Yummy Kitchen — Restaurant in Fresno

Exciting concept dulled by long wait times and mediocre food.

TLTR: Waited way too long for my order while good was good, definitely did not warrant the long wait

I was excited to try this place mainly for the $3 ($3.50) mini Thai boat bowels. I liked the concept of dropping in, getting a quick 1 or 2 bowels of noodles that won't break the bank. Restaurant is located in a small shopping corner, hole in the wall type joint. The place offered 3 tables back to back that can sit 4 adults comfortably per table. The dinning area is dark, not illuminated, other than what light you get coming through the thin curtains that were pulled to cover the windows. There was one family seated at the table waiting for their food. Two other parties followed behind me, I was hoping to dine in, but there was no one to great the customers as we entered, I wasnt sure to take a table first or stand by the counter to order first. I figured it's one of those establishments were youll order first and then take a seat, while I waited at the counter, the two parties behind me took the only two tables left. Not their fault of course, so I was left with no choice but to take my food to go. I stood at the counter for 10mins til the only lady working there, came from the back to take my order. I ordered a plate of sausage and a bowel of the mini thai boat. I went to sit in my car since there was no other place to sit. Waited in my car for another 20mins til my order was ready. I thought it was a ridiculously long wait for food that you can usually walk in and grab to go at most Asian supermarkets. The sausage was good but nothing special, just like any other sausage at any other Asian supermarkets. The Thai boat was good, sweet and sour but was definitely not...

I ended up waiting around 45 minutes for my take out order, and there was only one elder woman who was taking the orders and chef-ing for all of us customers. I grew impatient halfway through my order being prepared, it was so long waiting for a takeout order than I'm used to. But, I recognized the people who were ahead of me were being efficiently served, as they were dining in guests, and were a larger party of about 9-10 people.

All that being said, my chicken larb and papaya salad (Lao style) were made for me exactly as I ordered; spiciest as possible! And I got free sticky rice thrown in.

It is 3 minutes from my home, and I will...

When I say the food was amazing I mean AMAZING!! I am a picky eater so the food being good for me is a surprise. The thai boat was delicious and cheap. The women serving was so kind, it took some time but she is working alone. I would definitely spend my money on this place instead of McDonald’s. The drinks were DELICIOUS there were many VARIETIES that my kids loved. So DELICIOUS...
