Fatty bao had always been in my mind after I discovered their ramen menu. Asian food lovers should just go asap. Loved everything abou this place. The food, the service was great.
Tried their chicken karaage bao ( highly recommend, it tastes amazing)
Chow mein noodles with smoked chicken, basil and garlic. ( Tasted average)
Braised chicken with celery and soy sause ( if your are going for the noodles then you will love this ) .
The cracker and other 3 condiments came with the noodles.
Ordered crispy potato bao from here and got it delivered in a nice packaging and with a quirky note attached. This is the first time that I have tried this dish so I cannot compare with other food joints. The bread was very soft, the potatoes were crispy and flavourful and there was also a cucumber slice dipped in sauce and cheese. Overall good experience, although I didn't like the smell of the sauce, but perhaps it is the signature of the dish so no complaints. Keep up the good work.
Seafood ramen reminded me of my strolls in the streets of southeast Asia ! Also tried thai basil chicken fried rice. Thank you for the beautiful experience!
Just that had to wait to get a table
Hands down it is one of the best places to have a good Japanese meal in the city. The Fatty Bao has quickly caught up with the food lovers in Kolkata. A modern oriental ambience with beautiful paper lanterns strung up origami, a glass facade overlooking the city structures; it is an idyllic setting for a dining experience. Perfectly rolled up sushi, soft bao with brilliant fillings, ramen bowls, delicate dimsums, refreshing salads; the menu is pleasing to all. Drooling something different feeling at Kolkata
A perfect date-night place. It has become my favourite restaurant just for the ambience it has in the evening. You can see the lit up Victoria Memorial and it's just beautiful. The food is nothing but tasty and a very good value for money.

Going backlins, decided to come up with this mini review for me to reminisce later, rather than establishing a critical analysis.
As evident, there aren't many places that can serve authentic Japanese cuisine; or de facto, there aren't many places that serve Jap in the first place. I can name a handful that could satisfy my palate armed with weeb knowledge.
Apart from the spectacular food quality, the decor giving the asian kick zhuzh up the place even more.
It was 2019 September, autumn is practically summer here, as usual with diminished appetite, ordered 3 dishes.
Spicy Salmon and Cream Cheese sushi: With the backdrop of Victora Memorial, enjoyed a fine uramaki; that subtle taste of cheese give the salmon a warm embrace, tres bien!
Tantanmen: I honestly don't recall having a ramen bowl as delicious, as savory-to-the last-bit like this one, EVER. With thick yet light chicken and pork broth, perfectly cooked chasu cuts, gorgeous waves of flavours, this dish right there is peak comfort food alright.
Should I pray, since this bowl looks like the god? Even after almost a year of having this, I can still feel the lingering aftertaste in my mouth as I recollect. Can't wait to dig into it once again!
Coco Caramel: Sublime, that's the word for it.
With hazelnut and crispy praline coated meringue sided with milk chocolate crémeux, hell this dessert is nothing but a rich experience of jewels.
There's literally no drop in tempo I mean, where do you find that?
I thought so. Thinking about it makes me esurient, otherwise who bothers to write a review after almost a year when I've left writing in the first place.
If there's a handful of places that should never be struck by apocalypse, then Fatty Bao is one of 'em and this means a lot coming from me.
Well then, carpe diem fellas!

The Fatty Bao is a restaurant with excellent authentic Japanese cuisine and a fine ambience with sober yet beautiful decor and good music. There is a separate bar counter at one end of the dining area.
Ordered the following food items:
Eggplant Bao - As the name suggests it's stuffed with fried eggplant and kimchi cabbage with sriracha sauce and garlic. This to me was a surprise once I took the first bit. Veg bao can be so delicious?! The eggplant was crispy with a lovely fried texture. The bao was very soft and full of flavours along with the stuffing. Absolutely loved it.
Grilled Sambal Chicken Bao - Stuffed with Sambal oelek, soy, lemongrass and scallion, no wonder this bao was delicious too and the lemongrass and scallion gave it a delightful touch.
Classic Sticky Crab Fried Rice with Chilli oil - This was my happy food. The rice was moist with lots of flavours blended perfectly and full with shreds of crab meat and veggies. The chilli oil gave a beautiful flavour. This dish reflects the love with which the dish was cooked.
Sichuan Three-pepper Pork - This maincourse dish with pork was scrumptious and will make you want more. The pork pieces absolutely melted in the mouth. The rich gravy was flavoursome analong with the Sichuan peppercorns, long green chillies and scallions adding a crunchy texture and freshness to it. Loved this dish and it did justice to the sticky crab rice.
Japanese Cheesecake with sour cherries compote, pistachios crumble and Vanilla bean ice-cream - Ohh my my! This dessert took me straight to heaven. Beautifully presented, the Japanese Cheesecake was dense yet soft and not too sweet which is perfect to my taste buds. The sour cherries compote added and zing and freshness which balances perfectly with the rich dense cheesecake. The pistachios crumble was lovely and the vanilla bean ice-cream instantly hit the mark. The vanilla bean ice-cream was amazing and very light in texture. One of the best of its kind I had.
Fatty Hill - It's their speciality and the presentation is eye-catching. It's a chocolate pyramid with mint at the centre with almond praline and covered with rice crispies, played along with the divine Vanilla bean ice-cream. The dense and creamy chocolate was beautiful and when I took a spoon of it the rice crispies and almond praline added a crispiness to it. As I took more and more if it I reached the centre where the mint centre comes; a white minty core. The vanilla bean ice-cream was the same used with the Japanese Cheesecake. A delectable dessert!
The staffs were extremely polite and cordial. Great great thumbs up to their unique way of plating and eccentric presentation. It's one of my favourite places.
Love their sushi always! Recently ordered their butter noodles...it was amazing!
Went for weekday lunch.
Place - it was easy to find, parking in the back of the building.
Ambiance - the place was big, well lit spread out nice.
Food - ordered chilly chicken, noodles, 3 cup chicken. Nice flavors and preparation.
Service - nice service, staff was prompt and friendly.
Overall a nice place with good food.

Beautiful place with great food and friendly staff. I had Malai Fish tikka here. It was very tasty and that was the first time I liked a Malai dish. We also had a prawns starter and Egg Fried Rice. My only complaint is that, cocktails are not fine. Staff is very friendly and helpful. View of the Victorial Memorial is nice at night.
Went there on two consecutive days as the food was very good. The view is also great as Victoria Memotial is visible. The drinks were awesome and the presentation of desserts is masterchef like.
The place was good. Service was good as well. I felt it to be a bit overpriced over what they offer.
2nd in the list after Asia!Asia!Asia! in the food to price ratio on the bad side. Has the decency to provide more food than Asia!Asia!Asia!

I was skeptical about trying sushi but decided to go with the veg version. And it turned out to be wonderful on the very 1st try. I became daring and had 3/5th portion of wasabi and now I trust the Korean people when they say they don't like wasabi. It burned my whole tasting senses for a moment and my eyes became watery in an instant!!🥲🥲
Next I had Seafood Tempura Udon which was absolutely marvelous. The light texture of the soup and the ability to fill the appetite with its richness in taste was mind blowing. Fish and prawn tempura were the best combination with it. Also must mention the fish cake🍥😌
Trying Cheesecake was also the best decision as the not too sweet cheesy fluffy cake with its best buddies ice cream and sour cherries made my foodie heart flutter.
After all these items, when I was contemplating whether I should have a drink or not. Whether it'll ruin the taste of cheesecake or not. The sudden thought of trying a completely unknown stuff came up in my mind. Thus I decided to take sips of Sakura Sakura, a grape based non alcoholic drink including a hell lot of ice cubes and some green apples providing a sour and fizzy taste that completely made me smile.
I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THIS CAFE TO EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO TRY JAPANESE FOODS 💯💯
I tried Chasu Ramen , fish katsu sushi roll and a pork side dish here.. Ramen was so far one of the best I tried in Kolkata. I felt the size of sushi was little smaller than usual.. overall experience was fantastic
What a lovely spot! The atmosphere at this restaurant bar is fantastic. I dropped in for brunch and was pleasantly surprised by their specialty cocktail menu; it's a must-try. The food was also quite good, making it a delightful dining experience overall.
