Fat Chow

This is hands down the best Asian restaurant in Bali! Every dish we tried—Thai, Indonesian, or Chinese—was simply outstanding. The Tom Yum was a standout; it's truly the best I've ever tasted from anywhere! For an appetizer, we had the Pandan Chicken, which was incredibly flavorful. The Chicken Cashew was equally impressive, cooked to perfection with a delightful mix of vegetables and sauce. I highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience!

It was already quite a lot of customers when I came here for dinner before 7pm. People started coming in got to wait for 30 to 40 mins. I knew that because I got a table just at the entrance, lucky me, I was a walk-in without reservation. I ordered the satay with rice. They taste really good, especially the satay. The chicken were very tender and thick, very generous portion, one stick is equivalent to 2 sticks I usually eat at local warung.They gave me 8. Nice place to chill and service staffs are attentive and friendly. Definitely will come back here again.

Always stop for dinner when we are in the area. . We usually book as they get very busy, even if it's just two of us. Can't go past the Tokyo Prawns,the Pork Belly and the Pattaya Ribs. Prawns are wrapped in crisp noodles and a great savoury flavour with a neat spicy sambal on the side. Pork belly has a great combination of Asian flavours, greens and Umami. Don't forget to sprinkle the jar of Kremes on your rice for a crunchy mouthwatering treat Ribs are exceptionally good, Thai in style and different to what you will find in traditional Balinese cuisine. I highly recommend trying them. Over all it's great food at great prices, in a cool but not over the top setting. Super attentive staff with a great bartender mixing some epic cocktails. The Beijing monsoon cocktail is fantastic, A combination of rums, with a sweet and our passion fruit edge, fresh bites of jelly cubes and some frozen fruit cubes to round of the experience.. I can drink several of these in a short period of time. Don't miss it!

I’d been wanting to try this much-raved-about Asian fusion restaurant during our Bali trip, and was glad to find they accept lunch reservations. For our group of three, we ordered the nasi lemak, fried rice, Mdm Chan’s omelette, pandan chicken, and Tokyo prawns. Every dish was spot on—flavorful, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire meal. The restaurant had a vibrant yet cosy atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed lunch. I also got to try their Radler beer, a refreshing twist on Bintang with a zesty lemon flavour! Definitely a spot I’d revisit on future trips to Bali.

We've been here twice. We ended up in this restaurant by accident. We ate delicious satay here, very nicely served. Nasi lemak is a nice combination of different flavors and I recommend it. Chicken with cashew nuts is also ok. Nice atmosphere, good team and good music. I recommend it.

The environment is spacious, just is open air condition, during noon time will be a bit hot. The food is really nice! Their "kremes" must try, is really delicious too!

I discovered Fat Chow through social media and was excited to try their food. We visited as a group of eight (seven adults and one child) and ordered a variety of dishes. While the food was good, it didn’t particularly stand out. We also brought our own bottle of wine, which was quite special to us, and were informed there was a RP 150k BYO fee. Since the family was looking forward to enjoying the wine, we accepted the charge. However, when we later requested a refill for our teapot, we were told there would be an additional charge for that as well. This left a negative impression. While I could understand the BYO fee, charging for something as basic as a teapot refill felt excessive and overly focused on profit rather than hospitality. It gave the impression that the establishment is more money-driven than guest-oriented. Bali is home to many wonderful places and restaurants that offer excellent service, and I’m usually happy to pay for quality experiences. However, being charged like this was not a pleasant experience at all.

Fat Chow delivers solid Southeast Asian flavors with a few areas for improvement. The Chicken Pandan was juicy and aromatic, with a well-balanced marinade. The frying was spot-on, though a bit more coconut milk or coriander could have deepened the flavor. The rendang was rich and tender, with a well-reduced coconut sauce and balanced spices, though slightly sweeter than traditional Padang-style. More heat or toasted coconut could enhance it further. The spring rolls were crispy and well-seasoned, with a standout dipping sauce. A bit more texture inside would improve them. The piccolo coffee was smooth and well-balanced, but the Americano lacked depth and had a slightly sour finish. Fat Chow respects traditional recipes while adding slight refinements. The food is worth a visit, though the coffee, especially the Americano, could use some work.
