" Fat Mao Noodles is one of my favorite places to grab lunch! I love their Khao Soi; it’s rich and flavorful, truly a comfort food that warms the soul. Be prepared for a long wait during lunch hours as it tends to get busy, but the deliciousness of the dishes makes it worth it. The ambiance is a bit tight, but perfect for a quick meal with friends. Would highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Fat Mao after hearing so many great things, and they did not disappoint! I tried the Vegetarian Khao Soi and my friend had the Braised Duck Noodles. Both dishes were flavorful and rich, showcasing authentic Thai ingredients beautifully. The only drawback was the slightly cramped seating which made it a bit noisy, but the warm service made up for it. Overall, a fantastic dining experience that I wouldn’t hesitate to repeat. I can't wait to return with more friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally visited Fat Mao Noodles and let me tell you, it was worth every penny! The soup was packed with flavors and I could feel the authenticity in every bite. I ordered the Spicy Boat Noodles and they were vibrant and hearty. The portion was generous, but I did find the price a bit steep for a single bowl. Also, the wait was longer than I expected, but the friendly staff and the delicious food made up for it. I’ll definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone craving authentic Thai flavors.

" Fat Mao is unique, offering a cozy atmosphere paired with authentic Thai flavors that captured my taste buds! I had the duck noodles, and they were quite delectable, but the prices were a tad high for what you get. The restaurant tends to fill up quickly, so I'd recommend going during off-peak hours to avoid long wait times. Service was friendly and efficient, making the dining experience enjoyable. Would definitely return for another dive into their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fat Mao Noodles in Chinatown is simply wonderful! The food is unrivaled; I had the duck noodles and they were exquisite. The duck was tender, and the broth was a flavor-packed delight. That being said, I did feel that the prices were a bit on the higher side and the seating was a little cramped, which put a slight damper on the experience. However, the staff made me feel welcome, and their quick service was a plus. So if you're looking for authentic Thai noodles, this spot is for you! " (*Curated Review*)

" After a recommendation from a friend, I finally visited Fat Mao Noodles, and wow, what a treat! The wait was a bit long, which can be expected because the place is often bustling. I opted for the Spicy Boat Noodles and found them to be bursting with flavor. It truly felt like I was transported back to Thailand! The service was attentive but also laid-back, which was nice. I'll definitely be coming back soon to try more dishes on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Speechless after my visit to Fat Mao Noodles! The Khao Soi was an explosion of flavor and authenticity! The combination of ingredients was so well thought out, reflecting true Thai cuisine. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a group meal or a quiet dinner. The staff were friendly and provided excellent service. Prices were moderate for such quality food. Highly recommend!
