It's kind of hilarious that I've actually mistaken this place for another place. I had to double take to make sure it was the right one because I remembered it being somewhere else. But I was glad I came to this place. Love the atmosphere. It was energetic, a bit loud, and has a cooled retro night bar with neon signs. The alcohol display behind the bar was a spectacular view/design. It's high, making it looking pretty against the dim backdrop. We ordered four dishes, Dan Dan Mian, sichuan eggplant, chili wonton, and duck bao. The Dan Dan was unique. I didn't expect it to be spicy like all the other ones I've tried. But it was amazing! All of them were! Reservations are strongly recommended since it gets filled up pretty easily. Lastly, I want to give our waiter, Peter, a huge shoutout for being so attentive and engaging. He was on top of it! Great energy and very friendly. read more

Little Fatty has been on my list and I took my chance when I was recently in the area. The restaurant does not have a parking lot but metered parking in the front that ends at 8pm during weekdays. The restaurant was pretty empty on that Tuesday night. There must have been 3-4 parties. That night the hostess divided diners and bar patrons between the "two rooms" (the restaurant has a bar in the middle that divided the room.) We let the hostess know that we were a party of two and she seated us between two large groups in the "other" room. It was weird seating to say the least. Our table was at the curve or the booth seating and was too close to another seated party. You needed to squeeze in to get to the booth seat and my +1 volunteered to scoot in a tight pathway. Because we were between the two groups, it was extremely loud. The restaurants aesthetic is really hip. I don't remember the space at the entrance, but the room that we were in had an eye catching mural and the booth area that we were seated in made a face (with the wall being a pair of eyes and the two long booth seats meeting to make a nose.) Unfortunately, lighting was very low and I could barely see the dishes for the second half of the meal. Food was tasty. We ordered the XO fatty noodle (no bean sprouts), orange chicken and Sichuan eggplant. Everything came out hot once they were ready. I had to hold back from eating all of the orange chicken. The XO noodles, not sure if it was because we customized the dish, was too salty though.. Staff were calm to expressionless. Person who came for the bill was wiping our table while we were packing our leftovers. I didn't appreciate how they stayed with us when we were paying on their handheld machine. Overall, I enjoyed the food, but did not have the best dine in experiences. read more

Giving it two stars because we got kicked out of our table barely two hours in dinner on a weeknight for another reservation. Speaking on the food, we got the fatty noodles and hainian chicken which were super incredibly delicious. The staff were incredibly attentive and walked around refilling our waters. I loved it and was thinking of bringing family and friends but getting rushed out was not appreciated at all. read more

This review is based just on picking up a to go dessert order. We ordered the sesame balls and mango sticky rice. Loved the sesame balls and would 100% order them again. The sticky rice was just okay but it surprisingly was lacking in flavor so doubt I'd opt to try it again. Still want to try out their fit and for a dine in experience! read more

I went there to order take out. They take your order on the curb, and then there's a take out window for window. It only took about 10 minutes which was nice. Parking was easy with plenty of metered parking out front. The Dan Dan Mian had interesting thick wavy noodles, almost like lasagne noodles sliced up. The sauce was unique yet good. The chili wontons were just okay, and probably not the best for take out as it got kind of soggy. The standing was surprisingly the Asian Greens. It had garlic and was very flavorful. It's a little pricey, especially the won tons. read more

We picked up food to go from Little Fatty. See the photos to see what we ordered. Everything was hot and tasty.

See you next time. read more

I've heard good things about Little Fatty and the Accompliace Bar cocktail menu from several people and finally had a chance to check it out. The drinks rotate and I was bummed that I didn't get a chance to try the Ube martini. I got the All Betts are off which is made is guava infused mazcal and it was pretty strong. The smokiness from the mazcal and a hint of fruit gave this drink a unique taste. I will definitely order it again. I also had the bad bunny, I expected it to be slightly sweet from the orange and carrot foam but it was also made with mazcal, and the smokiness took over. Still good, but not what I was expecting. Another person got the Big Strawbowski and she said it was really thick, it had brandy in it and said it tasted like a dessert cocktail. She also had the Fast Car which was mostly ice. She seemed to like it. Apps: the crispy wontons were cooked perfectly. Had a good favor and one of my favorite dish of the night. The squid Ink Xiao long baos were ok, but we let it sit a little too long and it was cold and chewy by the time we actually ate it. So the flavors were ok, it didn't really stand out to me. Mains: the garlic noodles dish did not taste like garlic noodles. I honestly didn't even taste the garlic, but maybe because as a garlic lover, I over use garlic in every thing haha. The orange chicken was also decent, it was light, perfectly sticky and tasty. The walnut shrimp was also decent, well battered and had a nice flavor. Our server was very nice and answered all the questions we had, me from inquiring about the drinks to my friend's dietary restrictions. The resturant itself was trendy and a nice place for good drinks and decent food. I want to go back and try the Hainan Chicken! read more

Finally made it here. Excellent meal and hip vibes. Growing up I could never imagine a hipster restaurant bar that serves Taiwanese classics in West LA. The Taiwanese food is legit with a slight fusion touch. They don't overdo it so everything still tastes like the originals except with their spin on it. My favorite was the beef rolls and green beans. Japanese highball is addictive. I can drink it all night. I would give it five stars if the prices were just a tad lower. Great service. Will be back. read more

Little Fatty is a trendy Taiwanese fusion restaurant in Mar Vista serving up great drinks and food! I stopped by with a friend on a weekday for dinner and we made a reservation ahead of time, although it seemed there were plenty of reservation slots available. Ambiance is stylish and dim inside, and it started to get quite loud inside. Service was attentive throughout our meal. What we tried: - Beef roll ($22) - with scallion pancake wrapped around wagyu beef, chili mayo, served with a side of beef broth. I loved this one, every bite was a burst of flavors and textures and the combination was so tasty! - Squid ink Xiao long bao ($18) - shrimp and pork dumplings, these were good but pretty standard compared to other XLB I've had - 3 cup chicken ($21) - made with garlic, ginger, green onion, Thai basil, dried chili. The chicken was so tender and the dish super garlicky which I loved. Goes well with rice, but is a bit on the salty side - XO fatty noodles ($20) - rolled chow fun with bean sprouts, garlic chives, and XO sauce. Amazingly garlicky and savory, and I just love the texture of the rolled chow fun Definitely a solid neighborhood spot I find myself coming back to! Metered or neighborhood parking. read more

Wow. This place is awesome. I ordered the 2 for 1 of the Wagyu Pho Bahni and it didn't disappoint. So very good. I only wish that this place existed when I lived in Mar Vista. I'd definitely reorder from here. The 2 for 1 special was very well worth it. The only thing I do wish, is that I could mix and match (IE pay the Wagyu Pho Bahni price and get the 2nd as the Lemongrass Chicken - $1 cheaper, as the 2nd). Thank you! read more

Sat at the bar and had a great experience. The drinks were innovative and really well prepared, and the bartenders were attentive without ever feeling overbearing or like they were hovering. I ordered the dan dan myun noodles and General Tso's cauliflower. Overall, Little Fatty puts some fun, gastro pub style spins on classic Chinese dishes. The space is moody and intimate, making it a fun spot for a date night or drinks and small bites. I found the dishes to be a little on the sweeter side for my taste. Personally, I'd recommend it more as a place to grab a few small plates and drinks rather than somewhere to go for a full meal. read more

Little Fatty is an Asian fusion restaurant that specializes in Taiwanese soul food. David Kuo is the chef and owner of Little Fatty. The restaurant was previously called Status Kuo and then rebranded to Little Fatty. It is also attached to a bar called Accomplice Bar. [Parking]: Metered parking only and I was able to find a spot two blocks away on Grand View Blvd. [Reversation]: For parties of 6 and smaller, reservations can be made on Resy. For parties of 8 and larger, there is a minimum spend of $75 per person prior to tax & gratuity. No-show fee = $15 per person. [Experience]: The receptionist greeted our party just outside of the restaurant and checked us in. Outdoor tables were available, but our party opted for indoor seating. The lighting was dim with a romantic and casual dinner vibe. At the end of the meal, the staff offered our table hot towels to clean our hands. [Menu]: Menu highlights on Resy include Chinese BBQ Pork, XO Fatty Noodles, Walnut Shrimp. Other Yelp highlighted items include Orange Chicken, Beef Roll, and Hainan Chicken. Burger Tuesday is offered ONLY at the bar. A bowl of rice is an extra $4.00. The staff also gave our table a cute cocktail menu with drinks named after each LA neighborhood. *** Squid Ink Xiao Long Bao (shrimp and pork soup dumplings, fresh ginger - $18.00): Only came with 6 pieces of dumplings. The dough was a bit thick and the flavor was just alright. XO Fatty Noodles (rolled rice noodles, XO sauce, bean sprouts, garlic chives, fried shallots - $22.00): The noodles tasted slightly salty. I couldn't tell whether I had sliced pork belly or flat noodles in the dim lighting and it turned out to be thick slices of flat noodles. Orange Chicken (orange soy-based sauce, dried chilies, orange zest - $22.00): Super crispy orange chicken, but it was crunchy type of crispy and tasted a bit dry. Walnut Shrimp (mayo, candied walnuts, sesame seeds, red cabbage - $25.00): his dish came with lettuce and looked really nice. The flavor was solid and it tasted very healthy. *** Personally it was an overpriced experience for mediocre Asian fusion food. I would much rather visit Jade Rabbit in Santa Monica for cheaper and more delicious Asian fusion food or Din Tai Fung in Santa Monica for a more consistent dumpling and noodle experience. The only reason to come here is for the date-night vibe. Honestly, the food tasted more like Northern Chinese fusion cuisine than Taiwanese fusion cuisine. read more

This place has all the elements of a great Taiwanese/Chinese restaurant. We went here based on yelp ratings and it did not disappoint. Food & Drink: We were in a big group so got to try a few items. My favorites were scallion pancakes, beef chow fun, sichuan eggplant, and xo fatty noodles. They have a great selection of cocktails and all are so good. I loved the Apple martini and their old-fashioned. Ambiance: We were seated outside so didn't get much of the indoor seating's flavor. Service: We walked in on a Sunday evening but it was quite busy. It took us about 45 mins ot get seated. Once seated the food and drinks came out quickly. The waitstaff was very sweet and attentive. In-all: This place has become one of my go-tos for LA. Highly recommend. read more

What a pleasant surprise the moment you walk in! The ambiance was cozy and clean. I love the decor and set up and color choices of everything there. We had Stacy as our server and she was amazing. 5/5 for all the drinks we tried. They rotate their menu every now and then so it just sounds like I'll have to come back this way at some point when they do that again! Every flavor was well thought out and very well balanced. Food was a 3.5-4/5. This portion of my review is coming from a place deep in my heart where I grew up eating down to the bones authentic Chinese food. This wasn't it. The scallion pancakes were delicious! - but Southern China actually doesn't really do that much . The chili wontons were good. But they are different than the ones you'll order at most other Asian places. They use the full soup type of wonton to put in the chili oil/sauce. The squid ink xiao long bao was either not fresh or overcooked. The texture of the wrap was soggy. First bite of my shaking beef was amazing! And then the table next to us asked them for a knife because the meat was tough. I disagreed in my mind until I took my second bite of meat. - and it took me about 5 solid minutes of chewing before I could actually eat it. Also over salted. I think the hainanese chicken was what I am so sad over. Whaaaat happeneddddd? The dip was the best part. First, the chicken was warm. Should be cold.. The chicken was tender but it was more soft than silky so it seemed over cooked rather than slow poached. And it almost tasted like they used curry instead of tumeric - To include on the rice. I thought the rice was fine so I took it to go and fed it to my kid but then he asked me to put soy sauce on it . Sesame balls were good. Smaller than what I'm use to seeing but they have a good portion of it. Enough of the food critic snob that I've become. I would come here again. Mainly for their cocktails. They have some really great flavors. But I'll need to adjust my expectations for on the Chinese food. read more

After a trip to Taiwan, all I craved was Taiwanese food for weeks. Being further from SGV has made options sparse as well. I found Little Fatty and it was helpful in satisfying my Taiwanese food craving for a bit. Items that stood out for me the most were the vegetables, mapo tofu, and the sesame balls. All pretty tasty and good for Taiwanese fusion. Their beef noodle soup and scallion pancakes were fine, but I felt the soup for the BNS was much saltier than it should be, and the scallion pancakes lacked traditional flavors. I also got garlic noodles for fun, and while it was tasty and I probably wouldn't order it again. The service there was fantastic! Everyone was very friendly and the food came out quickly! I think that if you're looking for a yummy bar for drinks as well as more fusion Taiwanese (with more emphasis on the Fusion) this is the place to check out! They do have a full bar there and the place is def a vibe. For me, I'll keep on my search for more traditional Taiwanese flavors! read more

Pretty good! Some of the dishes were hits, some were okay. Service was great! A little pricey, but also understandable I came with a large group and we ordered a bunch of different dishes. Cucumbers, Scallion Pancake, Beef Rolls, Orange Chicken, Mapo Tofu, Sichuan Eggplant, Wontons, Dan Dan Mian, Beef Chow Fun, Garlic Noodles, and some ice cream for dessert. Standouts: Scallion Pancake (simple, yet delicious), Orange Chicken (done well, crispy, sweet and savory) , Cucumbers (so flavorful, loved these cucumbers), and Sichuan Eggplant (I loved the flavor and I love eggplant, but it was pretty greasy). The dishes that I thought I would enjoy more were the Beef Rolls and the Mapo Tofu. Noodle dishes were solid. Overall, some missed the mark on flavor and I found a lot of the dishes to be pretty oily. The ice cream was mid and pretty skippable. It was also December so I ordered their alcoholic hot chocolate. You could either put Chartreuse or Tequila in the hot chocolate, so I opted for Chartreuse since I did NOT want tequila in my dessert drink. I don't think Chartreuse ended up being a good choice for the hot chocolate as it ended up being too herbal for the drink. I didn't think it was the right flavor combinations. The hot chocolate overall was pretty good, just not the right alcohol. read more

Not even sure why the word "Little" is even in the name--there is nothing "little" about this place. The food is tremendous; the drinks are spectacular; the staff and bartenders are even larger than life. Oh, it's a whole vibe at Little Fatty! We were visiting from the east coast, and decided to frequent my west coat brother's favorite watering hole. Boy, did he make a good suggestion! Matt and Jason are his favorite bartenders--and I understand why. They are attentive and even artistic with their cocktail presentations. Jason schooled us on the varying kinds of tequila, and we learned about the purity of true tequila and how it differs from a mezcal. Then, when we switched to bourbon, whiskey, and scotch. Jason introduced us to Adam. Adam was amazing! He knows his browns! We left with a plethora of knowledge about several elusive brands, and we can't wait to find a bottle or two soon as we get home. We could have sat there all night just discussing the levels and intricacies of liquor. The only thing that paled to the cocktail conversations was the food! Simply put, it was spectacular. We dined and shared orange chicken, fatty noodles, and the most moist and flavorful pork shank we ever had. This is a MUST VISIT kind of establishment. Trust me, it will soon become your new favorite watering hole too! read more

Didn't realize this was more of a "bar scene" than it was just a good restaurant. At least on a Saturday night. I say this because we were just looking for a good Chinese restaurant to go to. And the fact that they have hainan chicken and mapo tofu on their menu was enough to get me to drive 30 minutes to the westside for a decent meal. Everything we ordered was great, the hainan chicken & rice, garlic noodles and the bbq pork shank. That pork shank was a last-minute eye hungry impulsive choice. So much so that I didn't notice the $42 price tag. Was it worth it? No. But it was delicious and became leftovers for me! I don't understand the excess in pricing of Hainan chicken at $22 when you can have the finest authentic ones for half the price in Alhambra/San Gabriel. But I understand the markups for hipster spots. But is it justifiable? Not so sure. The pork shank is gorgeous and shareable. And it was delicious! The 4 stars is for the excellent service. There was no way we were going to be seated at 7:45pm on a Saturday night without a reservation. But they suggested the bar and we were seated right away. A typical negative for me is parking, and it's street meter parking only, unless you want to pay the much higher parking rates in the post office's public parking lot across the street, which would've been 11 bucks that I'd rather pay to a valet. I grew up in this neighborhood, and it's nice to see places like this here now. it's clearly a popular place because of the long lineup waiting to be seated. If you're looking for a place with a bar, good food and loud ambiance, this is your place. But if you're looking to just have a good meal at a good Chinese restaurant, maybe don't go here to take up bar space for others who just wanna have a drink, a date, or a celebration. It's that type of place, Otherwise, they have a takeout window. Good place for food and drinks with friends, but maybe just order takeout if you just wanna have good Chinese food that's on the pricier side. read more

This was a lovely dinner but having heard so many good things about this place over the years, we had slightly higher expectations.. Over all the food was delicious!

So helpful and knowledgeable about the menu and had a great personality too. Their craft cocktail menu was super creative with clever names for the drinks. We ordered a Bad Bunny and Moon Petal. Both had great presentations and were wonderful. The "must have" food items were the squid ink dumplings and the Duck Baos. They were over the top delicious. We ordered a couple other items that were wonderful but the squid ink and the duck stole the show for us. Can't wait to go back. read more

Sometimes you just wanna like a place too much. Been looking a Little Fatty for a little bit then the opportunity opened up and pitched to the family by showing them a really tasty sounding menu. Unfortunately it sounded much better than the end result. Now I will preface, every restaurant has a bad night, restaurants are run by humans and shit happens. On this particular evening, we tried a lot of food, the only thing that was really memorable was the cucumber salad because it was seasoned well. I won't get specific on dishes, but I will say in general, everything needed more seasoning or spice. We got one thing that on the menu said spicy and it was anything but. We were all disappointed because the food prep was good, just not seasoned and for an Asian restaurant that's a miss for me. I'd say try it yourself, it might be perfect for you,, but not sure I'll be going back. read more

Little Fatty is a casual, modern fusion powerhouse that invites a diverse range of perspectives, flavors, and ideas into a common space. I enjoyed the contemporary asian flavors of the dishes which really highlights the reality of LA culture. Our party ordered the pad thai, pad see ew, and papaya salad. To my surprise, these dishes tasted unauthentic and bland. However, I enjoyed the tanginess and freshness of the papaya salad. The red bean sesame balls were extremely good, and I would come back for that item alone. read more

I was very disappointed with my experience. The orange chicken was bland, and I've had much better at other restaurants. The XO fatty noodles were just okay, and I wouldn't order them again. The walnut shrimp had way too much mayo, which completely overpowered the dish. I was also surprised that none of the meals came with steamed rice, and having to pay extra made an already expensive meal even pricier. Overall, the food was flavorless and overpriced. I wouldn't come back. read more

We flew into LAX and didn't really feel like messing with the traffic so we decided to go have dinner. My son wanted Chinese so I randomly pick this place based off of the reviews. The restaurant was busy when it came to reservations so the hostess was able to fit us in, but gave us a warning that we would only have about an hour and a half, which was totally fine because we didn't plan to spend all night there. Just wanted to eat and get out. The hostess was really sweet and accommodating, so we were just grateful that we were able to get in and eat. I cannot remember everything we got, but the picture is pretty spot on on most things. The food was so good chefs kiss! Everything that we ordered was fresh and hot. The waitress was very nice and was accommodating when it came to, describing all the sauces and the food, if we lived closer, this restaurant would see me here every weekend! The restaurant itself is a good size. The vibe is a very trendy looks like a great place to maybe be a first date. Unfortunately, we didn't get anything to drink alcohol wise, but all of the drinks look so good. I definitely need to go there again on a girls night or something because this place has been on my mind ever since we were there. read more

The food is decent but don't expect authentic Taiwanese food here. It's more a fusion spot where people come for the vibes. It's mostly dark inside and does feel nice. However the food was less savory and or spicy to the original flavors you may expect. The chili oil wontons were decent but did not carry the authentic spicy taste. The eggplant was okay but not stand out. The squid ink XLB was pretty good though. I also had the mango sticky rice which was decent. I give it 3 stars because nothing was particularly stand out - but service I will say was amazing. read more

Upscale renditions of the mall Chinese food that I loved as a kid. Went with a large group so got to try a bunch of dishes.

I cannot believe I haven't been here before now! As a local, I tend to get complacent with the usuals around the neighborhood, but last night I decided to pop in here, grab a bite before a concert. I am so glad that I did Food: let's just start with this pork shank, so tender, flavorful, and just plain unbelievably delicious Chicken fried rice, I would eat this as a full meal Green bean, sautéed and mushrooms chopped finally so it seems like you're eating green beans and chicken. Again, so flavorful, fresh and delicious. The ladies behind the bar, making drinks are very pleasant and know exactly what they're doing. Although this place looks incredibly tiny from the outside, we didn't have to wait and it was really nice eating at the bar. Next time a reservation will be made as I would like to sit in a comfy booth and take some time and discover more of the dishes and the different drinks, like one of the 20 or so Japanese whiskeys that they have behind the bar. I can't say enough great things about little fatty. You're missing out if you don't come here. Parking is ample with meters up and down the street on both sides Easy to make reservations or just come on by walk in. Don't be afraid to sit at the bar to eat.

It's a good blend of Taiwanese and Asian fusion flavor. I wouldn't say it's authentic Taiwanese flavor, but it's good tasting Asian fusion. I especially liked their take on the BBQ pork with buns. It's a little sweet but the tender and sweet n salty flavor goes well with the buns. The kids loved the XLB, fried rice and noodles. The place is good and big enough for big groups.

The food is so quick and it's delicious. I definitely would go here again! All the food is so good.

I wanted to try this place because I saw the name while scrolling on Yelp and thought it was so funny! We walked in on a Thursday night and were seated after a 10 minute wait. They have a "Fatty Mart" around the corner to kill time at. My friend had the "Fatty Folds" scallion pancake wrap halfway down his throat when we received a text that our table was ready at Little Fatty. The inside of Little Fatty was dark and moody, lit only by the glow of the looming bar. I entertained this atmosphere by ordering a cocktail. I had the Scotch Thai Tea. Boozy, creamy, and delicious. Stronger than I expected.  Our server was nice. In lieu of bread, we were served complimentary sesame rice crackers with sweet chili sauce. My friends didn't like the sauce, but I did.  The meal started strong. The beef roll appetizer was very good. The scallion pancake pastry was flaky. When dipped in broth, the beef roll was juicy and succulent. It tends to fall apart a bit, but we didn't mind. The Chinese BBQ Pork was definitely the star though. The meat was tender and sweet. The accompaniments were perfect. I loved the presentation of the entire shank on a tray with a carving knife - very rustic and chic.  Unfortunately, a couple of dishes fell flat for me. I thought the garlic noodles were bland. I also thought the Hainan chicken was lackluster. The chicken was fine, but anyone familiar with Hainanese chicken rice knows that the rice is the centerpiece of this dish. The rice, in contrast to the chicken, felt a bit too dry and was not infused with the amount of flavor I would've expected. I noticed that the meat dishes at Little Fatty tended to shine whereas noodle and rice dishes left something to be desired. My friends mentioned that they had been previously unimpressed by the XO Fatty Noodles they got through delivery. I would suggest the kitchen revisit this section of their menu. However, I did enjoy my time at Little Fatty and would be willing to return to try other dishes. read more
