The fish special on Fridays is a Fried salmon over white rice plate and it was sweet and savory. The Fat Choy Burger was a beef patty with a sunny side up egg served with salad and it was also savory. The sesame noodles with chicken was filling and satisfying. The three fish taco with chips were just great. read more

Man this place is straight outta the movies... SEEDY!!! I am still perplexed as to why Fat Choy is housed in some weird ass casino!?!?! PORK BELLY BAO & SHORTRIB GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH ... that's all you need to know. Order those items and bon appetit. BTW, our server was pretty cool... asian gal who did a great job describing our dishes. Just can't remember her name. read more

Fat Choy - Short rib Grilled Cheese!! - New American Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Many people say, "Goong Hee Fat Choy" during Chinese New Year, but do you know what it really means? It's not "Happy New Year"...it's more like "Let's Make A Lot of Money". Therefore, "Fat Choy" is something like Prosperity and Good Luck. And, if you are what you eat, then I want tons of Fat Choy! That's part of the reasoning behind dining at this hole-in-the-wall establishment. The prices are reasonable, the service is EXCELLENT, and the food is really good. Fresh, quality ingredients are used. Example: Wonton Soup. I didn't find any gristle in my wontons! The "pi" wrapper was the good thin type. ..not the cheap, thick style! The water chestnuts were chopped so finely that they were a pleasant texture instead of an obvious big nuisance! The broth had a mild, but complex flavor. ..not a salty assault! Also enjoyed the Peking Duck Bao and the Potstickers with its crisp edges and Ginger Scallion dipping sauce. ..they were yummy! And of course the famous Pork Belly Bao which is marinated overnight and braised to perfection... enough said. Top it off with a very tall and wide but fluffy éclair stuffed to the brim... I couldn't finish so I'm having it right now in my hotel room! I highly recommend a visit here. ..I'll probably go back today for a burger at lunch time! !! Enjoy! read more

I've read the reviews of Fat Choy my friends have posted and I knew this was a must try and I'm glad I did. First of all, my server, Jenny, was an absolute delight. She asked me about being there before and if I had any questions about the menu. She was very helpful and very personable. I was the only customer on this slow Sunday evening, and she had extra time and she spent it checking back with me a chatting. I had looked at the menu online and I opted to try the bao. I've never had Vietnamese bun bao so this was a new experience. I ordered the duck and pork belly bao. The duck bao comes with thinly sliced cucumber pieces, scallion, micro greens, and hoisin sauce. The pork belly bao comes with one side of the pork seared, pickled mustard greens, cilantro, hoisin sauce, and some crushed peanuts. The sandwiches were great! The duck was my favorite because I simply love duck. Jenny had brought me Sriracha and a small plate for putting the Sriracha and then using the plate as a dipping area. It worked quite well! The bun was very tasty. Then the option came for dessert. What's a person to do? Ask Jenny for advice and certainly follow it. I got the peanut butter cup which has a chocolate cookie-like bottom, then a layer of peanut butter mousse (my words), topped by some bits of crispy pieces. I got it à la mode with vanilla ice cream. The peanut butter is excellent. Soft, creamy, and very rich! I'm a fan--big time! The restaurant uses the app Wallet so you can pay without pulling out the plastic and they'll email you a receipt if you want. The only drawback for me was the smell of smoke. The restaurant is open to this small, locals casino and there's a smell of stale smoke as soon as you come in the door from the outside. This permeates the restaurant and detracts from the overall experience. I wish they'd put up some doors after scrubbing the place down and trying to get rid of the smoke smell. But, I will be back. Even though it's a small menu, there are things to try! read more

Who knew that you could find good solid eats inside a small casino off of Sahara on the east/central side of town? The menu and set up is simple - just take an American diner and serve it with good ole Asian eats mixed with just a little Americana. I wish I could easily say that you have to come here and just try the one thing that absolutely rocks but in the end everything is good. From their tacos, to the bao, to the burgers and pot stickers. So I guess what I am saying is come hungry and come more than once. Their bao's are my favorite. No matter which one you order, they have a perfect balance of flavors and textures. Their tacos are mini sized but full and bursting with the flavor. The burger will make your tongue slap the insides of your mouth. (My mouth is watering. I am ready for another visit just writing this review). And something as simple as fries they do just right. Crispy on the outside and nice and fluffy on the inside. My two year old is a picky, picky eater even when it comes to something like fries and we had to sit and wait for him to finish every single last fry. The servers now serve the food and describe to you what you are getting. Or at least on my last visit they did. It's food foreplay. Just tantalizing your taste buds before you take your first bite. I will be back soon. I have got to try their bone marrow and I am sure based on my past two experiences, I will not be disappointed. Maybe I will see you there! P.S. A definite plus I might add is that my first visit they didn't have high chairs, now they do. :) You can bring your kiddos. And I meant to take more pics on our last visit but we just started eating and then it was gone before we knew it :( read more

I guess third time's the charm, right? Tried going to the salon......They were off doing a special function...never got to go back Saw them at the Foodie Fest....They had to close up shop for no hot running water...Darn! Two strikes and counting, but wait......Great Bao has transformed into Fat Choy, and are inside the Eureka Casino....EUREKA CASINO!?!?!?!? Well at least they now have a brick and mortar location, and I know where to find them. After reading all these reviews 3 words seemed evident....FAT CHOY BURGER. So we ordered that medium rare, AKA the ONLY way to enjoy a burger, and oh, lookie here..what's this??? a special, that week only 3 bao and a drink special for $10? SOLD! Choices were Roasted Chicken, Tofu, Pork Belly, Peking Duck, and Soft Shell Crab. Not really in a tofu mood, and having pork belly'd well over 50 times, I'm a sucker for soft shell crab, juicy roasted chicken and perfect peking duck, so we went with those. It was also my first encounter with the dangerously cool freestyle coke machine. With endless combinations imaginable I came up with a Vanilla Root Beer, and Wifey got a Peach Mello Yello(ask Jenny to make you a Gummy Bear!) The Fat Choy Burger did not disappoint and is in my top burgers category. The 3 Bao Special was also great with the crispy skin from the roasted chicken and peking duck, but my favorite bao is the soft shell crab and I would take that over the pork belly any day. Thank you Sheridan and Jenny, your patience and persistence has definitely paid off and I wish you both nothing but continued success! ALOHA!!! read more

Talk about an unexpected but very satisfying stop! Everything we ordered was beautiful and oh so delicious. My mouth still waters at the thought of the pork belly bao. It is a very long way from home but it is a definite must try for anyone visiting Las Vegas. We will be returning in July and this is definitely on the must visit again list. Not to mention the customer service was no less than great.See you soon Fat Choy and thank you for the wonderful service and delicious food! read more

Another place I've had bookmarked for a while is Fat Choy. Located in the Eureka Casino, this place is a hidden gem! Pot Stickers (4/5) Seriously, some of the best pot stickers I've had in this city. Each plate comes with 5 large pot stickers for $6. Unlike many other places, these pot stickers were not soggy at all. They were nice and crispy and full of flavor! Braised Short Ribs (4/5) Check out the pics for the portion size! Very generous portions here! The actual meat its self was very tender and juicy. Our server informed us that the teriyaki sauce is actually made on site. The sauce was tasty, but not overpowering. Very filling portion! Teriyaki Rice (4/5) Again with the large generous portions! The chicken was tender and the rice was cooked perfectly! For the same price as a Teriyaki Madness bowl, you get so much more! You get a much larger portion in addition to a much tastier bowl, IMO. Service (4.5/5) Our server was outstanding! Outgoing, gregarious, and accomodating, she was a gem and we were fortunate to have her help us on our first visit! The only reason it wasn't a perfect 5 was because of a slight lag getting refills, but the other server took care of that as soon as she noticed. Great service! Room (4/5) It's a pretty small space, but with a lot of quirky charm. You really have to check it out!. Plus my friend noticed they have a small little section commemorating Guy Fieri's visit here. ("Hey Look! that fat guy with the white hair was here!") I like this place a lot. Even though the menu is a bit small, the service and food will certainly guarantee I'll be back for multiple visits! 4.5 stars. Yay! I'm a fan. read more

One Star for the awesome team in the Casino; one star for the friendly staff in the restaurant. Unfortunately the food is always mediocre and we've given it TONS on chances. Tonight was, "Sorry we're so slow due to COVID, but we're out of this and that"; weird thought you were super slow. So we ordered wings and grilled cheese with tomato soup. The wings were bone dry, no sauce. Cooked well, but what happened to the sauce. The. The grilled cheese came with fries and NO SOUP. Excuse me, where's the soup...oh no soup tonight. That's half of the meal. We've given this place so many chances, this was it for me. Too many other good places to go to support local especially in this time where businesses are struggling. Won't be back. read more

I have no idea what happened between March 2013, when Niyen wrote his review raving about the Fat Choy burger, and now, but the burger is completely lackluster and worthy of absolutely zero accolades. The patty was cooked to a perfect medium rare, and there was an egg on it, but that's about all I can say- visually, yes, there was short rib, but it didn't have any flavor. The other ingredients mentioned on the menu, bacon and roasted tomato? So sparingly applied that I didn't even detect them. Niyen's original description includes onion jam, and that is now missing from the menu altogether, but that bright bit of acidity would have cut through the fat and added a pop of flavor. As I ate this burger, I was asking myself why I was continuing to eat it. That's how underwhelming it was. The bao aren't noteworthy either, though. Everyone does a pork bao so I opted for the peking duck and the tofu-mushroom versions here. Visually, the tofu-mushroom is already unappealing, with a square sheet of tofu falling out of the bao and minimal stringy mushrooms. Taste wasn't bad, but I wouldn't rave about this to any of my vegetarian friends. And the duck meat on the other bao was dry, accompanying sauce was unremarkable. Everything was very one-note. Service was polite. I'll add that if you sub a salad for your side of fries (with the burger), it's literally a handful of spring mix salad blend: no tomato, no cucumber, nothing else at all added. If using a card, payment is processed through Square (or a similar product/service), and you are presented with a tip percentage page- I'm kicking myself for selecting a $3 tip for absolutely zero service and mediocre food to boot. Never again. read more

Unique menu items, cute little place inside an old casino, quick service. Easy 4 stars. My go to sandwich is the pork belly BLT. Pork on top of more pork. Can you say heart attack? Pork belly is fatty and rich while the bacon is crispy and salty. Explosion of flavor in my mouth. It is on the greasier side, so prepare to use a lot of napkins. I'm glad I have turned a fellow yelper, Tom F. on to this sandwich. The vibe is upbeat, depending on who you go with. The service is fast and friendly, also depending on who you go with or if the restaurant gets crowded. I will return, but only after a few gym sessions to work off this sandwich. Tip: take a deep breath before entering the casino and you can exhale once you enter Fat Choy. The cigarette smoke is pretty strong, unless you want the black lung, then that's cool too. read more

*Cough cough cough* I think I now have emphysema from inhaling all the smoke from the casino while eating at Fat Choy. Why did they pick Eureka Casino? Dumpy old hotel with very poor ventilation. About the food...we got 2 orders of pork belly bao since the duck bao was not available today (boo!), bone marrow and shrimp toast. Pork Belly Bao: For $7 you get 2 pieces of bao. The pork was crunchy but super salty (hello, hypertension!). They could've added more sauce to neutralize the saltiness 3.5/5 Shrimp Toast: $8 gets you a piece of toast with shrimp, Chinese sausage and a fried egg on top. It was good. But not $8 good. You can get shrimp toast at most Chinese restaurants for half the price 3/5 Bone Marrow: $8 of fatty goodness with good onion jam on top. 5/5 I usually don't pay attention to the price when it comes to food. But today I had to. I think Fat Choy is overrated and overpriced for what I get and where I'm getting it from. I can understand paying $8 for shrimp toast if I were in Bellagio or Wynn. I can get 3 pieces of bao from somewhere else for the same price. The concept is great but needs to be improved before I can come back again. Maybe next time, I'll just order food to-go...oh wait, they charge $1 for that! It looks like the next review I'll be doing is for a hospital... read more

Let's be honest. It's not a five star place, but it still does the trick for the most part. I've been wavering with Fat Choy for a while now, and while it's not the best, it's a good restaurant that I'd recommend for pork belly items. Otherwise, the dishes tend to range from OK to pretty good. For example, the Fat Choy burger (which I finally tried last year) doesn't compare to other similarly priced restaurant burgers that I've eaten in Las Vegas, and the rice dishes that I've ordered didn't dazzle my taste buds either. Today, I visited specifically to try some of their lunch specials. The soft shell crab bao ($9) was the first order. While the namesake component was certainly a delicious and crunchy treat (and might-I-add visually impressive), the sauces were uninspired and the ratio skewed toward bready. I can't help but contrast this with the mouthfuls of meat in Chef Sheridan's other creations. I was going to try the BBQ pulled pork sandwich, but instead I went with what turned out to be the last pastrami melt ($10). I hope they didn't skimp because it's definitely not one of those sandwiches piled high with pastrami, or cheese even. The ingredients all tasted great though, and the crunchy bread was essential for texture. The massive side order of fries (included in the price) was pretty good, although I suspect that the broad salt flakes created an uneven seasoning situation. Overall, it's at least a notch below a great sandwich-focused shop that recently reopened in the Arts District. Fat Choy is still a good restaurant to visit from time to time (for pork belly), but it's clear that Jenny and Chef Sheridan have brought a better game with their chicken-centric lunch spot Flock and Fowl just a few blocks away. read more

After parking your car and before entering the Eureka Casino take a deep breath, pinch your nose, and hold it for about 5-10 secs or at least until you take a seat in Fat Choy. The smell of smoke from BBQ is good, the smell of smoke from cigarettes/casino is bad. I never made it to the tiny Great Bao location so this was first experience eating any of the chef's creations. I remember seeing him on TV and enjoyed his story so I felt like I had to try his food. On my 1st time the bad casino smoke did a number on me, my eyes were irritated, I had a bad taste in my mouth, and my nose was stuffed. I sat as far as I could away from the entrance but it still had the smell. I originally went with some short rib dish which was about $14 but then I saw that there some pork belly tacos on a chalk board menu for $7 and had them change it. It was 3 pork belly tacos, slaw, salsa, and fries. I wasn't a fan of any of it, maybe it was the smoke still messing it up. The pork belly pieces were pretty dry and tasted just like cooked unseasoned pork belly. The slaw tasted like the one from KFC which I didn't mine but expected more. The salsa was bad and fries came out almost at the end when I was almost already done. Actually I didn't feel like I would ever be back after this visit. The 2nd time here went better, joined some friends for dinner. I went away from their special chalkboard menu and ordered the fat choy burger. Most of the tables went with their various signature dishes which included the fat choy burger, short rib grilled cheese, bao, etc. The fat choy burger was enjoyable but I wasn't wowed. It was a 1/2 burger, short rib, bacon, a fried egg, and the burger usually ingredients between a bun. You'd think with ingredients like that in a burger it would be a freaking amazing but it wasn't for me. I've had better for the similar price. I think it was about $10. The 3rd time, whenever it happens, will hopefully be the charm lol. I won't try the short rib grilled cheese, don't think I'll like it but not a big grilled cheese fan and it didn't look I'll like it. Maybe I'll stick with their money item the bao, which for some reason I still haven't had even when I've been meaning to try. The only difficult part is I just have to decide on which baos I'm getting. I also have to remind myself to hold my breath while walking through the casino. Their menu and the pictures posted look good. The staff is friendly and the environment is good, besides the smokiness which I heard has gotten better. But for now I have to give them a 3 point something, 3 1/3, 3.33333 with the bar on top Star which is still good, it's Ok and a lot better than that 2 star meh. There's some drawings on the wall, it's not fancy but includes things of their past. Double check for specials either on the wall or social media, I'm sure they'll let you know but just in case they don't. Thinking about it I believe I already been here for a 3rd time but I don't remember it. lol read more

Went here for the 3 for $10 bao special and the fluff ice was an extra added bonus. I enjoyed the 3 baos, duck, pork belly, and the crispy soft shell crab. My favorite was the soft shell crab, so unique with it's soft sweet bao texture, then the light and crisp crunchyness of the soft shell crab. I also tried the Fat Choy burger. It was cooked perfectly medium. The patty is quite thick and beefy with the yummy shredded short rib meat on top of the patty with crispy bacon and a runny fried egg. Perfectly delicious. Also the fries were cooked as an art form! They were skinny fries that were crisp on the outside and nice and buttery on the inside, like eating a fat fry, only it was a skinny fry. This chef really knows how to make fries. Fluff ice guys are only here for a limited time, at the time of this review fluff ice is leaving on 6/23/13 to go back to Cali: Then for dessert I had to have a fluff ice drink with egg pudding. I usually get my fix in california, but hey, if the egg pudding comes to you in vegas, why go to cali? I got the large egg pudding and lychee jelly drink which was a little sweet at first because I didn't mix it. Once you mix it, it is a great balance of sweet and savory. They should team up with Fat Choy and make a Fluff ice with crispy bacon, that sounds good. To adress it being inside the Eureka casino, there is a guard in the parking lot, and the casino really wasn't that smoky on a friday night. Inside the restaurant I couldn't smell any ciggy smoke at all. read more

Fat Choy is a hidden gem of a restaurant located inside the Eureka Casino on Sahara. We have been here a total of three times now, twice dining in and once for a takeout order. The first time I ate here with my husband and friend (she had no idea what to expect but she trust my judgment). You seat yourself I try to get the back booth because the smoke is pretty heavy in the casino, but I've never smelled the smoke in the restaurant itself. We started off by asking the waitress about the soda machine. She pretty much told us that you could get any soda flavor combination you can imagine except for cream soda. Our soda's came out in HUGE 32oz glass beer mugs with free refills. We ordered two servings of "Grandma's Potstickers" My husband and friend ordered the Fat Choy Burger, and I ordered the Sesame Noodles, and Short Rib Grilled Cheese. It takes a while for the potstickers to cook, so be patient. Our waitress served our potstickers and said, i quote "I'm so excited for you to try these!!" They come five to an order, with a side of ponzu sauce with garlic, green onion, and a hint of balsamic vinegar. The first bite just blew my mind. The outside was perfectly pan seared in sesame oil, and great pork filling. By far the best I've ever had! Next the entrees came out shortly after. My husband's and friends Fat Choy burger came out. It comes on a soft bun with perfectly cooked medium rare sirloin beef (if requested), short rib, bacon, cheddar, roasted tomato, and a perfectly cooked sunny side up egg, which my friend commented "It looks like an eye staring at me!". LOL!! It was huge, juicy, and sloppy. One of my husband's favorite burgers. We shared the Sesame Noodles, which came with roasted wild mushrooms, cucumbers, carrots, peanuts, and sesame vinaigrette which had a bite to it with Sriracha. One of my favorite dishes. Very addicting. My friend was saying she didn't like noodles too much but she was sure stuffing them down like nobody's business. LOL!! The Short Rib Grilled Cheese with Onion Jam, Provolone, and Cheddar cheese was good but not my favorite dish on the menu. I will say the Onion Jam was interesting, never had it before. My third time here I tried the PBBLT, with pork belly, bacon, tomato, lettuce, sriracha mayo. Huge portion of pork belly!! Can't wait for my Father-in -law to try this!! My husband and I keep craving this place. We came here the next day for takeout (I would recommend eating it fresh however) The food is top notch for a small establishment. The waitstaff is friendly, the prices are very reasonable for the large portions you get. Till next time Fat Choy!!! read more

Fat Choy, you stole my heart today. A friend told me about this delightful establishment and as any faithful Yelpers would do, I bookmarked the spot. I happened to find myself on the East side of town with a friend and we got our FC on. Fat Choy is located in the Eureka casino. It's a cute little coffee shop tucked in the corner. The place was clean and had bright red, Asian decor in the space. Put waitress was over in a Jiffy. She handed us menus and took our drink order, they have a coca-cola freestyle (a million flavor combos, y'all). My friend and I decided to order a few different things and split them. Our waitress informed us that everything is cooked to order. It takes a bit longer to get the food (nothing excessive), and it's totally worth the wait. Round 1. Grandma's Potstickers and Wonton Soup. The potstickers were fresh and I don't remember the name of the sauce that came with it, but it was divine. Light and with fresh herbs. I can imagine it will go well with just about anything. The wonton soup was also super fresh (you will hear that a lot because it was super, duper fresh). Big pieces of brocoli, thinly sliced carrots, and other yummy veggies, as sprinkled with fresh herbs. A definite must try! Round 2: The Short Rib Grilled Cheese and Duck Bao. May we please have a moment of silence for the Short Rib Grilled Cheese. This is one of the most decadent sandwiches around. Gooey cheese, succulent tender shredded short rib. Mouth-gasms, y'all. I recommend sharing this bad boy, it's very, very rich, but oh so good. The Duck Boa was served in a deconstructed style; instead of being steamed all together in a bun. The bun was steamed and then folded in half, with crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. Delightful, light and filling. I recommend going with a friend and sharing a few items. Everything is reasonable priced (about $6 to $10 per item). I cannot praise Fat Choy enough. Great atmosphere, amazing customer service, and top notch grinds. Fat Choy, I'll be seeing you soon. read more

When my husband pulled into the parking lot, I thought what are we doing here? I had no idea inside the "neighborhood" casino was one the best places to enjoy some very tasteful delights. He had told me about the menu, even showed me pictures of the food, but it wasn't until I took my first bite of their pork belly bao that I knew I was hooked. We knew we had to try the bao and the burgers so we ordered both. When the bao arrived to the table, they both looked so appealing, making my mouth water. The pork belly was a big strip of pork which was decent in size, with a layer of fat and a crispy skin. The cilantro and pickled mustard greens with peanuts pulled it all together. The Peking duck bao was good with a hoisin sauce and cucumbers, but it was the pork belly bao that stood out. We ordered their Fat Choy Burger which made the top 10 burger list, but we asked for the egg over hard, I don't care for runny yolks. The angus beef patty was juicy and cooked to perfection and the braised short ribs were so tender it almost melted in my mouth. I loved the onion jam mixed with the secret sauce, and talk about full strips of bacon, loved it. I was told the bun comes from La Brea Bakery it was so yummy. read more

An Asian themed diner located inside a small casino called Eureka. Very bizarre. I will definitely return for the bao though. For those of you unfamiliar with baos, a bao is a steamed bun with some sort of filling (associated with Chinese cuisine). Tried both the duck and pork belly bao. Delicious! The pork belly was braised perfectly, melt in your mouth tender, and I loved the crispy skin on the duck. I prefer the pork belly bao over the duck bao, but it's all subjective. The short rib grilled cheese was ok, not great. The short rib was on the drier side, and I wasn't a fan of the tomato sauce that came with it. Maybe they could incorporate different cheeses instead of just using cheddar cheese. read more

A bright gem tucked into an otherwise dark space. I almost did a double take when I saw where this restaurant was located - tucked inside the Eureka Casino just on the edge of the commercial center. Its certainly not the nicest part of town (and that is putting it nicely), but in a way this is something that I liked about the space. Its in the heart of the city, and like any city not all of it is pretty and glamorous. Also, rest assured, the parking lot is well lit and there is a good security presence such things go awry. Once inside Fat Choy, it does a decent job establishing its own unique brand outside of the normal casino cafe. The room has personality that matches its menu. Our waitress was nice and had a lot of knowledge about the menu. She recommended the Pork Bao, the duck fried rice, and the special - bone marrow. I happily ordered all three. The Pork Bao, a delicious piece of pork wrapped in dough and smothered in relish and peanuts was something out of food lover's day-dream. The moment I took my first bite I forgot everything about the seedy casino we were sitting in. I was instantly happy with my choice to dine here. And I quickly asked for another order as soon as she could bring it. The duck fried rice was a wonderful mix of rice, perfect duck leg, and salad greens. I ordered it with a fried egg on top, again from the waitresses recommendation. Really good flavors. Lastly, the bone marrow. I'd read you had to order it when it was on special, and I followed direction. It was much better than I though, a half-ox bone cooked well and smoothed in sauce. It comes with a side of fresh toast to spread the marrow on. It was meatier than I expected, with FULL flavor. Surprising and unique. I plan on coming back just for this bright gem. If you want to try something new, brave the location and give this a try. read more

Fat Choy - Pork Bao brilliance. - New American Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Experience: came with a large group of friends. I have been wanting to try this place for a very long time, and finally made it. It was a Thursday night at 6:00. Facility: The restaurant is located in a mediocre casino called Eureka. It looks like an American diner, almost 50's-ish, but at closer inspection, it has some modern Asian influences too. Fairly clean and pretty small. It has booth seating, tables and chairs, and bar stool counter seats. Unfortunately, the smoke from the casino leaked enough into the restaurant to make my hair smell like old smoke when we left. :/ Service: Well, this is hard to say nicely. The service was ok, but our waitress seems a little confused. That's a nice word. Confused. Anyway, she was nice enough, and was awesome at remembering the drinks for refills, which with their 100+ combinations of sodas, that's impressive. Yeah Diet Dr Pepper!!!! Food: I shared everything with my Girl, so we had 3 dishes. Pork Belly Bao - 4/5 - yum! The meat was good and the condiments accented it nicely. The bun was fresh and soft. Duck Bao - 5/5 - This was my fav. I really loved the cucumber topped onto the salty, rich duck. It was so good!! Short rib grilled cheese with fries - 3/5 - this was a good sandwich. The grilled cheese portion was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of crisp to the bread. The filling was shredded shortrib, melted with cheese and topped with an onion jam. I did get a few pieces of onion peel that were inedible, but it did add some sweetness to the sandwich. There was a side of tomato jam that more resembled marinara sauce. I used it for my fries. Fries were average tasting, but they are hot and fresh. Overall: This was a good restaurant. I would come back again with friends. I will make sure I have nothing to do after a because of the smokey hair and clothes. But the Bao is yum!! read more

First off the welcome was warm and heartfelt,the staff was amazing to say the least it being my first experience there.the ambiance was nice..the waiter recommended the prime rib grilled cheese with the homemade onion jam which was to die for if I do say so the prime rib was cooked to perfection and the onion jam just complimented the prime rib the fries were hot and fresh and I added a side of house cole slaw I give the entire experience a perfect 10..keep up the good work read more

Exceptional baos!! The flavor of the slow braised pork is definitely something that they have locked down. I also really enjoyed the duck bao. The crispness of the duck in the soft bun is a great combination. Their other "diner" type food were alright, a little ambitious and quite over-priced. But they do most certainly excel at the bao. read more

Fat Choy was alright. Great for food truck standards, okay for being a restaurant. Overall, it's a Fat No Thanks for me. First thing: if you have asthma or sensitive to cigarette smoke, probably eat elsewhere. It'll stick to your clothes, and even make the food taste a bit like cigarettes. If you read the other Yelp reviews where the manager replied about this issue, they don't really seem to care. It doesn't look too impressive decor/atmosphere wise. The classic American burger/shakes furniture with some Asian decor slapped on makes for an attempt at being an Asian-American vibe. Food was a little slow to come out even though there weren't that many people. But that's okay, it allowed my clothes to be even more infused with cigarette smoke. I got the Fat Choy burger which had the beef patty (duh), a sunnyside up egg (my favorite thing on burgers), short rib, and bacon. It also supposedly had onion jam which I didn't taste at all, unfortunately. A lot was going on in the burger. The four meats tasted like they were fighting for my attention as each would overcome the other with each bite. One bite would be bacony goodness, another with nice medium rare beef, and another with crunchy and delicious gooey egg goodness. If I was wearing a blindfold, I wouldn't have known it had short rib though to be honest. Everything was really good individually but just didn't work out together. It's like trying to make a pop group but each member is known for being a soloist. The fries were the typical straw fries you'd find in many diners. Not much to say about those. For the price, I expected something different. Service was just okay. You'll get the bare minimum amount of service. The people who work there are really nice though. They use a square for taking your payment, and the tip options start at 18%, so be sure to check the options carefully if you prefer putting in custom amounts. Overall, between here and In N' Out, I would've gone to In N' Out instead. read more

Fat Choy is another promising restaurant from Sheridan Su but at least with this first visit, I'm not sure I was totally sold on the concept or the food. The restaurant itself is a weird mish mash of items from a really classic diner feel mixed with some food truck trappings. Perhaps it was the location itself (the Eureka Casino) that also didn't help - Fat Choy is tucked away near the front entrance's left corner, but the really smoky interior and odd smells make for an odd first impression. Menu-wise, there's a mix of diner and Chinese food here from breakfast to late dinner. There's also some beer and wine options available with some dessert as well. I opted for the Fat Buddha beer and the short rib rice bowl. The beer was about $5 and the bowl was about $14. The bowl came with the short rib, some mixed greens (with a choice of sauce), rice and a choice of an added egg for extra. There's another sauce mixed in here as well which probably had the best impression - being tangy and a little sour. The rest of the dish however was just okay. The short rib tasted a little off to me for some reason (not that tender) and the bowl dish from the rice to the salad were fairly bland. The egg helped the most and I wish I mixed the yolk in more with the rice for instance to make for a better dish. Service was also a little hit-or-miss for me. I waited in the front for about 10 minutes before being helped (didn't see any staff) although after being seated, service seemed to be smoother with a shorter wait on food. I'm totally wiling to give the restaurant another try (after trying the really delightful Flock & Fowl) but at least the first go-around was a little ho-hum. read more

Fat Choy - New American Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Tasty Asian fusion food. Nice service. Casual and local feeling. Banana cheesecake was great.

The restaurant is located inside the Eureka Casino. The ambiance is pleasant and inviting. It was quiet when we arrived and remained quiet throughout our meal. The decor is nice and everything was very clean. We had two orders of the sesame noodles, 1 order of the potstickers (it comes with 5), and braised short ribs & rice which comes with a balsamic salad. The portions were perfectly sized, the food tasted fresh and well seasoned, and even with a fairly limited menu, there were plenty of options. They even have a great selection of beer and wine in addition to standard beverages (soda, coffee, water). The service was excellent. Our waitress was very friendly, attentive, and thoughtful. I've had their food before but only by delivery. Dining in was an excellent experience and I would definitely recommend this location to anyone. read more

Service was good, our waitress was friendly and attentive. The food was disappointing, the Fat Choy combo was not hot, the rice was partially dry and hard. The pork chop was stale and dry with just sauce smothered on it. The short ribs were okay. The chicken was boring. The pork belly bao would have been better if it was hot and the bao steamed properly, still edible. read more

My besties and I LOVE Fat Choy. The food is always AMAZINg and so is the service. It's almost what is better the food, Trevor, or Zach being the best servers we have encountered in a very long time. Those two gentleman are always professional, polite, and fun. We couldn't ask for better service. Everything on the menu they have recommended to us has been stellar. Can't beat the steak and egg special. I love the fried rice and the pot stickers are fantastic. We will be back sooner than later and can't wait to return to a place that makes you feel cared for, welcomed, and we always leave full. Thanks GUYS you are all amazing Oh and the chef is fantastic too. read more

Fat Choy - Pork Belly Bao - New American Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

BEST PORK BELLY BAOS EVER!!!!!!! This nice little restaurant joint is located inside the Eureka Casino, which is off the Strip. I highly recommend their Pork Belly Baos. You can get two for $7. Kind of pricey, but well worth your trip and money! The meats are marinated the night before, and the flavor just explodes in your mouth. It's succulent and delicious! Also, there's Peking Duck Baos available too. They taste just as great, however the real stars of the show are the Pork Belly Baos! This place can get busy, but luckily we got there right when it opened. The servers were friendly and professional. :) read more

Our tofu bao was cold, bbq ribs were raw & food took about 40 minutes to arrive while the restaurant was relatively empty. Shady location too. Staff was very polite and friendly. read more

Surprisingly a good hole in the wall establishment. The food tasted great and the service was quick and easy. My only complaint would have to be the space given for seating. If a large party comes in for dinner, expect them to take more than 75% of the seating up. read more

Pork belly Bau and the short rib grilled cheese was a great choice. Great service. Nice prices.

So much flavor! We can't wait to return again. The Bao Buns were our favorite! Best we've ever had. Flavors were amazing. The wait was a little long and prices were a little on the higher side. I had the salmon tacos which were amazing, but really tiny. My bf had the Fat Choy burger which he rated 10/10! read more

Fat Choy - Bao - New American Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I didn't realize that this place hasn't officially opened. According to the staff, its still considered a soft opening. Located inside a smoky casino is Fat Choy. I knew nothing about this place, except it's the brick n mortar to the food truck @GreatBaoLV. Overall, good comfort food. Portions are sharable, but not huge. Free wifi, but a tiny place, so I'm sure once this place gets buzzing, it'll be food to go for many. Its better than a 3 star, but not quite a 4. If it wasn't in such a smoke filled casino, I'd go back. read more

Five star for great food and wonderful service...the waitress was very attentive and a wealth of information about the menu. I had the Pork Belly Bao and the Short Rib Grilled Cheese Sandwich. This was my first pork belly experience and the flavors were great, the rich sauce and peanut flavor added a nice taste. The Short Rib Grilled Cheese Sandwich was very tender as well. read more
