A restaurant that's a James Beard finalist should blow me away and although Phat Eatery was good, it didn't necessarily wow me. The beef rendang was recommended online, but I wouldn't get it here. The meat was in large chunks and very tough, not ideal for a dish that's supposed to be cooking for hours until tender. The roti canai was standard and the chicken flat noodles was the best dish of the meal (could taste the wok hei as Cantonese people would say). The milk tea was similar to a HK milk tea. There were three open tables yet my party of two was told to wait and we waited for 20 minutes. Will try again in the future and choose different dishes.
Really nice dining experience here at Phat Eatery. This was my first time having Malaysian food and how server was great at explaining the menu and giving recommendations. The Roti Canai with Curry Chicken Dip appetizer was amazing. Our absolute favorite of our dining experience. The Hainanese Chicken I was told is a signature dish here. It was good but I wasn't blown away by it and it wasn't bad enough to take a point away. The restaurant itself was very clean and is really cute and it has a very street vendor vibe. I definitely recommend.
I wish I could give Phat Eatery a 10/10 because that's truly what they deserve. The food here is phenomenal and some of the most authentic Malaysian food I've had. Every time I come here, I'm reminded how special it is when a restaurant truly cares about quality and flavor. My absolute favorite dish is the pineapple fried rice with shrimp, it's packed with flavor and perfectly cooked every time. I also love the honey basil wings, which are seriously addictive. Another must-order for me is the roti with chicken curry. The roti is soft and flaky, and the curry is incredibly rich and comforting without being overly spicy, which I really appreciate. It's my fave!! The drinks are great, the prices are very reasonable, and everything on the menu feels thoughtfully prepared. It's honestly getting harder these days to find restaurants that consistently serve food with this much care and authenticity, but Phat Eatery absolutely delivers. I could probably eat here every day, that's how much I love their food. If you're in Houston "Katy" and love Malaysian cuisine (or just amazing food in general), this place is a must. Highly recommend.
We had a great experience from start to finish. The food was delicious, so many options, and they had a great lunch menu for Monday-Fridays. Last but not least, our waitress was so sweet and nice! We ordered the following: Roti Canai - The roti is soooo good! Thin and flakey, but still pillowy and soft. Served with a curry like sauce but light on the curry flavor, just very savory. The sauce wasn't curry like though.. it was kinda gloopy. Didn't love the gelatinous texture of the sauce, but the roti itself, fire. Char Kway Teow (lunch portion) - Lunch portion is perfect for one if this is all you're eating. Perfect for 2-3 if you have other dishes to share. It's basically a dry chow fun, except they add in sweet Chinese sausage. They had like 3 shrimps in this lunch dish too, so not stingy at all with the protein. I liked the smokiness but I do wish they had sriracha or a spice rack as I like my foods a little spicy. I didn't ask for it though, so it's possible they do have spicy condiments. Sizzling Beef (lunch portion) - Portion size same as above. This is a very savory dish, border line a little salty for me. The presentation is real cute. They bring out a hot cast iron plate, with red onions on it, and then they spoon the beef entree from a metal container onto the cast iron so that it starts to sizzle. A little extra for sure, but it adds to the ambiance so I appreciate that effort. The bell peppers and onions were so sweet and helped to balance the sauce. The beef was nice and tender! Beef Rendang - This dish is the main reason why I chose to visit. This is only on the main dinner menu and yes it's a bit pricey, but it's a large portion and the dish is cooked well. It's basically a dry curry stew, as the curry notes are fairly strong. This is typically cooked with coconut milk but the coconut notes were very mild. While I did call it a stew, its not saucy. The beef was nice and tender but a little dry on some piece, and the potatoes in the dish held their shape nicely. They left some fat on the beef (I get it, fat is flavor) but I personally don't like that squishy texture in my meat. This is a dish worth ordering, especially if you've never had it, as it's flavor profile is quite unique. Idk if a pot of rice comes automatically or if it's because we ordered the beef rendang which is a dinner dish or what. But everyone had a pot of rice on the table from the looks of it, so it may be safe to say it comes with all entrees. They give you a real hefty serving of rice too, which is appreciated cause my BF eats hella rice lol When we packed our food to go, the server asked if wanted to pack the rice and I let her know we actually finished it. She was kind enough to give me a whole to go box of rice as well. Sooooo sweet! I made sure we ate all our leftovers too! I'm from the Bay (California) and tbh Malaysian/Indonesian food is kinda hard to find and the places that do serve it are super far from me. I was so stoked to find such a nice restaurant that not only served some of my favorites but served them WELL. Would highly recommend a visit if you're in the area and wanting something different from your usual Asian eats.
Phat Eatery in Katy has become my go‑to spot, especially since it's so close to work. The food is consistently amazing, and the Hainanese chicken is my absolute favorite: perfectly tender, deboned, and served with three great sauces. They're especially generous with the ginger, which I love. The roti canai is always soft and comforting, perfect for dipping. Reliable, delicious, and super convenient, I can't ask for more!
I wanted to treat myself to a great weekend meal and stopped by Phat Eatery, which did not disappoint! It admittedly started off a bit oddly. I entered around 3pm on a Sunday and the hostess was reluctant to give me a table and insisted on the bar, despite my visibly seeing at least 3 tables open just from where I was standing. I'm understanding of smaller venues with limited tables, I mean I lived in NYC, but when you have a paying customer in front of you, there are open tables and a request for one, and it's not a peak time, I mean come on where's the hospitality! After they called the manager, I did get a table (the one in front of me never filled up either, not exactly a busy time). Luckily, the food did make up for it. My server was friendly too and made good recommendations, although sadly the Beef Rendang wasn't nearly ready to serve. I suppose I'd have to come back for dinner sometime. I got a Lychee Sunrise to start, which was fantastic. It was too early for me to start drinking alcohol, so this worked fine. The Roti Canai with chicken curry for dipping was tasty, with the former being super flaky and delicious. The chicken in the curry was boneless, but they could've done a better job removing the skin and tendons. The curry was on the sweeter side, which worked well as a dipping sauce. The Har Gau (soft shrimp dumplings) were made fresh and delicate. It came with mustard for dipping, which was new to me, but worked very well. Now I was getting a bit overwhelmed, as like in many Asian restaurants, food tends to come out as they're made rather than timed as courses, oop. My Sizzling Tofu entree came with a generous portion of rice, with an amazing garlicy brown sauce (has minced chicken & shrimp, but they do have a vegetarian version) poured table side for that sizzling action. It was so flavorful, lots of depth and very filling. I got mine a bit spicy, which has 5 levels of spice of your choosing. Like a lot of the trendier restaurants and shops here, they do use one of those digital payment systems like Toast which some super high suggested default tips. I thought it was a bit funny as you refill your own water with the bottle they give you, but my server was friendly and gave me a show, so a generous tip was well earned.
This time, we ordered off their usual menu with some out of town friends. We ordered sizzing tofu, roti with two curries (beef was off menu), Hokkien noodles, beef rendang. I ordered a pandan colada for myself. I would get this drink again. It's amazing. Back to the food. This was all good for four people near closing time. Everything amazing. I would order this set again. The beef rendang does have a slight kick to it. No shrimps in this menu set because one of us has a shrimp allergy which they great accommodated for us. Tofu is a favorite! Roti was super stuff and tasty. Our server was very sweet and was actually the one who told us about the beef curry that was off menu to try with the roti. The place was clean and easy on the eyes. Parking is free and out front.
Visiting from California and Phat Eatery did not disappoint! The calamari was the star of the show, perfectly crispy and even better dipped in their mango sweet chili sauce. We also loved the roti canai, which had the perfect flaky texture. Some of the other dishes could have used a bit more spice/flavor, but they were still enjoyable overall. The restaurant was busy, but the space still felt comfortable and private, which we appreciated. Julie was our server and she was incredibly sweet and attentive! They place a large glass bottle of water on the table for you to refill yourself, but she still made sure our glasses stayed full the whole time. That extra level of care really stood out. Would definitely come back next time we're in Texas!
Award winning restaurant for a good reasons. Service and atmosphere: Outstanding service from get go. Our server was polite, friendly and very knowledgeable about food on a menu. She helped us decide on our dishes selection by recommendations. The restaurant was clean, structured, very modern and comfortable. Open bar area in the middle is very nice. Food and drinks: Delicious and well thought through dishes. Traditional selections with fragrant ingredients and seasonings. All of that gave the food authenticity test. The portions were generous. Big selection of various beverages to choose from. Pricing: $$ - super worth it and we will be coming back to dine in here again.
Everything was authentic and tasty! The chicken satay is a sleeper (matches with the sauce better than the beef satay). The char kway teow was nice and smoky but I wish the noodles had a touch more salt to bring out the flavors. The Hainanese chicken was my favorite - I could eat it all day! Especially with the 3 dipping sauces and flavored rice.
I've been wanting to try this place for some time and finally got to when we were close to the Katy area. The place is decent size, clean and has very good service. We asked our server for some recommendations and she suggested we try the sizzling tofu and the beef rendang. The tofu was excellent and came with a fried egg on the bottom of the skillet. The beef rendang was good but the beef had a lot of fat on it and so I didn't enjoy it as much. But I would come back here to try some other dishes. Sadly, they don't offer any desserts but there are a bunch of dessert spots in the strip center.
Phat eatery is a solid 4/5 stars. I take a one star point deduction for small portion size at HRW 2023 dinner. Let me explain, on August 1, 2023 I chose the spot for a late night dinner, and was pleasantly surprised that it was the first day of the official Houston Restaurant Weeks and the dinner was $55. I knew the roti canai chicken was calling my name as well as the durian ice cream. The entrée of osso bucco over mashed potatoes sounded delightful. While we waited for the dinner, I was excited about the mocktail options. Any restaurant offering, mocktails, or a list of non-alcoholic options for those who apparently get their freak on way too early in the week is always a good idea. The decor definitely seems like a street market vibe in Asia. Tall neon signs, and the wood paneling, it has a very sexy feel. The portion sizes are small so if you're a piggy like me, you may need more food. The roti canai, osso bucco. We're divine. However the durian ice cream was more of a vanilla with a touch, or better yet a wisp of durian. Service was great and I will likely return, but maybe order more food cuz this piggy likes her roti canai chicken and hopes the durian ice cream hits me in the face next time. read more

Ordered Uber Eats PACKAGING Sustainable, neat and spill proof APPETIZERS Roti canai with curry chicken dipping sauce. Very good. Very authentic. The roti pancake (you get two) nicely arranged (like a blooming flower). Still arrived crisp and warm after delivery which I was surprised. I thought it would be soggy from the moisture ENTREES HAINANESE CHICKEN What made me enjoy this was the orange sauce. I do not know what it is called. In my picture it is the middle sauce. It isn't ginger or the soy sauce. But it was excellent and flavorful. Once I drenched my plate in that orange sauce it was phenomenal. By itself the rice and chicken were bland. The orange sauce kicked it up about ten notches. I would order this again with extra orange sauce. It doesn't beat my fav HAINANESE chicken from Nua Thai (their ginger sauce is out of this world). CK TEOW Good. I enjoyed it how I ordered it. Spicy, no calamari, add beef. I would have been disappointed with calamari and not spicy. This is ideal if you plan to eat immediately once served. Not the best for to go/reheat. I had to add a pinch of salt for my liking. I did appreciate it comes with shrimp and Chinese sausage. I would definitely go back when in the Katy area. They also have a Woodlands location. I do have my eye on Uncle Chin's though. read more

I went to visit my friend in Katy. She recommended this restaurant. This was the first time tried Maleysian food in Houston. The foods way better than I thought. The chicken was nice in the way they cooked it. It was soft and tender. The sauce put on top make the chicken more tastier. I love garlic and ginger sauce came on the side. Good combination. I highly recommended Roti with curry sauce. The sauce was flavorful and not too oily. The satey was a little bit dry. Service was Okey because it was crowded. Big parking lot read more
I got take out for lunch. They have a weekday lunch special with good prices. It was my first time in Katy Asian Town and I'm already wanting to back! got this for lunch and I got the Mee Goreng with chicken. Wow YUM! I got level three spice (and it was pretty spicy). The flavors in this dish are just delicious. Every bite packs so many different flavors. The noodles are perfectly cooked, the peanuts are a great touch, and the vegetables are cooked perfectly. I did not actually eat in here, but from walking inside it looks like a more upscale place. It has a beautiful interior. Plus, the service was great! They open the door for you and walk you to your car. Yum! I love it! read more

The Roti with Curry Chicken was great! I love the flakiness and stretchiness of the Roti and the curry was good to dip it in. I also had the award winning beef dish. The beef is super tender, although I think overall it felt like my meal was missing veggies. I think there were potatoes in there but I got full before I ate any! The inside has a nice vibe and staff is very friendly. read more
Katy is growing UP. We got: Milk tea - so good Canai roti - an ok appy to start, I wasn't blown away Malaysian chicken curry - delicious, comes with jasmine rice CK teow - sort of like a Malaysian take pad thai (for those who haven't had it before) Next time we are getting the beef rendang and the prawns' Food was wonderful and relatively quick. The ambiance reminded me of a New York Asian restaurant that I can't quite remember the name of, but it's a nice change compared to your usual Katy spot. read more

the food was so good and the customer service is top tier! as someone from the east coast this philly is the best ive had since ive been in houston. I certainly will be back read more
We ordered the Hainanese chicken, beef rendang, chicken fried rice, laksa and ho fun. Would give 5/5 on laksa, 4/5 to beef rendang, fried rice and ho fun, 3/5 to Hainanese chicken. We were disappointed as Hainanese chicken is an easy dish with poached chicken. Perhaps the chicken is frozen not fresh as the meat tasted different. We drove over an hour for this specific dish. Thank goodness that the laksa was good (a tad too sweet but still good). Beef was tender enough but a bit dry. Wish they sell desserts! There are other Malaysian restaurants closer to town but this is definitely a good one in Katy. read more

Phat Eatery isn't just a restaurant--it's a full-blown flavor rave where your taste buds throw on tiny party hats and dance like nobody's watching. Walking in, you're immediately hit with the irresistible aroma of sizzling street food, like your nose just got front row seats to a culinary rock concert. The roti? Flakier than your friend who "forgot" your birthday, and the beef rendang? So tender it probably gets love letters from steak knives. Honestly, if comfort food and bold flavors had a deliciously chaotic baby, it would be named Phat Eatery--raised on spice, hugged by wok-fried dreams, and destined to ruin all other meals for you forever. Service was great, we had a amazing server Maya! She went above and BEYOND. read more
It's been a while since I've been in Houston and Katy Asian town is booming. Came here for lunch during their anniversary of opening or something and got a complimentary roti canai. I also ordered their curry laksa which comes with a roti canai (what a win) Curry laksa tasted like all the other laksas I've had so flavor wise spot on. I thought it was a decent dish and portion size was great. Having two roti canais made me unable to finish the whole soup though haha Roti canai was fluffy and soft and the dipping sauce wasn't too sweet. Even my god mother liked it and she was stepping out of her comfort zone. I'd be down to come here again and try other dishes next time I'm in town read more

Fresh from Spa World, I wanted a light dinner that did not skimp on flavor. Ding ding ding, this spot did the trick. Ofcourse, you can go as light or heavy as you want with your dining experience (their menu hits that sweet spot in offering a variety of options without approaching the level of choice overwhelm). So certainly a worth while spot for all of your eaters (picky, adventurous, peckish, gluttonous, and everyone in between). And for those who are easily bored, you'll be happy to know that this establishment is sure to keep you entertained with their calibrated on tap beer pouring mechanism, the logo spinning on the floor, and sizzling dishes arriving table side ever few minutes. They have a (somewhat expensive) dim sum menu offered all day all the time, and a 6 course sharing menu plate for $48 (2 people minimum). You really can create your own dining adventure. I personally was feeling peckish but I tried a handful of items. Forbes featured drink- pink rabbit, a gin based drink. Satisfyingly fruity while still honoring the gin (not too juicy). Tart(ish) but not puckering. Delightfully balanced. Yelp lemon iced tea- had them tone down the sugar and it was a satisfyingly standard lemon tea. Roti canal- such a beautiful comfort food. The bread was perfectly crispy, with a soft interior. The dip was incredibly comforting! Award winning kerabu prawn- a textual version of shrimp and cocktail sauce? Def familiar & delicious. Crispy peanut and sesame seeds on top *chef's kiss* Har Gau dim sum dish- meh, it's fine. If I'm honest, I don't even like mustard, but this mustard is homemade, it's fresh, lemon forward and the flavors pop! In addition to the food, the location couldn't be better! You can explore with drinks, entrees or dessert within walkable distance, then grab your weekly groceries at H-Mart. I'll certainly be back, and next time I'll bring my appetite! read more

So so good! My favorite is probably the sizzling egg tofu, but I've tried a bunch of things here and they've all been great. Other regular dishes are the roti and the hainanese chicken. This place can get crowded at normal meal times, so make a reservation or come early! read more

A cute place with a solid menu. Parking/location: Since it's in the Katy Asia town area, there's tons of parking ! That being said, the parking right in front fills up and you may have to park further away. Ambiance: The restaurant seemed bigger from the outside, I'm not sure if that's because of the area we were sat at or if the other half is a separate thing. That being said, I quite enjoyed the smaller/narrow seating area. It made it feel more intimate/cozy. There's booths, tables, and bar seating. Drinks: They have cocktails and mocktails, but I definitely recommend going for one of the juices! We tried several and they're so good ! Food: We stopped in for a quick dinner, so didn't try any appetizers or anything. I had the curry noodle soup and it was quite good. It didn't blow my socks off but was enjoyable. The serving size was huge! Which was great for leftovers to take home (though funny in relation to the other 3 entrees at my table which were smaller sizes) Overall this was a chill place to check out. read more
Great Service, food was hit or miss. I ordered the Feed Me which is a 6 course shared meal that your server hand selects for you (not the chef). Be sure to inform your server of any must-haves you'd want included in your meal (mine was the Roti Canai) and they should include it for you. Our meal consisted of the Roti Canai, Soft Shelled Crab Salad, Chicken Curry, Sizzling Beef, Malaysian Fried Rice, and the Chili Shrimp. The starters were way better than the entrees. The bread and the curry were paired beautifully for the Roti Canai. It eating it was like being enveloped in a warm hug. The Soft Shelled Crab Salad was light and refreshing, with a great balance of mango and crab. For the entrees, I wasn't super impressed. The Chili Prawn was a let down for me, I just didn't enjoy the flavor. The Chicken Curry and Fried Rice were not bad. It actually really threw me off that I took a bite from the Chicken Curry thinking it was a piece of chicken, but it turned out to be a potato. The Sizzling Beef was the best entrée of the 4, but it still wasn't amazing. For drinks, the Pink Rabbit was a little sweet, and a bit bland. The Spicy Lychee Margarita was a lot better, really refreshing! Although dinner was super packed, our server was on top it. Our food came out in a timely manner despite it being super busy. He did a wonderful job. We had a nice experience, and want to come back, but wouldn't do the Feed Me experience again. It missed its mark, and I'd much rather hand pick our dishes next time. read more
A wonderful place to grab Asian food or all kind, from dim sum, to curry, to chow fun and more. The place is designed to look like a street market with lots of seating. Our server was amazing and attentive. The sizzling tofu was interesting and flavorful. Reminds me of a black bean sauce. The chow fun was amazing with the different types of meat in it. I'd come back! read more
Service was great upon arrival! I was expecting a long wait time but since we came during the week night there wasn't a wait at all. I came here with my family and the food was great! Our waitress was wonderful as well and super attentive to our needs. Everything is delicious! read more
Been here a couple of times while in the area, and it does not disappoint! Nestled in a nice Asian shopping strip, Phat Eatery offers an array of Malaysian dishes as well as Chinese favorites. The roti canai is simply amazing and not to be missed as an appetizer. It's basically a flakey flatbread with a curry dip. Sounds simple, but it's amazing! I enjoy the fried rice surprisingly, and the beef hor fun noodle dish is well prepared. Everything has been tasty, and the service has been pleasant. Definitely try it family style, so you can taste more dishes. They apparently offer dim sum here, which I did not expect. Definitely worth a visit to familiarize yourself with Malaysian cuisine. read more

I've been raving about wanpo to my friend for months now and they have never really gone to Katy to explore it since they live so far. I took them to one of the few Malaysian restaurants in the Houston area. There was a 20-30 minute wait but we spent that time looking at Yeppo a few doors down. The inside of the restaurant is decorated in a way where you feel like you have transported to a night market overseas. I got the hainanese chicken with fragrant pandan rice, they got the . The chicken is poached with a flight of sauces (green onion and ginger, spicy sauce, and soy sauce. My friend got the char kway teow which includes shrimp calamari, Chinese sausage, bean sprout, egg, and chives. We also got a roti canai as an appetizer. The roti came out first, it is an Indian flatbread with a curry dip. I really loved the flakiness of the roti, it went well with the curry sauce. The Hainanese chicken was so good. The chicken is perfectly soft and the bed of sauce it sits in was really delicious. My favorite dipping sauce was the spicy one. The pandan fragrant rice was a little dry but I still liked it. The char kway teow looked small but it is actually a really big portion. It had the wok flavor in it as well. Just a really solid bowl of noodles. We had so much leftovers afterwards. read more

The atmosphere is a night city vibe. We ordered off their weekday lunch menu and the portion size is good enough for two people. The staff is very friendly. I would recommend the snow pea leaves with garlic. Another favorite off the lunch menu is their mee goreng. Price is average. read more
SAVORY, salty, sweet, scrumptious calamari. Wow, words cannot describe how much I loved the seasoning. Remember that scene in Ratatouille where Remy's mouth has a flavor explosion? That was me for a solid minute after I took my first bite of the calamari. The tofu was soft inside with a nice crunchy outside. Phat Eatery has a lovely waitstaff and the street dive decor added to my enjoyable dining experience. I cannot wait to go back! read more

If Barbie dumped me, she'd get a boy from a FRAT Or a Juicehead pumped up veiny gym RAT Or a famous social media star with full-body TAT But instead all the people say "why's she with THAT"? It's because "that boy" takes her to PHAT! I'm her dude, her driver, her D, and doorMAT She used to be a dog girl until she met this CAT And she's dating other men while updating me in CHAT And after she is done with them I take her out to PHAT! I'd take a bullet for her, I'd engage in COMBAT And every time she gets tired, my face is where she SAT And hey, are you Scottish, because McGroin needs a PAT You want Malaysian food, for the best, go to PHAT! WHAT! What to get: Roti Canai and Char Kway Teow What to ask the server: Canai get another order please? What else: I roti this review at 5 in the morning. If you don't let exotic stuff phase ya And you love the food in South East Asia Katy's Phat is the place That nothing can replace With the greatest of meals from Malaysia Malaysian food is some of the most underrated and amazing in the world. Like Korean soups, Malaysian dishes are probably my top choice for amazing stuff from all of East or South East Asia. I can't get enough of them, and we eat them all the time. If it were a butcher shop, it'd be Phat Meatery. And if it were a Fight Club, it'd be Phat Meatery. There are very few dishes that can compare to the spectacular nature of the wonderful food here, a heaven that you can experience when you eat something like Char Kway Teow, or the Roti Canai here, which is some of the best we've had anywhere. If it were ready to fall over, it'd be Phat Teetery. And if it were Barbie's enhanced thingies it'd be Phat Teatery. We're truly massive fans of Malaysian food, and you won't get much better stuff than this. The service here can be excellent as well, and we are big fans. The owner knows us and is always very friendly. The hostess girls are sensational, and lots of the servers are top notch and very friendly. If they only sold desserts, they'd be Phat Sweetery. And if Barbie did one of her famous soles pix here, it'd be Phat Feetery. I try to make a pilgrimage here at least once a month, and I would say that along with Tasty Ko, it is probably my favourite place to eat in Katy, although we've discovered a new Vietnamese sandwich place recently which is pretty special too. Some of the most delicious and tasty Malaysian food that we've seen around and about is here at The Phat. We're definitely fans, and I appreciate them being here. I guess one of the problems is that we haven't been able to get them to make the dishes as spicy as we want. But also, I guess the main downside for us is that they shut down the sandwich shop next door (Yelo), which had the same owner but which was full of amazing Innovations, like Banh Mi with beef rendang and chicken curry sandwiche, and they were some of the best we'd ever had and we miss them desperately. We've heard that they might be putting them on the menu here at some point soon, and when they do we will be coming here very regularly. All that aside though - wonderful Malaysian food. Now let's finish that RAP. The first time I ate at Shake Shack I SPAT The first bite of Wendy's I said ew, f**k THAT And Chick-Fil-A is dry and fascist, I'm a DemoCRAT So when I go to Katy, I go to eat at PHAT! Me without Malaysian food's like Men Without HAT Barbie without Roti Canai's Ben without the RAT Carrie Underwood smashing up a truck without a BAT So when you want Malaysian, you come to PHAT!

Amazing flavors all around! My husband and I came on a Holiday Monday for lunch before heading back to Austin. The restaurant is decorated with cool signs from Malaysia and red lanterns in honor of the Lunar New Year. There's lot of seating inside and service was fantatic. For two people, we ordered the Roti Canai, Hainanese Chicken and Sizzling Tofu. WOOOW!! All had fantastic flavor. The Roti was flaky and buttery. The curry dipping was creamy, with just enough spice. The skin of the Hainanese Chicken melted in my mouth and the meat was very juice. The Sizzling Tofu, is homemade egg tofu and reminded of a very well made egg foo young. Overall, all of the flavors pair very well together. We had to get a to go box and were were very excited to eat it all again for dinner. Will definitely come back to try the curry next time. read more

Beyond excited to have a restaurant like Phat Eatery in the woodlands. There aren't many Asian restaurants with the type of cocktails and menu like Phat on the north side that we've found. They're still in a soft opening phase so menu wasn't as vast as Katy location but still - the food was awesome and the service was really good. DEFINITELY a restaurant not to be missed read more

Absolutely stellar restaurant. The service was amazing and the food was delicious+incredible. The cocktail menu was great too. I got the Roti canai w/satay skewers, omg fantastic. The roti is so fluffy and light, the curry sauce is herbal and savory. Skewers were super tender and tasty. The entire table loved both. My cousin and his girlfriend had the Beef Rendang and Mango chicken. Both were also great, beautiful flavors and spice is not overpowering. Will definitely be coming here again. The juice menu is freaking fresh amazing too!! read more

So far I've found it to be the best Malaysian restaurant in town! Their food have a very balanced taste, which I loved about it. I'm a hard core non-veg and I seldom order any veg dishes when eating out. To my surprise, here my favorite dish turned out to be their sizzling tofu! It has the right kick with nice and crispy tofu topped with the sizzling delicious gravy. This dish has got to be in my order every time I return. Also, loved their roti canay with chicken dip. Roti is soft and fluffy. Chicken dip is mild and felt very homely. So does their Malaysian chicken, its so fresh and felt homely. Sweet basil chicken has a hint of sweetness to it but good balance of sweet and savory dish. Their freshly made juices are worth trying. They have some really interesting mix of ingredients. Those are not just another sweet drink of juice. I won't say that those juices tasted the best however they seemed to be so healthy and refreshing. They are so unique and must try. read more

Once you go Malaysian that isshhhh amazing! This was my first time eating this type of food and WOW. Truthfully if this place was next to me, I'd get PHAT AF. I loved it. When you first walk in, you feel like you're in a different town! They have signs up as if you were in the streets to get street food. The bread (a special name for it but I forgot) with the curry was bussin. I honestly never had a better bread and soup combo. We definitely ordered round 2. We also got salt and pepper squid and other dishes my uncle ordered but I forgot the name. All I'm saying is none of the menu items disappointed. Service was great. read more
