We had the sushi it was excellent ones of the best we had, ambiance was good full on a Monday, service tho wasn't bad but not the best either. Will return, we loved the food.
I'm never coming here again. I had high hopes when i asked if they had soy paper substitute and they said yes. Then everything went downhill from there. We requested to sit outside, I immediately noticed the droopy plastic flowers on the side (not very hygenic and very close to me) my friend and i dont drink and when we were asked what we wanted to drink, the menu has NOTHING but alcoholic bevs. I asked if they had anything without alcohol & the response was they have non alcoholic beer (no thanks) and that they could make any of their beverages not alcoholic but looking at the menu, i couldnt imagine any of that tasting good at all. So the options were get a non alcoholic beer or a very overpriced gross mix. So we just drank water. Then came the actual food and service. I ordered The Golden Hour w Soypaper and my friend ordered a steak sushi special they had. Mine came w fried lotus chips (which seemed to have been fried days ago because they were not crispy or even warm, just cold and soggy) the roll itself was smothered in some siracha sauce that took over the entire flavor profile. They also for some reason put both of our rolls on one dish, no other plates for ourselves or for the very dirty almost empty soy sauce dispenser. It was a bit insulting and we did not want to tip the server well because he seemed ro have a bad attitude the entire time. The ingredients not thought out or executed well and the service was abysmal, never coming here again. Reminded me of hipsters trying too hard and not knowing what theyre doing at all but wanting hype and money, no thanks.

Best meal I've had in the city so far. The food and drink were all phenomenal and reasonably priced.
The air conditioning was not working and we were sweating during our dinner. The food was excellent as always. 
No AC and the hostess put us in the sun. Waitress hardly came over to us. Between the heat and bad service it was a terrible experience - we will not be going back.
Went here for a lunch date and Fat Baby is definitely my go-to sushi place if I’m looking for reasonably-priced, quality sushi. The rolls were extremely fresh, slightly warm/room temp instead of feeling like they were straight out of the fridge like most other places. And it was DELICIOUS. All of our rolls were super flavorful, and there wasn’t too much of any one ingredient over powering any piece. I can’t remember the exact rolls we picked, but I believe 2 of them were the specialty E.T. And Rainbow rolls.
The crab rangoons come in 4 big pieces and are for sure the best I’ve ever had. The crab tastes so fresh, the sauce was delicious. Cant recommend enough. I can not recommend the wagyu bao bun sliders though, it’s a nice idea, but the flavor was lacking and I wished I would gotten something else. 5 stars for everything else though!
I spent about $100 (including tip) for 2 appetizers and 3 rolls. The ambience was very nice, both outside and inside, and out server was attentive but also let us enjoy our moment. :) Would totally go back!

Fat Baby – ★★★★☆
I came here after walking out of the bar next door (Hunter’s Kitchen) due to poor service—and I’m glad I did. The experience at Fat Baby was the complete opposite.
The bartender was great—attentive, welcoming, and actually took the time to walk me through the bourbon options (limited, but at least he knew what he was talking about). Always smiling, always present. It makes a huge difference.
Cool vibe, good energy, and solid service. This place knows how to treat people right.

Had a nice lunch with my friends here today- thanks!
Everything I’ve ordered from here has been absolutely on point. This place is amazing. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar.
Really great experience at this restaurant. The food was really good and it’s a nice place to just hangout.
Cool place. Reasonable price for what we got. Great service and very unique options.
Fun little Asian fusion restaurant in the South Bay Area. The cocktails were great and the rolls were better. They were swamped the night we went so our dragon roll was delayed but they comped that and gave an additional free roll. Great customer service.
