I LOVE THIS PLACE. Honestly it's been hard to find really good soup dumplings after I had amazing ones in Philly. This place lived up to that. We tried ALL of their soup dumplings. My favorite was the beef stew one (the blue one) and the Szechuan (pink ones). So SO flavorful. We also had the pork ones which is pretty basic. And then there's interesting flavor ones like lemon chicken and orange chicken. My husband and brother liked these though. We also got the golden Sheng Jain Bao which was absolutely delicious. Would definitely get that again. The two things I would never get again is the phat phat chicken and their alcoholic drinks. The chicken felt so thick and dense and didn't taste good. And the alcoholic drinks didn't taste like it had any alcohol. Service was a little iffy and first. When we got seated for 20 mins no one came up to us or tried to give us water. But after that they kept checking in which was great. The indoor decoration was so cute, made it very welcoming. Definitely coming back to try some of the other entrees and get my favorite two soup dumplings!! read more

This place was so good! It's been on my radar for a little bit. And since I had the time I drove up to Schaumburg to check it out. The got a nice parking area and back of the restaurant. It didn't take long for us to be seated. Probably about five minutes or so. The restaurant is really nice. It's got an upstairs as well once I guess it gets busy they start placing people upstairs. Service was friendly. Food was great. We got the sample dumplings with the rainbow flavors. Which were really good. Also, we got the beef noodles which was good but the chicken teriyaki was awesome. Definitely recommend that. We ended the meal with a chocolate bao and the mango sago, which were both really good. Prices were worth what they were, I guess average probably. But everyone was pleased with their dinner and we had a great time. read more

What an experience. Here early to meet a great friend & colleague, I ordered the garlic cucumber and salt & spicy eggplant. Garlic cucumber deliciously marinated and eggplant slices light & crispy. He arrived & we ordered a couple old fashioned cocktails, spicy Szechuan xiao long bao, golden sheng jian bao, beef rempah, then chocolate bao for dessert. Fast & attentive service. A little busy yet calm in an 80% full restaurant on a Tuesday night at 7p. The food was truly excellent, we wanted to order more but this turned out to be a good amount for two. A+ read more

I was in the area and their Indonesian menu caught my eye. We stopped by for lunch right when they opened and we were the first ones there. I really wanted to try their beef rempah, but unfortunately they said it wasn't ready yet. We settled on the Sichuan wontons, beef stew XLB, golden sheng jian bao and the mie goreng. I liked the classic Sichuan wontons the best and it's dipping sauce. The other dumplings weren't bad, but I just thought the Sichuan wontons were better. The mie goreng was good, spicy and very saucy. It helps to eat it with rice since it had too much sauce (spicy and salty) for me. If you are looking for the beef rempah, you might want to go later in the day to avoid disappointment. Overall, the atmosphere and decor was nice and the menu was interesting. read more

One of our absolute favorite restaurants. Food from Indonesia and Singapore! Best cucumber salad and soup dumplings anywhere

We tried this restaurant for lunch for the first time. It wasn't crowded when we were there. The place was large and had many tables. The decor was trendy. It looked very nice and neat. We ordered the spicy Szechuan ciao long bao, golden sheng jian bao and stir fried noodles with chicken. They were all good. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate bao. That had a mild chocolate flavor, not too sweet. Overall, the food was good. The service was great. We will come again and try other items on the menu. read more

The ultimate comfort lunch! There's something about just sitting in there, letting the afternoon drift by, watching the traffic, while you flip back and forth through the menu trying to remember which soup dumplings you've had, struggling to decide if you stay with what you like or go for a new one. Even if one isn't you're favorite, what, you can't slam down four and move on? I think you can. (underrated: get the green beans) Service is always quick and friendly, food is always nice and hot, and the company I go with, just the sweetest and most delightful, hence the tendency to sit while the afternoon glides by. read more

I was in the neighborhood and came by for lunch with my mom. The interior was very nice and roomy. We didn't have to wait at all and was seated promptly. I very much appreciate the convenient parking lot and the clean bathrooms. We ordered a variety of items to try because I've read some of the other reviews and there was a mention that the portion is a bit smaller than expected. If I was to compare it to the other restaurants in Chinatown, then yes I would agree that the portions were smaller - especially when you take in account of the price of each item. However everything was delicious - my favorite was the hainan chicken though I did really also liked the sheng jiang baos as well. read more

Updated review for Phat Phat, it's been at least a year since the last time we visited the restaurant. The food is still very good. One of the things we noticed is they are now serving a wider assortment of dim sum and dumplings on the regular menu. We were really happy to see that since you can't get good dumplings regularly at many suburb restaurants. The service was very good during this visit, it was pretty busy when we dined in on a Wednesday night. The service was fast, the server we had was very attentive and helpful. We plan to continue going to phat phat for the noodles and dumplings on a somewhat regular basis. read more

We visited this restaurant in a Friday night. We were seated promptly even though we didn't have a reservation. The restaurant was kept very clean and orderly. The staff was friendly and helpful but they could have used another waiter to service the restaurant. It was a busy night and I could only spot two waiters. Having said that, the staff moved fast and were doing their best. Also, the food was great. We got the variety option of the soup dumplings and honestly they were all very good and each had their own unique taste profile. It's a nice little restaurant with great food. Only reason it's not five stars was the lack of enough servers. But the servers that were there, were working hard. read more

My mom and I were really excited to try this place because the chef is from Southeast Asia and the menu looked fun. Between the two of us, we got three things - a fried fish dish (I don't remember the exact name, apologies), the salted egg tofu appetizer, and the lemon xiao long bao. The first two things were solidly good - I'd rate them both 4/5 stars. However, we were both really disappointed with the xiao long bao. It was straight up bad, which was super disappointing because I was curious about the other XLB flavors. The waitress did mention that some people love it and some people hate it, so maybe it'll be up your alley. Unfortunately, how I felt was I could get yummier Chinese food in Chinatown or elsewhere in the city for cheaper. I wouldn't mind the price as much if the food was actually Good, but I don't personally think it's worth going out of the way to try. Especially when there are other options nearby. It is cute inside though, but just not our vibe. read more

Been wanting to try Phat Phat for a long time. Once you walk in you get a warehouse feel. Very modern fixtures with booths and tables. Nice bar area. We were greeted by the waitress and were seated promptly. Menu is easy to read with mainly pictures. I wish it had better descriptions of the food as the server offers no assistance. They offer Southeastern Asian and Indonesian entrees. Prices are moderate but portions are small. Plates were brought out as they were prepared so you which I did not like. Ordered the Orange Chicken Soup Dumplings. Flavorful but small portions. Also had the Sichuan Wontons Dimsum. Again small in size and lacking flavor. Since I was still hungry I ordered the Garlic Chicken Wings. Very small in size,overpriced and super salty. A dipping sauce would have been nice but when I asked the server,she only offered chili oil. My wife wanted a Gluten Free dish and they only suggested the beef fried rice which was super bland,overpriced and lacking beef. With so many choices of restaurants in the area,I don't think we will be back. read more

everything here is so flavorful and my favorite place if I wanna try new things. Love this place. It's so good.

Came here in a group of 18 people for a bday celebration. Restaurant feels homey, with a nice high ceiling and upper seating. We had a reservation and only one table was ready when we got there, had to wait 10 minutes for other people to finish eating so that we had our other table for our big group. Employees were nice and helped us combine the tables so that we could all sit in one long table for 18 people. Entrees: 4.5/5 The dim sum here is really good! My favorites were the Shanghai Xiao Long Bao, (soup inside is piping hot) the Sheng Jian Bao, (very meaty) and Siew Mai. The crispy fish with egg floss has a nice crunch with reminds me of fries. The green beans were well cooked and seasoned, and were a nice break from all the meat I ate. Just look at the pics I had way too much food haha. Dessert: 3.5/5 I was really excited to try the Mango Sago because it is a Filipino dish (and I am Filipino duh) so I wanted to see if it reminded me of home. At first, the mango and the chewy sago pearls were sweet and fruity, but then as you leave it in your mouth and swallow it, it has a bitter and sour aftertaste which I was not a huge fan of. The sesame balls were crunchy but the red bean paste inside was average. We really appreciated how the staff gave us a free ice cream dessert with a candle on top to commentate the celebrant's bday. Overall, I really liked the hospitality of the staff, and the cleanliness and modernness of the building. The dim sum was superb! But the dessert I would skip. read more

Yum! My wife and I had a few of their dumplings, including their signature soup dumplings (my favorite), and a noodle dish. All of which was delicious. The room is nice and open, in one of the older buildings in Schaumburg square. The service was polite and efficient; mind you, it was not busy during our visit. While I have had slightly better dumplings, these were up there. Check out Phat Phat! read more

What happened to this place? They used to be good and had a bigger menu, now their menu is lacking of main dishes. Their saving grace are their soup dumplings, everything else was just overpriced and meh. read more

I always love this place. Open areas, fun bench seating along the sides with pillows and round table seating around. Located in a historic building in DT Schaumburg. Drinks are good, but I really come here for the soup dumplings - Xiao long bao's are amazing here and they offer about 4-5 different types. Most servers are pretty friendly, service is usually good and at pace. Price is $$$, other menu items I recommend are: soup dumplings mentioned aboe hainan chicken spring rolls seasonal dessert baos (especially the chocolate ones) spicy dumplings enoki mushroom appetizer fried eggplant salt & pepper tofu read more

My husband and I went to Phat Phat for dinner a few weeks back for the first time and LOVED it!! The garlic cucumbers are simple, yet sooooo delicious! The soup dumplings are also absolutely delicious! The bao's are incredible too! The service was really friendly and helpful since it was our first time there. The server helped us navigate the menu which was appreciated. The restaurant is really open and pretty as well! We liked the decor and ambiance! We will absolutely be back to Phat Phat for dinner soon! read more

I really wanted to like this restaurant, saw a lot of rave reviews and the pictures of the food looked amazing. Aesthetically, the dining area was stunning and I thought their little dumpling logo was so cute. All the dumplings we ordered were a miss. The XLb wrapper was pretty thick on the top and flavor of the more unique XLbs like the spicy Szechuan & beef stew were not good. The spicy one was not that spicy and the beef stew seemed to be a bit gamey. The shen Jian bao was okay, the bottoms were not as crispy as I would have liked. The mushroom truffle bao did not have the same look as it did online so that was interesting. The green beans with minced pork somehow saved the day, those were full of flavor and smoky. Although all XLb we ordered was below average for us, we thought the service was really good! read more

We came by on a Saturday afternoon for an early dinner, and there was a pretty full parking lot in the back. When we walked into the restaurant, they had us put our name on a waitlist as they are short staffed. After a bit of time we were seated and shortly after water was brought out to us. To start I got the mule, and it was delicious. For the cost it is on the smaller side but the flavors were great! For the baos, we tried the truffle, mango, bbq pork and the chocolate bao. The truffle bao was filled with mushrooms and looked like a mushroom too. The bbq pork bun was super fluffy and a bit sweeter than I'm used to but still delicious. The mango bun was certainly a unique bao, definitely be careful when biting into it because it is hot & the filling does shoot once you bite into it. Lastly was the chocolate bao, which was a great way to wrap up the meal! We also tried a few of the dumplings, my favorites were shangjian soup dumplings and the siew Mais! All in all we had a great experience, and would love to come back and try all of their seasonal baos! read more

A co-worker recommended Phat Phat in Schaumburg. Due to their variety of menu choices, I made two trips here for lunch to try out their offerings. Phat Phat was nice on the inside and welcoming. They do offer cocktails, but I opted for just water. I found the food to be hit or miss. The truffle bao and the su chao fan were really good. I could eat both of those yummy dishes all day! The wok fired Hong Kong mee with vegetables was ok and a I didn't care for the beef rempah. The beef had an odd after taste to it. I think there are some nice savory options to try here depending on what you like and I wouldn't hesitate to return and try more dishes. read more

A good dim sum restaurant, with a large menu 'book' with colorful pictures, Phat Phat Chinese Eatery in Schaumburg, has a large selection of dim sum, many using color to provide visual stimulation. My daughter chose this nearby restaurant from online reviews, especially since my wife really likes XLB (soup dumplings). There were four of us, dining inside on a Friday evening, and were able to get seated right away using a reservation made that same day. The inside ambience is really modern...the word trendy popped into our heads as we sat down and admired the surroundings. Since it was our first time, we ordered in two rounds once we realized the portion sizes, with the second round of dishes that we liked. My daughter ordered for us; my brother and I just enjoyed it without choosing. It was enough food for the 4 of us, with no leftovers. Spicy Szechuan Xiao Long Bao ($6.50) - 4 pieces - I enjoyed it mostly for a unique taste in a soup dumpling. Mango Bao ($7.00) - 3 pieces - It's a beautiful looking bao, almost too pretty to eat. The mango filling was very sweet. It didn't really work for us. Golden Sheng Jian Bao ($9.50) - 6 pieces - most of the table didn't care for this. I found it very doughy, but really liked the fried bottom. 2 Shanghai Xiao Long Bao ($6.50 each) - 4 pieces - these are the classic ones that we like, but on a smaller size. The broth inside had good flavor, but the top was doughy because it was too thick. Orange Chicken xiao Long Bao ($6.50) - 4 pieces - this was interesting. coming in a bright orange wrapper. It definitely tasted like Orange chicken. 2 Har Gao ($6.25 each) - 4 pieces - most people at the table liked this the best of the various dim sum. The shrimp inside was sweet, and of good quality. It wasn't so tightly packed as har gao could be, but it also meant that it wasn't very filling. Stir Fried Kwetiaw w/Shrimp ($14.50) - flat rice noodles, decent portion size, with a really good brown soy based sauce. 2 Shrimp Fried Rice ($11.50) - Light fried rice using chicken as its flavoring. It was really well made, and was a great base for all of us as we began to sample the various dim sum. Some of the dishes came with their own dipping sauce, and one ramekin of vinegar was provided for the table. We asked for shredded ginger for our XLB, but it wasn't available. Service was good, with dishes being delivered soon after being prepared. I really like this family style way of dining, and Phat Phat is a good place to dine-in with family and close friends. read more

I came for dinner the other night with my wife, and we were very happy. We tried 6 different types of dim sum, and all were great, but the stand outs for me were the Szechwan Bao, and the Beef Stew soup dumplings. Sorry about the pictures. We tried so many, I forgot which was which. Our server was great, and very knowledgeable about the menu. The restaurant had a fun casual vibe. I will definitely be back. read more

Such a cute place! Very clean and well kept. There was plenty of parking. There's also a party room upstairs. We arrived right when it opened on Friday morning so we were the first customers. Our waiter was very attentive, and continuously checked on us to make sure we were well taken cared of. The food was amazing! My favorite was the garlic cucumber, it was so refreshing! We even got an order to go (it's better fresh!) The tofu tots were really good but could use a sauce, it has a powdery finish on the outside. The stew Long bao must have been amazing because my daughter killed it and didn't offer anyone else any. The noodles were good, just more so on the sweet side so if you don't like it sweet I don't recommend. The chicken wings were probably the one of my least favorite, although it was flavorful it seemed a bit over cooked and the batter seemed a bit burnt. The sichuan wontons lacked flavor for me. I would definitely return when I'm in town. read more

A while back, I was told about this place and saw that a Singaporean Chef who worked at a Michelin Star restaurant had designed the menu. Sounded promising but I became skeptical when I saw the photos, particularly the dishes that used heavy food coloring. I was in disbelief that a Michelin level Chef would use food coloring so distastefully to the point where it looked unappetizing. However, I gave it the benefit of the doubt and decided to try this place. DISAPPOINTING. You're much better off getting Dim Sum from MingHin. And that's saying something because MingHin's quality has somewhat declined over the years as well. The quality of the food and the portion sizes was abysmal and definitely not worth the price they're charging. For instance, we got the 4pcs Siew Mai. Seasoning was lacking, texture was too paste-y and the piece was the size of a quarter. Other Dim Sum places I've been to had Siew Mais at the size of a silver dollar and for cheaper too. Go google the size comparison between those two coins. I'm not sure if the decline in quality is due to a reduced involvement from the Chef. But as it stands, avoid this place. DO NOT be deceived by the 4.1 review on Yelp and 4.4 Google review. As someone who has eaten Dim Sum almost every Sunday since I was a child, I can tell you that this is one of the worst places I've ever been to. read more

Hi y'all l, I'm actually sad to write this review because based on the beautiful photos on their website and menu, I thought everything was going to be delicious! Let me start with some positives: there is ample parking in the lot, the ambience is quite unique for an Asian restaurant (exposed brick) and the service is good. Unfortunately, everything we tried fell short of our expectations. - salt & pepper enoki mushrooms - this is batter fried and tasted good. Just wished the oil would have been blotted on paper towel first - truffle bao - did not get truffle flavor - golden sheng jiang bao - the wonton skin was thicker than i would have liked. Tasted ok. - Orange/ lemon Xiao long bao - we tried both flavors and it was very interesting how artificial the orange and lemon flavors tasted. Didn't enjoy these. - tofu tots - the description says "salted egg". Believe it. The tofu tots appeared to have an egg wash on them. Too eggy for me. Did not enjoy this one either. - crispy calamari - ok - garlic chicken wings - good - hainan rice - only available on the weekends. It was OK. The ginger/garlic flavors were very subtle. read more

There is no way to describe how much we loved this restaurant. On a scale of 1-10 we would give it a 50! This is our second time here in less than one week. On our last visit there were 4 adults and 3 teenagers, and every one of us thought this was the best food we have ever had! And so unique! nothing that you see in any other restaurant to my knowledge.. unlimited choices, wonderful ambience, and our server Denny, was an absolute delight. We urge everyone to give this phenomenal restaurant a try! read more

You're eating in a brick-walled warehouse that used to be a bar, but the prices are through the roof. EVERYTHING is ala cart, so you pay an extra $15 if you want a vegetable with your noodles. You won't get out of the warehouse for less than $100 EACH! read more

HOLY COW! These are the best soup dumplings I've ever had. The soup flavor was light (and there was a lot of soup), the dumpling skin was not too thick or thin, and the meat was delicious. I could easily eat 20 of them if I wanted to. They also have rotating specialty dumplings so we got their mango-shaped dumpling with a mango filling. We also got a pan-fried dumpling which I wish was crispier on the bottom, but their soup dumpling is a must-try. They were pretty packed when I went but I got quick service even with a full restaurant. Next time, I'd like to try their cocktails. read more

Phat Phat - Dumpling sampler - Noodles Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

This has been on my list to try since moving to IL. I finally made it - and just in time for NW Suburbs restaurant week! The front door is on the side of the building in case you're confused. The space is so beautiful and has a great vibe. My server was very helpful. She also wrapped up all my leftovers when I was ready to go. I love eggplant so I ordered the crispy bites as a starter. YUM! The special included a variety of soup dumplings (all I would eat again immediately). I took the noodles and bao home. It was $50 for everything (including iced tea and the tip) but so worth it because I ate three lunches and two snacks from all this food! Noodles were really great (and the rest of the eggplant was easy to reheat in the air fryer!). I'm not a huge fan of bao like I am of other dim sum but I like the lighter texture of these bao. I'm not a chocolate person either but I would order the other two flavors again. Having company this week and I am going to take them there so I can try more dishes. read more

I have found my new favorite Asian restaurant! I had seen Phat Phat on the Yelp list for best Asian food in the Chicago suburbs so I figured I had to come try it. I came with my family on a Sunday night, which was surprisingly quiet (considering I see it bursting with people every time I drive by). The menu is fairly large so we tried several different dishes to get a taste. We started with a Szechuan Mule, which was similar to a typical Moscow Mule but with Szechuan syrup. This syrup was spicy and gave the drink a nice kick! I wasn't the biggest fan but my parents loved it. For dinner we tried the Sheng Jian Bao, Nasi Goreng, Hongkong Mee with Chicken, and Kung Pao Chicken. The Shen Jian Bao were just pork soup dumplings and wow were they good! They were fairly small, but I actually liked that they were bite size so I could just pop them into my mouth. There was lots of soup inside the dumplings that burst out when you chewed them. Such great flavor! I would come back for the soup dumplings alone. The Nasi Goreng was a great fried rice dish. There are some green chilis in there that are pretty spicy if you bite into them- so watch out! The Kung Pao Chicken was also great, the sauce was not too sweet. My favorite dish was probably the Hongkong Mee with Chicken. This noodle dish was super flavorful, not too salty and perfectly savory. To top off the meal, we ended with some chocolate bao and Fuji apple bao. The chocolate bao was bursting with warm gooey chocolate that reminded me of a molten lava cake. The Fuji apple bao had chunks of apple and a runny cinnamon apple sauce inside. The outside bun for both was so soft and pillowy. Such a perfect way to finish the meal. Also, can I just mention how impressed I am that the Fuji apple bao looks like an apple?! Truly, I must say that the meal was extraordinary. It is Asian food that is elevated from your typical take out but still very much affordable! Plus the restaurant itself is quite modern and has two stories! My parents described it as a restaurant you would see in downtown Chicago rather than the suburbs. Would highly recommend coming here. I know I will be back and I will be bringing friends! read more

Bright and cozy atmosphere and super friendly service. Lots of seating options for large groups available! They have Indonesian and Chinese foods, I definitely recommend trying their Indonesian specialty menu. All of their items are delicious definitely a place you must try! Shanghai Xiao Long Bao 5/5: Nailed the flavor, thin skin with juicy soup on the inside. Nasi Gareng 5/5: A sweet yet savory fried rice that packs a lot of flavor! Salt & Pepper Enoki Mushroom 5/5: Light and crunchy fried enoki served with sweet and sour sauce. Super addicting to munch on! Phat Phat Chicken 3/5: Wouldn't really recommend getting this item when they have so many other menu items that are unique and delicious. It's just your typical chicken covered in lots of fried starch and topped with a sweet glaze. Snow Ice 5/5: So refreshing, and if you love lychee like me you'll love this! A but pricey though. read more

We came here for a weekend lunch after doing some shopping. Behind the restaurant there is a lot of parking. The inside is nicely decorated and has a good amount of tables inside; they also have a second floor possibly as an event space. We were quickly seated and staff were very friendly, and the food came out very quickly! It is a dim sum style restaurant where you order multiple plates typically for sharing. For two hungry adults we got 6 plates of food to share and we were satiated. We will definitely be back when we're in the area again! read more
