i recently placed a to go order for pick up over the phone. i ordered the nam khao, pork larb (medium spice), papaya salad (medium spice) and thai tea. everything tasted fresh, flavorful and delicious! one of my favorite lao dishes is nam khao and the one here is really good. it's savory, umami and has crunchy bits and pieces. *bonus points for sustainability* i brought my own cup for the thai tea, which they happily accepted without any issues! would recommend, especially for a quick bite, pit stop or take out. conveniently located next and within a gas station. read more

This dish was so delicious and packed with flavor! It had the perfect little kick of spice without being overwhelming. The Thai basil complemented everything perfectly, adding such a fresh, aromatic flavor. I also loved the addition of the bell peppers and jalapeños--they were definitely a bonus and gave the dish even more flavor and texture. Everything came together beautifully, especially with the rice and egg. This is officially my new favorite dish, and I will definitely be ordering it again! read more

Sandy’s Chili - I forgot what it was called. But it's pork belly with bell peppers and jalapeños and Thai basil and rice and a little sauce. Chefs kiss - Vietnamese Near Me - Fresno, California

Apparently haven't ate here yet. Reviewed the wrong place. Have been wanting to try though and will soon :)

Food is always so good here. Service is always friendly and quick. I always recommend this place to anyone that likes Thai/lao/vietnamese food. While your waiting for your food you can grab things from the convenience store that shares the same building. I grabbed an Arizona while I waited. read more

Good fast food! Located next to a gas station. Ambiance is more of a food to go style, but there are tables where you can sit. Service was nice. I ordered a banh mi and shrimp spring rolls. The ingredients were fresh and the bread for the banh mi was crunchy. Would recommend! read more

I give Sandy Chili 3.5 stars. The menu was hit or miss. This is adjacent to the gas station and has a hot case for people who want to just come in for a quick grab n go. Service was fine, no complaints. I ordered the chicken with sticky, egg rolls and Mok Pa. The Chicken was decent and the rice was perfect- it wasn't mushy or too soft but not too hard. Mok pa had NO flavor at all. I was surprised because it looked to be seasoned and prepared well. Egg rolls were overall tasty and I liked that they were not fried in old oil and were not too greasy. Dipping sauce was amazing - she also perfected that. The menu is quite extensive. I only tried some basics so I would definitely come back and try the kao piak next. read more

Very nice staff, a little bit of language barrier but that's ok. I love their pork belly and nam khao. Their nam khao is a decent size for the pricing. I just wish it made to order so that it stays crispy because it is prepackaged, the containers builds up moisture and softens up the nam khao but can't complain for the price and portion and still taste good. In my opinion, I think they have one of the best pork belly in town. read more

Sandy’s Chili - NamKhao and pork belly. I think the nam khao was like $6.51 and the pork belly was $8.99-$10.99 I forgot - Vietnamese Near Me - Fresno, California

This is a great little to go place located in the 76 gas station . They have boba drinks , and Thai / Laotian food . I got a papaya salad extra spicy, nham Kao, and a sausage / sticky rice dish to go. Total was $27, portion size is great . The papaya salad had a great taste tons of fermented fish flavor and very spicy . It was my first time trying nham Kao and I loved it . Crispy rice with chunks of sausage and herb flavoring . The sausage / sticky rice dish was also great , the sausage was really moist and filled with meat , herbs, and noodle . Great place to grab some food to go or if you are looking for a quick eat ! read more

I've been here a few times already and here are the items I have tried: Banh Mi- It didn't have the pork floss like everyone raved about and was not as spicy as I liked. Sticky Rice & Chicken- Just as good as Sweet Mango's sticky rice & chicken Lao cucumber salad- It was so fresh and delicious, but i had to send it back due to the juice spilling everywhere. They have sturdy to go bowls with a lid now, guys. Sausage- 1st time wasn't a fan, 2nd time, it was so delicious Kao poon- basically a Lao coconut curry, noodles soup with vermicelli rice noodles - it was good and they accommodated my bff and I when we requested fish sauce and limes. Papaya Salad- Lao style- So crunchy, so savory and sweet & good, my bff said 30 peppers, but I negotiated her down to 20 and 20 was perfect for us and no i did not throw up. I can eat spicy as long as it is not chili powder. Lol. Thai tea- it was so bitter, I poured it down the drain. Honestly, one of the best Lao food places I've eaten in awhile. read more

Super excited to try the Laos sandwich. Curious how much different it tastes to the Vietnamese sandwich. Don't like the bread they used, and it can be a little more toasted. Very thiiiiiin paste of patte, can barely see it. Don't know what the white dressing they used in the sandwich, wish I can sub it for visible patte. Overall, the sandwich is not that bad, a little sweet, maybe it's a Laos thing. Loved that it super loaded and big. Would I order it again? Only if someone pays for it and go get it. For drink, I got the mint tea milk. O M G, drown with sugar. I can only do teeny sippy. So much sugar! The flavor, reminds me of the pink bubba roll up gum -there is no tea or milk flavor. Down the drain it goes. Even if someone pays for it I would not want it. read more

A very clean authentic restaurant serving hot food to go they have an extended menu of pad Thai fried rice in a variety of great options. They also serve Boba milkshakes, etc., and assortment of desserts. Their eggrolls are 10 out of 10. Sandys's chili has really really good eggrolls the eggrolls are four for $5 really worth it. The dipping sauce they give you is not watery or runny thin it's the right consistency actually very great very authentic. The chicken is seasoned perfectly. They give you a lot of rice. And the pepper paste is great. Very fast service they are inside a gas station so it's not a quiet place it has seating for you to dine in as well, their grab and go menu is has a good selection of typical selections the chicken sandwich had the crispy bread, veggie on the bread where fresh and great! I'll add extra veggies next time. read more

Spring rolls were plain. Lots of lettuce and hardly any topping of cilantro or carrots. No cucumber. The pork meat tastes the same as the one used in the sandwich, it had a very porky taste I can't define. The Banh Mi Sandwhich is mid. Thin pate spreading. Again, the pork meat had a distinct taste of old or something to it. Good amount of toppings. Kapoon is good, it's on the sweeter side for sure. Lots of quail eggs, lots of chicken. Broth not too thick. read more

Small and is attached to the gas station. Amazing customer service. They were very kind and patient with us as we were a big group. Everything on the menu was amazing including the papaya. Most of the food is to go but soup wise they make it. You order first from counter and there is limited seating. read more

Thum pho was really good. Ordered it with a medium spice level and it wasn't spicy at all, we should have ordered it spicy. It had a good balance of the pungent fermented fish sauce you want in a Lao style papaya salad. Pho Noodles were cooked perfectly. Definitely recommend. Also got the egg rolls, those were okay. Not the best, but also not bad. read more

I was really excited to try this place because I had tried Sandy's sausage at RN supermarket and it was delicious. We went into the shop which is connected to the gas station store. Their menu was quite extensive for a pick n go kind of store. We ordered sausage and sticky rice, chicken and sticky rice, Lao papaya, and Lao sandwich. My favorite dish was the chicken it had a slightly sweet flavor to it which I enjoyed. Second fav dish was the sausage. I didn't like the papaya at all; it was missing something although I couldn't pinpoint what. The Lao sandwich was alright. I probably wouldn't be going back but do encourage people to try it at least once. I do really like their sausages and will continue to buy the frozen ones at RN. read more

The smell of the food smelled great I ordered egg rolls, two plates of sticky rice with chicken and mild papaya salad ! The place is very clean and has seating maybe next time I'll sit in and eat but would definitely come back again read more

Service was great. Ambiance is what you'd expect from a place like this. ORDER: Khao Piak (extra chicken): Noodles were soooo good, thick & chewy. Chicken was tender, juicy dark meat. Soup was flavorful. Some crunchy fried garlic would level this up! Kao Boon Red Curry Chicken Soup: Good flavor & nicely spicy w/out being too spicy. Tiny eggs were creamy & delicious. Addition of shredded cabbage was good. Noodles were tender & kept on the side. Chicken was good but all the bones are a bit of a pain. Not into the blood chunks (just not my thing; you may love it). Fried Rolls: Standard. Good. Spring Rolls: Good & nicely filled. I prefer mine w/mint inside too tho. Peanut sauce was excellent (thick & peanutty). Really happy we tried her again (tried not long after she opened but she didn't have most of what we wanted). Just hope she settles on the menu & has everything available in the future. Good food, try her & you won't be disappointed! read more

Heard about this place so decided to stop by to support small business. Walked in and it was clean with a couple table seatings and seatings along the wall. Decided to order papaya salad, red curry kaoboon, Thai tea and a combo Vietnamese sandwich. Starting off with the papaya...papaya could have been better. It lacks flavor from the sauce. Kinda disappointed. Now onto to the kaoboon, originally I had thought that they would serve you with a bowl so you can eat inside the restaurant since they had seating but instead, they give you a separate bowel for the broth and a plastic bad full of noodles and the condiments. After putting the noodles and condiments inside the bowel of red curry broth, it made the curry cold which I dislike cause I like to eat my kaoboon hot. Now, onto the sandwich. The sandwich was good. Taste like every other place but I would say they ain't shady with the paste. Wish it would have more cilantro and daikon. read more

I usually order from here since it is close to work and my sons gym so it is convenient due to location but this is the 2nd time I've called in an order, got there and they said they're sold out then try to offer me something different. That is extremely frustrating! Just tell me you sold out on the phone and save me the trip! Bad customer service and both times it is the owner's husband not even just a regular worker! read more

I ordered their papaya noodle salad (mama instant noodles) and was sooo DISAPPOINTED! My sister was there earlier and her bowl of payaya noodles salad had everything in it, shrimp and long green along with much more. So I decided to pay them a visit for the same bowl and OMG!! it was such a disappointment. Soooo saddd!!! My bowl only had noodles and a few slice of cabbage. We even showed him the pic of my sister previous bowl and he said OK SURE. The outcome was tremendously tramatizing. He robbed from me, that bowl was 13.00, felt like I was scammed!! NEVER GOING BACK AGAIN!!! Zero read more

I'm glad to finally have another hot food Togo place on this side of town. AC deli is my usual go to but it's a bit out of the way for me. This place is just as good, maybe even better? She just opened her full menu isn't available yet, but she has a lot on her menu. Sausage & rice: Sandy's chili is already known for her sausages. She delivers frozen sausages all over California. They're so good. (5/5) Chicken & rice: it's your standard chicken and rice. Nothing really stands out about it. But it's good. (4/5) Nam khao: it's good but could use a bit more salt for me. (4/5) Thum kapoon: I love thum kapoon, not every does it. But whenever they do it I always order it. Her thum is tasty. Could use a littleeeee more salt but nothing you can't fix.(4/5) Baked eggs: delicious. Tastes like home (5/5) Banh mi: I got both Vietnamese style and Lao style. Both so good. If you like a little more spicy get the Lao version. It has pork floss and spicy sauce. But the bread is where it's at. It doesn't tear up the roof of your mouth. Iykyk. Soft and crunchy at the same time. (5/5) Overall it's delicious. I will definitely be coming back. I can't wait for her to add the other stuff to her menu. read more

Decided to visit by chance on a Saturday afternoon. The place was slightly busy, but the person taking orders was quick, friendly, and efficient. I ordered the Vietnam-style Bahn Mi, chicken with sticky rice, and a Thai tea smoothie. The bahn mi was great. A very solid and traditional style bahn mi. I really liked the bread they used, too. It was perfect. The chicken and sticky rice was a little plain tasting. I expected more flavor on the chicken, but regardless, it was still nice and juicy. The chicken I got came with two legs and a thigh piece. Plenty for one person. The Thai tea smoothie was good but had a minty aftertaste to it which confused me a little since I wasn't used to mint in Thai teas. It wasn't bad at all, just different than expected. Overall, I recommend visiting and trying for yourself. There's lots of options to choose from on their menu, and all the food looks delicious. read more

I've been wanting to try this place ever since she opened however I don't live near this area. Luckily today I happened to be in the area and decided to grab some lunch. I ordered mild papaya salad, regular banh mi sandwich and chicken with sticky rice. The papaya salad was the best I've had so far in Fresno! I like that there were thin and thick slices of papaya it gave it great texture, flavor was really good I didn't have to add anything to it and it wasn't too spicy. The banh mi was alright, the bread was kinda hard and in my opinion too much pate and mayo. The chicken and rice was delicious and the pepper sauce that comes with it pairs nicely. I would definitely come back and try her other dishes read more

I had pre-ordered two large trays for a Thanksgiving party and paid half the amount a week in advance. Sandy provided the payment information, confirmed receipt, and acknowledged my order. On the day of the event, after I sent the remaining 50%, she called to say she didn't realize the order was for that day. By then it was already 4 PM. She told me it would take another hour and a half to make one of my dishes. I asked for a refund since the food wasn't ready, but she asked me to please give her an hour so I agreed. Unfortunately, the food was a 4/10 for me. This will be my first and last time ordering. read more

Entered through the main "express market" door. The place was nice, small, and clean. The greeting was friendly. I ordered eggrolls, papaya salad (mild), kapoon, and roasted coconut drink. Luckily, I stayed to eat on site because she forgot my eggrolls. The eggrolls weren't as fresh as I'd hoped they'd be, but they were still good. The coconut drink was refreshing as usual and complimented the meal very well. The papaya salad had a nice crunch, flavorful, and delicious. I asked for a side of peanuts for more taste and texture. The kapoon had good flavors, but as soon as you added the cold noodles and nicely shredded toppings, the liquid also became lukewarm and wasn't as tasty. They were kind enough to "shred" the chicken for me. Otherwise, as in some pictures I've come across, it's whole, like a drumstick. Overall, I'd come back for the papaya and maybe try their other food items. read more

I love that they have green Thai tea, super delicious! They kao piak broth is so bomb, I would say one of the best broths in town. Tastes authentic. Kinda skimpy on the noodles but the broth makes up for it. I wasn't a fan of the banh mi. Price point low key kind of pricey haha. They also offer party platters/ catering any time, you would just call in advance. Lady who helped us was friendly. I like how it's connected to the gas station so you can just go across the hallway and purchase anything else you'll like from the store. read more

10/25/24 Hot and New! Must try! Getting lunch! I had issues calling it in in, but they have it to where you can order through Clover. Convenient! I ordered the Khai Piak chicken noodle soup and shrimp spring rolls. Paid for it on Clover & went to pick it up. Arrived. It's right next to Express Mart & 76 gas station. Small wait and greeted by kind worker. Let her know the number to call in wasn't working. Wrong number on Yelp. She appreciated me letting her know and the order was handed over. Lunchtime! Khai Piak chicken noodle soup1/2 with the spicy sauce included was Really Great. Spicy with a good amount of chicken & thick, tasty noodles! Shrimp spring roll was Great too! Fresh & tasty and even better with the dipping sauces included! Mother Saadi her half was Great! She loved the thick noodles & thought the shrimp sprung rolls were Great too!
