    Can't eat this, but I love the fusion goals!
    Susan L.

    I'm obsessed with Fatty Mart. Great location. Okay parking. Charming staff. Remodel made it even more spacious, colorful, and attractive. So fun to drop by and try new items along with my delicious "usuals."

    Interesting store with uncommon cool finds, that serves Asian fusion concept hot food and small dishes (like Korean Banchan). Fatty Mart is basically an Asian bodega, that's part of the Fatty Group (their restaurant Little Fatty is around the block). I like the fusion concept and how it implements Taiwanese elements throughout the menu and the store itself. It's my first time here at Fatty Mart, I ordered 3 items to try: Popcorn Chicken (4.5/5): No brainer order, you won't go wrong with this dish at any Taiwanese place. Decently portioned, comes with Thai sweet and chili sauce. I wish it comes with spicy option where they could coat it with chili powder, the chicken is juicy, they deep fried it with basil as well which is quite accurate to the Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken. Gluten free as well, at the same time it's crispy. Papaya Salad (4.7): Portion is decent for the price, the taste is pretty good and refreshing. Love the cashew toppings that adds texture and depth. Taste profile is good, recommend. Some places don't let the sauce sink into the shredded papaya, this one is well marinated and has great flavours (slightly spicy). Hainan Chicken Noodle Soup (1/5): Sorry. I was deciding if I should get this or the three cup chicken (either fold or rice platter), and I regretted it. This is under delivering, it's bland. Not like the noodles are soggy or not fresh. I just think they shouldn't associate this soup dish with Hainan, it didn't come with any of the 3 classic dipping sauces you will see in Hainan Chicken. The soup and the chicken tastes nothing related to Hainan Chicken. It tastes like boxed chicken stock in grocery store with a few piece of Bok Choy and cilantro... It's reasonably priced.. Either name it as a regular chicken noodle soup, or has some elements that's related. I could see this soup with the ginger scallion taste, this needs to be adjusted or removed from the menu. Anyways, I love to see a place that celebrates Asian food culture! This place carries flavours from Vietnam, Taiwan, Thai, Korean dishes. It has a great selection of alcohol and snacks, hot food, salad bar and Korean shaved ice.

    Great neighborhood market and spot to get a delicious meal. Ordered the rice bowl with bulgogi beef and pork belly rice bowl (made it a fatty style) with a side of pork lumpias ... everything was so good! The Thai tea was very refreshing! Street parking is available. Staff were awesome!

    Stumbled across such a cute Asian convenience store! I loved how there was everything from drinks, food, and merch! Ordered the lumpia and banh mi! Loved the beef banh mi paired with the pho soup! Super flavorful.

    Great place to grab food and snacks quickly. They're also very allergen friendly with all the allergen notations on the menu. Love that they have gluten free fried chicken. It's not easy to find places that make gluten free friend chicken that have that crunch! Try their taiwainese 3 cups chicken! you won't regret it. They also have the hot food section - where you can select what you want with 2 sides and they'll weigh it. Few ready to go small sides such as korean banchan to grab. Love that they put all the ingredients on the food - for us all GF BFF's in the world to enjoy. Lots of places to sit as well.

    Hallelujah there's an Asian market on the Westside!! This cute spot has colorful wall murals, patio seating, indoor kitchen style seating, alcoholic & na beverages, hot kitchen, mini mart, and to go fridge all in one! They also offer a microwave and water dispenser for no extra charge, so that's a big perk nowadays! They also do specials each day of the week and events like comedy nights so this place is for sure happening and a gem in the neighborhood!

    Fatty Fold
    Amy L.

    This is mainly a review for the Fatty Fold, one of the food options on the menu. Soo flavorful and filling for $10 (heard it used to be $7). Really great employment of fusion cuisine. The kimchi pickles were also tasty, on the sweeter side and well-vinegared. Plenty of seating and quick service. More of an industrial vibe, and lots of drinks to choose from in the "grocery" portion of their spot. Lots of street parking nearby.

    Mint chocolate chip ice cream. Delicious!

    Amazing staff (especially Jackie) and a very good selection of hot food and ready to eat items. Would highly recommend anyone who loves food to come check this place out! My daughter loved it!

    Wagyu Bahn Mi
    Paul G.

    Fatty Mart is such a GEM! I love how open the space and it really makes me feel like it is a mini H Mart or Mitsuwa. They have a variety of refrigerated and frozen foods as well as other snacks, groceries, gifts and alcohol to choose from. The food court is also small but versatile and they have great deals daily! My fiancé and I were lucky enough to go on a Monday where they have buy one get one pad see ew and although tot was delicious the Wagyu Bahn Mi was just amazing with the meat cooked perfectly, along with a softer bread so it's easier to eat! I cannot wait to come back again and try other things and I for sure think you need to check this place put because the workers were all so nice and efficient when working the different food spots!

    iced matcha latte, kra pow rice bowl (ground chicken)
    Paul L.

    Fatty Mart in Mar Vista is one of those places that makes you do a double take when you walk in. Is it a cafe? A grocery store? A wine shop you accidentally want to browse for 20 minutes? Yes. I've been to Little Fatty and Accomplice Bar before, so I already trusted the ownership, but this mart setup is especially fun. You can grab a legit meal and then immediately wander the aisles pretending you're only going to buy one thing. Spoiler alert: you won't. I ordered the Kra Pow rice bowl with spicy chicken and green beans and it hit exactly how I wanted it to. Flavorful, satisfying, and actually spicy enough to count. Paired it with an iced matcha latte, which was solid and refreshing without being overly sweet. The market side is what really seals it though. Huge selection of snacks, pantry items, and some very tempting wines that definitely caught my eye. This feels like the kind of spot you pop into "real quick" and somehow leave very happy and slightly over budget. I'll absolutely be back, probably hungry, probably telling myself I don't need more wine.

    I've had Fatty Mart bookmarked for quite some time, and since I had some time off from work for the week of New Year's, I figured I would finally give it a try. I came on a Tuesday at noon. Finding a metered parking space was pretty easy, but I don't know if that's normal for this area, or if it's because it's the week of a holiday and everyone is out of town. The inside of the place was nice and clean, with a sort of industrial aesthetic. Lots of uncommon Asian groceries, snacks, and drinks available. Plenty of food court style seating inside, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I ordered the beef bulgogi bowl. I went with the "make it fatty" option, which adds banchan to the bowl (kimchi and other veggies). The bulgogi is made from wagyu, and everything in the bowl was very tasty. I also ordered the pork belly fatty fold. It too, was very tasty - be warned on this particular item though, it is VERY fatty. The fatty parts are very rich, and I felt a little nauseous after eating it - you will need Lipitor for dessert! Lastly, I also ordered a Thai iced tea - good, but nothing special. My total came out to a little over $37, so it was quite pricey. Overall, the food was good-tasting, but not a good value. Still worth trying, but this isn't a place that I will be visiting that frequently.

    Fatty Folds with 3 cup chicken
    Andy C.

    FattyMart is an interesting concept, a mashup of Eataly-style market meets Taiwanese food court, with a sprinkle of general Asian grocery items. The vibe is young and energetic, with a few tables outside the market and casual seating scattered throughout the space. We ordered the Fatty Folds with three-cup chicken, wagyu beef pho banh mi, and beef bulgogi bowl with a fatty add-on. The Fatty Folds were an interesting twist on the Taiwanese scallion pancake, used as taco-style to wrap your choice of protein. While the concept was fun, the pancake itself was overly greasy and lacked scallion flavor. It's a pass. The wagyu banh mi was good overall, though a bit dry on its own. Thankfully, the pho beef dip was excellent and really made the dish better. The bulgogi bowl came with only six tiny slices of beef on a full bowl of rice. Without the fatty add-on ($4), it would've been disappointing. Big thanks to the waitress who strongly recommended upgrading. Service was quick, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I'd give the food 3.5 out of 5 stars, and the staff and setting 4 out of 5. Overall, it's a 4-star place, worth checking out for the concept for once.

    Visited Hangari on Saturday evening to try their renown Kalguksu with some friends. I've known that…read morespecific parking lot/strip mall to be a nightmare parking wise, so I bit the bullet and used the on-site valet. There is sometimes street parking but the availability is rough, it's tough to park, and even one of the meters we ended up at just didn't work. They only charge a $5 cash service charge though, which isn't bad. We were lucky to be seated right away, even in a packed restaurant. The restaurant has a surprisingly modern design, and is comfortable for as small as it is. We were quickly served their signature kimchis and barley rice. The kimchi, particularly the yeolmu (young summer radish) kimchi, has a unique flavor profile well suited to their food. We ordered 2 bowls of their plain kalgooksu, 1 bibim milmyun, and 1 tteokbokki. The food came out fairly quickly. The kalgooksu was as expected the star of the show. The anchovy broth brings a savory complexity that seems impossible for a soup made from just dried fish and a few other ingredients. It even has a rich, almost thick, quality to it that is surprising for a fish broth. Their noodles, the titular kalgooksu, have the signature irregularity and chew of knife cut noodles. I appreciate the vegetables that always come in kalgooksu, like potato, pumpkin, and zucchini, which offer an earthy heartiness to the light soup. My only complaint is that the potato is in huge irregular chunks, and is barely cooked, though I feel like I have had this issue with many of the kalgooksu bowls I've had over the years. The bibim milmyun was solid. I think that I prefer the texture and flavor of naengmyeon buckwheat noodles, but the milmyun, which are made with mostly wheat flour, still provide a satisfying chew. The sauce tasted bright and fresh, especially with a splash of added vinegar. It also came with a small side portion of spicy pork and some rice paper to wrap. The tteokbokki was the one let down of the meal. To be fair, I wasn't expecting much out of tteokbokki at all restaurant like this whose specialty is essentially the opposite. I ordered the tteokbokki as a "safe pick" for a picky eater in the group. It turned out to be a bit mediocre in our opinion, and that friend ended up enjoying their kalgooksu anyways. If you're looking to try this dish, it's definitely one of if not the best I've had in Southern California, so I'd totally recommend it. I'll also warn to steer clear of the Garden Grove restaurant of the same name and specialty. I think it's a disappointing mimicry of this place.

We ordered a tonkatsu ramen and a tsukemen which had a choice of cold or hot noodles We did a hot noodle and both dishes were tasty! The tonkatau wasn't overly heavy but just enough to not be bland either which was perfect for my taste Interior was clean and service was awesome. We came on a Sunday early afternoon so we didn't have to wait. Parking is unfortunately just street parking but there's also a lot nearby if you're willing to pay. This place was also dog friendly and my small Maltese was allowed to sit with us even though there was no outdoor dining

    PREMISE: I went to this location on a Wednesday evening at approximately 5PM for a party of two…read more WAIT TIME: We got seated right away! There was not anyone at the restaurant at the time, but people did start trickling in as more time elapsed. We got our food relatively quickly as well. FOOD: I ordered the spicy pork tsukemen ($23.45), which is their dipping noodle. The noodles are thicker than standard ramen, but in a good way! It comes with thick chashu (thick, fatty pork) slices and soft boiled eggs. If you haven't had tsukemen before, you essentially dip your noodles into the broth and then eat it that way. The broth is extremely flavorful and there are also pieces of chashu in it as well. The only critique that I have regarding this is the broth was lukewarm which made the dish taste slightly off. I've tried this dish at another branch and the broth was also lukewarm there, so I'm not sure if this is a location issue or a standard amongst all branches. Also, this dish does not really have any vegetables in this, but I also don't know if traditional tsukemen has veggies included. SERVICE: Service was quick and everyone was nice and doing their job. Didn't seem like the staff was slacking or messing around while there weren't many customers. They were very attentive to us, refilling our water immediately once they saw it was getting low, and being very attentive towards if we had any other concerns or if we needed anything else. PARKING: There technically is street parking but since it's in Little Tokyo, it's going to be very difficult to find it. There's $4-6 valet parking available nearby the location. There are a lot of people walking around though so just be safe. INTERIOR: It's not too big of a place but it's also not too small as well. It looks very well kept and clean. BATHROOM: Two gender neutral bathroom stalls that are both very clean and accessible. No issues here with them. TLDR: Overall, I thought the place was pretty good to eat at! I would definitely come back for the tsukemen (as long as the broth is warmed up until it's hot). A very good dish combined with great music (they have some great Japanese music variety) is definitely a spot worth coming to with friends !! :))

It's been sitting on my saved list for a while, and honestly, this turned out to be the perfect opportunity. The space itself is bright, clean, and welcoming with warm woody tones throughout. Casual setup where you order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. I had already looked through the menu beforehand, so the real challenge was narrowing down what to order for one person. I failed at that... and I'm very happy I did. Started with the Pig Ear Salad 滷豬耳朵. Braised thin sliced pig ears dressed with soy sauce, chili oil, sesame oil, scallion, and cilantro. OMG. So good. Tender, flavorful, perfectly braised, with that satisfying chewy texture done right. Also got the Fried Peanut Salad 五味花生 with garlic, cilantro, scallions, vinegar, and Thai chili. Super crunchy, bright, refreshing, and honestly addicting. I added a cup of the Hot & Sour Soup 酸辣湯 too. Organic tofu, beech mushroom, carrot, bamboo, woodear mushroom, and egg. Super comforting with a really balanced tang and peppery heat. Not overly thick or heavy like a lot of Americanized versions can be. Exactly the kind of soup you want during a long travel day. For noodles, I ordered the Dan Dan Noodles 擔擔麵. Sesame-peanut sauce, cucumber, cilantro, crushed peanuts. Delicious on its own already, but I ended up adding some of the fried peanuts from the salad into the noodles and it became even better. Then the Three Cup Chicken 三杯雞 with sesame oil, soy sauce, rice wine, and Thai basil. I do wish it had a little more wok hei, but overall the flavor was still really comforting and savory. Extremely good with rice. Had a glass of Gewürztraminer alongside everything, which paired surprisingly well with the spice and aromatics. Their wine list leans more organic / natural wine focused, which felt very LA in a good way. Ended up sitting at a high top next to one of the managers and had a great conversation throughout the meal. She ended up hooking me up with the Traditional Shaved Ice 傳統刨冰 with grass jelly, red bean, boba, sweet potato balls, taro balls, brown sugar syrup, and condensed milk. I was already planning to order it anyway, and wow... I finished the entire thing. The brown sugar syrup was incredibly fragrant. Packed the leftovers to-go, and that ended up becoming my dinner after landing in San Francisco later that evening. Flight cancellation somehow turned into a really great food day.

It is self-seating so you'll place the number on your table. They offer some utensils at the tables but it is also self service so you can get your own bowl, plates, utensils and water. FOOD I came with a large group so we ordered a good number of dishes. All the dishes were delicious, flavorful and above and beyond for what I find it to be more a fusion-Asian restaurant. I particularly liked their brown sugar milk team as it comes with boba and grass jelly. And their mochi was SO delicious. This would be a place my parents would enjoy a lot. PARKING It's in downtown LA so parking can be tough. There are plenty of paid parking structures nearby. WOULD I COME BACK? YES!
