If you’re a fan of Thai cuisine and refreshing beverages, there’s a new spot in town that’s sure to make your taste buds happy. Thai Wok & Café, located at the northeast corner of Shaw & Marks behind Uncle Harry’s Bagels, is the latest addition to Fresno’s wonderful food scene. Offering a mix of traditional Thai dishes, Asian fusion favorites, and a variety of teas and smoothies, this restaurant is likely to become a local favorite, fast.
I recently stopped by Thai Wok & Café for lunch, and it exceeded my expectations. The menu is packed with great options, making it difficult to choose just one dish. However, I couldn’t resist ordering my go-to Thai dish, Pad See Ew with beef, paired with a pork egg roll appetizer. Both were served fresh and piping hot, with generous portions that left me feeling fully satisfied (and with enough left over for lunch for my husband the next day, too – a big win in his book!). The Pad See Ew was flavorful, with perfectly cooked noodles and tender beef, easily rivaling some of the best Thai food I’ve had in any city (and I seek Thai restaurants out whenever I travel because it’s amongst my favorite cuisines to enjoy).
Thai Wok & Café also offers a variety of fruit teas, smoothies, slushies, and milk teas, complete with fun add-ins like popping boba—my personal favorite! On my way out, I grabbed a couple of fruit iced teas for my coworker and me. We both enjoyed the passion fruit and mango iced black teas with strawberry popping boba. The drinks were refreshing, and the cute cups and to-go bags added a literally delightful touch to the experience (really! It was one of the first times in my life I can genuinely say I had the thought “oh this is just delightful!”).
The atmosphere at Thai Wok & Café is another highlight. The restaurant has been freshly remodeled, featuring sleek black booth seating on one side and tables on the other, giving it a modern, clean, and inviting feel. Despite being in their early weeks—they just opened on August 1st—the service was on point, and the food came out quickly. It’s clear that the team at Thai Wok & Café knows what they’re doing, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit.
Whether you’re looking for a quick takeout meal or a full-service dine-in experience, Thai Wok & Café is ready to serve you. I highly recommend stopping by and trying it for yourself. With its convenient location near both my work and home, I know I’ll be a regular!
