Lotus Kitchen - Fresno

If you like the smokey favor from burned food, that this is your place.Food: 2/5

The food is ok and service was ok but I ordered pho to go and they didn’t pack me any meat with it. I didn’t know til I got home. So if you order pho to go definitely check your bag before leaving.Food: 4/5

Every place has their favorite and best meal. I personally love their Thai boat. I'll come back for it, better than Mr. Papaya since Mr. Papaya changed ownership. Papaya is not the best, and I wouldn't get it again. Pad thai was a bomb, and I love it. Pho was good, my nephew loved it. Garlic butter noodle was okay but not worth it.Food: 4/5

Kapoon Nampa was very yummy and had a good spice to it! The papaya salad was good but the porkrind was the high light for me!Food: 4/5

Thought I give this place a try. It definitely got a makeover from the inside from its last owner. Looks nice and clean inside. Menu was nice simple and organized. One page front and back. Price was typical average rage. Weather was good for a bowl of pho and my favorite calamari. Unfortunately food wasn't to my liking. The pho noodle was a little like chalky mush taste which is pretty much like old noodles. The beef broth was ok with a little side ingredients added in. Calamari was bland with a chalky batter taste to it. Looks like MSG seasoning on it. Portion was small for the price. Overall for the two dishes I paid a little too much for what it's worth. The service was good and fast since it wasn't busy. A little disappointed with the out come.
