I have seen this place for years now and finally got to try it. I don’t know what I expected but was sadly disappointed. I have not tried many skewer places so I’m not really sure what it’s suppose to taste like but it had a strong lighter fluid taste. You could see the chefs cooking it on a grill, so maybe it’s the seasoning that tastes like lighter fluid? Could just be us though, other tables did not seem to complain about it.

Great food, loved the Lamb Noodle Soup, Eggplant, A Choy, and Fish Tofu! The spice powders were pretty tasty to go along with the other lamb/chicken/beef tendon skewers we got. Probably wouldn't get the Scallops and Enoki again, but they were still pretty good.

Great 'new' experience! Went here with a group after being recommended it - it was exciting up til we sat down in which we received water and some edamame and then were left to figure it out on our own. After we made selections we had to find someone to take our menu for preparing. The menu can be hard to garner how much food you will get per item, but it's able to be mostly worked out. The oil slick noodles, the wheat noodles were great accompanying all the meats, as was the pita bread. For skewers - I'd recommend the pork belly, lamb, and quail (although quite small). Also USE THE SAUCES for variety, they help as most meats all have the same aftertaste/profile.

Unfortunately after being wowed by a video post i had to try this place. It was let down. My expectations were just too high. The food was ok. Nothing special but far from bad. I will say I was most surprised by the fried tofu - tasted like fries! Definitely give it a try just do not expect to be amazed.

I recently visited this barbecue restaurant, and it was an absolute delight! The lamb skewers were exceptional tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The chicken cartilage was crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside, bursting with flavor. The iron plate cabbage was another highlight, cooked to perfection with just the right amount of seasoning to enhance its crunchiness. Every dish had its own unique charm, making this place a must visit. Highly recommended!

This place is a solid four stars. The reason it isn’t five stars because not everything in the menu was delicious, but of course personal opinion. I provided the list of what I ordered. The bad items: Chinese buns were super dense you need a lot of water to eat it, scallops were really small didn’t even feel like I was eating scallops, the first piece of the pork belly was good because it had fat on it, but the rest of it was super dry. The following items were good, but also nothing to rave about. Just good enough to not hate. Which are the beef, squid, corn and oyster mushrooms (they put down enoki). The best ones were definitely delicious and I would highly recommend. The bacon wrapped enoki were super flavorful! Bacon and enoki is a great combination. The leek was very well seasoned. My first time having leek and I wanted more. Finally the best item were the lam skewers! Super flavorful, tender, and well balanced, loved them! Would definitely come back again! Also we got a free gift for taking a photo and posting it on Instagram!

Staff moves quickly but they don’t check up on you very much. I love the food. Skewers are fantastic, and they make veggies taste heavenly. My favorites are the lamb skewers and the hibachi cauliflower and hibachi broccoli. They have a house specialty spice mix that taste really good. They use a lot of cumin; normally dislike cumin and find it overpowering, but at Fat Ni there is something about the other spices that they mix it with that tastes amazing. Especially if you squeeze a bit of lemon on top of your food

Although the menu had a vast selection, it was not as clear of how much food would come with an order. Many of us ordered the recommended gizzard and lamb skewers but it was rather disappointing all were over cooked. Everyone seemed to fight to get the food off the skewers. I also had scallops, which were so tiny for the price, as well as the shrimp that were not deveined. Only food I did seem to enjoy were the vegetables. First time going and I would have thought it'd be nicer with the steady lunch hr.
