I love this place!! Their food is finger licking and the flavor is amazing. Their meal boxes are so good and the portion is good enough for two. Lovely menu
It’s such a great place to visit.
Food portions are satisfactory and the quality is top notch.
It’s a different taste and feels good.
A definite recommendation.
This place serves amazing food, they even give you the option to make your meal by choosing their given options from the menu card. I am very fond of green and red Thai curry and trust me they serve amazing Thai curry. I had green Thai curry and it was super delicious. I have also tried their chilly silly noodles and veg dim sum and they are amazing, especially their chilly silly noodles.
Momos is my most favourite food item and Five fat monks has totally nailed at it..

Well these are called silky chicken dumplings and you can easily know why they r called soo!
Their was sufficient chicken filling and it was very tasty.
You just can’t stop at one.

The chutney provided with it was bang on🤩
It was not usual that we have at any outlet or roadside kiosk..
Totally a different experience.
I had also ordered for Kung Pow Wow rice.
It was tasty with moist chicken pieces topped with the cashews. Again something new I tried for the first time.
It was decent.
This items are heavy on pocket is what i feel.
Total damage:510+ taxes
The quantity was definitely less for the price. — at Five Fat Monks (Magarpatta, Seasons Mall)
With a different name this place is serving seriously mind blowing chinese...
We ordered 1 combo it was much enough for 2 people and was not that very expensive...
But yes the authenticity of the food was a class
"Make it your way" Gives you so many choices and help you make the right dish just the way you want. I loved their kung pao sauce. It was up to the mark. Definitely ordering more.
Ordered the Lamb Prawn Chicken Noodle was very good, I have ordered from here in the past and it has never disappointed. Compared to all the hundreds of Wok places popping up this is a little expensive
Their preparation is good and quite wholesome. My kid enjoys designing his own meal and that makes him relish it more. Definitely our go to place
We have ordered lunch from here quite a few times and I always thought of writing a review but eventually I would end up not doing it. So finally doing it this time.
The food is amazing taste wise, quantity wise and also the quality wise. Liked everything from this place that we have tried so far. Will recommend the Silly Chilly Noodles and Chicken wings as they are a must try.
Will definitely keep ordering from here.
I have tried multiple Pan Asian cuisine / Wok around Pune but Wok curated and served by "Chef Ankush" is one of the best Wok ["Make it your way"] I ate till date.
Thus that makes me regular at Five Fat Monks since many months.
My personal recommendation will be:
Non-Veggie Wok:
----------------
Protein: Prawns/ Chicken
Base: Brown Rice
Sauce : Kung pao
Veggies: Any
Garnish: Roasted Cashew nuts, Fried Garlic/ onions.
Wok has been lip smacking everytime with right amount of veggies which blends perfectly with the kung pao sauce and brown rice.
Quantity is enough for one.
Note: Good for those who like spicy food.
A lovely place to try Chinese cuisine in Pune. Situated at the food court of Seasons Mall, this place is perfect to fulfill your Chinese curving. Chicken Sui Mai Dimsums were excellent, they are open momos prepared very well and the owner claimed that they are not made of maida another reason to have it. Phat Nin Noodles were also very good. A modest place with good food having prices slightly on higher side.
The food in here is good. If you are not understanding the menu options or combos, ask the person at the counter and he would be happy to help you. I had gone there during dinner time and there not much of a commotion there. So 4-stars for the taste and service.
Food is excellent, you need to be careful of what to order though, do ask for suggestions from their staff when in doubt.
I usually have their veg wantons which are to die for
Their paneer/Tofu wok is good too, my usual combo is with Brown rice with Kung Pao sauce, carrots, broccoli and shiitake mushrooms with fried onion garnish.
I was in the food court of Season's Mall and had a craving for Chinese food and I saw this outlet. I ordered make ur own Wok- Veg and it was really nice. Very few places in Pune have the capability to ensure a nice WOK and it is one of them.
“Monks are not expected to speak about themselves; the message is important, not the person.” – Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
Seems this was the philosophy in mind when Abhir Khanna launched the brand of Five Fat Monks, where the focus was more on the food they offer. After having tasted splendid success in Mumbai, the Five Fat Monks are finally in Pune at two of its most happening suburbs.
At Five Fat Monks, they are inspired by the bold flavors of Southeast Asia, drawing upon the lively street food culture – but with a twist.
The interiors at the Balewali outlet, where we decided to go try the food, are extremely well done with abundant use of whites and oranges with some creative décor on the walls.
Beverages
Being on a no-sugar diet, I ordered the Fresh Lime Water Salted [Rs. 80]. Never my first choice anywhere [salted, ugh!] but well-made and overall a good drink to go with your spicy SEA dishes.
Silky Dim Sums
From the Dim Sums menu, I tried the Steamed Chicken Dim Sums [Rs. 255]. While the chicken was well-cooked and the dim sums had a good flavor, I could find no cohesion between the wrapping and the stuffing with the stuffing actually slipping out of the covers when you try to cut into it.
Bites
The Fish Chilly [Rs. 235] was a well-cooked dish but felt a little underwhelming on the palate. The Bow Wow Chili Bombay Chicken [Rs. 235] too did not impress me with its overcooked and chewy chicken.
On the other hand, the Wasabi Prawns [Rs. 290] and the Butter Garlic Prawns [Rs. 290] were both excellent dishes. Impressed us enough to re-order them. #YumYum #HighlyRecommended
Specials – Noodles
The Slurpy Suey [Rs. 300 / Rs. 320] is the Five Fat Monks take on the traditional Khao Suey. Extremely salty the first time over, the revised version tasted so much better. However could do with a little spice kick, maybe some more green chilies?
Specials – Rice
The Curried Away [Rs. 300 / Rs. 320] is the Five Fat Monks rebranding of the Thai Red Curry which was served with steamed rice. Again, very salty the first time, it tasted delicious once corrected. #DeliciousDelicious
Dessert of the Day
The dessert on offer that day was the Coconut Pancakes [Rs. 165]. Generous quantity of the sweet desiccated coconut stuffing, it went well with the vanilla ice cream served on top. #YumYum
Five Fat Monks still seems to be finding its feet with some definite improvements needed however my firm belief is that like a cat, they will land on their feet. Delicious food, efficient service and a relaxed ambiance certainly can take one far.
