    Stopped in because we were nearby at a Yelp Elite event and we were hungry. It was late afternoon on a Sunday and we were the only diners. We were greeted promptly and friendly as we walked in and were provided a small pitcher of water and some edamame as we sat down. We looked over the menu and decided to stick with the skewer offerings and added the smashed cucumber salad as an appetizer. The salad was delicious, but we really have not ever had a cucumber salad we didn't like. We're just cucumber folks. For the skewers we selected lamb, beef, beef tendon, shrimp, pork belly, bacon wrapped mushrooms, scallops, a choy, Chinese buns, and as a last minute edition, lamb kidney. We try to order something we've never had before when the opportunity presents itself and in this case the beef tendon and lamb kidney were our "new" selections. Over all the smashed cucumber salad was the best part of our meal. All the meat skewers were over cooked and the Chinese buns really didn't have any flavor (but they were a nice texture). I ended up dipping them in the dressing of the cucumber salad. The a choy and bacon wrapped mushrooms were are next favorites. The pricing was less expensive than other Asian skewer restaurants we've been to, but we wish the meats had been prepared better. When taking photos, we started out good, but forgot to keep taking snapshots as the skewers kept coming out. I guess our hunger took over.

    Hibachi squid

    Tastes great as usual! I like the crispy chicken skin, fried bun, hibachi squid, enoki mushroom and bacon, hibachi cabbage, hibachi potato, and the oil noodles.

    Been here a few times after midnight. Today went for actual dinner ! Food is always good. I like the lamb screwer a lot . The sauces and powdered seasonings elevate the flavors of the meats !! Fast and prompt serve anytime of day !!

    36. Beef Noode Soup

    The food here was honestly so good. I thought the price for the food was honestly not bad. What's crazy is that I didn't even know there was a sauce bar until after finishing most of our skewers but it was so good without it that I definitely have to some again for the sauce. I do have to say the chicken here was SUPER tender. The chicken in the noodle soups just melted in my mouth. I got the Spicy and the Regular but the spicy one was so good. Even the noodles were fire! The only thing we didn't really like were the Chinese buns because although it had that chargrilled taste, there was also a burnt taste that was super prominent. The buns were bad but they weren't as good as we thought they would be. The service was good and honestly the skewered came out pretty fast! I thought the whole restaurant was super lively and it's definitely a great late night spot after or for drinks. Our table didn't get any but the beer towers were HUGE and for the price I think they are well worth it. Come check this place out because it's one of the only spots open till late in the area!

    Came here for lunch on a Wednesday and it was basically empty. I really enjoyed just about everything! I got the lamb, beef, chicken, pork belly, mushroom, and Chinese bun skewers. Everything is seasoned with the same dry rub that is very cumin heavy (which I usually associate with Hispanic food rather than Chinese so it was a surprising flavor but good!) I definitely recommend exploring the sauce bar they have to dip everything in. The highlight for me was the Soy Bean Paste noodles which were actually recommended by my server. They were insanely good with some ground beef and veggies. The bowl is either a giant meal for one person or good to share with the table. The lowlight was the beef noodle soup. The broth was not super flavorful and it was more noodle than meat or mushroom. The place is nice inside! And our server was great I appreciated his help navigating the menu and all the food came out very quickly. It was also extremely reasonable for the price. If you want to see them hand pull the noodles you can sort of watch from ur seat looking at the kitchen but they don't do it at your table (maybe unless you ask).

    Meat skewers
    Hoa L.

    We went to Fat Ni on a weekend evening. I ordered lamb, pork belly and chicken skewers. The food was mediocre as the meat needed to be more tenderized. It was chewy and hard at one point, especially the chicken. However the vegetables skewers turned out to be pretty good. The chives and mushroom skews are flavorful with their special house seasoning. The noodles was ok. The chili oil from sauce bar helps me with seasoning this dish. Service was meh as expected.

    beef skewer
    Vian N.

    chill chinese style skewer spot ! you order per stick, and there's free cold edamame at the beginning of your meal every skewer kinda tasted similar with the five spice seasoning, and i wish they would adapt each skewer to its own unique flavor profile for the most part the season worked well!! my favorite was the squid! so chewy and addicting. i also tried the chicken gizzards, beef, and pork belly, ranked in that order! my friend had their chinese sausage and toasted buns which were both GREAT! a little expensive but enjoyable for a light meal

    Solid Chinese BBQ chain with plenty of meat and veggie kebabs. Tenderness varied a little bit on the meat kebabs but they all had a nice spicy cumin flavor. Our favs were the Lamb, Pork Belly, and Eggplant. Def great for a late-night setting!

    Spicy lamb skewers
    Temina C.

    I couldn't stop thinking about the lamb skewers so I had to come back! They were fantastic!! The shrimp skewers were good as well but it was hard to peel the shells off. Service is always quick and exceptional! On a Saturday evening it's as busy as the parking lot but the quality of the food was still the same which was FANTASTIC!! Can't wait to go back!

    To start off, the food is a 5/5 for me. My sister would argue otherwise but I really like this place. The issue is with the service. There is one older lady who works there who is extremely rude. My mom and I went to eat here after a long flight back from Chicago, and when we got seated we had to wait so long for a waiter to come over to us. Not once do they check on you, they just set your food down and cross out the order on the sheet. We had to go up to pay since no one would come over when we raised our hands for the check. Also for to go boxes, just grab it yourself because they take forever.

    This is a picture of the lady who served us horrible nasty disgusting attitude zero out of 10. I do not recommend this place.

    1 Star I came here with a friend and had a terrible experience from the moment we walked in. As soon as we entered, the lady at the front was extremely rude -- she literally yelled at us to sit at a specific table. We sat down, looked over the menu, and realized no one cared to explain anything to us. When I finally called her over to ask a simple question about the menu, she caught the nastiest attitude and made it seem like I was bothering her. Her tone was so rude that even my friend's jaw dropped. We decided to stay only because we were really hungry and didn't have anywhere else to go. The food was mediocre at best -- some dishes were just strange, and the beef soup I ordered had absolutely no flavor. Overall, the experience was uncomfortable, unwelcoming, and disappointing. Definitely a 0/10 and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

    Prices reasonable for the amount of food!

    Interesting and good introduction to Chinese BBQ. Had a large selection of meat skewers, noodle dishes and breads. While some things were better than others, all things were great. While we ordered everything up front, it would have been nicer if the skewers were brought out over time instead of in large groups. It ended up that many were cold by the time we ate them. There was a portable grill on each table but, if it was intended to keep the skewers warm as I had seen in some YouTube vids, that was not offered to us. Some of the meats were very difficult to remove from the skewers especially after they cooled. My favorite was the lamb. The kidney, heart and gizzard were less enjoyable than expected. Noodles were unique. Preferred them in the soup rather than dry / stir fry. The Pita Bread preferred over the Chinese buns. Smashed cucumbers were tasty. Be aware there is a "sauce bar" where you can get spices / sauces for the meats... another thing we had to figure out on our own. Overall a good experience.

    Chicken heart skewer
    Yurie H.

    Casual BBQ/skewer place with fast service! Fat Ni BBQ is located in a mall with plenty of other Asian stores. My friends and I came around 4 PM so it wasn't crowded at all, inside is spacious with multiple table seatings. The menu has various skewer options, noodles, rice, and drinks. Each table gets complimentary edamame beans. We weren't too hungry so we order 1-2 skewers per person. I got the chicken heart skewer ($2.50). My skewer had good amount of meat on it, well cooked and not overly salty. Overall solid Chinese BBQ place with good skewer and relaxed atmosphere. Would love to try the other skewers and beer tower my next visit!

However, when this was brought to the owner's attention, he didn't apologize but instead tried to guilt me, the customer, with, "Aw, you didn't like my catfish?" The staff at the register showed him the catfish and I directly told him it was inedible and explained why. His response? "That's ok. You're not hurting my feelings." It wasn't personal and it's weird that he tried to make it about him. I doubt a single soul wants to eat rubbery catfish. A simple apology would have gone a lot further.
