It's a go to for me and my wife. Had a pleasant experience there. Staff are courteous and friendly. The meals we ordered were awesome and satisfying. They don't charge extra for using the card and tipping is optional,which we gave for a good service rendered. I highly recommend this place. read more

Outstanding Thai spot! I came in here with my dad last week, and it did not disappoint. There's a lot of items to look through on the menu, but I suggest you head straight to that Pad Thai. I went with the beef and almost got the highest spiciness. However, I was warned by our server about the spice levels there, so he suggested I go with "low-medium" spice. I can usually handle spicy, but this was definitely the perfect amount. Any more than that and I may have struggled a bit. Tread carefully unless you think you can handle some serious heat! The Pad Thai came out piping hot, and I was genuinely on cloud nine after tasting this stuff. The tamarind sauce was exceptional, and a hearty amount of beef was mixed in with the noodles. They serve generous portion sizes, so I was stuffed after the last bite. The staff was also kind and attentive to us throughout the meal. I will be back soon! read more

Ate at this place for the first time and was not disappointed! My party had the crab Rangoon for an appetizer and they were piping hot and crispy with a generous amount of filling and served with a yummy sweet chili sauce. I ordered the pad see ew with shrimp and asked for it spicy. It was sooooo delicious. Flavorful, spicy and a generous amount. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and juicy. I enjoyed every bite. The service was friendly and the employees were very attentive with refills and clearing dishes. The only downfall of the visit was it was VERY warm in the restaurant. My friends and I were fanning ourselves and we even heard other patrons commenting on the temperature in the restaurant. But overall, it was a good visit. I would definitely return. read more

Had lunch with my wife and friends, and we decided to order a variety of dishes to share. We started with the Papaya Salad, which had incredibly fresh vegetables and a tangy, delicious dressing. The Shrimp Spring Rolls were equally fresh and perfectly prepared, with an excellent balance of ingredients. The Tom Yum was a standout, with the perfect balance of sour and sweet flavors and just enough spice to give it a nice punch. We also tried the Shrimp Pad Thai, which had a good balance of salty and sour flavors with a hint of sweetness. The Drunken Noodles were also delicious. I immediately picked up an anise-like flavor in the first bite, which I thought might have come from five-spice seasoning, and it added a really nice dimension to the dish. The Thai Iced Tea with boba is also worth mentioning. The tea was delicious, and they were very generous with the boba, there was a huge amount! Our server, Maddy, was friendly and attentive, and our food came out quickly. The restaurant itself was nicely decorated, well maintained, and exceptionally clean, including the bathroom. Overall, this is definitely a strong contender among the Thai restaurants in the area. I'll happily come back to try more of the menu! read more

I had no expectations and surprised at how good everything was! I was lucky to get to try the lunch specials. That's the best bang for your buck! There's different types of combo meals, a huge variety. I ordered the red curry with pad thai. It comes with an additional soup and salad too! I enjoyed my meal so much that I returned with my fiancé for dinner later that week! We really enjoyed our experience and the food. Thai food is a bit on the sweeter on the palate compared to Lao style thai food that is common in Fresno. Personally, I prefer things less sweet overall and the Thai authenticity is there! Excited for the new and exciting Asian cuisine in the area. read more

A small cute place near First and Nees. Modern decor and good service. My friends and I went to try this place at lunchtime so tried one of their lunch specials. They have several curries and dishes that come with soup, salad, rice and an egg roll with each meal. I opted for a combo lunch special that came with pad thai as well. The soup was very good, and the small salad was tasty. I ordered my red curry medium, although it really didn't have enough flavor for me. The pad thai was on the sour side if you like it that way. I prefer it slightly sweeter. They didn't have panang curry on the lunch menu, which is my usual go-to, and maybe I would have liked that better than the red curry. My friends ordered the drunken noodle dish and chicken satay. They were both decent. I did notice they had reasonable prices for a small soup, which I wouldn't mind trying if I go again. However, the curry I wouldn't try again. read more

My family ate dinner here after driving from LA on our way to Yosemite. We were immensely pleased with both the food and service at this establishment. We ordered the Crying Tiger (beef, medium), Pad See Ew, Yellow Curry (chicken), gyozas, and a side of rice. The portions were generous and all of the food was delicious. My family especially liked the beef and its tenderness as well as the mango salad that came as a side. All the food was very flavorful and my personal favorite was the pad see ew. When we came, there was a busy Friday night dinner rush, but the two servers were very attentive throughout dinner and checked in on us several times. The food also came out fairly quickly given our larger order. We also found the prices to be very reasonable for the portions given. I'm not from the Fresno area, but I would return here again if I was passing through. read more

I just like to pop in and rehype this place up. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. The place is clean and beautiful and has a nice cozy vibe and best of all the food is DELICIOUS!! My favorite currently is the ground basil chicken. We order from work at least twice a month and I come here for my home as well. This is one of my top 3 restaurants in the Central Valley!! read more

Had the Pad See Ew here for dinner while on a work trip, and it was really good. I ordered it medium, and the flavor was excellent. The vibe was nice, and the service was great.

This spot blew away my expectations! Hands down best Thai restaurant in Fresno. We came here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch with a reservation for a group of us for my mom's birthday. We had a toddler with us and they provided a high chair. The staff were so friendly and attentive and gave us their recs. We went with the chili garlic edamame and papaya salad to start with. Both are pretty spicy and pack a decent kick even at mild spice so be prepared. Both were excellent. For the entrees we ordered the Thai fried rice, ground chicken basil stir fried with fried egg, and panang curry with chicken, and chicken pad Thai. White rice included. The ground chicken was a Thai dish I haven't tried before and with the fried egg this thing was delicious and so fragrantly aromatic that I had to have more. The panang curry was a bit on the sweeter side but still wonderfully coconutty and tasty. The fried rice was pretty standard and the pad Thai was also on the sweeter side but still really tasty. Even family style between 6 adults 4 entrees and 2 apps was a good portion of food with some leftovers. Overall - highlight is get the ground chicken basil stir fried egg chef's special. Portions are stellar and prices are solid. Highly recommend and definitely will come back next time I'm in Fresno! Wish I took more photos of the food but I was busy scarfing food down. read more

Delicious and amazing thai food. I love all the flavors and the richness in the spices and the freshness of the ingredients. The food always is amazing and the pad see ew are the best noodles in all of Fresno. Best part is, it is not super expensive so you get great quality food in a very reasonable price. The owners are also nice and always feel welcome here. read more

Food is 5 out of 5. (Yes, for once I'm jumping right in, so just shut it, okay!?!) We picked up the CRYING TIGER for $23.50. As stated on their menu: Juicy marinated beef steak grilled to perfection. Served with a side of sticky rice, spicy dipping sauce and mango salad. Ours was to perfection as they stated, went wonderfully with the sticky rice, and the flavor was taken to another extraordinary place when dipping. Best thing (to me) about the sauce was that it was NOT fishy at all! The mango salad was very good, my only complaint is the high barrier to entry with this price. Beyond that, we were seated immediately, the service was good and consistent, and the guest noise can be moderate to loud. Seating WILL get limited so be prepared for that. They have a clean restroom, a major plus in this kind of strip mall. I give this a 4.6 out of 5. Will revisit to try their other items and provide a more robust review. read more

Stumbled upon this restaurant for lunch after a walk at the park. The order: papaya salad in Thai style which was refreshing! Just what I wanted, something with crunch and acidity. I really recommend this dish here. We also got the Crying Tiger that came with the sliced steak that was tender and not chewy, side of thinly sliced mango that paired so nicely with the dish and added an element of sweetness, and finally a dipping sauce on the side as well. Lastly, we go a stir fry basil beef dish that had a nice aroma of basil in it, lathered in sauce, and I liked the bamboo in the dish as well. Beef was cooked nicely and not tough, my kids loved it. Our waitress was very attentive and checked on us. She was great! The restaurant was low/moderate in noise, clean and tidy, decor is minimal and highlights the culture of Thai style food. Restroom is clean for guest to use. Overall, food was amazing! Will be coming back for sure. read more

Yummy! Everything was delicious. The only dish I probably wouldn't get again was the wonton soup. It was more of a chicken noodle soup but with wontons. Everything else was great! The pad Thai and the pad see ew are some my favorite dishes. The rangoons are always yummy, super crispy and the filling is great! But the best part was definitely the mango sticky rice! read more

Really disappointed that I spent $28 on this meal. I ordered my steak rare to medium rare, but it came out completely well done and overcooked. I wanted to try something different today, but unfortunately it was a letdown. read more

We decided to drop by for lunch around 12pm on a Wednesday. We got seated right away since only one other party was there. The inside was pretty small but very cute. They did well with the space they had. About 20 minutes later the place got packed with guests and take out orders so I'd say arriving right at noon helped beat the traffic. Their menu was full of great options, I had a hard time deciding. We ended up getting the spicy edamame, shrimp spring rolls, pad kra pao, and chicken laab. I really wish they would've gave us a little warning here because this was entirely too much food for my husband and I. Their portions are huge for their entrees, but also helps justify the price a bit because this lunch did cost us about $65-70. Anyway, here is a quick rating on our dishes: Spicy edamame 10/10 - my husband he thought this was delicious but it was not spicy at all. Shrimp spring rolls 9/10 - it was tasty and fresh. Just a bit on the pricy side to me. I believe it's almost $14 for two spring rolls. Pad kra pao 10/10 - my husband also loved this but thought the same thing as his edamame. Great taste but it was not spicy at all even though that's what he specified. Chicken laab 8.5/10 - I really enjoyed this dish because it's SOUR. If you're not a fan of sour this won't be the dish for you. I asked for this medium spice but again it was almost non-existent. If I could change anything, I'd put a lot more toasted rice powder in and keep the lettuce separated from the dish. Their laab is pretty liquidy so lettuce got soggy faster. Overall, we will be back. The service was great and the food had nice flavors. The only thing I'd change here is their spice levels! read more

Tried for the first time this past week and I'm excited to plan my next visit. So. Dang. Good. A girlfriend and I decided to meet up after not seeing each other in a while and we both LOVE Thai food and decided to give them a try. We saw a few social media videos and so we were very excited. The restaurant was so cute and has about 8-10 table set ups. Interior was lovely and lighting was perfect. We sat at the window with a cushioned bench and it was perfect. There was about two servers and they were really sweet. We arrived around 4pm and they had a rush around 5pm with two larger parties for a special reservation. Before we knew it, it was packed and poppin. We ordered; Lao style papaya salad - 10/10 Drunken noodle w/ shrimp - 9/10 Yellow curry w/ shrimp - 9/10 Side of rice Hot tea pot Menu is large so I'll be back to try more yummy dishes and that papaya salad! read more

3- Solid Location, but needs a flavor reboot (Too Much MSG!) Giving this place 3- stars due to quick service, but the food seriously missed the mark due to an overwhelming taste of MSG. The flavor balance was off, and everything tasted overly salty and dull. The Drunken Noodle and the curry sauce for the Roti were just okay, nothing special. The Pad Thai was the biggest disappointment--unbalanced flavor. The tofu dish was terrible; thin and hard. Suggestion: They need to drastically cut back on the seasoning (MSG) and improve the preparation of staples like the tofu. read more

I will edit my review to 5 stars!!! If... Good stuff first: delicious food. First time orderer, probably will order much again. Will be a loyal follower with everyone I talk to soon I hope. The steak salad alone... and also I like the paper bag delivery and cardboard boxes when possible Only reason for 2 stars right now;);)) Pleeeeeease stop giving plastic utensils by default in delivery orders. Why do restaurants do this?? If someone is ordering delivery it's safe to assume they are at a residence where they already have utensils. Why not ask if utensils are needed? I'm not a barbarian but wouldn't it be a win-win? This one drives me nutso Also, if the spring rolls (which are lovely) could be a little smaller, the rice paper bursts at the seams and the stuff spills out. I think just a bit smaller and they're perfect. I'm obsessed with spring rolls Welp that's all, hopeful to cheer Rice Barn on hard read more

Just found my new favorite Thai place in town! Crying Tiger had perfectly cooked steak--medium rare and we loved the addition of mango. Yellow curry was balanced and tasty. The chicken satay order was HUGE wity juicy chicken and a peanut dipping sauce. Didn't try the Pad See Ew but my dinner mates really enjoyed it. Ordered for pick up and was quoted 30 minutes. Showed up at 25 and it was packed and ready to go. Service was polite and professional Definitely going back. read more

A quaint little neighborhood place that opened up six months ago. Clean and nice decor. Food was fresh and on the lighter side. If you're looking for mild flavor on a healthier side then this is your place. If you're are looking for authentic Thai flavors that have your tastebuds dancing, this is not it. I wanted it to be the smoky pungent flavors of authentic Thai cuisine but this falls short. Still a cute place and great service. read more

First time here, and I'm so happy we found this place. Everything we ordered was fresh and full of flavor, and I loved how many vegetarian options they had.

Ok this place is a yes!! I was not super excited when they first opened cause the last place was my favorite Vietnamese restaurant and I was so sad to see it go. Then I started to see some of the reviews and photos and know I needed to try it out. I was bummer when we went they were out of the meat for the crying tiger . Yet was pleasantly surprised by what we did get.. Fresh roll with shrimp $13.95- 4/5, I loved the freshness of the roll with all the veggies but I was missing not having a bit of noodles in the roll like you normally get . Also it would be amazing if they add a more fish sauce/ vinegar base dipping sauce and maybe mix the two sauces the do serve with it together and would definitely put this up there with one of my favorite spring rolls Drunken noodles w/ chicken $15.95- 4/5, this was yum and I would get again Beef salad $18.50- 5/5 this was amazing!!! I used the sauce that was left over to but on the drunken noodles lol. The beef was cooked just right and not tough. The veggies were fresh and that sauce!! Definitely going to get again. The restaurant itself is small but they have really done a nice job of redoing the interior and making it inviting. The staff was awesome and was really helpful when I had questions and totally thankful that he steered me to get the beef salad. read more

AMAZING!!! The best Asian meal I've ever had in Fresno! I ordered the Edamame appetizer, the lunch special, which consisted of the Red Curry with shrimp and the Thai Basil Leaves, and the Sticky Rice with Mango for dessert. Everything was fantastic. The food was hot, boldly flavorful, and pleasantly spicy. Speaking of spice, I like a lot of it and the med. level of spice was just right for me. Condiments are available to make food spicier. I'm going again ASAP and will be ordering the Drunken Noodles. Highly recommend!!! Rice Barn has become my favorite Thai restaurant. There's no need to go anywhere else. Oh, and the service? Polite, professional, and attentive. The atmosphere was conducive to pleasant conversation. I appreciated the absence of any TV screens and loud music. Portions were plentiful. I'm going to enjoy a whole meal again. read more

Yummmmm! The service was excellent! They were very quick to take our drink orders and appetizers. The food came out quickly and fresh! It was delicious! We had the spring rolls and the crab rangoons as appetizers. Very yummy and has been a repeat order from us ever since. The pad thai and the tiger rice plate were great! My personal favorite was the tiger rice plate dish. It came with a good amount of food and the steak was cooked to perfection. It was literally melt in my mouth. For dessert we had the mango sticky rice. It was one of the best mango sticky rice plates I've had! You can tell they truly care about each of their dishes they put out just from the presentation. Everything was so good, we came back the very next day. read more

Less than a year old and a brand new Thai restaurant.. it's small , cutely decorated but was able to sit 15 of us!! Let's start with the service. They were great and very attentive ....of course we had the restaurant to ourselves but even when other customers started to come in, they still continued to be right there and ready to serve.. And so for the food? Everything tasted authentic, flavorful and just the right spice level.. the taste was perfect dish after dish.. the crab Rangoon was to die for!!! Everything we ordered was great from the shrimp Phad Thai to the beef salad and the crying tiger, and Phad se ew and Penang. it did take a long time to get the crying tiger but the presentation alone was worth the wait.. overall a very good Thai food restaurant. We will definitely be back!! read more

I noticed this new Thai restaurant while driving by with my family and decided to grab some takeout. I'm so glad I did because it's now one of my new favorite spots! The chicken pineapple curry had so much flavor and really warmed my soul. The shrimp pad Thai was delicious and was easy to request no peanuts. The Thai tea was thai tea, so good! We also tried a coconut soup, I forgot the name but it was really comforting and tasty. I enjoy supporting local businesses when I can. I highly recommend. read more

11/13/25 Randomly noticed this new place going to Smart & Final on this rainy day! Easily made up what to have for lunch. Great they have boba drinks too! Arrived! They've been open since Friday. Greeted and worker was kind. Happy to give recommendations! I ended up getting the coffee with boba, shrimp spring rolls and tofu vegetable soup with chicken added. Paid for order and he told me it would be ready shortly. Restaurant is very nice! Classy look with many tables and chairs. Nice music playing. Calm. One of the owners was so sweet. She knew I liked the spicy and brought me free spicy edamame to have & try! Appreciated! Received the coffee boba drink first! REALLY great flavor & DELICIOUS boba! They started to get busier and luckily, my order was ready. He bagged it for me and left. Lunchtime! Unfortunately, I ended up really disappointed! =( The soup spilled out of the container and Thankfully, it was in a bag. Didn't make a mess. There was no tofu in it. Only 4 little pieces of chicken. Good amount of fresh veggies. He told me it should be 2-3 servings. Not even 1 with the amount of meat. Bummer!! The spicy edamame that I got for free was Really good! Leftovers! The shrimp spring rolls were a mess. I don't know if they were in a hurry, but they were ripped and not well put together. At least they were fresh and the sauces with it were good!! They are very new and definitely have potential to get better! Hope they do! At least he hooked me up with boba and the drink was good! Plus, spicy edamame was good! Wishing them the best in improving, learning & getting better! read more
