    Cameron was the absolute best bartender ever!! We came in close to close (not realizing) and he still took great care of us! This Sunday was super chill and we were the only ones sitting at the bar! I let Cameron experiment with some whiskey cocktails and they were so good! First, on the menu: the apple cider martini, second a harvest cider...both great! Food is 10/10 as always, and I'll def be coming back!

    Slightly upscale Chinese food. Location was easy to find. Nice interior, does have a fancy feeling. We ordered their fried rice, lettuce wraps, honey walnut shrimp, and Mongolian beef. All had great taste. Family style dishes. Service was good. Our server was very attentive to our table.

    45 minutes waiting for desert.

    The service at Fat's is comically horrible. We have been here for 2 hours for a quick lunch and are still waiting. The orders were wrong and nothing was done. There is obviously no management here.

    Me and my girlfriend decided to come here for our 1 year anniversary and we were not disappointed! Upon entering, we noticed that the restaurant's ambiance was pleasant and not chaotic. The hostess seated us quickly and our servers, Dianna and Gabriel, were spectacular. We ended up getting the Genghis Khan Beef and Hong Kong Chow Mein. Both dishes were full of flavor and the portion sizes were huge. For the Genghis Khan beef, the wontons were crispy and had lots of meaty filling. The flank steak and veggies were cooked perfectly and the gravy was tasty and not too greasy. The Hong Kong Chow Mein was full of flavor and there was a good balance of proteins and veggies. The noodles maintained their crispy texture, which was a plus for us! After finishing our entrees, our servers asked us if we were celebrating anything special and after telling them it was our 1 year anniversary, they surprised us with a complimentary banana cream pie! The pie was out of this world! The bananas were fresh and not mushy, the crust was buttery, and the cream was light and not too sweet. I would 100% recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for some solid Asian food that is accompanied by wonderful service!

    I should have lowered my expectations even before arriving based on the experience of others. To confirm this was not a reflection of this persons service abilities because they were pretty good but our servers hands were Disgusting. Splotchy with paint? Dye? Dirt? Handing me a drink where your hands touch the part where my mouth goes with hands of this condition completely turned us off our food. The employee also had questionable hygiene of their personal scent, hair, teeth, overall made it difficult to enjoy the experience. When it comes to the food, I was very underwhelmed by the offerings. All deep fried, pre frozen foods that I could just as easily buy at a grocery store and cook myself in a few minutes. The table, walls and doors were also quite dirty, sticky from fingers and traffic over time. I can't say I will return for the above reasons, and would definitely recommend managers discuss personal hygiene with wait staff as it does impact the overall experience.

    As we walked in I noticed it was very nicely decorated with cute palm tree inside of the building. Of course we sat at the bar but what a big mistake that was. Service was terrible!! Didn't have a nice friendly greeting it's not like they were super busy. The girl has what maybe 7 other people at the bar. We got our lumpia and it actually was good. But when she brought our food out that had been sitting for a while she didn't bother to give us napkins or extra plates. I was so turned off by the service that we decided to leave. If service was a least a little better we would have stayed and ordered something else. So disappointing because I was looking forward to eating here. I will not be recommending this place. Jules at the bar. Please brush up on your customer service skills you are dealing with the public!!

    Fat's is one of those "modern" Chinese restaurants just like a PF Changs where is all modern and clean , the opposite of a hole on the wall mom and pop Chinese joint. You can even partake in the full bar offerings. I'll have a cosmo with my wonton soup! Just kidding! Prices are kinda high, so I'm glad I'm on an expense account! I ordered the Singapore Noodles $23.00 described as stir-fried rice noodles with shrimp, barbecued pork, egg, and curry. I've had this dish before, but not for $23 bucks! Service was fine and the food arrived in a timely manner. I was by myself, so I just served myself off the plate. I gotta say this was a pretty good version, they got the curry balance right and not too much. It had a nice wok seared flavor you don't ever get at PF Chang's. I'm happy I ordered this dish,. but I'm more happy I'm not the one paying! Tax and Tip ... $30 bucks for a plate of needles!

    Singapore noodles- not much protein for about $20. Plus the noodles were dry.

    Updated Review for Fats - Shoutout to Esther! We've always enjoyed our evenings at Fats, but this visit took things to another level--thanks to Esther! This was our first time sitting in front of a station where we could watch the magic happen, and she was truly an artist in action. Esther was working the hot appetizer station, and her speed and precision were nothing short of impressive. She moved at an incredible pace, yet every dish came out flawlessly--gorgeous, consistent, and absolutely delicious. There were no mistakes, no near misses--just pure skill and professionalism. The wontons, egg rolls, steamed dumplings, and coconut shrimp were some of the best we've ever had. Beyond her talent, Esther was also engaging, happy, and clearly took pride in her work. It's rare to see someone handle such a demanding station with both efficiency and enthusiasm, and she made the experience even more enjoyable. To management: Esther is a standout. Her skill, speed, and attention to detail make a huge impact on the guest experience, and she deserves recognition. To anyone considering a visit--if you get the chance, sit near the appetizer station and watch her work. You won't just get an amazing meal; you'll get a front-row seat to someone who truly elevates Fats. I wasn't planning to update my review, but Esther made such an impression that I couldn't just check in--I had to share. Looking forward to coming back soon!

    Went to dinner Saturday night and got a few drinks. My Moscow mule was extremely full of ginger. We got the calamari and only one piece tasted like octopus. We also got honey walnut chicken, sweet and sour chicken, and chicken fried rice. The food was really good. We then got a piece of NY cheesecake with raspberry drizzles and some coffee. The cake was delicious. The coffee was rough but overall it was a good experience. The service was great and we were the last ones in the restaurant. I'm sure we'll be back.

    Came here for lunch the Friday to celebrate the Holidays; already busy right at opening (11:30 am). Temp felt like a perfect 72 degrees after coming in from the cold (52 outside). Warm and intimate lighting, but only a few unlit garlands and ornaments sprinkled throughout the restaurant (not a real Christmas feeling). All tables had customers doing gift exchanges and joyously having a great time. Definitely a place for meetings, gatherings and intimate dining. For our meal, we ordered the honey walnut chicken, which seemed small in portion compared to our other visits here. The wor wonton was hot and plentiful, and the crispy house chow mein was good, but a bit skimpy on the protein. Everything was tasty though; remember to order a side of the sauces (sweet chili, Chinese hot mustard, hot chili sauce). The latter 2 Will definitely add a kick to your dish and clear your nostrils! The finishing touch was a slice of their infamous banana cream pie...oh so good! Happy Holidays to all!

    A great spot to visit for a birthday or gathering! Ambience was so beautiful and the waitress was very welcoming and friendly. It was clean and spacious. I'd highly de recommend the green beans and honey walnut shrimp.

    For a more upscale and relaxed environment! Great spot! Fireplace for those that enjoy that ambiance which we do. The food can be ordered family style and is very tasty. It feels like an escape when we eat here. Thats the same feeling we get when we go to one of the local casinos, mainly Thunder Valley! Feels like an escape from the norm. Service has always been to my satisfaction. Bar area is minimal occupancy but enjoyable if you can get a seat.

    Other 3 star reviews were spot on IMO - the food is mediocre at best and waaay overpriced. It's more like an Asian Fusion, similar to PF Chang's, thats been quite Americanized and lost the food's authentic originality. Taste buds were not dancing, safe to say. Then what exactly are you paying for? Why priced so high? You're paying for prime time location and environment. Not prime time food. This place is very classy, gorgeous internal designs, spacious seating, plenty of parking in its shared Plaza with business offices, fantastic customer service, ambiance is perfect for social or professional gatherings and dates (family friendly, sure, but definitely not bringing our restless toddlers if there's ever a next time), and modest attire (not a shorts and flip flops kind of spot). Highlighted items on their menu are their signature go to's, so we tried 2 of these - Bulgogi pork lo mein (mild spicy) and vegetable fried rice with shrimp. Mediocre, nothing special, and mostly on the bland side. Tried their Canton fish and lumpia - again, mediocre. I've had much better (and much cheaper) versions of both at hole in the wall fast food spots and at home! Both my wife and I were fine with the food, but nothing that stood out as a "Mmmm yummy!" kind of feeling. Don't get me wrong, this place is VERY nice for some Asian grub! Give it a shot and don't let the 3 star reviews deter you from trying it out. May even prefer the flavors more on the subtle side and you'll also enjoy their gorgeous layout. (Felt like I was at the Tiki Bar in Disneyland.) Just not our cup of tea and honestly we prefer to stay away from "fusion" restaurants precisely for the above reasons. Likely won't be back, but you never know!

As a Taiwanese person, I was very curious and intrigued by the Indo-Chinese dishes on the menu. The shop was quiet and clean, there was only one other family there during our lunch. So we got seated and placed our order right away. There were several large screen TVs in the dining area playing various shows. One was displaying beautiful sceanaries from the Himalayas and that captured my attention for the longest time. Soon our food came. We ordered the steamed Chicken Momos, the Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Naan and they all looked very good. We liked the curry, and the momos were fun to eat. It's a bit different but also very similiar to a Chinese bao. The Momo has much thiner skin and the filling tasted slightly different from a plain meat bao. To me, it feels kinda like a larger version of a soup dumpling without the pool of the broth inside. Needless to say, I found myself studying the momos while stuffing them into my mouth as they were quite delicious and easy to eat. Oveall, we were very glad we gave Everest Chilli Pepper a try as we enjoy the food and would like to try more Indo-Chinese dishes on our next visit.

Many of the diners on this particular night already knew her and appeared to have long standing relationships with the family. We came in on a Saturday evening around 5:15pm and the floor was packed. It remained that way until around 6:30pm. I would suggest coming in later in the evening so the 'regulars' can get in and out. Ok, so now on to the food and why the Green Elephant is such a standout. Everything is super fresh, and flavorful with great depth in the sauces. We started with the tea leaf salad, and pork lumpia. Then Panang chicken and spicy garlic pepper pork and an order of rice. We love spicy food, and requested such (she has a spice scale of 1-10). Our mains were a level 7 and that was sufficient to give us good heat without compromising the flavors. She will also bring you a small dish of chili pepper oil if you want even more heat. By the time we were finished, the floor had cleared, so we know now to arrive a little later. But, return we will !!!
