"If you’ve got an hour to kill in Mar Vista, make Fatty Mart your home base. The colorful market from the Little Fatty people sells everything from grab-and-go bibimbap to orange wine, but for a quick lunch, we recommend heading to the hot bar in the back. That’s where you’ll find things like mapo tofu pizza by the slice, and a fantastic pork cold-cut banh mi. Whatever you end up getting, take it out to the sunny front patio with free wifi and plenty of people working on laptops." - Brant Cox
"Karen Palmer (Contributing Los Angeles Editor, SFGate) describes the owner’s role in neighborhood-building: "I live in Mar Vista, and I respect the way David Kuo is creating a community hub with [this market] and another upcoming concept (all around the corner from Little Fatty). There’s some newfound energy in the area." - Eater Staff
"Fatty Mart is one of the food vendors at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Chef David Kuo will offer orange chicken and Philly cheese steak sandwiches from a grab-and-go window." - Mona Holmes
"I’m excited to see grocery glow-ups like Mar Vista’s Fatty Mart." - Eater Staff
"Housed in the sweeping former Grandview Market space on Venice Boulevard, Kuo’s 5,000-square-foot Fatty Mart opened in May as part market, part pizzeria, and part quick-service counter; it stocks harder-to-find potato chip flavors, Kuo’s pre-packaged orange chicken, and bottles of natural wine, serves thin-crust slices topped with mapo tofu and mole negro developed with Slow Rise’s Noel Brohner, and offers lemongrass chicken bánh mìs — already functioning as a community hub and a convenient coffee stop and cheerful lunch spot for the neighborhood’s Sunday farmers’ market." - Karen Palmer
