    It was my birthday. I put it on the reservation and they didn’t bring anything to the table to make it special. We had to share a high top with other people. Unpleasant. I won’t make another reservation.

    Appetizers was pork dumplings, which was yummy but higher in price. The scallion pancakes were great, loved the edamame dip. Sushi was amazing!! Well worth the money. Definitely loud and crowded, but fun atmosphere.

    We enjoyed the food and the drinks, however the waitress was rushing us throughout the meal. We were celebrating a birthday and had asked for a special birthday thing and the waitress brought desert out while everyone was still eating their entrees. Then, the waitress dropped the check off very abruptly without asking if we wanted anything else and it felt like we were being pushed out the restaurant for no reason.

    Good food, service was a bit low touch, the main thing to be aware of is it caters to a younger crowd. All of the seating is high top, which wouldn't have made any impression on me in my 20s but at almost 40 and 8 months pregnant, was quite noticeable.

    I love Fat Baby so much, but my reservation was disappointing. I had a reservation for 7:30 for which my party and I arrived for onetime. However we were told that we would need to wait about 15 minutes for a table. We weren’t seated until 8:07. They were really busy so we were expecting everything to take longer, it was so slow. We ordered 6 wings and only got 5, charged for 6 but never had a chance to tell the server because the service was slow and we weren’t able to flag her down. We had a drink added to the bill that we didn’t order, it was taken off but again it took so long for anything was done. I’ve never had a bad experience here before I think yesterday was an off day I’m hoping

    Great value for sushi, fresh seafood and Asian inspired dishes! It’s was busy and loud, but in a fun way that did not impact service at all. Would recommend reservations as it was packed by 6:30.

    We had New Year’s Eve dinner plans at 7:30. The previous table took about 40 minutes longer to eat. We sat at the bar while we waited and we’re treated to multiple complimentary dishes and multiple apologies. It was way above and beyond what was needed and extremely appreciated. The food and the drink were also top notch. Will be back.

    I always enjoy my meal at fat baby; drinks, appetizers, and entrees were perfect. It was quite loud, which can be hard when getting together w friends. I do always enjoy my meal and already can’t wait to come back!

    Great experience overall, very good food and fun vibes. Only complaint is that servers seemed somewhat averse to clearing the table so we were often left with empty drink glasses and appetizer plates that should have been taken away.

    Maki Monday was awesome! The food and drink was delicious. All you can eat maki was an exceptional value. Just know it is going to be LOUD. I was fine with it— lots of energy—but I imagine the noise level is not for everyone.

    Great vibe inside and cool, Thai fusion menu! I had to go for the Thai curry noodles but I’d love to go back soon to try the unique sushi rolls! Server was so friendly and food came out hot and fast even though it seemed like a pretty busy Tuesday.

    I had to update our reservation time twice last minute because my friend was traveling from out of town, hit a ton of traffic, and never called me with ETA updates. I had so much anxiety calling in to say we’d be an hour late, then another 20 minutes late. I assumed I’d be cancelled and blacklisted but let me tell you- fat baby has a hostess with the mostest!!!! She was incredibly kind and understanding, professional and accommodating. We didn’t have to wait when we got there despite the place being busy, and the table that was waiting for us was one of the bests. I’ve been a host, bartender, server, and shot girl over the years and y’all check all the service boxes. Welcoming host, fun vibes, friendly server/runner (+server made menu recommendations when I was torn which was amazing) fast delivery, and delish craft cocktails & food!!! How dare you treat an unreliable guest with such greatness! ;) Love and appreciate your team! Don’t change!!!
