    Oh why did I take so long to check this place out?! I absolutely love the vibe in here. Cool place to grab a bite or a drink as there's tons of outdoor and indoor seating. Also love their selection of shelf and refrigerated items. In the end we left with 3 different sauces which I'm excited to try. Will definitely be back!

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

    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.

    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 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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

The sea urchins one is creamy and VERY RICH. The cream sauce bend in really well with the sea urchins. But definitely not something you would order if you are on a weaker stomach. The duck udon is flavorful with plenty of meat. The soup pair perfectly with the udon as well. There was a line outside before it opened. But not too bad.

Udon noodles were good, but it was not excellent. It did have light chewy texture. BUT in comparison to Meiji Seimen, it fell short, really short! I was disappointed. BEEF BOWL It was delicious! Beef was tender and moist and loved the caramelized onion too. Rice was delicious too, not dry nor mushy. Served with pickled red ginger. A very satisfying bowl. Sat at the bar, so watched them make udon from scratch, which was nice. WAIT LIST There was a line when I got there, just as it opened. It wasn't long, but everyone wrote their name down on a wait list. There's a sheet of paper placed on the table outside. Please write your name down ASAP, as that will help in making sure that you will grab a seat. Also, the lines are disorganized too, so it's best to write down your name, so no one cuts in front of you. It is a small restaurant. Limited seats. CUSTOMER SERVICE It was okay. Everyone got in the restaurant in the order they came in. Service was quick and there were no delays in taking orders. The server came by quickly and dropped off the check as she saw that I was nearly finished with my meal. PARKING Parked at Joe's Autoparks. It was $15! I did not know until after I paid the ticket. Very difficult to find parking in this area, so not many options unless you want to walk really far, back to your car in 90 degree heat. There was another parking garage next to Joe's, but the price was the same! Would I come back again? Not sure. Given that the udon wasn't what I expected, it may be my last time here. Also, parking sucks.

We came as a group of 9 and thankfully, they allow for reservations if you are a group of 8 or bigger. Take note! Especially in this LA peak heat. We checked in with the valet and they gave us menus as we waited about 15/20 minutes for the table to be ready. You will need to order before you are seated and you cannot order anymore food once you are seated, given how popular they are, this makes plenty sense. We were seated inside with cooling AC and the restaurant is quite large inside! It could certainly have several parties in there. Soon, our galbi kalguksu, XL chicken kalguksu, tteokbeokki and XL pork jowl and pork belly bossam showed up. Everything was extra delicious and fresh. The soups in both the galbi and chicken kalguksus were amazing and the hand pulled noodles were divine. We drank and ate everything up quickly. The tteokbeokki was delicious, but too spicy so the rest of the party was able to enjoy it. The bossam was all so tender and had just enough napa and garlic to go with it along with the many unique sauces we could dip all the meats in.

It was one of my favorite spots for kalguksu, so I was excited to come back. We visited on a Saturday around 2:00 PM. The first thing that stood out was the wait. There was a line outside despite there being numerous vacant tables inside the restaurant. I'm not sure why customers were expected to wait outside, especially during the current LA heat wave, when seating appeared to be available. While waiting, we were given menus. The first thing I noticed was the price increase. The clam kalguksu is now $22.99, which felt quite expensive, even accounting for inflation. Once seated, we were served the rice with doenjang paste and the three varieties of kimchi. Unfortunately, I found almost all of the kimchi to be noticeably saltier than I remembered, with the exception of the radish kimchi, which was enjoyable. I honestly don't remember the kimchi tasting this salty in the past. It even made us wonder whether it was intended to discourage customers from requesting refills, though I hope that wasn't the case. We ordered the new beef rib kalguksu and the clam (bajirak) kalguksu. The beef rib broth was overwhelmingly salty for our taste, to the point that I mentioned it to our server. The hand-cut noodles themselves were still excellent, but I also noticed that the clam kalguksu contained significantly fewer clams than I remember from previous visits--roughly half the portion I used to receive years ago. The noodles remain well made, but it's difficult to justify the current price when the portions seem smaller and the broths are considerably saltier than before. What originally made this restaurant special to me was its fresh, clean-tasting broth, flavorful kimchi, and generous amount of clams. Unfortunately, my recent visit didn't live up to those memories. With so many excellent kalguksu restaurants in the area, I don't see myself returning. I understand that restaurants evolve and may adjust recipes to appeal to a broader customer base, especially since most of the diners during my visit appeared to be non-Korean. However, I genuinely miss the balanced flavors, generous portions, and value that made this restaurant stand out years ago.

Every time I've been there hasn't been a wait. Price (4/5): To compensate for taste I do think the price needs to be lowered a bit. The tsukemen to me was definitely worth it. Ambiance (4/5): Cute little modern shop. It won't fit many big parties but it is perfect for duos.

    Daikokuya is a long time staple of Little Tokyo, whenever I'm in town on business or vacation I…read moremake a point to visit. Their ramen noodles are always cooked perfectly (I like them a little firm) and their broths are super flavorful, their eggs cooked perfectly. I usually enjoy their spicy or black garlic broths which add extra kicks. Daikokuya can be busy throughout the day, but there servers and kitchen staff work hard to turn around orders and tables relatively quickly. Anytime is a good time for ramen from Daikokuya.

    Lucked out with not a huge wait and got to come here with a group of friends. Daikokuya is located…read moreon the perimeter of the Little Tokyo plaza and on a busy strip against other very popular ramen places. To be clear, you really can't go wrong with any of the restaurants on this street and I recommend just going with whichever one has the shortest wait when you show up. Thankfully we only had to wait about 20 minutes and got a table inside. There were 6 of us and they made us squeeze into a booth built for 4 which was a little annoying but we made it work. I ordered their signature Daikoku Ramen which was very flavorful and filling, just wish there had been more meat! My husband got the poke bowl with salmon and tuna which is a great dish for those on the protein grind. Service was mixed, they brought some dishes out immediately and then others in our group had to wait longer to get their food. Overall food was tasty and I would go back.
