    Veggie Egg Rolls :)
    Gladys G.

    What a cute small restaurant. I'm thankful that I didn't go when it was busy. Went here after work and chose a table in the corner. I ended up ordering veggie egg rolls and beef bulgogi. The lady taking my order was friendly and welcoming. When the egg rolls came, I suggest to wait a few minutes for it to cool down because it was hot lol it was really good and I just wanted to order more. Then the bulgogi came in a skillet and there were vegetables in it. Amazing flavor and it was a big portion. I enjoyed the food and I can't wait to come back and probably try some udon :)

    Started to come back (to-go orders only). Much better with their service. Food is consistent. Price has gone up, but still reasonable. Haven't tried their online service since it is easy to do phone order. Usually don't have to wait too long.

    Jam Pong

    I am not native to Fresno. This is my second time in the city and last time I didn't eat out at all, so this was my first experience dining in town. I got the Jjamppong and it was so good and flavorful! It was also very big for the price. It has the right amount of spice and plenty of delicious broth. I also got a side of pickled radish which is always super delicious. My cousins got beef udon and it looked super good. Everything came out so hot and I had to stop myself from burning my tastebuds by digging in immediately! The staff were very kind and helpful when I had questions about the menu. Our waitress was super attentive. Inside was nice and warm which was a great contrast to the cold, foggy weather outside. This place is definitely on my list of places to revisit next time I visit Fresno!

    Rock & Noodles is tucked away in a small plaza but is home to some authentic Korean food. The waitress was very kind and polite. We ordered the Jam Pong, which is a spicy Korean seafood soup, and the Beef Bulgogi. The Jam Pong was fabulous- spicy but hearty with a generous amount of seafood and chewy, thick noodles. The beef bulgogi was also delicious. We got medium spicy but I could've gotten more spice. It was delicious paired with steamed rice! Amazing food, I'm looking forward to eating here again!

    Salad

    Although the restaurant is small and could benefit from some minor updates, the food was excellent. The portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable. We ordered the beef jajangmyeon, jjamppong, beef bulgogi plate, bacon fried rice, and shrimp fried rice. The bacon fried rice was outstanding, with a perfect balance of butter, smoky flavor, and saltiness. The shrimp fried rice was equally well-prepared. My beef bulgogi was well-seasoned, offering just the right combination of sweet and savory. I didn't try the beef jajangmyeon myself, but my children thoroughly enjoyed it. Service was also impressive; our server was courteous and attentive. Overall, we had a great experience and would gladly return.

    Udon with chicken. Spicy.

    Hidden spot on Shaw and West area. It had been on my book marks for a long time. I love beef bulgogi and was craving it so I opted for that with the veggie fried rice. The combo comes with salad which is just iceberg lettuce but the dressing is pretty good. Rice is ok. Pot stickers are good I tend to get that as an appetizer when I come. Beef bulgogi is a nice sized portion and good. I've had better beef bulgogi though. They get super busy but they're efficient and quick. No fountain drinks here just can sodas. Overall it's just good not amazing but it hits the spot if you're craving Korean style food.

    This place never disappoints!!! Love the food and the customer service is always great. Staff is always super friendly. Their Fire Chicken and Hot wings are definitely a must and will not be disappointed at all! Their Bacon Fried Rice tastes so good and brings back memories to your mom's home cooked meals. Might not be the cleanest all the time but the food will be worth it. Highly recommend!

    Potstickers
    Rebekah M.

    Not for me! Came in and stood at the door for a very long time before someone seated me. Prices are pretty high. I got shrimp and potstickers and both were very bland. I know I should have tried noodles but I was just in an apps mood. The servers didn't spend much time on me. Seemed annoyed I took up a table alone. Had to flag someone down for a box. The meal pictured was 21 and sadly it tasted like nothing.

    Bulgogi Beef with veggie fried rice
    Patrick T.

    I love this place and would recommend it to everyone. This is my second time here. This time I ordered the combination plate with the fried rice which I love and I think it's one of the best around. This fried rice does not rely on bacon and butter for it to taste good. It is so flavorful. There may be butter in this though. But I order it with the Fire Chicken. This was spicy chicken with a similar texture as an orange chicken. However I think they used gochujang as the glaze mixed with ketchup possibly. It was a sweet spicy taste and it was good but I would go with the bulgogi beef again. My wife ordered the beef jjangmyeon, this was tasty and meaty. My wife however feels that it needs a little more salt. We also ordered the pickled radish and kimchi. To me this is a nice little hidden gem. I will be back.

    I came to Fresno to visit my aunt who has critical problems at a nearby hospice care. I went to visit cousins and one of them suggested to try out this place because he loves Korean food and Korean culture. Of course we believed him because he's obsessed with it. The place is very small, but a nice jewel in the rough per se. I ordered a potsticker 6 piece and the chicken teriyaki bowl without any SAUCE on it! It contained vegetables like broccoli and carrots, steamed rice and the chicken. Overall, very healthy considering the other stuff on the menu. Service came from a very polite Asian woman. She dropped our potstickers accidentally on the table but was kind enough to replace them. My chicken bowl without the sauce was about 12$ and the 6 potstickers were 7$. My friends and family ordered the pork bulgogi fried rice combination plate for $17, a beef kalbi with fried rice for $17 and a jajayngmyeon dish for about 15$. Overall, not as highly priced as I thought given the amount of food. But astonishingly the food was good quality. I have had Korean bbq from tofu house where I live and paiks noodle. The difference however; you do not get the kimchi, cucumber radish and other glass noodles as appetizers. The teriyaki chicken bowl without the sauce was excellent. 5/5 very good tasting chicken bowl. Fresh, tasty and delicious. It was a little bland, but I like how after I consumed it, it tasted like I ate a good quality dinner. The potstickers were deep fried which I didn't like too much, but the new ones that came after the waitress dropped them were a little browner than the ones that fell on the table. The pork was good, but I don't like eating pork. It was okay. The beef kalbi was rubbery though. Gotta cook it more, but the place was going to close in 10 minutes and the cook had to rush it, so he did get it done enough. The fried rice was good, but it was not too greasy and seasoned very little. The best dish was mine. Prices were fair and the interior was clean and somewhat delightful to sit comfortably as the tables were separated far apart from other guests. I didn't try the jajangmyeon there but I tried it before. Not a fan, but it smelled very good. Recommended, experience was great, service fast and kind, quality of food to value was good $75 ish total, clean interior, parking was decent and location safe. What I loved the most was the great kind service and how quickly the food arrived (18 minutes or so for all) and given this timeframe, food was excellent except the beef kalbi that was rubbery. Restrooms clean and convenient and ambiance was cozy given that there were other guests. Aroma was amazing.

    Seafood Ramen - Asked for spicy

    I am stuck on the spicy seafood ramen! It's the BEST! Right amount of seafood, tasty soup. Usually have to take half to go for dinner. If you like spicy soups, this is the right choice. You can adjust spiciness to your liking. Staff is also nice and accommodating

    10/10 -- Best Korean Spot Ever! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a super kind lady who immediately made us feel comfortable. The place has a cozy, dimly lit vibe that makes it feel warm and inviting. When we ordered our food, everything came out fresh, hot, and surprisingly fast. We got the Ramen, Chow Mein, and Beef Rib -- and I'm not exaggerating when I say this might be the best Korean food we've ever had. Every bite was packed with flavor, and you can tell it was made with care. We ended up eating way more than we planned (it was that good!), and when we couldn't finish, the same sweet lady helped us pack everything up. Such great service! Whether you're a local or just visiting, this is definitely a must-try spot. We absolutely loved it and I never thought I'd give a place a perfect 10/10 -- but Rockin Noodles deserves it. Highly recommend!

    Jjamppong, potstickers, and pickled radish

    Best Jajangmyeon (black bean noodles) and jjamppong (Spicy seafood noodles) in town. Smaller dining area but feels very homey. Great service especially when ordering online and picking up food.

    When you order ramen to go are the noodles packaged separately from the broth?

    Do they have rice cakes here, if not does anyone know a place in Fresno I can find them?

    I don't think they do... they have rice cake at Asiana Market. They also have a little mom & pop restaurant attached.

Dog House Grill has the BEST tri-tip sandwiches ever! Trust me, I have tried others and nothing compares. Upon arrival, parking is always full. If you have some time to wait, it will start to clear slowly. Entrance always has a long line to order food. Another way to order is inside where you find a table by the bar area and be served by a waiter/waitress. The ambiance is sports related so you'll see big screen TVs everywhere with all kind of sports playing and sports decor on the walls. Seating can be a bit of a wait since it's always busy so you kinda have to stand around and wait for tables to clear out or you might even get lucky and find one right away. Ordering is easy, big screens for menus upon entering and cashiers waiting to take your order. Once you order your food, it's a bit of a wait until they call your number. Our order today was 2 tri tip sandwiches and a side of fries. Totaling out $40. - Tri-tip sandwiches are $17 each. Worth it every single time. 1000/10 - Side of fries is actually a pretty large order. Seasoned a bit and for the size and taste 8/10 All in all, a great place to eat. I crave this often and it's located near the Savemart Center/Fresno State area which you can't miss. You can even smell it from a close distance. But in all seriousness, go try it. You won't regret it.

They ran out of their 2 cobblers, chicken lollipop (I usually find that they run out of this often) and pork belly today. Took 10 mins to get food after ordering. A good amount of spots to eat inside and outside. We ordered two 2-meat plates + cornbread. All in all, we had their brisket, burnt ends, tri-tip, and ribs + coleslaw, potato salad, Mac & cheese, and beans as sides. We've tried almost everything at earlier visits and burnt ends are still my fav. All meats are tasty with their special rub, as well as their OG bbq sauce on the burnt ends. No notes for any of the sides- just delicious! Also if you like some heat, definitely get their spicy BBQ sauce on the side. This will forever be my fav BBQ spot!
