao fix.

Wow. This is a hidden gem for southeast asian food within Fresno. I enjoyed the Laos papaya salad even though it was too spicy for me and the chicken pad kee mao. I will be sure to come back again.

They use entirely too much fish sauce in their cucumber salad. Papaya salad was okay but, I ordered a mild & got extra spicy. On a scale 1 through 10 (1 being the worst) I give them a three. Rice looked fluffy and wasn't. Meat was tough. Man I am very unsatisfied!!!...

I ordered on door dash! I order khao piek!!! OMG it's so good. I order the noodles on the side because I didn't want the noodles to soak up all of the broth. I'm glad I did. I tried the broth with out the chicken and noodles. The broth was TASTY!!!!! I would definitely recommend!!!!!!! I also order beef broth by its self. It was kind of salty but I'm pretty sure if you get the broth with meat and noodles it'll definitely balance out!!!! 10/10!!!!!

Y'all- This is THE spot for Lao/Thai soul/homey food goodness. I have not had a dish that disappointed yet. Still working through the menu, but the Thai boat and curry hit the spot. Of course, we could not not order the pork belly. I can never say enough great things about this spot. Please continue to support this local restaurant.

long wait time for food. The pork belly was dried. The khao piak noodle had a piece of metal within the noodle. We will not be returning to this restaurant

Service was ok. It was the portion and quality that wasn’t very satisfying. The first time I ordered from here was in person and I ordered the beef larb, the portion was way smaller compare to other places I’ve ordered from. They stack up the leaf lettuce on the bottom and add a little portion of the larb on top only to make it look full. Waited a little over 30 minutes and I was the only customer. Second time I ordered from here was through doordash. I ordered the Thai boat and it was a disappointment I couldn’t even finish it. The ordered only came with a few small pieces of pork belly and two pieces of the steak, no tendon, meatball, or briskets. The broth wasn’t that satisfying to and was too salty. The noodles were bunched in a cube and were broken into tiny pieces it made it hard for me to grab with my fork. Most likely won’t eat here from now on.

Randomly ordered pho and Vietnamese sandwiches from here because it was the only place that had a combo for small pho and half a Vietnamese sandwich and small drink. My mom said this has been the only place where the pho tastes like the pho she had back is Laos. That's awesome! I ordered again for dinner the next night. Everything we ordered has been good. (pho and Vietnamese sandwiches only so far) My only issue is at night it's pretty sketchy because there's homeless people hanging around outside at night
