We tried the Fat Fries with the beef 10/10, the Crab Bao was a little creepy looking 🤣 but definitely a 10/10, the Asian chicken bao was delish but slightly spicy.....still delish. The burrito ragoon, on the secret menu is a must. It is huge though. Bring a foodie buddy and enjoy! Staff was nice. Food was good. Will definitely be back.
Came here after seeing it blow up on TikTok—had to try the “secret menu” crab rangoon burrito. It was decent, but didn’t quite live up to the hype. I also tried the pork belly bao buns, which were just okay—nothing particularly memorable. With so many great food options in Houston, this spot lands at a solid 3/5 for me. Worth a try if you’re curious, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to come back.
This review is based on the viral crab rangoon burrito, which is a limited-time item. I’ll update my review if I try anything else from their regular menu. The crab rangoon burrito didn’t really taste like crab rangoon. It was extremely creamy and heavily filled with cream cheese almost to the point of being overwhelming. After a few bites, it started to feel a bit sickening, and I don’t think I could finish more than one slice. It was missing that traditional savory, umami flavor, and instead tasted only like cream cheese. The outer layer also didn’t hold up well. It wasn’t strong or crispy enough to support the filling, so everything felt soft and fell apart. It honestly made it difficult to eat without a spoon (which they did include). It was also overpriced at $16
A couple of years ago, there was restaurant food and there was food truck food. The places on wheels somehow had more boldness to make wacky stuff that didn’t seem like it should go together, but once I’d bite into it, I was like YESS! Fat Bao is that same formula but with a bathroom and no wheels. All kinds of weird flavor combos that seem unfitting until you try. I’m convinced that every one of their little baos are fire because I didn’t have a single bite that disappointed. The onion rings were unreal too. Great/quick service, and the atmosphere was good too. I’ll be back like the Terminator. So good.
Had the Korean chicken bao which was a good mix of sweet and spicy. 5/5 The walnut shrimp bao is interesting but not for me. Too sweet and dessert like but I can appreciate the hash-brown disc like puck of shrimp inside. 2/5 The crab daddy bao was interesting because I wasn’t expecting a whole fried up soft shelled little crab guy in my bao bun. A tasty dude though. 5/5 Staff are kind and make good recommendations. The duck bao bun is apparently the most bought from their selection. Looking forward to trying it next time!
