This Asian restaurant in Fresno is making big changes 8 years after it opened
For an authentic taste of Korea, a plane ticket isn’t needed. Fresno’s Asiana Korean Restaurant , at 90 E Magill Ave, Ste. 101, is just off Blackstone Avenue. It’s been around for 8 years, and owners Zhangjie Jin and his wife Mee Ryung make everything in-house. After eight years in business, they still make changes to the menu, but those changes always come down to two key points: What's popular in Korea, and what’s popular with their existing customer base. So while there are dishes that will never leave the menu, like galbi, bulgogi and japchae, the owners are also introducing a new dish to Fresno, malatang. The dish is a Chinese street food, where, like hot pot, people can select the ingredients they want to include and have those ingredients quick-boiled in a broth. At Asiana, customers can pick which ingredients they want to include from a self-service bar, as well as if they want the dish to be spicy (and what level of spice they might want), as well as if they want it to be a soup or dry. The ingredients are then weighed and paid for, and then Zhangjie takes the ingredients and prepares them. While

This Subway shop in the Central Valley is one of the highest ranked in nation. Here's why
Caruthers is a small town just off the 41, about 15 miles south of downtown Fresno. About 2,600 people live there, according to the 2020 census. It has one of the country’s best-rated Subways. The Subway at 2459 W. Tahoe Ave. has 349 reviews on Google and an average rating of 4.80. SEO Backlinks , a digital public relations and data analysis firm, looked at all Subway restaurants with more than 100 reviews and found that makes the Caruthers location the third-best Subway restaurant in the state and the 10th-best Subway in the country. “Every Subway sells the same menu, so when one of them scores this high across hundreds of reviews, it comes down to the people behind the counter,” said Oliver Weston, the founder of SEO Backlinks, in a press release. The Subway is attached to a Valero gas station and a laundromat. Many of the Caruther Subway’s reviews praised the staff’s customer service, with several people detailing how they’re always greeted with a smile. The best-ranked Subway restaurants in California were: 5070 Rocklin Rd, Rocklin, CA 7930 E Florence Ave, Downey, CA 2459 W Tahoe Ave, Caruthers, CA 21612 Plano Trabuco Rd, Trabuco Canyon, CA 5150 Fair

Why this restaurant's name is confusing people. Tacos El Gordo is now open in Fresno
The name of a new Fresno restaurant is causing some drivers to do a double take when they pass it. Tacos El Gordo opened in late September on Ashlan Avenue, next to Save Mart near Cedar Avenue. But it’s not that Tacos El Gordo. To explain, the Tacos El Gordo many people in central California are familiar with is the one that started in San Diego and has several locations in Las Vegas. One, on the Las Vegas Strip is open until 4 a.m. and has a huge rotating trompo in the window roasting meat for al pastor tacos. “That’s super popular,” customer Deron Walker of Fresno said. “There’s a lot of people (who) know it. It’s a whole experience.” Lines are separated by what meat customers want on their tacos . That’s not what opened in Fresno. Our Tacos El Gordo is a locally owned restaurant named after the owner who got the nickname El Gordo when he was working at all the Toledo’s Mexican Restaurants locations. Cashier Laura Contreras has fielded questions about the name. “We’re not associated with them at all,” she said. “I like to always say we’re better than them. That’s a strong statement, but
