"I found Phat Eatery in Katy to be a local institution known for Malaysian curry crawfish, founded by the late chef Alex Au‑Yeung and now with Blood Bros. alum Terry Wong serving as culinary director." - Kayla S. Stewart, Matt Ortile

"The beloved late chef Alex Au-Yeung opened Phat Eatery in Katy in 2018, focusing on Malaysian street food staples like roti canai and satay skewers. Au-Yeung succeeded in making it a must-try destination, ultimately expanding its seat capacity to account for its popularity (a second location opened in the Woodlands in June 2024). Trendy yet casual and affordable, diners should prepare to order a slew of signature dishes, like its big and juicy curry-sauced crawfish, shrimp dumplings, and house favorites like sizzling black pepper beef, and Hainanese chicken with a trio of sauces for dipping. Visit its more spacious location in The Woodlands, which features a dining room with wide windows that give views into the areas lush wooded areas." - Brittany Britto Garley

"Late chef Alex Au-Yeung’s ever-popular Katy Malaysian destination serves one of the most inventive fusion crawfish dishes in town with a unique boil made out of coconut milk and curry sauce. Decadent and rich in umami, this Malaysian meets Viet-Cajun style crawfish special is only available for a limited time (historically around March) during peak crawfish season, so be sure to turn on notifications on the restaurant’s social media profiles; then, venture down to its location in Katy or The Woodlands." - Brittany Britto Garley
