Bleccccccccchhhhh! Everyone and their grandma has been raving about this place, so I thought I'd better go check it out. I've been wanting to check out the Eureka Casino anyway....one of those solidly un-pretentious little locals' dumps that will doubtlessly be imploded any day now. Well, after having checked it out...IMPLODE AWAY, I SAY! Everything in this restaurant is coated in/soaked in/bathed in/wallowing in grease. My friend and I shared the pot stickers as an appetizer -- they were OK, although also glistening with gratuitous grease. As far as pot stickers go...they were like any other potstickers. Except greasier. All the better to slide down your gullet, I guess. Next, I had the much-ballyhooed Short Ribs Grilled Cheese. BLEECCCHHHHH doesn't even begin to describe this monstrosity! I thought the pot stickers were greasy -- this beast was OFF THE CHAIN GREASY! It was like eating a heavily-salted Jheri curl sandwich!! I don't like wasting food, so I managed to choke down half of it before giving up -- but it was G.R.O.S.S. It was SO salty it was almost like they were trying to cover something up. Also, the grease had a weird sort of stale aftertaste, like they use the same fry oil over and over. YUCK! The fries that accompanied the sandwich were similarly greasy. I know, I know, French fries are called FRIES because they are FRIED -- but these were ridiculous. I've had better fries in the employee dining room at Caesars Palace! The fry grease had the same gross aftertaste as the sandwich, which totally killed whatever was left of my appetite. Now, you might chalk all of this up to my being a veggie-eating commie bastard -- but guess what? My friend, who is most definitely NOT a veggie-eating commie, had the Fat Choy burger...and was similarly grossed out. He reported that it, too, was astonishingly greasy -- although he did finish the whole thing, so it couldn't have been THAT bad. You might blame me for not having ordered something less greasy than a grilled cheese -- but the menu is extremely limited here (one page only), and since I don't like duck or pork, I didn't want to get the highly-touted bao or any of the rice dishes. I'm willing to bet they are just as greasy, anyway :-/ In fact, there wasn't much of anything on the menu that grew out of the ground -- it was all lard, grease, carbs and meat. What really sucks is, I came in here fully expecting to adore the place -- being as it's located in such a solidly unpretentious dive. Speaking of which..... After I gave up on eating, and had sopped the grease off my face with no fewer than thirty napkins, I went out into the casino to have a drink at the bar, thinking I could salvage the evening with a little people-watching and a rum & coke to cut through the grease still coating my tongue. But even that went sadly awry. First of all, it's a cash-only bar, and I didn't have any on me. So I had to get raped by the corner ATM, and pay a $5 surcharge...which brought the cost of my drink up to Strip prices anyway. If I'm paying Strip prices, dammit, I want to at least be able to ogle drunk bitches with fake tits, etc. But all I got was a depressing, smoke-filled room full of methheads, with Kenny Loggins playing somewhere in the background. That kind of ambiance is OK if you're in a certain mood.... ...but when you're already on the verge of vomiting, it ain't no fun! I finished my drink and got the fuck out of there, probably never to return. I never thought I'd say this, but...there are some places that DESERVE to be imploded. You hear that, Tony Hsieh?!! Blow this bitch sky-high and have at it -- even an elitist members-only dog park would be better than THIS!!! read more

Our first Sunday brunch at Fat Choy! Mom paid us a surprise visit, so took her and the kid to Eureka. Have been looking forward all week to getting the Fat Benedict. WARNING: this dish may shoot your blood pressure through the roof! It did not disappoint - satisfied both my craving and raised my bp by at least 20 points! Veruka learned her lesson well since we last went out - she decided that, from now on, she's going to order whatever I order. The Tofu and Mushroom Bao was pretty tasty. The kid got the Kalbi Steak and Eggs. The order was pretty large, so he ended up taking home leftovers. Cool, no need to cook tonite! Our waitress, Michelle, was new there. She did a good job of serving us and keeping our drinks full, and also put that 100-flavor soda machine to good use. Her and the other lady that was working behind the counter said that it was the first time they made a real suicide soda. The only drawback to that is that the kid is going to be wired until 3 o'clock in the morning! I forced myself to get dessert, and went for the Red Velvet cake. Sweet dreams! I ate so much that I won't need to eat anything else until breakfast time tomorrow! read more

Fat Choy has excellent excellent food and great service. See Shauna and Tanya, they are wonderful.

Everytime, I go to Vegas, I always try to make a trip to Fat Choy and get their Peking Duck Bao and Soft shell crab bao if it's in season. If you haven't been there, it's inside Eureka Casino. From the entrance, you have to go through the casino to get to the restaurant. read more

I am most conflicted. I have met Sheridan Su and he is a great guy. But the restaurant Chris and Joseph went to recently was nowhere close to the restaurant I ate at. Hey it's great to have friends write puff reviews but in the long term it truly does Sheridan a disservice. First, the good- the Pot Stickers. Yes, they were good and tasty. But once the order was placed they took 30 minutes to come out and there were only a handful of people in the restaurant. Plus I saw Sheridan AND another cook in the kitchen. Does this neighborhood really support five small Pot Stickers selling for seven bucks? This is my major beef with Fat Choy, there is a total disconnect with the menu and the neighborhood. Examples: They open for breakfast at 8am...this is a working class area...the working class is at work at 8am...also, pancakes and eggs sell for eight bucks...again maybe that works but not here. How about a breakfast special to draw people in...this is not Robuchon's... Back to the meal. I ordered beer and I believe they brought me something close to a 40oz...I laughed...largest bottled beer I have ever had with dinner...who came up with that... Pork Belly BLT....I was excited to try this, unfortunately the pork belly was more like bacon bits...there were hardly any there...I asked for extra sriracha mayo and there was not enough to even taste...and the bread was totally soaked in grill grease...absolutely brutal execution... Please understand I want nothing but success for Sheridan. But I have never walked out of a restaurant feeling the owner had such a disconnect with concept and presentation as what Sheridan has done with Fat Choy. An intervention is needed without which Fat Choy will be gone by June. read more

Over a year and a half passed between my first and second visit to Fat Choy. I don't know why I waited so long to return. The duck and pork belly bao are always a hit, but there are other items just as worthy of being ordered. The short rib rice dish is comprised of two large chunks of boneless beef sitting atop the fluffiest rice imaginable. No knives are needed. The beef easily falls apart with the slightest poke. If you need a little grease, the short rib grilled cheese is the way to go. Plenty of beef fill this sandwich along with an onion jam and provolone and cheddar cheese. The acidity of the tomato dip puts this dish over the top. For more subtle, but equally excellent flavors, "Grandma's potstickers" delivers. The crispy seared bottom to the dumplings serve as a sign of quality before cutting into the pork and green onion mixture within. The location (inside the Eureka casino) may not be the best, but the food is well worth the visit through the smokey environment. 4.5 Stars read more

Fat Choy! Love this place! From the rib grilled cheese sandwich to your waitresses.. best place to eat and chill and enjoy some beers!!

I've always respected and admired the Lee family - but when I learned of their partnership with Sheridan, I've decided they deserve more kudos. This move was brilliant, clever and incredibly savvy since it has the ability to bring an entirely new generation of customers into the property who've never darkened the door - possibly never even considered it before. Sheridan's food deserves lots more recognition. He's hardworking and committed and I love that -- I also like that it's a family affair. While Sheridan's locations aren't the traditional mainstream -- from beauty shop to smoky casino floor, it's still a tremendous opportunity for him and we wish him all the best because his food is truly made with love and care. I think this would be a great location for a Yelp event -- Misty? Gung Hay Fat Choy! read more

Items selected: Shrimp Toast - Chinese Sausage, Herbs, Sriracha Mayo, Fried Egg Duck Bao - Cucumber, Scallion, Hoisin Chicken and Waffles - 5pc Buttermilk Chicken Wings, Waffles, Butter, Syrup Nutella Roti - Malaysian Style Pancake, Nutella, Mascarpone, Toasted Walnuts, Honey Beginning as a food truck called 'Great Bao' before migrating to the unexpected environs of the Eureka Hotel Fat Choy had been getting a lot of press preceding my trip to Las Vegas and with an all day Sunday brunch menu I decided to pay Sheridan Su's Asian Fusion spot a visit for some early evening dining; second hand smoke be damned, anyplace serving bao, roti, and waffles on the same menu warranted my attention. Located in the corner of a space best defined as 'questionable' and more appropriately 'seedy' I was admittedly impressed at how separated Fat Choy seemed from the casino and how well the smoke from the slots was excluded from the dining experience and after getting past these issues I was even happier to find the service aspects of the restaurant far better than the typical "Chinese restaurant" and actually on par with many high end places on the strip. With a small crowd of varying ages and ethnicities I made a simple inquiry about the shrimp toast (not typically on the brunch menu) and was assured the chef would be happy to prepare it and although each dish I ordered was good the funky sausage juxtaposing shrimp and tinged with spicy mayo all melded together with a fried egg was undoubtedly the 'must try' dish of the meal. Opting next for a crunchy waffle topped with somewhat mundane chicken and a bit of Sriracha spiked syrup alongside the signature Duck Bao - a great rendition with pillowy bread, crisp skin, and snappy pickles all playing for center stage - I think it is safe to say that sticking with less "American" food is in one's best interest, though the fusion focused crisp roti topped nutella, rich mascarpone, smoky walnuts, and ample honey makes me think that perhaps something like a Korean style chicken and waffles could be just the right thing to add to the menu. read more

Oh boy, this place could be trouble, in such a good way. I normally look at new restaurants that have a good rating on here with a little bit of pessimism, friends and family padding the rating. But yeah it's the real deal, amazingly good food at a great price. Pork Belly Bao, very nicely done, it could of done with just a touch more cooking time, just to bring out the flavors in the pork belly, but that may well be a personal thing. Shortrib grilled cheese.....This may well go down as an all time great, seriously, if you can't decide what to eat, just get this. Fat Choy burger, another great dish, the egg cooked to perfection, the burger cooked as ordered (an amazingly rare thing in Vegas), the short rib added a nice taste to the burger. Tirimisu cake, mmm not sure it should really be called tirimisu, it's more of a cake with a coffee flavored cream topping. Red Velvet cake, wife loved it. The service was excellent, drinks refilled quickly. Negatives, only one, those darn frozen french fries show up again, seriously, can understand where it may be easier, but fresh, home made fries are so much better and really, a chef of this talent as much as he may not like having fries on the menu, could do so much with them. Anyways, we will be back, many times. read more

One of the hottest restaurants around is located within Eureka Casino on East Sahara. Before Fat Choy, Chef Sheridan Su (former executive chef at Comme Ca) was serving Great Bao in the most unlikely place; a nail salon. I never tried it back then because I have an aversion to the smell. Dining with salon fumes never seemed appetizing in the least bit. I never tracked down the food truck, and it's taken me sometime to travel to the eastside, but I've finally done it. The Eureka Casino was nicer than I expected and I had heard interesting characters patronize the casino. However, on Sunday afternoon it was clean, quiet and no characters in sight. Not sure what it says about me, but I felt right at home. We strolled back to Fat Choy and took a seat. The waitress brought over menus; they had a limited selection and no rice or noodle dishes. We selected the duck bao ($7), and the tofu mushroom bao ($6) after she suggested it over the pork belly ($7). We also ordered the short rib grilled cheese ($10) and the nutella roti ($6) for dessert. We chose a plain old diet coke and diet dr. pepper from their new soda machine with dozens of flavors. Our bao came out first. Duck and pork belly were brought out. The order was wrong, but we stuck with it. The buns are steamed to perfection. The pork belly was fantastic, the fat rendered perfectly so it was rich, tender and filled with that wonderful pork flavor. I loved the freshness from the cilantro and greens, and the texture of the crushed peanuts. This was indeed great bao. The duck was delicious too. The hoisin sauce was light and didn't overwhelm the duck at all. Now, I'm curious how the mushroom and tofu bao would be. Tasty, I'm sure. The short rib grilled cheese comes with provolone and cheddar, onion jam and a side of marinara sauce. I'm a purist when it comes to grilled cheese; I'd prefer it with only one type of cheese. I thought the two cheeses made it a bit greasy, the sourdough bread grilled beautifully and the short rib was tender and flavorful with the onion jam. The marinara was thick from the tomato paste. Again, not my preference, but still all the components make and enjoyable sandwich. My husband liked it just fine. My tastebuds just didn't concur. There was nothing notable about the fries. The Nutella Roti had me intrigued, nutella, mascarpone, honey and walnuts on roti... what's not to love? The wait, as it turns out. We waited and waited and waited. We would've cancelled had our waitress been around. She conveniently disappeared. We waited and waited some more. It was ridiculous. We asked the other waitress and she said it would be right up. We waited and waited. Finally, the pancake topped with goo was brought to the table. The pancake was incredibly greasy, aside from that the flavors were pretty good, but definitely not worth the wait. I could be more forgiving if it were busy, but we were one of three tables. I'd hope they weren't that far in the weeds with seven diners. Our patience wore thin; we refused to be held hostage for our bill so my husband went to the counter to take care of it. The eats are pretty darn tasty. I'd return for more bao and I'd love to try the duck rice and potstickers. I certainly hope service will be improved. read more

Man, this is living. It was Sunday. I hardly ever eat breakfast but for some reason I was craving protein. I remembered that Sheridan at Fat Choy had a great kalbi steak and eggs dish. So I drove over and ordered it. It was the best Sunday I've had in months . The beef was gorgeously grilled and flavorful. The eggs were the perfect compliment. The dish comes with potatoes, toast or salad; I had salad. Along with a pot of delicious green tea. I was in heaven. Fat Choy is unquestionably one of the great gifts on the local restaurant scene; Sheridan is an artist who uses only the best ingredients on his culinary canvases. Anyone who loves food and sees it more as a consumable art than as a mundane necessity, should journey to the Temple of Fat Choy. read more

Heard about the chef when he was doing Great Bao, unfortunately I didn't have a chance to try it out.. so was elated when I heard he opened a place inside the Eureka Hotel. So many options on the menu, many that if you have never tried, here's a great chance to do so Enjoyed a late lunch of Peking Duck Bao and Won Ton soup. .. Both recommended by their friendly staff. The Peking Duck Bao, was deliciously cooked duck on a soft bao with cucumbers and greens and hoison sauce. Only downfall, maybe a bit too much hoison, but better to have more than less. The Won Ton Soup, some of the best I have ever had.. a delicious broth filled with vegetables and lots of pork & shrimp filled wontons.. This is a great find in an unlikely place.. Excited to go back again and experience another great dish! read more

Four words, Four syllables...... SOFT-SHELL CRAB BAO! Now, normally that's all I would need to say concerning this matter and just walk off leaving this review just like that. But, it bears emphasizing that not only did Tom create one of the most unique sandwiches I have ever eaten, but he also created an experience that I never had before. The lovely Emily, the server, who very promptly greeted me upon entrance to Fat Choy located inside near the back of the Eureka Casino made sure I had a nice seat at the bar and there my feast began. I actually came in here to grab one of the legendary Pork Bao sandwiches along with an order of the Short Rib Grilled Cheese sandwiches to go. But, my entire plan got spun around when Emily suggested that I atleast try Tom's tender, delicately crunchy, and generously meaty Soft-shelled crab creation. Yes. You heard that right. It was a perfectly cooked SS crab stuffed mercilessly inside a freshly steamed bao bun. And baby, it was out of this world! Easily the best 8 BUCKS spent on a sandwich that could probably sell for 10-12 on the Strip. Say what you want about the neighborhood, the casino, and the 'decor', but......these people sure can cook at Fat Choy! A must try if you are visiting Las Vegas. We locals already know the deal. The lines easily go out the door on Sundays for Brunch. Ask for Emily, tell her Bryant sent you! read more

HIDDEN GEM ALERT!!! So one day I was looking through Yelp and stumbled upon this place of super good reviews and thought, why haven't I heard of this place before?! I absolutely love and sort of Asian fusion so I got super excited as I read through the reviews and looked at the photos - I bookmarked it right away and told my bf we were coming here for dinner! We followed the directions and winded up at such a random location - Eureka Casino (a stand alone casino in a not so great part of town) hahahah. But we were like we gotta see what this hype is about!!! So we went into this small casino and there it was, Fay Choy. It looked like an old, diner-style restaurant with old school diner booths. Interesting ambiance to say the least. Anyway, the waitress handed us menus and we could decide what to get cos there was so much I wanted to try. We ended up getting an order of the Pork Belly Bao (YUM) ugh so nommy. The bao was perfectly made. Some restaurants mess up and make the bao a little too dry, or flaky, but here it was perfect! We also got the Braised Short Rib Grilled Cheese..... Omg my love for grilled sandwiches got even stronger after this one!! I mean, I LOVE short rib and I LOVE grilled cheese so when I saw this as one thing I had to get it!! My boyfriend got the Fat Choy burger, this was good too but not the bessst burger in town, still good tho! Our experience was great, service was awesome. Definitely will be coming back to try more!! Don't be intimidated by its location! read more

When they first opened the service was on point and staff was very knowledgable. Nowadays it seems like your experience is dependent on who serves you. Seems like they are consistently understaffed. They have the Coke machine with a million flavors but are always out of classic flavors, what's up with that? Mainly only come here for the burgers since they're delicious and a great value. The ranch is bomb as well. I like the bao, but anything else I try is not to my liking. Fat Choy started out strong, the experience is just inconsistent now. But I definitely bring my friends here because it is worth it to give it a try. read more

I had lunch here with a friend. We ordered short rib grilled cheese and teriyaki chicken rice and shared them. Both dishes were FANTASTIC! We also shared a red velvet cake dessert that was delicious. Our lunch was at 11am, and we had no issues with smoke drifting in from the casino area. Not sure if it gets worse later on, or if that problem has been rectified. There were 4 other tables of diners and our service was also excellent. I highly recommend this tiny little restaurant! read more

I mean, it wasn't bad. It just wasn't anything more than OK. From the wonton soup, to the bao, noodles and everything in between -- I tried it all (except the american fare). Every single dish left A LOT to be desired. Add to that the location and you've got a losing combination. Won't be back simply because there are far better options... think China Mama!!! Avoid the short rib fried rice at all costs. The beef was tough, and the rice, well, it was just white rice. Not fried at all. The best thing I tried was the short rib grilled cheese on sourdough. The short rib was better in this dish because it had been shredded. Points for service! Our waitress was great. But the kitchen incredibly slow. And there were only a couple other tables occupied. Can't imagine how backed up this place gets at capacity. read more

I was surprised to discover this place is located in a casino. But I don't live in Vegas. My sis, who does live there, is a fan of their baos (I find always find it funny to hear white people say "bao"), and since Fat Choy was listed as one of the 38 must-go restaurants in Vegas by some website, she took me there on my recent visit. We had the duck bao, pork belly bao, and short rib rice. Both baos were delicious. However, I'm from the Bay Area where we have constant access to Chinatown so bao is not a unique thing. You can't really ever go wrong with roast duck, so while the duck bao was great, it was no better than any other duck bao I've had throughout my life. A generous piece of delicious boneless duck in a steamed chinese bun with a bit of greens, drizzled with hoisin sauce. Yummy but for $7 for 2 pcs, the price was kinda ouch. I can get half a roasted duck at a chinese bbq restaurant for less than that. Still, for the non-Asians in Vegas, I can understand the hype if you've never had something like this. And I do definitely recommend trying it if you never have. I was more impressed with pork belly, but that's only because that's rarer where I come from. It was done so well. Exactly what pork belly should be and far superior to the pork belly dishes I've had at higher-end trendy Asian fusion restaurants. The short rib rice was great as well. I wouldn't call it generous but it was enough. The short ribs were incredibly tender and seasoned wonderfully. I was afraid it would taste like nothing more than pot roast (which we make at home all the time in the crock pot and which similar beef entrees at a lot of restaurants end up tasting like even though they call it fancier names). But the ribs surpassed my expectations. Came over white rice with a side of salad (with the fancy greens--not the cheap lettuce) and some chopped pickled mustard. That pickled mustard added a lot to the dish for both my sister and me. If you're not familiar with it, I'm not sure that you'd really appreciate it though. I honestly don't know that I would go back myself because, as I said, I have access to similar types of food here in the Bay Area and at much cheaper prices. But I might if I lived in Vegas. One downside is that since it's in a casino, you can smell the cigarette smoke if you're sitting close to the entrance, and it can be pretty bad. I am so glad California is more prissy about smoking. The service was really friendly. Both servers were sweet. Another yelper said there is a mandatory 15% tip, but I don't think that's true. When you pay on their tablet credit card swiper, there is a button you can press to add 15%, 20%, or 25% tip, but you don't HAVE to press any of them. They also had a nice selection of dessert, including root beer floats! I bought a red velvet cake home for my white boyfriend. I didn't try it but he liked it. He said it wasn't as sweet as other velvet cakes he's had. read more

Now I was pretty hesitant over my husband's "please can we go it's good look at all the pictures" request to eat here. It was in some casino we thought had shut down long ago, and when we pulled up I wasn't sure if the entire spot was the restaurant, or if the tiny building actually housed a restaurant AND 200 slot machines lol. HOWEVER - hubby gets major points for this gem of an eatery. That pork belly bao was like nothing - NOTHING - before. I've had great pork belly on its own. I've concocted my own bao's when we ate out. But this - with veggies on it? Did I eat that whole thing? You betcha bao I did. Even hubby was surprised. You MUST get. I think I convinced him enough to try the duck with me the next time we go. I love that the server explains the food to you as its served - it definitely adds to the experience. The burger was delicious and the grilled cheese with short rib was just the right amount (we both even used the tomato dip ... crazy!). But the BAO is WOW. (Sorry, too cheesy!) Great service. Sounded like they had good desserts, but we were too stuffed. Also, bonus for having the coke machine with a thousand gazillion (I may be wrong in the math) combos - why can't all restaurants have this? It's a small perk! Gahhh, let me go search my players cards for discounted rooms - I don't want to wait too long before grubbing here again! Other things: - Not too much seating, but that wasn't an issue when we were here - Park in the back - TV's so you can watch the game while you eat read more

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

I can't figure out what the mystique of this restaurant is and why are all these reviewers swooning over it. The waitress was sweet, there was zero wait on Saturday at 10pm, it has a cute look of a 50's diner with a few Chinese decor accents. And the fries were tasty. That's about it. The food is heavy, fatty and greasy. Most of the flavor seemed to come from fat. Pork belly bao, to be fair, should be exactly that- fatty pork belly, and it was. Fat Choy burger patty was fatty and juicy, but not especially tasty or well seasoned, and short rib topping overpowered everything else. Lastly, short rib grilled cheese- again, fatty and greasy with no amazing flavors to speak of. Altogether, I'm glad I knocked off another spot from my bookmarked list, but I see zero reason to come back. read more

Best Bao and reasonable price in Vegas I have traveled to Las Vegas for more than 10 times. I like this city. Yet, dining is an issue. Foods are much more expensive year after year. Traffic are bad at the Stripe. So, I found this place. It is hidden in a tiny casino. Yet, it will surprise you. Not only because it was on it Drive-ins TV show on the Foods Channel before. But also how tasteful the food is. We ordered Pork Belly Bao and Peking duck Bao. These are fashionable Asian foods. It doesn't match the casino style, yet it is really good. It is the best Asian fusion food that I ever had in Vegas. The price is reasonable as well. read more

This is one of those Vegas local "secrets".. The place that you bring your favorite friends and family when they visit. This is not fancy, but delicious and made with love and attention at all times. The bao are inspired and perfectly fluffy and sticky every time I order them, the shortrib is tender and sweet, the burgers are classic and always amazing. We usually share an app or two, then also share one of the inspired sandwiches with fries. Our favorite is the shortrib grilled cheese with tomato dipping sauce. You will not regret this masterpiece. Another usual special is the pork belly BLT.. With both their smoked and seasoned pork belly and delicious bacon on a wonderful sourdough toast how could it be anything but wonderful? The Peking duck bao is pictured below, order it and thank me later! read more

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

The Fat Benedict is English muffins topped with poached eggs, crispy pork belly, and hollandaise sauce. The hollandaise along with the pork belly make this dish shine. The hollandaise sauce is thick and sticks to all of the nooks and crannies of the English muffin with a rich yolky, buttery flavor. The pork belly is tender and just to die for! I normally get the pork belly bao but I might have to get this instead if I dine here on a Sunday. The breakfast potatoes were golden brown and the hollandaise made a perfect dip for them. Rating: 5/5 The Fat Choy Burger is my hubby's favorite burger of all time. 99% of the time, he will order it. All of the elements - beef patty, braised short rib, bacon, fried egg, cheddar, and onion jam - are a symphony of flavors that cannot be topped. It's one of my favorite burgers as well, but I love so many items on the Fat Choy menu that I have to be selective in my choices. I can't eat everything at one sitting! If I could, I would. Rating: 5/5 read more

My wife asked me "of the three dishes that we had, which did you like the best?" I pondered her question and then answered with a question of my own. "How do you pick from three perfect dishes?"

Holy pork belly bao!!! I don't think ive ever had more flavorful pork belly, let alone a more amazing combination of flavors in one bite. I'm not going to write anything else about it, since almost every other review explains it in detail. Just trust everyone and try it! The duck fried rice with an egg is also pretty good! read more

Damn great food. Fat Choy has an excellent fusion between American eats and Asian dining, along with intermixing fine dining elements (pork belly) for a great taste of food. In particular, the layers of flavor that come with its dishes will first hit you with a bit of Hawaiian flavors from the teriyaki coating, followed by thousand island, and then just the fatty richness of the meat. Of course, I'm describing the Fat Choy burger, which is one of the best burgers I have ever had. Additionally, I'm a fan of the pork belly buns that have all the elements of the traditional Peking Duck, but with the added goodness that only pork belly can deliver. All in all, Fat Choy is a clean simple restaurant with excellent food and service (thanks Emily!). I enjoy bringing friends to try Fat Choy, as it quickly becomes a favorite. The pricing is reasonable and fair. You will not regret trying Fat Choy. read more

Read somewhere online that the way to eat well is to "skip the middle"; eat at dives and fine dining, skipping the olive gardens, brios, cheese cake factories. Of course, what's considered fine dining these days? Can't remember the last time I wore a jacket to a fancy joint. Here is an example of fine dining quality food that you reach at the end of a haze of stale smoke. Cost savings of the missing maitre d' passed on to you. Besides, the staff is friendly so you won't notice. Skip the middle, patronize joints like this. read more

You won't be disappointed eating at Fay Choy. The baos are simply amazing...flavorful and perfectly cooked. My personal favorite is the duck bao. Chef Sheridan combines a perfect amount of tender meat, crispy skin, sauce, and veggie to create the perfect handheld sandwich. If you've never had a bao blow you away you should definitely try these. Noodles, short rib grilled cheese, and his burger are also must haves. read more

Awesome food. Cool beer selections Bao and Duck Rice are not to be missed. Love this place and the creepy Casino that it makes it's home in. There is something kind of surreal in having the Security Guard toting your cocktails to the gaming machines read more

I love Fat Choy. I have been here many times before, however this is my first review for them. The staff is always nice and very courteous. I always order the Fat Choy burger. It is amazing. Short ribs and and egg on a burger make a perfect addition. My only complaint is that they close too early during the week. 10pm during the week is way too early, especially for being in a casino. When I want some late night grub I have to go somewhere else. I am a big fan and look forward to trying out some other items on their menu in the future. read more

I was really excited to finally eat here after reading so many great reviews. Unfortunately for me, the food was just average, nothing spectacular. The restaurant itself is tucked in right in the Eureka Casino. There aren't very many choices on the menu, nothing really caught my eye, I admit that I settled on eating here. It was way past lunch time and I was starving like Marvin. I finally decided to order the sesame noodles. They were decent, not memorable but they had a bit of a kick which was perfect, not too spicy and not too bland. Food took a little bit longer than expected but the waitress was very nice and attentive. I wouldn't go out of my way just to eat here again. I think the best part of the meal was the dessert and the variety of coke flavors they have. read more

Perhaps the strangest place for a great burger. Get the fat choy burger. It's robust with flavor and kind of a unique place to eat. Why strange? This is off the strip Vegas casino restaurant. All the staff are filled with personality. I've been here four times and never a once have I been disappointed. If you have a sweet tooth get the desserts. read more

I got an H/T on this spot by a friend and then saw it listed on the "Eater 38" so I couldn't wait to try it, and it did not disappoint. The wife and I ordered and split the short rib grilled cheese with salad and the sesame noodle bowl. It was a perfect lunch for two. In fact, that short rib and cheese has got to be one of the best sandwiches in town; it was simply amazing. Added bonus: excellent service and good prices. Can't wait to go back and sample more dishes. read more
