Fats Asia Bistro

This was my first visit, but it certainly will not be my last. The service, food, and ambiance was great! I believe they are connected to Frank Fats of Downtown Sacramento, which is another great restaurant.I am certainly looking forward to going to coming back.

Stopped for dinner Friday evening, this place gives a PF Changs vibe with palm trees in the middle of the dinning room. The food it self was tasteful, we ordered some appetizers and tea to start with and our dinner over all was tasteful, but going to a restaurant is more than just the food. I found Fats to be lacking pride in its overall service. The bathrooms were dirty, trash bins full, no toilet paper or seat covers and trash on the floor. It was clear no one had bothered to check the bathrooms in the last few hours of the day and maintain the bathrooms clean. The dinning room itself, also had dirty floors, I watched them cleaned a table with a towel they had used on a previous table with what I could assume was dirty water since they brought it from a previous table and proceeded to dust off and wipe all remaining food and crumbs into the floor from the now empty table, with the same towel. The trash was left all over the floor. Our table had left over specks of something left after a wipe down before we were seated. The restaurant itself was nicely decorated, the food tasteful, however I found the overall experience lacking. A clean restaurant is important, perception is everything. Even if you're an hour away from closing. I believe until the place is closed and the last customer has left, a business needs to maintain professional appearance.

Drove by here in a road trip. Saw the Happy Hour on Yelp, so ventured in.There was about only a 5 to 10 minutes wait at the bar area (for HH, only the bar tall tables). Ambiance was nice, like a upscale, PF Chang copy cat restaurant. Noise level was also not loud, beautiful decorations and spacious.The server was as attentive as he could be. He was also bar-tending at the same time, as serving the tables at the bar area.We ordered a few items in the Happy Hour menu, as it was only around 4pm: neither lunch or dinner.The presentation was quite nice. However, all dishes were quite bland. California roll was only 4 pieces. If the chefs put slight more effort into the flavors of the all the dishes, I would have given 4 stars. Ribs were too salty. The fried rice could use a bit more salt. The pot stickers could have been pan fried slightly more for a crispier texture outside. The chicken could have more salt. And I do not eat very salty food too.Definitely a place I would not purposely come, driving a long way. It was convenient and just there. Parking was easy too, a covered one level garage, or plenty of outside parking.

Fats Asia Bistro, I am in love with this place. We literally spent about 3 hours here just eating and vibing. Alejandro, made is feel like we were VIP from start to finish. He gave us great drink recommendations and he was there every step of the way to make sure we had the best dining experience possible. I can't wait to come back. We came here to celebrate a birthday which was great. Now it's time to bring the hubby and a few couples so we can just vibe.

It was a rain filled Thursday evening and we went to Fats in Folsom. Over the last 10 years we have been here a few times and it's always good. Parking was easy in the front parking lot. I think the rain kept the crowds light. We sat at the bar and were immediately greeted and drink orders taken. We had some hors d'oeuvres, my favorite being the Calamari. The Calamari was strips of Calamari Steak rather than typical O rings and stringy things. The ambiance is upscale, spacious, and Asian. The Bar service was very attentive and professional. Fats lived up to our expectations.

The food is always exceptional but our favorite is sitting in the bar. The service is outstanding and we really appreciate Sean and Whitney for their professionalism.

WOW! WOW! WOW! Yes, Fat's Asia Bistro is very "WOW" worthy! And after an incredible lunch with the Girl Friends, I feel compelled to sing its praises! It has definitely been a minute since my last visit to this beautiful restaurant! Before Covid, for sure. Why has it taken this long to return? I plead the Fifth:) On point customer service, fabulous food and drinks in such elegant surroundings. I arrived before my Sacramento girlfriends! They are actually the ones who selected Fat's for our much needed gettogether and food date. And I thank them for that. It was the reacquaintance I needed to put Fat's back on my dining and happy hour circuit.Greeted so warmly by Ben, who was the ultimate one-band man, welcoming committee! He patiently let me look around to decide upon the perfect place to conduct "girl" business over drinks and food! He even suggested the best of the best tables for that very important agenda:). After peeking outside at some nicely shaded tables and the main dining room, I decided upon a high top table in the bar where no patrons had yet landed. Such a show stopper of a bar! Gorgeous. As I sat, Whitney, the bartender, was there in a flash. The great customer service just keeps on coming! There is no need to look at the drink menu. When I am at any of the "Fat's" restaurant locations, one of the award winning Mai Tai's is always in order. Always! I enjoyed watching Whitney mix up her potion for me as she was the front and center entertainment. And it was wonderful! Exotically delicious! Thank you, Whitney!The Girls arrived ready for drinks and food! Again, our lovely bartender and server, Whitney, was table side and taking drink requests. A bottle of Sauvignon Blanc was ordered and in no time arrived on ice! The chicken pot stickers were chosen as an appetizer, and we were on our way!So, I have reviewed the 5-star ambiance and customer service. Let us talk food! Menu highlights include Chinese, Asian Fusion, and Seafood staples. There are so many items from which to choose! Those starter chicken and spring onion pot stickers were delicious. They hit the spot with the just perfect temperature, glass of SB. Our main meal order consisted of stir fry Garlic Green Beans, Mongolian Baby Back Ribs, and Hong Kong Special Chow Mein. All three dishes were superb! Hot! Fresh! Delicious! 5-plus stars! The ribs were mouth-watering. Wok-tossed with a Mongolian glaze. So meaty. We were licking the glaze off our fingers:). The presentation was beautiful. Without asking, Whitney brought us steamy, wet cloth napkins, which we gladly accepted and appreciated. The green beans were garlicky and cooked to perfection. The sauce was addictive. Yum! The HK Special chow mein consisted of shrimp, scallops, chicken, barbecued pork, and vegetables over soft pan-friend noodles . So satisfying! This is food I remember loving before Covid. My dining experience today reminded me of what I have been missing. There is a Happy Hour, which I look forward to returning to soon! My favorite Mai Tai is on HH list! Woohoo! And should you have room for dessert, we all know about the famous banana cream pie.This is a classy, upscale restaurant with first-class servers and spectacular inside architectural features. The food is simply not to be missed! While casual is the dress code, it just feels like you should be dressed to the nines as they say. Even the restrooms are lovely and so clean. Someone is doing a magnificent job managing Fat's Asia Bistro!Thanks, again, Ben and Whitney, for the wonderful customer service. See you soon!

Food 4/5Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Please see my photos for ratings. Fats Asia is a good Chinese restaurant.

Came here last night after our daughters soccer game! We made reservations for 7 and we sat in the back room area. The soft lighting gives a romantic ambiance. The food was delicious we started off with garlic edamame, pork buns & shui mai. All of our entrees were served one by one not having our meals together. Our sweet & sour chicken was served after we were finished eating. The service was great but the only downside was not having our entrees all at once!

Really great Chinese American food. Drinks and food were delicious, service was great. Large portions perfect for family style. We're driving through from SF to Tahoe and are thinking of making this a tradition for future trips!
