My Wife and I literally stumbled across this restaurant in Clovis (next to Fresno) while heading to Olive Garden, and of course, we skipped OG to try it, and are VERY glad we did! This little restaurant is owned by Native Thai's that stick to real Thai or traditional Thai food, as they know it, and of course, being from Thailand, you know you are getting "the real McCoy"! (some "Thai" Restaurants are not owned or operated by folks from Thailand!)
We had the pleasure of meeting the owner himself, and learned quite a bit about the authentic Thai ways of some dishes, and also his little added touches. The owner, whose name is "Wit", really is serious about FRESH food! My wife is a Vegetarian, and asked for some specific food, and Wit had no problem letting her know, that they can prepare any Vegetarian dish she would like based on food from the menu!
We were very pleased with the restaurant overall, but the food will really surprise you at just how good real, fresh, Thai food can be! :)
We had dinner, drinks, and appetizer for $37! I also want to note, the tempura vegetable appetizer we had was very good, not greasy tasting like I wind up making at home, not sure what the secret is :(
If you want a cool local restaurant, are in the mood for Thai Food, and want the freshest, not to mention best value, in Thai food, this place is for you! You will love the friendly owner, he's a blast, and loves people! :)
We can't wait to go back with our friends and family! :)
Absolutely the best Thai food I have ever tasted, no doubt about it - but the owner talks a little bit too much. One time we were the only customers, and he had a whole lecture on the menu, we sat and listened as we saw the food getting cold in front of us...
Honestly the best Thai food in Fresno. Be warned, you may form addictions to their food. All of their food is cooked fresh and they have fast and friendly service. Their Pad Thai is fantastic, also try their vegetables with their homemade peanut sauce. You will not leave disappointed.

Yea, he does like to talk, but that is good, at least he really cares, we have been to some restaurants in the Fresno area where people just give you a blank stare, and you hope they got the order right ;)
