The sugarcan juice so fresh
love their thai boat and nava. laab, pork belly, and mov nplaum are really good too!
The best Thai Boat in Fresno, CA hands down! I drive all the way from Madera every other week just to enjoy this bowl at this location. They are very generous with the portions. Lots of meat in it too. This is a Medium bowl and it was more than enough food in it (it is serve exactly like this, with the peppers on top w/a side of veggies 🤤). The pho kao (steam rolls) was also very delicious! They don’t take debit/credit cards yet so it is cash, Venmo or PayPal. I’ve paid...read full review

Mr. Papaya Kitchen is a small, cash-only restaurant known for its authentic Southeast Asian cuisine. The food is consistently good quality, with favorites like the Thai boat noodle and ginger chicken. The peppery sauce adds a kick to the dishes, although the spiciness level cannot be adjusted. While the atmosphere may not be the most comfortable, the food speaks for itself. This restaurant is a go-to spot for those craving genuine Southeast Asian flavors in a no-frills setting. Customers praise the large portions, fast service, and delicious food, especially the raw beef larb. The restaurant remains a highly recommended dining destination, despite occasional order mix-ups for takeout.
The raw larb has been consistently delicious, and the Kapoon has its own unique taste. The cooked beef larb is also good, although not as good as the raw version. The pork belly is always a hit, but customers wish the person who cuts it would make the slices more even. The chowmein is average, but the coconut and honeydew boba are great. Customers are excited to try the Thai boat noodle, which is now under new ownership and is said to be Fresno's best.
