    Cucumber mule
    T E.

    Met with friends for dinner and from the moment we walked in we were greeted by the friendly staff. We had dinner reservations however they were have problems with the system and could find our reservation. They still found a table for us and seated us right away. The cocktails were so good and they accommodated our special requests (making drinks less sweet). We got the cucumber mule and the white lotus. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and makes you feel like you are in another place. We ordered the spring rolls (peanut sauce was amazing!), chicken satay, pad Thai, chicken panang curry and drunken noodles. Everything was delicious! Highly recommend!

    The service is amazing! 10/10! If you don't know what to order definitely ask the waitress! Anything they recommend is top of of the line! The food was really good. The Thai steak salad was so refreshing and crunchy. It was a little tangy and had chilli oil but it wasn't spicy. The Nam kao bites, they are Crispy Coconut Rice, with cured Pork, Peanuts, fresh Herbs in Lettuce cups. Wrap it like a taco and enjoy ! Perfect for a romantic date, friend date or dinner with family.

    Such a hidden gem in fresno. Presentation service and the flavors of the food everything was just so perfect

    Crab fried rice

    The freshness of the food, its variety and flavor were phenomenal! The green curry was a home run hit. I have never been to a Thai restaurant with such good ambiance. The service was extremely good as well. Must try!

    Vegan pad se-ew

    Food and service were both beyond amazing. Ambiance was very chic but comfortable. Like going home to bougie parents. I'm vegan, my son isn't. When I ordered off the vegan menu I was informed they could make more menu items vegan. When we told our server my son couldn't have peanuts they she was very informed on what he could and shouldn't order.

    We were absolutely disappointed with our experience at this place. The service was almost nonexistent. At one point, we were honestly wondering if we were supposed to get our own drinks. We had Valentine's Day reservations for a group of six, and it appeared there was only one server handling all the tables. She also seemed to be the bartender. After she took our drink order, we waited over 30 minutes with no drinks, only to see her behind the bar making/shaking drinks. Another man, maybe the manager or owner, was walking around collecting payments, and another employee was clearing tables. We felt bad for our server but we were hungry and were already waiting for a long time. The food was overpriced for what we got We ordered family-style so we could share and sample different dishes, but several items lacked flavor, while others were overly sweet. They were small too for the price we paid. Our food was also warm rather than hot, which made it seem like it had been sitting in the kitchen for a while. :( The interior is cute though. But between the poor service and disappointing food, this place is unfortunately not for us.

    Panang Duck
    Jacqueline A.

    Came here back in August (finally sat down to review) and I cannot stress enough how good the smoked pork belly is -- easily the standout dish for me. My only wish is that it came with a few more bites because it was that good. We ordered a variety to get a feel for the menu: papaya salad, smoked pork belly, panang duck, crab fried rice, mixed vegetable tofu, mango sticky rice, and Thai tea. Overall, the menu leans a bit outside of the traditional Thai flavors I'm used to, which made the experience interesting and different. The space itself is beautiful and makes it a great spot for a dinner date or a night out. The staff was also incredibly friendly and welcoming, which always makes a difference. I'm already eyeing the drink menu for next time Overall, it was a great experience and everything was beautifully plated. I'd definitely come back to explore more of the menu--especially dishes with bolder, more pronounced flavors.

    Chicken Satay Sticks (2)

    Pleasantly surprised. We came as a last minute choice to eat out on a Friday evening. The restaurant was busy and we didn't make a reservation. The host found us a table after a 5 minute wait. Very nice. We been to a few Thai restaurants in the area and have not been overwhelmed. Here we ordered our usual satay and Penang curry with rice. The Penang curry came with some Roti which was a nice departure. Let's ypu taste the Curry by itself without the protein and veggies. We also ordered the Steak salad which I haven't had for years. Hoping it came with lemon grass and it surely did. Whomever the chefs are here I think they are authentic and have the spices to do the job. We will be coming back to sample the other items on the menu. With a Sinha beer and Thai Iced Tea, we left at a very reasonable $35 ea.

    Thai Tea Flight
    Jozel R.

    I made dinner reservations here for 2 to end our day together celebrating my best friend's birthday. I arrived exactly at the time of our reservation. There was a large family group that waiting to get seated. After they were settled I was greeted and was taken to our table. My friend and both ordered a dish and app along with their tea flight! Food: Pad Thai, Panang curry and chicken satay. Whoa! Everything was DELICIOUS!!! The pad Thai had so much flavor the Panang curry was so creamy and had a kick of spice. The chicken satay came with a peanut sauce and the spiciness was a creeper. Everything was beautiful plated. I also ordered papaya salad Lao style mild to go for my husband. Tea flight came in these cute small glasses and presentation was so cute. Flavors: Thai tea, ube, green and coffee. The Thai tea, coffee and green were good tasted exactly how they should! The green tea had some coconut to it! The ube fell a bit short, had trouble tasting the ube flavor. The food was amazing! Our server was great; she was kind and attentive and the restaurant is clean and aesthetically beautiful inside. I would recommend and can't wait to return to try their cocktails and other dishes. Thankfully we arrived the time we did because around 6pm crowds of people started to show up and it was getting really loud.

    We recently dined at this Thai restaurant, and the experience truly captured the essence of authentic street food. The egg rolls were amazing -- crisp, light, and perfectly golden with a fresh, flavorful filling. The satay was beautifully roasted with a deep smoky flavor, slightly charred in the best way and served with a rich, balanced peanut sauce. The minced chicken with basil was a standout as well, fragrant and bold with that classic sweet-spicy-savory balance, and just the right amount of heat. Each dish felt vibrant, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared while staying true to its rustic roots. The service and ambiance complemented the food perfectly. Staff were attentive, friendly, and efficient without being intrusive, and the dishes arrived hot and well-timed. The atmosphere strikes a relaxed, lively balance -- warm lighting, simple décor, and subtle Thai touches create a comfortable setting. Overall, it's a wonderful place to enjoy authentic Thai flavors with great service in a cozy, inviting environment.

    Panang curry
    Christina C.

    Must go! Service was so kind and friendly. From being greeted until we left. They were timely and attentive to our table without ever feeling rushed or annoyed. Food was fantastic. Went with 4 people so got to try a variety of dishes and everything was so good. Very authentic flavors and well put together presentation for everything that came out. Ambience and overall feel are definitely a step up. Feels very chic and higher end, not basic at all. Loved it, will come back again and again.

    Spring rolls , pad see ew?
    Mypang T.

    I had low expectations and Satay exceeded them. The restaurant is small, cozy and the decor is cute. Everything we ordered was good. We ordered tofu spring rolls, drunken noodle, papaya salad - thai style and kaopiek. Spring rolls were one of the better ones I've had in town. They didn't skip out on the herbs like mint which most usually do. Yum! We ordered drunken noodles, but we think they gave us pad see ew instead. It was still good but wasn't drunken noodles. Papaya salad - the server gave us Lao style thum although we ordered thai style. We said we'd keep the Lao style platter, it looked good but the server insisted to fix the order. The thai style thum was good. The kaopiek was a chicken broth with meatballs. I didn't try this but my friends liked it. Overall, big portion sizes and we enjoyed the food. Although there were minor hiccups, the quality of food was there. I'd def return again with friends or my honey for a date night.

    Drunken noodles
    Raisa G ..

    The owner is the best! She is very attentive. Makes sure we have everything we need and is very appreciative. We love coming here!! The food is always so flavorful. The perfect quick. I always get the drunken noodles. Everything is always well presented and tastes phenomenal. We also had the wrapped shrimp and I can not wait to go back for more of those. A must try if you haven't!!!

Parking is exactly what you'd expect for downtown, so just make sure you lock your car and don't leave anything visible. We went around 5 PM on a Thursday. It started fairly quiet and gradually got busier throughout the evening, but it never felt overcrowded. They do have a rule that if there's a waitlist, your time may be limited to about two hours so they can seat other guests, which is reasonable for a place like this. The drinks were fantastic. I honestly didn't have a bad drink all night. They offer cold drinks, room temperature drinks, hot drinks, and just about every type of spirit you can think of. The cocktails are very creative, and the bartenders will actually warn you ahead of time if a drink has flavors they think you might not like, which I appreciated. The bartenders were excellent and really knew what they were doing. We had a spicy margarita, mojito, whiskey smash, an ube cocktail, and a few others, and all of them were great. Prices were fair for the quality, creativity, and overall experience. Not cheap, but definitely not overpriced either. One thing I really respected was that they had Narcan and fentanyl test strips available on-site. You don't see that often, and it shows they actually care about people's safety. If you're looking for craft cocktails in Fresno, this place is definitely worth visiting. I'll definitely be coming back.

We were promptly seated on the patio, but after 15-20 minutes we left without ever being served. Not one staff member acknowledged us. We still had all our menus on the table, no water, and even had a highchair brought to our table after we asked our server to bring it to us when we were seated--so it was obvious we were there and had not been helped. What made it worse was that the tables around us were seated after us and received water, drinks, and even an appetizer from the same server, while we were completely ignored. When I spoke to the manager on the way out, instead taking ownership, her first response was an apology followed by, "The host must not have told the server." That may explain it, but it doesn't excuse it. The manager had a great opportunity to own the mistake and try to make things right. Instead, she offered an excuse. Very disappointing experience.
