Eureka Casino? Where's that? Fat Choy still retains the diner look of its predecessor but it's definitely an upgrade from Sheridan Su's former location in a salon.
I've been craving baos all week made worse by a friend who posted a photo of homemade Momofoku-inspired baos. After being turned away at Bacchanal, I turned to Yelp in search of baos.
We ordered both the duck & pork belly baos (one order is $7 and codes with two baos). I love the duck's crispy skin with the special sauce (the recipe is actually displayed on the wall). The pork belly is braised overnight for 6 hours and is perfectly tender. It's served with mustard greens. My fiance doesn't typically like sour notes in his food but he found the mustard greens to be the perfect counterpoint to the sweet sauce.
We also ordered the Fat Choy burger which comes with a half pound beef patty, shredded short rib, bacon, and topped with a fried egg! I only had a bite but it was pretty heavy with fatty goodness.
This is one of the best surprise meals I've had in a long time. I wish they simplified the decor to something clean and classic but the shiny red diner seats won't deter me from going. And it doesn't seem to deter other Yelpers. The food is just so good that I'd love to see them expand.
Don't forget to check the board for specials. I was really looking forward to roasted bone marrow & forgot about it until I saw it on the board while walking out. We definitely will be back!
