This Japanese fast food restaurant isn't actually that fast, but just like anywhere else, you'll…read morehave to wait. The food is mediocre, but it's the only place that sells sushi in the area. I would still recommend this restaurant to anyone who aren't crazy about their sushi selection. Taste good and quality is still there. What's even nice is that they have a mochi donut shop in the same plaza... so while you're waiting, grab some boba or mochi!! Or a Mexican refreshca inside of Vallarta! Mmm hm . Yum.

This place is no frills but the quality and consistency is good. We didn't think there was a thing such as cheap Japanese food, but this place does so and it's great. My go to when I order for me and a family member is the California roll and the grilled salmon bowl. But we've also ordered the salmon dinner plate and the grilled shrimp bowl. Each time the food is good and priced well. The food can take awhile to make, but it means they make it fresh to order. It usually takes about 20 minutes so if I am in a hurry, I call ahead. Whether you dine in or take out, the food is put in to-go containers.

Unfortunately, I have to give a low rating based off the food alone. One extra star because the…read moreserver was very nice and polite. We came here to try out the AYCE hot pot. We didn't realize that it raised in price and it is now $38 per person for dinner. A bit steep, but we hoped the food would make up for it. Yet, it was very disappointing and kept getting worse. I think we need to keep in mind that this is not a true AYCE hot pot location. They have a generous menu for Laos/Thai food but with an option for hotpot. The meats were very thick, tough, and basic. The broth was decent but nothing extraordinary to the point of yearning for more. We wish they had more options for toppings, but it was pretty limited. We would not go back for the hot pot but for the other foods that they have to offer.

So glad to see new options in Fresno!…read more Being a little spoiled over here in GA we decided to grab a dozen for some family since we were in town. Not sure if it is the same Mochilicious "franchise?" we are used to but the quality is a bit different. Though the doughnuts were beautifully decorated and all the options were enticing the doughnuts were cold and almost giving stale. We are used to a more light fluffy bite so not sure if the standard is different here. Staff were nice enough. As expected, being Fresno. We also got a couple milk teas while we waited.. The drinks were pretty flat. Not sure if it was just how the barista made them, but we were pretty disappointed. Maybe don't get milk tea from here, or try it before you leave. Stick with the doughnuts.

It's such a fun twist from the original pork/chicken/veggie egg rolls. They have elevated egg rolls to another level. However, many stick to the traditional type of rolls and they offer those as well. They often get sold out fast too so hurry and get them before they do! The owners are very good people and stick to their family oriented vibes. My suggestions are: garlic shrimp ramen, bean and cheese, hot cheetos, bacon avocado jalapeno!

Tried this food truck yesterday and it was so yummy! I loved the idea of this truck- very unique!…read more Also, great customer service. They drew a cute little picture on our bag :) I liked it for more of an appetizer place. They sell egg rolls but with all kinds of different fillings. Reasonable price to try different ones. It was 4 for $8 (regular average size egg rolls). We tried the Pizza, Hawaiian with Spam, Tri-tip Mac n Cheese and Non-spicy Cream cheese and Jalepeno stuffed egg roll. Loved them all! My favorite was the Cream Cheese and Jalapeño stuffed egg roll and my bf loved the Hawaiian one.

Mr. Papaya's Kitchen in Fresno is absolutely worth the visit. We came as a large group on a really…read morebusy day, so the wait to get seated was long... almost an hour, but honestly it wasn't a big deal. There are plenty of interesting stores around the area, so the time passed pretty quickly. Once we were seated, everything went uphill. Our server was AMAZING. Even with how busy it was, he was everywhere, serving tables, helping in the back kitchen, running back and forth, and still made sure we always had drinks and checked in on us. Huge shoutout to him because he truly went above and beyond and deserves way more credit. The food was absolutely delicious. Super flavorful, and the papaya dishes were especially good. You can tell everything was made with care. The only downside is that the restaurant felt a bit cramped since it's on the smaller side. Also, it's cash-only, but that wasn't an issue because they do accept Zelle and Venmo. Overall, great food, incredible service, and definitely a place I'd go back to for Thai food. 1/2 Had more than this to eat but didn't get all the photos.

We ordered the purple sticky rice, beef larb, papaya salad, crispy pork belly, pompano, shrimp pineapple fried rice, and pork belly with greens. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. It was very busy and we had a long wait to seat our group of 11. Service was a bit slow and they seemed understaffed, but it was understandable given how packed it was. Our server was kind, patient, and very apologetic about the wait for our food, which we really appreciated. Overall the food more than made up for the wait.

I know it just is a me thing but man it was almost a bad moment. Appetizer was egg rolls that were crispy, hot and came out fast. The dipping sauce it ca.e with was tasty. I would go back again to try other pho. Also the service was attentive and kind. Clean facility aĺ the sauces one could want.

The quality of the broth is slowly declining and I'm going to go somewhere else now because it is not the same as few years back. Please tell your kitchen works to do better. Broth is everything without it I can't enjoy my pho. This reminds me of my Thai Boat incident. Taste exactly like the broth with pork blood in it. If you guys can't even do it correctly you'll be loosing customers. Even my little brother dropped his food and left because it was off. If this doesn't improve I'm gone.

Restaurant ambience was quite nice, and the service was great…read more The tower ramen special was pretty good, but fell more on the average side for us... a 3, perhaps a 3.5 out of 5 for us, but still quite tasty. Just a heads up, the added egg topping was runny yolk style - which was delicious, but I know some folks may not like that style. The garlic steak noodles however were really good, at least a 4/5, would definitely try that again if not get more of that to-go if I'm in the area. The lychee smoothie and slushie has added lychee jelly, and both were delicious. This was roughly an $75 (+tip) meal altogether, which was, if I may be honest, a bit more expensive than what I would rate the place... however, I genuinely wanted to check the place out and I very well likely would return for other appetizers and drinks, probably not so much for the ramen.

The food came neatly packaged with everything in separate containers which I really appreciated. Let me start with the wonton appetizer. WOW! The flavor of those wontons are what dreams are made of. I'll go back just to get more of those for sure. As for the noodles, I chose the beef noodle soup with the wide noodles and it was also reallllllly good! The broth was the best part actually. The beef was tender, but could have been more flavorful. The noodles were chewy and good. My husband got the Q noodle soup and honestly it wasn't much different from the regular beef noodle soup. Overall, a very decently priced meal bursting with incredible flavor. Would definitely recommend.

We visited right after landing in Fresno, so our group was starving. Upon walking in, we noticed…read morethere was no AC. On a temperate day, this wouldn't be an issue, but it was hot and sunny. We were literally sweating as we were eating. The table ordered a variety of noodle soups and also a lo mein style noodle. All of it was decent-- not super rich but also not lacking flavor. I was disappointed at how rough the chunks of beef were, especially since the beef in noodle soup is supposed to be tendonous and fall apart. As for the service, all the employees were very nice. You can tell this is a family owned and operated restaurant. Unfortunately, we did have to remind our waiter for water and utensils. I would come back and take out, or dine in on a cooler day.

Was here for a Yelp Elite event. Ambiance is average & service was good…read more The complimentary chicken, pork belly & sticky rice plus Thai iced tea sampler were all really good. Chicken was flavorful & moist. Pork belly was crispy tho a tad dry. Sticky rice was nice good! Also ordered their spring rolls, noodles & mango w/sticky rice too. Spring rolls were soft & really fresh. My preference is combo shrimp pork together but they keep theirs separate, which is fine, just different style. Peanut sauce is really great! Sometimes it's too thick & peanut buttery or too thin & vinegary at other places. Theirs is perfect! Mango was a tad under ripe. Maybe not quite in season? but again, sticky rice on point. Noodles were plentiful & delicious! Thai iced tea was really nice! Really glad I got to try LA Kitchen. Will definitely be back again

It was super crispy without being hard, easy to bite into, and not overly fatty at all. Every sauce paired perfectly with the sticky rice, pork belly, and fried chicken. The chicken itself was incredibly moist and flavorful. I was secretly hoping for crispier skin, but honestly the flavor made up for it. Before leaving, I ordered the sausage with sticky rice plus both the shrimp and pork spring rolls to-go because I already knew I was going to want more later. The spring rolls were SO fresh and delicious. The shrimp wasn't overcooked, the pork was tender, and that peanut sauce absolutely tied everything together. The sausage was another standout, very flavorful, juicy, easy to chew, and perfect with the sticky rice. My only regret was forgetting to ask for chili oil before I left... thankfully I had some at home because it took everything to the next level. Big shoutout to Lana working the front counter, she was incredibly friendly and generous the entire time. I also got to meet La herself, and she was so warm and easy to talk to. They have a large seating area on the right side of the restaurant and condiments on every table. You can genuinely tell this place puts a lot of heart into the quality and flavors they serve. Definitely looking forward to going back and trying more of the menu.
