A few of the names will be familiar to Fresno diners. Others are brand new. Here’s a rundown of where to eat the next time you’re up there — or the next time hunger alone is reason enough to go.

Has Mike’s Grill changed? 17 years on, Fresno’s tri-tip sandwich master says no.
One of Fresno’s best sandwiches comes from one of its smallest restaurants. That was just one discovery from our recent search for the best tri-tip sandwich in Fresno. Mike’s Grill on Cedar just south of Herndon occupies a 150-square-foot kiosk that looks like a former Fotomat, and actually began as a Lehman’s Lock and Safe (and later became a Cingular Wireless). But for 17 years, they’ve been serving what some may consider Fresno’s best tri-tip sandwich.

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
