Fat Ninja Bite is open every day for lunch and dinner and closed on Tuesdays. They are located on Kennedy Road near Steeles Avenue, at the corner where the Petro gas station is and also conveniently located across from Pacific Mall. You can't miss it! However, when you go there, you will have to try your luck at getting a parking spot because their parking lot is very tiny (unless of course you are walking or taking public transit to get there)! During the busy lunch or dinner hours, you may want to just park across the street at Pacific Mall's parking lot and walk over. In fact, this is what B had to do because when she arrived, there were no more spots left.
I arrived at 1 p.m. first and like others have noted in reviews, there are only eight spots for dine-in at a long table with stools facing the parking lot. However, the space inside was very bright, clean, and spacious. Immediately when I walked in, Sunny, the owner/staff of the establishment welcomed me with a cheery "Hi!"
The bag of Taro Chips was much talked about on instagram and was $3 per bag. They were quite good (and addicting)!
This was definitely the best Chicken Katsu Burger that I've ever had. The Chicken Katsu was breaded lightly and fried perfectly to a crisp yet its meat was so tender and juicy and perfectly flavoured. It was amazing. The Chicken Katsu, as you can see from the photo, was so large that it extended beyond the size of the burger and across the table. It was monstrous for sure!
This Chicken Katsu Burger came with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and cabbage and there was a side of coleslaw on the side. It tasted so good with these toppings and the sauce was the perfect amount too. The coleslaw was very crunchy and fresh with just the right amount of tarty dressing. Again, all around amazing!
The Don Katsu Stir Fried Noodles (you could order this in soup too) contained a plate of Don Katsu and a rectangular container of stir fried udon with vegetables (carrots and cabbage). The Don Katsu was also perfectly breaded and fried here but I thought that the chicken katsu tasted better in terms of being more smooth and tender. The pork was a little more coarse for me but I still thought it was one of the better katsus out there. To my surprise, the stir fried udon was also really tasty. Although it looked so ordinary, the udon noodles were smooth and firm and had just enough sauce to cover each strand and the veggies. It was a good portion as well.
We came hungry so we definitely finished everything even though the portions were so generous. I believe that if I had arrived any other day, I might not have finished everything by myself.
For dessert, the flavour of the day was sweet potato soft serve so once it was prepared, Sunny brought the dessert out to us. It was a Sweet Potato Soft Serve Parfait that looked so nice with perfectly swirled soft serve ice cream, copious amounts of Rice Krispies on the bottom, and matcha and chocolate Pocky sticks to top it off.
The texture, look, and consistency of the soft serve reminded me of the soft serve at Wooffles & Cream being that it was very smooth, didn't melt easily, and tasted very creamy. There was a little bit of sweet potato flavour but not very strong. We thought it tasted a little vanilla-y too. However, I really still really enjoyed it. I liked the ice cream's smoothness, creaminess, and slight sweetness. The Rice Krispies at the bottom of the cup were a wonderful addition of crunchiness to the dessert too. Overall, a really satisfying dessert! read more
