Ambiance: Malaysian restaurant decorated with a street vendor & modern aesthetic perfect for lunch, a date night, or any special occasion! Their menu is expansive and there are several options for curry, rice, noodles and more. They also offer vegan/vegetarian cuisine options. There is a bar area to sit at as well as several table options. Do note that it does get crowded at peak times/weekends. Parking onsite. We enjoyed sitting in the back room with windows that overlook The Woodlands greenery. A bit on the pricey side but totally worth it for the food quality & service! Our waiter was super friendly, fast, & knowledgeable. Everyone on staff was welcoming and went out of their way to open doors & accommodate guests. Our food came out quickly despite ordering during the lunch rush. I high recommend Phat Eatery! The chicken curry was possibly some of the best curry I've ever had - especially in the area. Large portions as well, making for great leftovers. read more

I am so excited that Phat Eatery chose the Woodlands for their second location. The new location is much bigger with a clean modern look. This location has most of the same menu as the original. They are still working to add dim sum and a few more options. I love the chicken curry it's definitely a must. The roti with curry sauce was delicious. We also really enjoyed sharing one of the salads as a starter. Our server was friendly she has waited on my parents several times now. We talked with the manager on our way out about how much we love the concept. We will definitely be back soon. read more

Phat Eatery - Roti canai with curry dip - Malaysian Near Me - The Woodlands, Texas

Lovely place and amazing staff. You MUST try the roti canai, it's delicious! I had to take some to go for later. The two main dishes we ordered were the sizzling beef black pepper and the hainanese chicken. Both entrees were good but the steak was my favorite. All the portions are family style so good to share with the whole family. The staff are very welcoming and nice. I got a chance to meet the manager and he was very nice. I will definitely be back to try fries rice and the noodles. read more

A recent "immigrant" from Katy, Phat Eatery packs a ton of flavor in their take on Malaysian cuisine. With a menu full of curries, seafood, noodles, beef, chicken, rice and fresh vegetables, there's something for everyone. They don't hold back on the drinks either with unique fruit juices, mocktails, cocktails and a full bar. Service was great with new staff finishing up a weekend of training with seasoned members of the Katy crew. Imwe started the meal with a Roti Canai. Two pieces of a tortilla like bread with a curry dip. It was phenomenal. I would suggest two orders as this will disappear fast! For mains we had the beef rendang which featured incredibly tender beef in a curry with potatoes and the sizzling beef black pepper which is reminiscent of pepper beef featured at many Chinese restaurants. Both were of top quality, not too spicy for my heat adverse palate and were accompanied by rice. The juices were phenomenal too. I was fond of the blood orange/cherry drink and the watermelon/prickly pear with other unknown ingredients was dispensed of rapidly. Management has done a great job reconfiguring the building, giving it a welcoming upscale casual feel with great views. Come soon. This place is going to get hot! read more

First time trying this restaurant with friends. I made reservations via Resy and had to put a card on file. If we missed our reservation, I would be charged $15 per person. This place can be overlooked as it sits behind woods. Once you make a u-turn off of Sawdust if coming from 45 and make a right onto Grogans Mill Rd you make a left at the first entrance. The parking lot is a decent size. The dress code is casual for patrons. They have an open kitchen so you can see the cooks cooking. They have a full bar, booths, and plenty of tables. The lighting is pleasant not too dark or bright. The restrooms were clean and slightly modern. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. We had Tatiana as our waiter and I would definitely recommend her section when visiting. She gave great menu recommendations, checked on us frequently, and was pleasant to speak with. Tatiana informed us that the food is served family style. Therefore all dishes are shareable for 2-4 people. In my party it was only 3 of us and we left with plenty of leftovers. Per Tatiana's recommendations we ordered the sizzling beef black pepper with "level 2 heat", organic green beans from McAllen Tx "garlic flavor", sweet basil fried rice, coconut milk rice, kids side of chicken fried rice due to one of us having a seafood allergy, the table automatically gets a pot of white rice, and Kerabu Prawns. For drinks my friends ordered the elderbloom which they said was spicy. The Elderbloom drink was small and had one large ice cube and was $13 for a few ounces. Not worth it to me. One also tried the pink drink which she enjoyed. A glass water bottle and small glasses are placed at the table once seated and is unlimited. All of the food was amazing! Everything was well seasoned, fresh, and hot. The sizzling beef was spicy and tender and the garlic green beans were delicious. I would say those were my top two favorite things I ate that night. What I liked about the fried rice is that it came with three meats. I am curious to try other dishes when I visit again. The dishes were decently priced for the amount of food served. This place is family friendly and great for dates. Our overall bill price was $167.27. Phat Eatery has two locations. I would highly recommend this place if you are ever in Katy or The Woodlands area. read more

Blown away! Fave meal of the week! Top notch and easy five star review. They are doing everything right here! Food: the sizzling beef was sizzling! Talk about presentation! Every bite was so tender and full of flavor! Simply amazing. This was so best beef Asian dish I've ever had. Cooked to perfection. The Malaysian fried was simply amazing! How could I forget about the nan. It was so flaky and made to perfection as well. Everything was top notch and full a flavor ! The customer service was excellent. We really enjoyed the huge bay windows. Great views and great food. We will be back soon. read more

Great service along with customer service. They have a lunch menu with smaller portions but not all the items are on the lunch menu as opposed to the dinner menu. Disappointed they don't make the mango sticky rice at this location. All portions can easily be for 2 people and shared. read more

I recently visited on Saturday, and had a mixed experience. The restaurant clearly has potential, but there is definitely room for improvement. The service was okay overall. Our server did warn us that the evening would be hectic. While she seemed sweet and managed to do relatively well throughout the evening, there was one notable hiccup. Midway through my partner's order, our server abruptly put her hand in his face and exclaimed, "Oh shit! Hang on a second," before running off to deliver food to another table. Although my partner wasn't bothered, it felt unprofessional. Additionally, the MeeGoreng and Pineapple Fried Rice took an hour to reach our table. The wait was notably long, but we luckily had other dishes to keep us occupied. As for the food: When we arrived, several menu items were already unavailable, including all prawn dishes and curry chicken options, which was disappointing. However, we did manage to make up for it by ordering a variety of other dishes: Roti Canai, Satay Skewers, Calamari, Sweet Basil Chicken, Beef Rendang, Ikan Bakar, Snow Pea Leaves, MeeGoreng, and Pineapple Fried Rice. Order the Roti Canai. This is an absolute must-try. The roti bread was soft and flaky, pairing perfectly with the curry dip. It's the same, if not better, than the one at the Katy location. The Calamari was also quite flavorful. However, the rest of the menu items were decent but not particularly memorable. Ambiance: The restaurant seemed unprepared for full capacity. A few menu items were already out when we arrived, and by 7 pm, they had sold out of almost everything and had to close early. The kitchen was visibly backed up, and many of the servers were running around to manage the rush. Overall, although it was hectic, the staff seemed to manage relatively well. I'd say that the food also has potential. I recommend coming after a month or two, once they've had time to iron out some kinks and there's less of a crowd. If you decide to visit sooner, make a reservation and arrive early to avoid the lunch and dinner rush. Note: When we were paying out at the end of our meal, it was discounted 50%. It came to us as a surprise and we were very grateful. Thank you to the Phat Eatery team. Hopefully we'll see you again soon. read more

Soft Opening Alert: If you've been in the woodlands a long time you know this place is where the old Fudruckers lived. Well, now you can't even tell this was a Fudruckers. Kevin and team has transformed this place into something I never thought it would be. Not only was the atmosphere AMZING, the food was impeccable topped with too notch service. I call this a DOUBLE WINNER for the Woodlands. We didn't have not one bad thing to say about our visit. They will be opening soon but for now, at least take a look and the dishes! You won't be disappointed. Pictured: Curry Chicken Noodle Soup Calamari Mixed Skewers Roti Canai Sizzling black pepper beef Coconut Prawn Hokkien Mee Malaysian Chicken Curry read more

Found this on a lark and my oh my! Two of us had the following: Malaysian Chicken Curry, green beans, and Mee Goreng noodles. Each item was better than the one before. The green beans were phenomenal. We asked for spice level one, and indeed, the dishes were pretty mild. That allowed us to taste the various flavors, so we were not disappointed. Level two would be our max anyway. Our server, Ashley, took time to explain all of the dishes, was attentive, and very nice. Five stars! We will be back. read more

Been here twice and had an amazing experience both times. Top notch service Tania made the experience even better! All the foods and drink are delicious! The roti canai is chickem curry with naan, a perfect t appetizer. The entrees are shareable, we haven't been able to finish any of the entrees and have had to take it togo. The sizzling beef is exceptional - it's poured on a hot plate in front of you and you can see it sizzle away. The curry laska was also delicious - it's a combination of a few noodles and meats. We replaced the shrimp with curry chicken and it was mouth-watering. Can't wait to come back to this restaurant! read more

The food was fantastic, loved the sizzling beef, the chicken dish and the rice noodle dish. The bar could have been better, meaning my son ordered an old Fashion and they didn't have the bourbon that was on the menu, I ordered a pear martini and they were out of that as well. But if you like Asian food this is a must go to, even if you don't this will change your mind. read more

This was actually my fourth visit to this restaurant since they opened. We haven't been disappointed. I had lunch with a large party of ladies. The service was spot on, and they happily provided us with separate checks. I ordered the Malaysian Fried Rice that is a favorite and I ordered the salt and pepper mushrooms to try something new. It wasn't what I imagined and was a type of mushroom I had never had before. It was very flavorful, but I didn't enjoy the texture, it was a bit chewy. The servings were large so there was a lot of sharing, and we all got to sample multiple dishes. Everything was freshly prepared. Eating here is an adventure. read more

Our waitress was awesome and food was great! Very flavorful! We had a party of 10 reserved... a few teens with the bunch! It was great. Not only nostalgic for me and my husband as we used to be the annoying pre-teens who ordered bread and hung out at this place when it was Fuddruckers but knowing the transformation to the Phat Eatery preserved the structure inside and closed outdoor space was pretty cool.

This place is excellent.. quality ingredients and very well prepared dishes. Portions are sizable and ideal for sharing. We will be going back quite often. read more

Amazing food. Pro tip: go before 6pm and order off the happy hour menu? Portions are smaller (and cheaper) so you can try a lot of different things. Don't miss the cold shrimp appetizer, sizzling beef, and the sizzling egg tofu. Spectacular fried rice, too. Get a house salad to give your taste buds a break in between flavor bombs. Highly recommended. read more

Came here with a group for a bday dinner. None of us had been here before, but we were all intrigued. We started with the bread and dipping sauce that is pretty popular there, and it was amazing. The bread is almost cresant flakey, and the sauce was flavorful without being spicey. We also had the calamari and chicken skewers which were also tasty. For my main course I had the chicken curry. The dish was massive and could easily be split between two or three people. It was not spicy at all (I asked for mild) but extremely flavorful and satisfying. I would get this a million more times. I also had one of their cocktails (Pink Rabbit) and enjoyed it immensely. I can't wait to come back here already! The only complaint I have is that the chairs were very uncomfortable. The food, drinks, and service are wonderful! read more

This fun casual spot offers an outstanding selection of Asian and Malaysian dishes themed around street foods. A visit totally took me back to living in Singapore and eating at the car parks and hawker centers. Generous quantites, reasonable prices and great variety. Roti Canai and calamari made for a great starter to a main of Char Kway Teow. Very frienly and helpful staff accomodated our unplanned largish group and were great with suggestions forbore unfamiliar with the cuisine. Being quite authentic, one note on their heat scales. I like spicy food, and normally happily enjoy a 4/5 heat scale, when the server described their 5 as Ghost Pepper, I chose to go for a 3, "Thai hot" which was great for me but a bit much for some folks in the group. Consider stepping down a notch unless you're a real Scoville seeker. Anxious to go back and explore more of the menu read more

Second time we tried to eat here but so poorly managed they can't figure out how to seat people when they have tons of open tables. Last time they wanted us to wait 20 min when empty because not enough servers. Hostess so dim it is painful. Back room is so bright and loud it is awful. Won't go again. Not sure how this place will survive unless they can get a better manager read more

Good food, nice size portions, a little pricey, attentive staff, close seating, lots of choices.

I kept reading the wonderful reviews and decided to check this place out. So glad I did. My family and I ordered Malaysian rice 5/5 , roti canai 5/5 chicken skewers 5/5 chili prawn 5/5 and beef rangdan 5/5. Husband had and old fashioned and I had some elderberry drink. Drinks were ok but food was amazing and customer service was amazing. We plan to be back. Another great thing about this place is that it has its own parking lot. read more

Yes please! So let me start with the wait of 45 minutes was well worth it! It's the new hype in The W, so I totally get it. Then our waiter Paolo was super duper attentive and explained some of the items we ordered. He was so helpful and patient with us. Then our food came very shortly and I think we hit the jackpot with these four items. The sizzling beef was so good (according to my daughter coz I don't eat red meat), the Malaysian chicken curry was so tasty, the noodles and Malaysian fried rice topped with egg was done beautifully. Each entree was presented very traditionally and neatly. Oh boy, I think we found a gem here at The W! read more

I heard this place was opening soon in the woodlands area and was excited to not have to drive down into Katy for it. We were surprisingly able to get a table for five for dinner on a weekend night, and ordered maybe too much food (but it made for great leftovers!). I got the pink rabbit cocktail (so good), roti canai to start (the curry dip is coconut-based), and the mango chicken (comes with rice). Everything on the menu looked good but sadly I only have one stomach so I'll just have to return! read more

Finally got to try this place. Order just a few things so my review is limited. The ambiance was great! We got seated all the way at the back with the view overlooking the woods which was awesome. Service was amazing. Very efficient and food came out fast. Food wise I only tried three things and have mixed reviews: Roti: amazing! 10/10 Beef Rendang: 7/10. The beef was great and I love that it came with a generous serving of white jasmine rice. The down side was the potatoes were a bit undercooked. Maybe it was just a manic monday so ill give this a try again next time. Curry Laksa: 6/10. I have had laksa in the passed in different asian restaurants and this wasnt what I was expecting. I imagined a thicker creamier broth while this one was runny. I didnt expect two different kinds of noodles too. Maybe this is what a true laksa would be? My husband enjoyed it though he wouldve wanted it spicier. Cant wait to go back and try the other dishes read more

Service - mixed - everything was well handled once we got attention of our server, but that was challenging at times to do in such a large restaurant. Little buzzers would help. Food - so we lived in Singapore for a few years as a reference point. I would say this is a little "american malay" in certain places. It was best at the local noddle dishes however. So if authentic is what you crave - try those. Also the dim sum was excellent and so well made/served. Interior - very mixed. almost fast food restaurant. Love the trees and size however!! (miss ya fuddruckers) But my real question - who is the target? Asians or "non-asians"? Also a bit pricey for what we get - but suppose that is the price of finally getting some asian food in The Woodlands! I wish them great success and will be back. read more

Food is pretty good, but I've been to better Malaysian restaurants. Price is decent. Service is top notch. Driver's are very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Probably the best factor in our dining experience. Ambience is very creative and inviting. The building is in a cool setup with its own building and parking lot. 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

Cool atmosphere with a modern street-style vibe, a semi-open kitchen, a chill bar, and a bright back seating area with large windows offering a partial view. The restaurant and lot are encased by trees, creating a relaxing vibe. Bonus points for a real printed menu--no device needed to pick your meal! Sorry, zOmBieS... Service was solid, with a friendly bartender and attentive staff. The Award-Winning Beef Rendang was delicious, and the poached Hainanese Chicken was perfectly cooked. Portions were fair, and the food wasn't heavily oiled up. Highly recommend for authentic Malaysian cuisine and a laid-back dining experience. read more

We loved this place. As soon as you walk in the set up is like an Asian street set up. So cute. We were reminiscing when it was Fuddruckers years ago. We shared many memories when the kids were very little from Saturday night out dinner to youth ball game gatherings. My children are adults now so they enjoyed sharing memories sitting to the back of the restaurant. They have done a great job with the ambiance. We really liked how everything was served by dish. Real family gathering time; sharing meals. We pretty much ordered almost everything on the menu. The food was fresh and very flavorful. They did great because it's hard finding great tasting food in the woodlands (speaking from a real home cook check out @504cookhouse). We really experienced something different. We were open to broadening our palate's. The waiteress was probably one of the best I have ever had. She was very knowledgeable in the menu. The star dishes for us were the prawns. Next was the roti and the sizzling beef ( so good). While I have never had roti this bread was epic. The presentation of the food was absolutely beautiful. The waiteress also shared what they will be adding to the menu next month. And of course we will be back. FYI you have to make reservations ahead of time but it is casual dress. It really felt like we were eating in a home dining room. Which I love for family gatherings. read more

Their food?! Amazing! Their drinks- my favorite. They are so kind and always check to see if we need refills.

I have heard great things about Phat Eatery, and couldn't resist trying this new location. The restaurant was pretty spacious with lots of parking. Being fresh to the woodlands area, it was still pretty busy. However, even at full capacity, my food arrived at a timely matter and was just as delicious as expected. The cocktails were just as tasty with the perfect balance of sweetness. On the contrary, minor request were forgotten by staff - but nothing too major to reiterate - overall, great experience. read more
