Last month, I bought 2 orders of the crispy pork belly. I picked them up and was super excited to share them with my friend since we often go there to eat the pork belly. When I opened them 10 minutes later, they were old and dry. I couldn't go back because we were doing a picnic lunch with her son at school. When I called LA Kitchen to let them know I didn't appreciate the old pork belly they gave me, she claimed that they only sell fresh pork belly. Didn't apologize or anything, just tried to brush me off and said they don't serve old pork belly. I've had their pork belly enough to know it does not look like that when fresh. Paid $36 for 2 orders of this old dried pork belly. Super disappointed and will never go back. read more

Came here on a Saturday evening with the family. Order and pay at the front, choose a table. Sticky rice was perfectly cooked. Chicken has good flavor. First time trying Salmon Laab. Was not disappointed. Good portion Pork belly was perfectly cooked. Crispy skin. Not dry. Sauce was good also. Papaya was pretty good. Not the best I've had but still good. Overall, really good restaurant. All the dishes we tried are above average. Good portions to price. read more

My second time coming in a week. Price is at a good price point for quality and service! (-) *Some things they could improve is the amount of herbs/condiments supplied with is low (no fish sauce/soy sauce) supplied for take out or dine in *The 2nd time we came, the bean sprouts were wilted & going bad *Self service table dine in, about 4-5 tables *Dine in, everything to-go style containers (+) *Food came out fast (less then 10 min wait time) dine in *Good price point for quality and service *Good location & parking space Food: -Pho was a good portion size! More of homestyle pho style -Papaya was also great! -Pork belly was fairly crispy, sauce is very refreshing! I thought it was going to be the jeow for fried chicken but it's a different sauce. More like the sauce they use for steam rolls but taste more gingering/limey. Very nice kick! -Would stay away from their pork larb. Didn't mention on the menu nor did I see upon walking in but the larb was pre-made and stored in the fridge. Dry, cold and no flavor. Giving it a 4/5 considering they just opened and the price points are pretty fair. Just know ahead it's more of a quick take out or stop then a dine-in style experience. This location is pretty close to home so would def be a repeat customer to stop by for a quick fix or pick up for dinner! read more

Great food. It's hard to find good places and this was one of the good ones. Will be back definitely.

We came here for lunch yesterday and it was hit or miss. The owners are the nicest people ever!! I would give them 3 1-2 stars if Yelp allowed me to. We ordered the fried chicken with sticky rice, mango sticky rice, larb, and chow mein with orange chicken. The fried chicken and mango sticky rice were very good. The chicken had very good flavor. The larb was solid and the lettuce was fresh. The chow mein and orange chicken was not great. The chow mein was soggy and was not my favorite. The orange chicken sauce was to goopy and not enough orange flavor. I will be back to try their soups I think that is what their best dishes are because everyone around us was ordering that. read more

First time we dine in was good with generous portion of pork belly and it was juicy. This time around I wasn't too impressed with the portion plus it was a tad dry. The beef larb is ground beef incase you're not into ground beef larb. If I had known it was ground beef I would've skipped that dish, taste was okay. Khapoon was good could be better, papaya salad was on point in terms of flavor. If you want restaurant quality find another restaurant in town to dine in, if you want Lao street food this would be the place to be! read more

Man, I don't know where to start with how incredible the food at LA Kitchen are. To start as an appetizer I had ordered the medium heat papaya salad and the steamed scrambled egg in the shell. The papaya salad, in my opinion was very refreshing and delectable. The flavor wasn't overpowering and the amount of heat was just right. Next, the Thai Boat bowl is packed with so much content and flavor that just by looking and smell the bowl already made me full. The broth is deep in flavor and it goes really well with the fried pork belly. I was surprised just how much food you get in the bowl. You won't be disappointed with how much food you get in the Thai boat bowl. The spicy raw beef laab was good. The beef is fresh and is seasoned with all of the right seasoning making it delicious with the sticky rice. The portion was pretty generous and the slices of the beef were prepared just right so you can pinch just enough of it with a small handful of sticky rice. Overall, I am exceptionally pleased with the quick service and preparation of the food. I loved every dish as every dish were super tasty! I plan on come back again the next time I am in town. This is probably my favorite Hmong restaurant in town to date. read more

I ordered the combo Orange Chicken with Chowmein noodles and a side of egg rolls (5 per order) $22.73 The good: I particularly enjoyed the egg rolls. They seemed fresh and served scorching hot. The bad: noodles were overcooked, mushy texture and VERY salty. The Orange chicken was also very salty. The sauce for the egg rolls was a bright red watery sugar mix that turned everything red that it touched. I know this Biden/Newsome economy is bad but at almost $23 dollars for what I got and will probably throw it in the bin to avoid getting sick. I should've just walked out after I saw the prices. I'm not sure how it has so many positive reviews. Maybe I just ordered the wrong items SMH. Probably won't return. read more

But it wasn't spicy for me. 10/10 Papaya was okay and very sweet. 6/10 The sauces for the pork and chicken were bomb. 10/10 Customer service 10:10 I would come back whenever I'm in town. read more

LA Kitchen has one of the most comfy and heartwarming Asian food in Fresno. You can't go wrong with the chicken and sticky rice or the pork belly and sticky rice. It may seem expensive but you get a lot of food for what you pay for. The pho is also pretty good, it is more like Lao style and not like a typical Vietnamese restaurant but it is still very good. The workers are always very nice when I have went. If you are dining inside the wait is not too long, and food always tastes better fresh. :) read more

Finally got to try this yummy restaurant. We got their pork belly with sticky rice, the jerky with sticky rice, and one of the garlic cheese breads to try. The pork belly was delicious - there was a good amount of meat on them, so they weren't just fat. The beef jerky was also delicious; this was a first try for me but it was literally like beef jerky. Flavorful and chewy. The sticky rice was good but I've had others that I liked better. It seemed a little under to me but might just be how they make it. The garlic cheese bread was good but the cream cheese was a bit too sweet for me. I had read previous reviews that mentioned the sweetness, but I didn't expect it to be that sweet. The bread itself was really good though! read more

Ordered take out and for the tofu curry, I got a bowl full of greasy oil before I got to the actual curry and tofu. I understand a layer of oil, but almost half the takeout cup is ridiculous. That said, once I got to the curry, it was decent, and the other dishes we had like the kua mee and larb salmon were good. Give me less grease next time! read more

I've only ordered for pickup so can't comment on dine in experience. I order through the clover app and I love their khaopoon with crispy pork belly on the side. They are not stingy with the pork so I end up with two dishes if I get an order of sticky rice on the side. Their khaopoon broth is delicious but wished they added bamboo in. I've also had their beef and chicken pho but prefer their khaopoon. I've also ordered their heavenly beef jerky but it was a bit too sweet for my taste. I also love their sweet mango sticky rice too. read more

The food here has always been amazing but I was extremely shocked by the service today. Amy took my order at the counter and immediately after I paid for my food and sugar cane, she turned around to this heated food cabinet to grab a premade togo box of what I ordered. When she turned back around, I explained that I was dining in and it wasn't for to-go. I didn't say it in a rude way at all but she slammed down the bag and gave me a dirty look and said "Why didn't you tell me that at the beginning?" and proceeded to tell me to "Just go find an empty table and sit down". Maybe she was having a bad day but she did not need to be so condescending and rude. I sat down and waited less than five minutes for my food so I really don't understand why she had to be so mean if it didn't take much time at all for the kitchen to make it for dine in. I don't ever write reviews but this interaction was just so extremely rude and left a bad impression of the restaurant on me. She also never made my sugar cane, and I had to ask another staff for it. read more

The chicken was actually really good, and the sticky rice portion was the right amount, unlike other local spots. The egg rolls were mediocre. It was mainly vegetable with very little pork in it. So more of a vegetable egg roll. The reason why I gave it a 3-star only was because of the crispy pork belly. It was so overcooked,dry, and bland that when I took a bite, I didn't even want to eat it anymore. I'm not sure why I even took it home when it was going straight to the trash. I was so disappointed because my wife and I hadn't eaten the entire day, and I was looking so much forward to it because of the awesome reviews of the restaurant. The pork was probably one of the most expensive items on the menu as well. It wasn't even busy when we got there, and I'm just not sure how they were able to mess that up? Would I still go there? Yes, for the chicken and nothing else. Other than the food. The workers had good customer service, and the restaurant was clean, but a lot of inventory on the wall, which can be very distracting. read more

Friendly cashier and customer service! I didn't want bean sprouts in my kua mee noodles that I didn't get a picture of and they were kind enough to be able to accommodate without it. The pork belly can be a hit or miss with some days it being cooked perfectly or some days dry but today it was cooked perfectly and still juicy. read more

Food has been pretty good and tasty. I have a couple of complaints. 1. Online pick up section: I scheduled my order through clover and had my husband pick it up. Order was correct but the customer service sucked! The lady at the counter completely ignored him and served 3-4 customers that came in after him. 2. Past orders I've placed would be missing components, I.e. Thai boat was missing the crispy pork belly so I had to turn around and get it. The 3 stars is only for the food flavor and generous amount ... that's how good it is. But service needs to be better. read more

Stopped by here for the first time as it's on the way home from work, order the fried chicken and sticky rice, the chicken is very flavorful I did like that but not fresh at all and the sticky rice was definitely hard to eat as it was to sticky and dry also not fresh either, could not even eat it. You can tell food is precooked and been sitting awhile. read more

Food was amazing here. Give it a 10 out of 10. I ordered the chicken and pork belly fired rice and it was fire.

My mother ordered shrimp spring rolls and chicken pho. The worker was nice and said it would be ready shortly. We went to get it. The restaurant is safe and clean. The order was ready and the worker was nice. Wished my mother well. Got everything set up. Chicken pho split. The shrimp spring roll was fantastic! Large! Great peanut sauce with it! My chicken pho half was fresh and delicious! Fresh veggies, tasty noodles and chicken cooked perfectly! My mother said hers was really great! One of the best spring rolls she has tasted! Nice and fresh! Great service and lunch! Highly recommended! read more

Most of the Food is ok. Do not get the curry. It's $17 for a small cereal bowl. And it's not even all that. Steam fish is also over priced.

This place is getting worst this is my 3rd update review seems like every time I come the service gets worst. I was first in line and there were 2 customers that was behind me waiting to order. So after I ordered my 2 simple items which was just "Sticky rice & #36" mind you these other two customers ordered a whole lot of stuff but their received their food way before me. So the 2nd customers just received her food and about to exit out the door so I went up there and asked "what's taking so long for my two item?" Cause the sticky rice is already pre-made ahead of time then to fried the beef jerky would've taken about 2-4mins. The kid said "let me check?" 5-10 minutes later I finally received my food. This could've been handle in a different way. Never again!!! Poor customer service. FYI- There #36 use to be really good until they got super lazy and stopped dehydrating their beef jerky. Trust me you can taste the huge difference! Check out the before and after pictures of #36 before pictures when they use to dehydrate their beef jerky (#36) and after picture that's what it looks like when the beef jerky is NOT dehydrated and just fried! They can't fool me LA Kitchen!!! read more

The beef pho was soooo SORRY. Pictured is the amount of beef they gave me and 3 meatballs. I could not chew through the meat. We Also ordered fried pork, it was so DRY. Since I had no meat in my pho I added the DRY pork to it. NOT WORTH $15 and I get it, it's not a pho restaurant, therefore econsider the price for pho. read more
