“This was some Really tasty food. I've come a few times now. The pork belly is so delicious. They also have some of the best Lao sausage in fresno. The price is good for the portions. The sticky rice plates have a generous amount of rice. Service is always been fast for me. Very simple and amazing food.“
“Restaurants in this part of town are a hit or miss. You'll go to a restaurant and have a 5 star experience, then go back later and have a 1 star experience. This place is a hole in the wall. It was my first time eating here and the food was very authentic. The chicken pho was very good, and the portions were generous. It's a small place, family owned, and with great service. The restroom was nice and clean.“
“I took my family to U-D Thai Restaurant because I was curious about it after reading an article on Fresno Bee.They were so busy when we got there around 1:30 PM. It was a long wait for our order. However, the waitress had informed us in advance and asked if that was okay with us. If you see my pictures, some of the dishes were already half-eaten because we were starving ?Our favorites were the Thai Iced Coffee, Thai Fish Cake, Crab Rangoon, Papaya Salad Lao Style, and Special Combo Pho.They keep the restaurant clean.“
“This truly is authentic Lao Cuisine. I love the chicken and the red pork. If you love spicy papaya salad, ask them for the extra hot, thank me later! My family loves the food here and it's at a price that's not going to break the bank. Family owned and operated, and delicious.“

“Food and atmosphere are great . BUT take them seriously on their heat scale of 1-10. My husband loves spicy food and so he ordered the spiciest, 10!!!! Boy was he sweating like crazy. Lol the next visit he went down to 6... Lol be careful on the heat level.“
“This was a nice discovery, but unfortunately the dining room was under construction and they were only accommodating customers with call in orders. They gave us a menu and were very patient when taking our order, very nice and friendly. we decided on some simple Thai staples, a chicken curry dish that was slightly spicy, pad see ew and spring rolls. I enjoyed the rolls but I wished I would had went with the shrimp variety that they had to offer. They were very fresh and and had a good sauce and ground peanuts. The curry dish was very tasty. Good variety of vegetables in the curry dish, with fresh strips of bell peppers , coconut milk and cilantro and basil for a serving for two. The ambiance of ordering from the back door was strange, I think I would like to give this a second chance when they have completed the dining area that was under construction. The service was good given that the restaurant was under construction. They were helpful and made suggestions. The waitress was very nice and knowledgeable the service was good.“
“Food was very delicious, juicy, fresh and hot. We ordered pad see ew which had amazing flavor. Loved the broccoli and carrots that were in it. The sticky rice was amazing with that light flavor of bamboo and paired with the peanut sauce it was excellent!“
“First time ordering from this place, our normal spot is closed on Monday’s so I just took a shot and I’m glad I did. My family loved it! Even more so than our usual spot.The combo fried rice, DELICIOUS!!!Mongolian beef, DELICIOUS!!!Beef Pho, DELICIOUS!!!Ordered off Uber eats therefore I’m unsure of the atmosphere and service but if it’s anything like the food then you can’t go wrong with this place❤️❤️❤️The portions match the prices ??“
“The food was incredible. We're used to Bay Area anemic portions and toned down flavors; every bite here was like a mouthgasm, from first to last. We had the fresh spring rolls first, which were clearly made fresh to order, twice the size of what I'm used to, and featuring still-warm, perfectly cooked shrimp. The shrimp were flavorful, not cold and boiled-tasting, like the pre-made rolls to which I've grown accustomed. The pork chow fun was delicious, with silky noodles, tender pork and tasty vegetables, all dressed in just the right amount of sauce. However, the star of the show was the stir-fried basil chicken. The intensely flavored sauce coated the minced chicken, bell and jalapeño peppers, and savory mushrooms in earthy goodness; topped with a fried egg and paired with sticky rice, it was the best Southeast Asian dish I've had in a LOOOONNGGGG time.Don't let the strip mall exterior or divey diner interior scare you; bring some people with you and share the large portions so you get to try lots of dishes. You'll be licking the serving spoons when you're too full to continue. Can't wait to go back and try more!“
“I used to love this place. Idk what happened but lately the food has been horrible. Smaller portions, higher prices and flavors off. Our go to was the dragon noodles and pad thai. Dragon noodles were mooshy and pad Thai was a mix of 2 noodles (as if they ran out of actual pad Thai noodles) 2 whole peanuts on top, no green onion and it tasted like chili pepper for chilli.“
