Reviews
If you really and truly love yourself and believe that you deserve good – nay, great! – things, then you need to check out Phat Eatery.
My wife and I came on the recommendation of a friend and were enraptured by the experience. The vibe inside is immaculate: tasteful and thematically appropriate neon signage decorated a clean, dark industrial scape that is comfortable. The wait staff is also fantastic, especially Irene, who deftly walked us through flavor profiles and spice levels.
But lost crucially, of course, was the food. We started with the steamed pork buns, which were out of this world yummy – the buns were soft and light and luscious, the filling savory goodness. My wife tried the Malaysian Chicken Curry, which was spectacular; I ordered the Sizzling Black Pepper Beef (2nd spice level, Serrano), which is presented very similar to fajitas. We shared the most buttery roti I’ve ever consumed.
It suffices to say that we had a wonderful dining experience from top to bottom, and when we return to Katy in the future, we will be exploring more of the magnificent menu (and asking for Irene).
The service was impeccable, with well-trained and incredibly friendly staff. The store itself was well-decorated with an industrial style, and it was spotlessly clean. I highly recommend trying the Malaysian fried rice and the basil beef (with a reduced amount of salt).
Service and atmosphere:
Outstanding service from get go. Our server was polite, friendly and very knowledgeable about food on a menu. She helped us decide on our dishes selection by recommendations.
The restaurant was clean, structured, very modern and comfortable. Open bar area in the middle is very nice.
Food and drinks:
Delicious and well thought through dishes. Traditional selections with fragrant ingredients and seasonings.
All of that gave the food authenticity test. The portions were generous.
Big selection of various beverages to choose from.
Pricing:
$$ – super worth it and we will be coming back to dine in here again.
The mee goreng was the highlight: very fragrant, lots of veggies, clearly cooked in a hot wok. It genuinely tasted like something you’d eat in Malaysia—bold, hot, and visually appealing.
Only minor gripe was the service; getting the waiter’s attention was a bit slow. Food more than made up for it though.
The food were tasty, inventive, and the menu is original and inventive. The price reflects its premium status. I sat at their busy bar and yet, the service was quick and attentive.
I will be coming here again for sure.
