  • The stars don't tell the whole story. I know people look at three stars and assume "Oh, it isn't worth my time." Not true. Yes, this place is a dive. Yes, it is filled with smoke. Yes, the location isn't...ideal. But folks should still check this place out. in spite of the reviews. And yes, in spite of the smoke. We only had three items on the menu. We had the short rib grilled cheese, the duck bao, and the pork bao. The food was very tasty. The bao was thoughtfully prepared and the meat in each was seasoned well. That crispy skin and moist meat drew me into both bao options. They were solid. The grilled cheese sandwich was gooey and flavorful. And the bread was toasted perfectly and the meat inside was generous and just sweet enough to cut through some of the heaviness of the sandwich. But it was too greasy for me. I was good at the first few bites---I should have stopped there and tried another dish. Here is the part that you might not understand about this place--there is a heart to the food that cannot be dismissed on the basis of grease, and location, and even smoke. Even without knowing the owner's story (see other reviews) you can taste the thoughtfulness and energy in each bite. These dishes were not thrown together in an attempt to get doors open. They were crafted and tweaked to achieve a specific balance---even the greasy grilled cheese (which was very well flavored, by the way). I cannot imagine the pressures that a small restaurant has to endure in that kind of setting (small locals casino). I saw people wandering in during a break in their slot play to have a burger followed closely by what looked to be Yelper hipsters looking to try the newest location. Fat Choy has a diverse audience to consider and I am willing to cut it some slack in its efforts toward making their new location work for their customer base. I think this business is worth the trip to the Eureka Casino. I think it's worth battling the smoke and stepping over some colorful locals. I admit something about the story does appeal to me. But more than that, the food appeals to me. I will be back.
