Chef Paul’s Cafe is located in the historical Chinatown district in Downtown Fresno. Interesting neighborhood.
I sense the age of the original buildings and I see some redevelopment going on. I didn’t see any Chinese people and only one Chinese restaurant.
Chef Paul transitioned from a catering business in 2010 to his current storefront. I admired the decor inside.
Menu had an excellent selection of soul food. I ordered the oxtail.
Crinkle cut fries were crispy on the outside and soft in the center. Loved the light fried potato flavor.
Oxtail was tender and had a nice beef flavor. The light brown sauce provided a nice additional flavor. Good portion size. Great tasting dish.
Staff was nice and provided great service. Next time I’m in town I wanna try the fried catfish and fried chicken.

I remember our server was really nice too. Hopefully they will get new business neighbors soon.
We will have to see next year.
did you happen to try Kogetsu-Do Confectionery? They are a few doors over. Most amazing fresh mochi treats and the owner is super friendly and nice. Yes the neighborhood is not the greatest hope the city will continue transformation.
I did not try Kogetsu-Do Confectionery. We will be going to Yosemite/Fresno again next spring so I’ll stop by then. Thanks for the tip!
