Thai Fried Rice Fresno – Wok-Tossed Excellence at UD Thai
Authentic Flavors. High-Heat Cooking. Trusted Choice for Fresno Diners
Across Fresno, fried rice shows up on nearly every Asian menu, but most versions miss the mark completely.
You know what we’re talking about: mushy grains stuck together, bland seasonings, frozen vegetable mix, and that greasy shine from way too much oil. It’s nothing like what this Thai classic should taste like. When you want that smoky char, fluffy, separated grains, and deep, savory flavor, settling for something mediocre is just disappointing.
At UD Thai, we know what authentic Thai Fried Rice needs, and we make it right every single time.
We cook it the traditional way: chilled jasmine rice is tossed in a blazing-hot wok with crisp vegetables, fragrant shallots, and our house sauce blend of oyster sauce, light soy, and just enough sweetness. Every bite has that smoky wok aroma, rich seasonings, and the kind of texture you expect from a real Thai kitchen.
Why Our Thai Fried Rice Stands Out in Fresno
UD Thai brings quality Thai Fried Rice to every part of Fresno. Whether you’re in Old Fig Garden, the Tower District, Woodward Park, near Fresno State, or throughout Clovis and nearby areas, we bring this Thai favorite right to you.
Traditional Cooking Methods
Real Thai Fried Rice needs specific techniques that take time and can’t be rushed. Our kitchen cooks it the way Thai families have for generations. We use jasmine rice that’s been in the fridge overnight because dried grains don’t clump when they hit serious heat. Our woks get way hotter than regular home stoves, which creates that smoky taste called “wok hei” that you can’t fake. Everything goes in at exactly the right time so the flavors build up while keeping the textures just right.
Premium Ingredients Make the Difference
Better ingredients mean better food, plain and simple. We get Thai jasmine rice for its smell and texture. Our proteins are trimmed fresh in our kitchen every day. Vegetables come from local suppliers and we cut them as orders come in. We don’t use those generic bottled sauces; we mix our own seasonings with Golden Mountain sauce, white pepper, and real garlic. This extra effort means every plate tastes bright, clean, and genuinely Thai.
Bringing Thai Street Food Culture to Fresno
In Thailand, fried rice isn’t fancy restaurant food; it’s what people eat for comfort, late at night, or when they want something satisfying and fast. Our kitchen respects that by cooking each order like we’re working at a Bangkok street stall. The sizzle, the smell, how it looks on the plate, all of it matters. Our chefs learned authentic Thai cooking and use those skills on every dish. When you order from UD Thai, you’re getting food that connects to how Thai people actually cook, made here for Fresno.
Make It Your Own
Heat Level Control
Thai food has bold flavors, but the spice should match what you like. Our Thai Fried Rice has a little warmth that works for most people. If you want it totally mild for kids or because you don’t handle spice well, just tell us. If you love real Thai heat, we’ll bump it up with fresh chilies and extra white pepper. The savory-sweet taste stays the same no matter how spicy you go, so it’s always balanced.
Accommodating Special Diets
Everyone eats differently these days, and we can handle most dietary needs without losing the authentic taste. Need gluten-free? We’ll use tamari instead of soy sauce. Vegans can get our Thai Fried Rice made completely plant-based with tofu and no egg. Can’t have shellfish? We’ll leave out the oyster sauce and adjust the other flavors. Watching your sodium? We can dial back the salt. Since we cook each order separately in its own wok, changes like these are easy, and your requests don’t get mixed up.
Choose Your Protein
Thai Fried Rice works great with different proteins, which is part of why people love it. Chicken or pork are the classics that everyone enjoys. Shrimp adds sweetness and feels a little special. Beef is hearty if you’re really hungry. Tofu is perfect for vegetarians and soaks up all those wok flavors. We’ve also got plant-based chicken if you want that familiar texture without meat. Whatever protein you pick works perfectly with the smoky rice and crunchy vegetables that make Khao Pad so good.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Thai Red Curry spicy?
What is the difference between red curry and green curry?
Red curry typically uses dried red chilies, while green curry uses fresh green chilies and herbs. Both are coconut‑based, but their chili and herb blends make them distinct.
Which protein tastes best in red curry?
The best choice depends on your taste. Chicken and tofu are classics that take on curry flavor beautifully. Beef adds richness and body, while shrimp brings a delicate sweetness that pairs well with Thai basil.
