Andrew K.

I have really enjoyed the authentic flavors from this small restaurant near Fresno State. The dishes showcase the hallmark balance of Thai cuisine--sweet, sour, salty, and spicy--all working together in harmony. The Pad Gra Prow (Thai basil stir-fry) stood out for its savory, spicy, and aromatic profile. I ordered it with ground chicken, my usual choice, and it came slightly crispy yet juicy, paired with a generous amount of peppery Thai basil. The rich umami sauce--built from soy, oyster, and fish sauce--coated the meat well, and it was served over rice with a crispy-edged fried egg. I prefer a runnier yolk, and the dish leaned a bit salty, but the bold, spicy flavors still made it a winning combination. The pad prik king was another highlight--a vibrant "dry" curry stir-fry with an intense salty-sweet heat and a fragrant citrus aroma from shredded kaffir lime leaves. I ordered it with beef, which was coated in a thick, concentrated red curry paste without coconut milk. The result was a glossy, deeply flavorful dish with a savory, aromatic, and fiery profile. A great version of this dish strikes a balance between a sharp salty punch and a subtle underlying sweetness, and this one delivered. The green beans were bright, crisp-tender, and fresh, though I would have liked a more generous portion. The kaffir lime leaves added a fragrant, citrusy lift that cut through the richness of the curry paste. The Thai crispy pork belly (Moo Krob) has been my favorite so far. It perfectly captured the defining contrast of crispy, golden-brown skin with tender, juicy meat and rendered fat. The dish was deeply savory and aromatic, with a subtle smoky undertone that added depth. Overall, the dishes are well-balanced and vibrant, showcasing fresh ingredients, bold herbs, and contrasting textures. Each plate reflects the complexity of Thai cooking, with a thoughtful interplay of flavors. The co-owner, originally from northern Thailand, brings extensive experience from running several popular restaurants in Thailand--this being her first in the United States--and that authenticity clearly comes through in the food. Thai Taste offers a menu heavy with vegan and vegetarian options, and every dish is made to order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space itself is small, with a handful of indoor tables, some outdoor seating along the walkway, and counter seating facing the kitchen.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]A small cart in the center displays imported Thai snacks like spicy cookies and peanut brittle, adding a nice cultural touch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Located in the Bulldog Plaza shopping center near Fresno State, it is an ideal spot for students and anyone looking for a quick, flavorful meal without sacrificing authenticity.

Menu 4/2026

Came 7:50 Monday and got seated right away. Waitress brought waters and menu promptly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute little place with 4 tables and wall counter hi chairs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean table with cover.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Drunken noodles came first. Then massaman curry and tom kha soup. They are all ok, not the best but above average. Good service. Good portion for the price. Need update the website menu since price are obsoleted quick.

Red curry and sticky rice
Brittanie R.

I came here with a friend for dinner. When we first sat, it was pretty full and then it cleared out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a pretty small place, you seat yourself.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got red curry with sticky rice. The curry was very flavorful, and the sticky rice was cooked nicely. For the taste I would go back, but probably would order to go. The service was ok, it could have been better. It seemed like they didn't really care to be there. No one was rude, they just didn't check on us or ask if we needed anything else. We just had to get their attention to ask for things and they weren't busy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is also no restroom here, so that made it inconvenient.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is good though.

Hey Thai, Dropped by your place on the way up from LA. Quite a detour from the 99, but heard good things about you from a friend, and we had time, so made the detour. [[HIGHLIGHT]]First impression was, you are the epitome of mom and pop. Small, quaint, clearly family run, child chilling in the back kitchen while adults work[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was really craving Pas Thai recently but got scared by the mixed reviews. I heard later it is because your style of Pad Thai is different (more street style) so it's prob expectations that causes the mixed reviews. Will try next time. Here is what we got. Pad sew Chicken Larb Fried Pork Belly Green Curry Everything was pretty good. No complaints. Loved the fried pork belly. Overall had a good experience with you. The only turn off was the unexpected Surcharge. I really don't like these as they are unexpected and there is no explanation of why. Also when you pay it flashed on screen pretty quick. Then only the total is shown when deciding on tips and such. Just personally a real turn off. Prefer you get rid of surcharge and raise prices of dishes if you need. No need to leave any bad taste is ppls mouths at the end of a good experience. That's my two cents!

Combo pad thai. Worst I've had.
Michael G.

Sadly the worst pad Thai I have ever had. Dry, clunky, and had an unbearable fishy taste. Pork belly had good flavor but cut too small for my liking. I did enjoy the panange beef. But the pad thai is what killed it for me. I won't be back. Staff seem very nice and friendly although I was just in for a pick up. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean but small restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Family owned friendly and attentive staff who take pride in what they serve. More original Thai flavor than most Thai restaurants in Fresno. They specialize in street fare which gives it that quick smoky sticky flavor. Large portions and fair authentic flavor makes this a local favorite among a variety of patrons.

20. Chicken Spring Rolls
Brett S.

When you are heading back from Yosemite and the siren call of fast food does not appeal, come to Thai Taste. Delicious Thai staples like pad see ew and spring roll and panang curry. The friendly service made everything perfect!

60. Thai Fried Rice with beef
Nicholas P.

Service: Amazing Food: Authentic [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance: Great[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've been to Thailand and have had the privilege to experience real authentic Thai cuisine. I feel like Thai Taste really does deliver on the "authentic street food" slogan. When I go to Thai restaurants, I like to judge the big 3. Pad Thai, Thai Tea, and Thai Fried Rice. If a place can't take me back to the streets of Bangkok, I will not go back. Pad Thai: Amazing. It had the right flavor and spice level. Add the peanuts and crack sauce on top. Thai Fried Rice: Flavorful, Smokey, and moist. Slap the crack sauce on top of this too. AMAZING. Thai Tea: honestly tastes like the Thai teas I would get at the markets in Bangkok. Lots of tea flavor. Delicious. I will be going back to try more dishes since the big 3 passed.

Chicken Pad Thai and Pork Spring Rolls
Alma R.

FIVE STARS ALL THE WAYYYYY The Chicken Pad Thai and egg rolls were amazing. We also got to try authentic Thai Tea and Tiger Thai Tea, they were both delicious but the Tiger was our favorite! The staff was phenomenal and service was fantastic too! Literally best spontaneous decision we ever made

90. Thai Iced Tea
Ivy N.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]What drew me in to this business were the aromas flooding the area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was like omg where is that smell coming from?!? [[HIGHLIGHT]]Right across from Fresno State stadium is this little Thai restaurant which was pushing so much flavor in the air.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Just looking thru the glass window you can see one of the owners happily serving dishes to their customers with a big smile. I came in to order fried pork belly, pad Thai, Thai tea and papaya salad was on the house. The crispy fried pork belly was on point, that was the flavor filling the air outside of the business. Almost reminiscent of the old Ac Deli location on first and olive before it burned down. Everything was made fresh to order. The Owners are husband and wife, she is from Thailand so they're authentic Thai flavors and the current cook is a former of Royal Thai Orchid restaurant. I will definitely come back to try other things on menu.

Pad See Ew, Tom Kha Kai Soup, Pork Egg Rolls, Fried Garlic & Pepper. Was all amazing. Hats off to the Chef's.

Fried Garlic & Pepper, Tom Kha Kai combo, Pork Egg Rolls, Pad See Ew. Was amazing. Hats off to the Chefs.

Sukhothai noodles
Trang H N.

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would. I've eaten at dozens of Thai restaurants across California--some fancy, some hole-in-the-wall--but Thai Taste in Fresno might just be the best. The crispy pork with sticky rice is hands-down phenomenal. The pork skin is perfectly crunchy, the meat is juicy, and when dipped in their green and red chili sauces, it's pure flavor heaven. The sauces are fresh, punchy, and balanced--clearly made in-house with care. Their Sukhothai noodles? Incredible. The broth is rich and full of depth, the noodles have a great bite, and the meatballs are tender and flavorful. It's a dish that feels both comforting and exciting--exactly what Thai food should be. On top of that, the owner is the sweetest and makes everyone feel genuinely welcome. You can taste the love in the food and feel it in the service. If you're someone who appreciates authentic, bold, thoughtfully prepared Thai food, this place is worth the drive. Truly a hidden gem--and absolutely Michelin-worthy in flavor and hospitality.

33. Drunken Noodle
Anna N.

Walked in just because we were in the area and hungry and WOW! I am so glad we did! We went in at around 5:30 and there was a rush of phone calls, but the gentleman kindly took our order after handling 3 phone orders in a row quickly and kindly. He let us know our food might take about 15 minutes but it came out sooner and he even offered a taste of their special soda while we waited which was refreshing! My drunken noodles are SO DELICIOUS and my fiance loved his thai fried rice. We will definitely be back!!!

Idk. *shrugs* This time we got: Pad Kra Pao, Pad Se-Ew (beef), Yellow Curry (chicken), and Thai Style Papaya Salad for dinner. We each had a different favorite dish out of the three entrees... Pad Se-Ew was mine (noodle head), followed by the Pad Kra Pao (perfect flavor, not too strong on the basil, egg fried just right), then the curry last (I prefer green or red more). The salad was good, refreshing. No spice whatsoever, but we knew that (one of the girls can't handle as much spice). The winner of our dinner? The Thai Tea Flight! I love the option of flights anywhere I go. It gives you the chance to try all the flavors you're curious about without committing to one that you may or may not like. Man... these were amazing. If I had to rank the flavors-- it was a toss-up between the Original Thai Tea and the Ube but since this is the battle of the Thai Teas... the OG gets a slight edge. Both freaking amazing though (we ordered full sizes of these after). Obviously Thai Iced Coffee comes next but coffee should be it's own category. It wins on its own as coffee. The Green Thai Tea came in last for all 3 of us, I believe. It's good, just not as good as the other three... and it's definitely more fragrant? Idk the right word for it. Anyway, I'd make more stops here just for these drinks alone now that i know how good they are. Staff was amazing. Friendly. Attentive. Restaurant still very aesthetic. Their plating of the meals? A+. It was a very good dinner.

Although common in other Thai restaurants, the satay was the most flavorful and can honestly say are one of the better dishes compared to others that I've had at other restaurants. Will definitely come back when in the area.
