FattyMart

"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

"A community hub in Mar Vista, led by David Kuo, fostering a sense of 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

"Kuo’s 5,000-square-foot Fatty Mart, meanwhile, had been in the works in the sweeping former Grandview Market space for years before it opened in May. The space is part market, stocked with harder-to-find flavors of potato chips, Kuo’s pre-packaged orange chicken, and bottles of natural wine; part pizzeria serving thin-crust mapo tofu and mole negro-topped slices developed in collaboration with Slow Rise’s Noel Brohner; and part quick-service food counter with lemongrass chicken bánh mìs." - Karen Palmer

"Fatty Mart is a multi-hyphenate space created by chef David Kuo. It combines a market, hot food bar, takeaway counter, and on-site dining. The venue features a variety of food stations, including Mexican, Korean, Vietnamese, and American dishes, curated by Kuo and culinary director James Lai. The space is designed with flow and intention by the Design, Bitches team and Curato, and it includes areas for culinary demos and breezy patio dining. Fatty Mart also sells packaged goods, fresh produce, and prepared meals, making it a comprehensive culinary destination." - Farley Elliott
