I ended up having a great night here despite the restaurant, not because of it. I met two lovely people and we had an incredible conversation. But, the actual experience is not one I’d recommend.
The hostess was oddly pretentious, the servers felt a bit overzealous about turning tables, and the overall vibe was trying way too hard to be “elevated.” Toronto’s food scene is usually warm and humble, so the affected attitude here really stood out.
The bartender didn’t bother opening or pouring my beer, which just added to the lackluster service. As for the food: the bao was fine but forgettable, and the cauliflower–broccoli dish was overly spicy without much balance.
Great company saved the evening, but the restaurant itself is a miss.

Went around 8:30 on a Thursday and got a table after a short wait. We ordered a large plate and a few small plates to share amongst our group of three people (only vegan ones). Every dish was delicious!

Ordered Bao (vegetarian) as a take out. Was excited to try it as it’s a vegan restaurant. Wasn’t very impressed with the Bao as i found it very dry, oily & lacking flavours. Service was amazing - from answering the phone to handing the order over, it was seamless.

After over a dozen visits, I have yet to have anything short of an outstanding meal here. The Feed Me option is always the right choice and service is always exceptional

Some fabulous vegan food with the bao buns a particular delight. Efficient service. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting some tasty vegan food.
A Malaysian-Vegan restaurant, whaaat! We had to try it. We were here to celebrate my wife’s birthday and couldn’t have picked a better vegan restaurant.
We chose the tasting menu - the best way to try all of the chef’s favourite items on the menu.
Heads up: It’s a LOT OF FOOD.
We were warned in advance by our server that opt for the tasting menu only if you’re Really REALLY hungry. We are people will a pretty good appetite, yet we had to take home an entire main - we were stuffed! 7 courses (no dessert included).
The flavours of every single dish were lip-smacking. The order in which they brought it was very good too and created a nice balance of experiences between heavy and light dishes.
Highly recommend Fat Choi. The flavours were so delightful that we’re still dreaming of them.
Great service, great recommendations, lovely vibe!

Nice experience! We got the Feed Me plant based option and it was a LOT of food! I don’t know if it portions were made bit smaller for our table but they should’ve been. some dishes were underwhelming like stir fried veggies, and all the sauces were peanut heavy. Though the rice rolls and noodles were superb. Ordered dirty martinis and they were delicious!

One of the best meals I’ve had! The mezcal cocktail was so nice. The hot honey in the bao was great, and the noodles and tofu/rice were delicious. Loved the fried banana dessert too. Appreciate that they brought each part of the meal out one by one so we could take our time!
Food was not as good as I expected, ordinary vegan food, subpar my home kitchen. Ordered Dalh & roti, shroom braise, Kari hor fun. The service was great, atmosphere is decent.

As out-of-town-ers, having access to extraordinary vegan food is a gift & Fat Choi did not disappoint. Each dish was perfect & the service fabulous.

The staff here are so friendly, efficient, and professional. Our group of three had so much fun bantering with Wing while eating from this incredible vegan menu.
We were impressed by the variety, quality, and price of the vegan tasting menu; we left full and super satisfied.
The cocktail menu is creative and memorable, and we especially enjoyed the Pineapple Pal 8 oz. teapot.
Beautiful, cozy decor. Absolutely perfect for a first date or friends' night out.

Fantastic vegetarian medley of dishes. We loved everything but the slaw. Would definitely come back.
