Lotus Kitchen

Some may think this is a little hole in the wall place cus the area isn't all that great. Could be bums around and people on drugs but other then that, inside is a treasure hole of delicious authentic Asian goodness. I've tried their seafood boil farmers style and the sauce is on point yall. I love the green onions in it, the spice was just right. The shrimp head on was big, juicy and plump. The crab was meaty and the mussels was a good size. The kao poun nam pa was good but I wasn't a fan of the salt and pepper calamari. Very mid. I've had their Thai pho before too and I actually really like it. It was my first time trying it. I think they said it was a mixture of pho and Thai boat??? I could be wrong so don't quote me on that. Jsut gon ask them. The service was good. She was patient when we ordered and she even chatted with my gramma for a bit. I am most definitely interested in coming back and trying some of the other popular dishes.

The Food is Delicious their shrimp and chicken teriyaki is mouth watering the people in there are so kind great customer service very clean and smells good everytime I walk in

Larb is terrible, worst in fresno. Super dry with zero flavors. Beef pho had barely any meat with only one cut. Pho was super bland. Will never be coming back here. Go next door to Saigon for pho. Hit up laovien for larb!

This is the best teriyaki chicken in Fresno. The flavor is immaculate and the portion size is worth every penny. The food is authentic and I enjoyed the sweet customer service the most. Please go check it out!!

It's not located on the best part of town, but Lotus Kitchen is worth finding for good authentic Thai food. Everything was delicious. I was there with a group of co-workers and everyone had something different and everyone said their dish was great. If you go here, try something different, you won't be sorry.

This was the most authentic pho spot I ever been too! It was so good I'm definitely coming again. Staff was nice, service was 100 % and the thai iced coffee was 10/10.

Growing up in LA area and just in town to visit, my husband and I decided to try this place. I must say I have yet to come across a restaurant that serves such authentic Laos food the way Lotus Kitchen does. We had the beef larb, which was amazing. The meat was tender and flavorful. The herbs mixed in were not only fresh but different compared to what is served in LA area. I loved it. My husband had the Lotus Family Special, the Royal, and nothing was left. He even took home the sauce. Mind you, he's a Boiling Crab fanatic. We got to try the Nam Tok. It's not the same flavor or texture as bo luc lac but very similar only more crispy outside and soft and juicy inside, I recommend trying it. I'm definitely coming back when visiting Fresno area.

February 25, 2025 we ordered the Beef pho and the Thai boat without the pork blood. I would rate these two at about 6.5 to 7 the spring egg rolls maybe six service was excellent, but the food is not worth the trip would I come back no and the reason there was hardly any meat in the beef pho and same for the Thai boat portions are not very big

Food was whatever. Table was dirty. Floor was dirty. They came to wipe the table down with smelly rag. It made it hard for us to eat and smell the lingering in the air.

I gave this place 3 star bc seating was plenty. We ordered the $65 king seafood platter Cajun style, regular beef pho with large noodles and Thai boat noodle. The food was disappointing. The portions were small. The regular pho taste was decent like all other food restaurants. The Thai Boat noodle had too much vinegar, the taste was overwhelming. People were raving about the Thai boat noodle here so I thought I'd give it a try. The seafood platter was not worth $65 but I guess they justified decent enough because they had king crab in it but the portion was small. The Cajun flavor did not come through at all. It tasted like butter with a bit of Cajun and a bunch of water that sauce was not rich, there was no depth in flavors. If you want seafood boil, this is not the place.
