👍👍 The food here sent me on a journey like that food critic in Ratatouille. I am really glad I had the chance to eat here, the food is so good and made me reminiscent of Malaysia! We ordered the FC Feed Me set menu and it was so worth it, there were 7 dishes and each one was so flavourful! 10/10 would...

    The food here was incredible. Expensive, but incredible. I have no idea what they put on the edamame, but it took a whatever dish at most restaurants to something out if this world. We had the tasting menu and were so glad to try such an array of foods. Everything is veg, which is also awesome. Highly recommend for a special night.

    Also named and under roof off “Soos”, was bit confused when I try to find it. Foods were great, tasty, creative, able to see and feel the passion of chef, specially it’s Char Siu Bao and Spring tofu , very impressed!

    Great stop for vegan and non-vegan food. It was crowded but luckily we got a seat at the bar. Our server was very warm and she gave us great recommendations. The char siu bao was my favourite. The steamed bun was soft and the seitan was a perfect filling that was crunchy and flavourful. The tofu was cold but the black bean sauce was delicious. Unfortunately I missed taking a picture of the fried chicken but that was perfectly made. Thank you team Fat Choi! We will be back for more very soon!

    Fat Choi is making us all fat boys with how good their food was. Go for the feed me option if you can. Everything was delicious, good portions, for two people. The charsiu was way better than I thought with the seitan cut into thin slices, cooked well and somewhat similar to charsiu, and the sauce was good. The cauliflower and broccoli was also scrumptious.

    Cannot recommend this restaurant enough. We did the “Feed Me” tasting menu and it was so flavorful and filling. We also tried both desserts and a few different cocktails. The cauliflower dish and fried bananas were our favorites of the night.

    We went for a dinner on the patio and chose the "Feed me" menu option, where the restaurant picks the dishes for you. All the food was vegan and they were happy to accommodate dietary restrictions. The food was excellent - we particularly enjoyed the daahl with roti - and there was more than enough for the two of us. The cocktails were also delicious. Highly recommended.

    Walked in at 9.29 pm sharp after calling them 10 times on their landline and they declined to take my TAKEOUT order saying last call is at 9.30 pm. Nobody answers the phone even at 8.15 pm even . The server went to the kitchen and did me a favor by saying 90% dishes are unavailable. Later the owner walks in and declines to accept even that. Being a vegan and always supporting local restaurants, l thought l would patronise this one as l LOVE Asian vegan food. But take your business to SAIGON LOTUS IN KENSINGTON MARKET. SKIP this outlet. They DO NOT need your business. Ruthless. I drove 25 kms away just to try this place and order for 4 people. I do not wish to review this way, but hope this review saves other enthusiastic patrons to stay away to avoid disappointment. PS : Tell your servers to answer or return calls if they ask you to call ahead and order.

    Holy heck This was such a welcome surprise. I heard this place was good but it’s amazing. Definitely worth doing their chefs menu to taste everything. It’s a tapa kind of place so get ready to exchange astonished looks!

    I made a reservation a week in advance to take my daughter for a special birthday dinner. We got seated on very uncomfortable stools a few feet from the bar. As there was a table in the dining area free, I requested we be moved there but were told that someone reserved that table. When I reserved I was not given the option or made aware that you can choose seating so I realized this was a lie. The hostess/waitress did not offer to move us when something opened up she was very unapologetic and unprofessional. She neither guided us to the coat stand and one would not be able to hang ones coat on the stool, lol. For a restaurant that offers multiple small dishes to share they should have larger tables to accommodate this with a table large enough to actually fit the dishes. I noticed she was not our server and she probably saved the choice seating for her own guests We just left. Luckily we were a ten minute walk from Fresh where we were treated really well and seated in a beautiful space and ate at a fraction of the price. I heard really great things about Fat Choi and we were very excited to eat there but they failed on a very basic level. I worked in the food industry for years as a server so I am usually very understanding and not picky but this was stupid. It's not enough to serve good food especially when you are charging a lot, you have to be hospitable as well its a whole package Fat Choi!

    A nice selection of vegan dishes. The rice cakes and winter tofu were our favourite, and the cauli/broc dish was nice and tangy. However, the noodle dish was an odd assortment of veggies which seemed to lack flavour cohesion and had a very soft texture. Would’ve loved a crispy element (more than just kale) and less sauce perhaps. Overall nice vibe and service.

    Came here for a birthday dinner. The menu is inside of Soos restaurant and advance reservations are recommended. I think we had a total of 8-10 courses and they were all delicious. From the Char Siu Bao, noodles and dumplings they were superb. The ambiance and staff attentiveness were on point. Drinks were strong and smooth too. Looking forward to my next visit.

    I know, I know seems exaggerated but trust me when I say you’ll be singing hallelujah and doing a little dance when you try their food! Instant favourite, after just one bite I knew they’d be on my top 3 list of fave vegan restaurants

    Fat Choi is an exceptional Malaysian vegan restaurant hidden inside Soos restaurant near Ossington and Queen. Entirely vegan, they have a creative east and south Asian inspired menu. I recommend the Feed Me tasting menu and letting the chef take you on a tour. Favourites include tofu and sticky rice, cauliflower and broccoli, and rice cakes. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Parking is difficult as always on Ossington, take transit or ride share.

    The share menu is super perfect for a date of any kind. The portions are proper and it will leave your taste buds happy. Super awesome for plant-based and non plant-based folks. Also, the music selection was A1.

  • 5/5 Kaitlyn L. 9 months ago on Google
    Delicious vegan food! I honestly don’t think a meat eater would be able to tell that it’s vegan. Everything we had was great but the bao buns were particularly outstanding.

  • 5/5 Natasha M. 10 months ago on Google
    Located inside of soos, this is one of my favourite restaurants in the city. Every dish is so good, and the tasting menu allows you to try a bit of everything! Vegan Malaysian food at its best!!

  • 5/5 Akima G. 9 months ago on Google
    They have 2 menus: a vegan one and a non-vegan one. You can mix and match at your table if you wish.

    Visited Fat Choi last night with some friends. There were originally supposed to be 5 of us but a 6th joined at the last minute. Because we then had 6 people, we were forced to order the "tasting menu" and the restaurant had no flexibility on this. We arrived at 6pm and were told that despite our table spending almost $600 including drinks, tax and mandatory tip, we would need to be out by 8:00pm for the next seating. The service was incredibly rushed and new dishes came out before the last ones were finished, to the point that we had food piling up on our plates. The server was incredibly rude and inflexible and made the dining experience very unpleasant. In addition to all of this, the restaurant was unbelievably loud and despite being in the back, we couldn't hear each other speak. The food itself was plentiful and tasty, but the price tag was unnecessarily high for breaded cauliflower, coleslaw, pad see ew, fried vegetables and bao. Overall, this was a terrible dining experience. We live in Europe and this was an annual reunion with our local friends which was very negatively impacted by this meal. None of our party will be returning to Fat Choi anytime soon.

    Fat Choi was phenomenal! My partner has several food allergies and they were so accommodating, and the food could not have been better. Delicious food, warm atmosphere, excellent service. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!

  • 5/5 Quinn V. 1 year ago on Google
    My partner and I went to Fat Choi last weekend, and it was one of the best dinners we have had in the city so far. We ordered three of their plant-based dishes, and each one was equally as delicious as the next. I also had a house brewed ice-tea which was refreshing and crafted with care. The restaurant itself is small and intimate, and the wait staff are kind and attentive. We cannot wait to go back!

    While the "Feed Me" tasting menu started off a little slow, by the end I was stuffed on the best food in Toronto. Unpretentious and approachable, the food, service, and saying are all extraordinary. Let me say this again - The Best Food In Toronto.

  • 5/5 Sonia T. 1 year ago on Google
    The menu is a mind-blowing, palate-pleasing journey with incredible flavors and textures! I had the 'Feed Me' option where they choose multiple dishes at a set price and loved every little surprise that came to the table! I walked away completely satiated and will 100% be back. Thank you chef!

  • 5/5 Sunita P. 2 years ago on Google
    This was my 2nd time here. Very flavorful vegan food, nice atmosphere, clean washrooms, friendly staff and did I mention how amazingly flavorful their food is!! Only thing I'd change is their portion sizes because they're a bit small but packed with flavour.... but even with that said I still think they're 5 stars!!

  • 5/5 chloe 1 year ago on Google
    My favourite meal of my entire Toronto trip (and possibly my favourite vegan restaurant thus far). All the food was 5 stars and none of them disappointed. The roti and dahl was perfect to start us off. The roti was flaky and the dahl was nicely seasoned. The crispy mushrooms had a nice chewy texture and a nice dip on the side. The red chili broccoli/cauliflower was flavourful with a mild hint of spice and the batter was crispy. The char kway teow might have been my favourite as the faux meat was smoky and the noodles were perfectly cooked. Portions are a little small considering the price but considering the quality and taste of the food I'd say it's worth it. They change up their menu so I don't think they have some of these items anymore but I'm pretty sure whatever you get it's gonna be good :)

  • 5/5 Rob P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great spot! Their menu has vegan versions of things you won’t see in other restos. If you want really good south East Asian style vegan food this is your place.

  • 5/5 Justin H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great vegan tasting option called "Feed Me" is so much food. We were so full, but we got to take some home. The bao sandwiches with crispy stuff in it were they best. There were mushrooms which I don't normally like but I couldn't tell they were there. So many good crispy things.

  • 5/5 Ethan W. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a great time here with my wife. We chose the "Feed Me" dinner service off the Fat Choi menu, and boy did it ever hit the spot. One of the better dining experiences I've had in a while - the food was exceptional. Johnny behind the bar was awesome.

  • 5/5 Salima V. 2 years ago on Google
    I don't think I could say enough to do this restaurant justice. I've been dined in many times pre-covid and have ordered takeout several times during, and it's always been a culinary adventure. Every dish is just exquisite. If you ever had any doubt about vegan food and its infinite potential, this place will blow your mind. And if you're going in person, order the 'feed me' option. You're welcome!

  • 5/5 Amy T. 2 years ago on Google
    One of Toronto’s best vegan options - holds up for takeout or dining in! Ate on their patio on the weekend and got the “Feed Me” tasting menu, everything was amazing! Great and attentive staff, especially considering how busy they’ve gotten with indoor//outdoor dining opening up. Can’t wait to go back!

  • 5/5 Sarah F. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing service, amazing food! Especially good for a mixed crowd of vegan/non vegan. I was blown away.

  • 5/5 Meghan T. 2 years ago on Google
    Interesting vegan tasting menu with unique/delicious flavours and great portion sizes! We will be coming back. Also, try a cocktail. You won't be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Madiha M. 2 years ago on Google
    Cozy space, wonderful staff, delicious food. We will definitely visit again!

  • 5/5 Paul B. 2 years ago on Google
