It was a busy night but they made room for us at the bar. Food was very delicious. People were so friendly. The owner introduced himself to us and since we were from Louisiana and it was our first time there, he treated us to a slice of his famous banana cream pie. We had the stew and flank steak. The stew meat was so tender and the flavor of the marinated flank steak was delicious.

First opened since 1939, Frank Fat’s is the oldest restaurant to be owned exclusively by one family. I’ve met them and they are lovely. It is the only place where I will eat Chinese food because of consistency, quality ingredients, delicious and authentic dishes. There is not one dish in their menu that I haven’t tried and love. My go to is the chili 🌶️ beef chow fun and honey walnut prawns 🍤 and for their amazing 🍹 adult beverages!! Make sure you make room for dessert for their famous banana cream pie. I absolutely love this place 🫶🏼

I had the short ribs in curry sauce, and I must say that it was one of the best tasting Chinese dishes I've ever had. The meat was so tender and the flavor was phenomenal! My friend had the burgundy fried chicken. It wasn't quite as impressive, but it was still good. I loved the atmosphere. We didn't have reservations, but we were early enough to where they could get us a table. Our spring rolls appetizer came right away, but the main courses took a while. Overall, excellent.

The restaurant is beautiful and has a great service. We selected the lunch specials during the beginning of Oct 2023. I loved the rice with chili oil, it was the best for me after the pork. I asked for sauces because I always need something spicy, and they were great too, specially their homemade oil chili sauce. My coworkers unfortunately didn’t know how to pick Chinese food and ordered something that was Ok. Chicken salad and Kung Pao chicken. They didn’t listened to my recommendations and did not liked their food. I will return again.

A little too pricey for the food quality. The fried calamari wasn’t good at all, very oily and whatever flour it was coated with, wasn’t good. Orange chicken and vegetable noodles were okay, big portion but tasted just like any fast food orange chicken, chicken wasn’t the best quality either. Our server was very nice and it was a quiet place with a relaxing atmosphere.

Frank Fat’s is a quaint cultural experience. The service is exceptional and personal. The people are cheerful, knowledgeable, helpful, and genuine. The people and decor make this a special place to visit. The food was delicious and lovely presented. There is a nice selection of teas. We enjoyed the Jasmine. We had War Wonton soup with a light broth, and a chicken vegetable dish. We so enjoyed our visit. Will return with more photos.

I love this place. The service is top notch and the food even better, consistent and delicious. I have been coming here for over 30 years. If you live in town and have not been to Frank Fats you are missing a great meal.

This is going to be a mixed review. Pros: Frank Fat's was the most accommodating restaurant for our group size of 22 people. Making a reservation was easy, and we were given access to the full menu instead of a prix-fixe menu given our group size. We ordered on the day of our dinner instead of ordering ahead, and they were totally fine with that. We were seated right away, and the service was great. All their dishes are family style, so we got to share and try a bunch of different food items. Finding parking was easy. Cons: Food wasn't as good as we expected. Peking duck was mediocre. Baby back ribs were dry and hard to cut through. One of the chicken dishes was also undercooked.
