Fat Mao Noodles Downtown Vancouver Lunch [Review]

I had revisited Fat Mao Noodles Downtown Vancouver (BC Canada) location for a quick lunch. This is the brand’s second location with the original one located in Chinatown.

The concept by celebrated local chef Angus An is a modern noodle bar with a focus on Thai-style noodle soups.

What We Tried

We ordered the following:

Vegetarian Khao Soi $22

Steamed cauliflower and tofu puffs in a Northern Thai curry. Garnished with beansprouts, pickled mustard greens and crispy noodles. Served with Flat egg noodles.

My go-to order! I love the bold flavours and the creamy & sweet flavours. The crispy noodles add a lovely textural crunch.

Tom Yum Seafood Noodles $23

Hot and sour seafood soup with shrimp, squid and fish balls. Asian celery, peanuts and crispy shallots. Good for those who like a bit of spiciness to their noodle bowl!

Thai Iced Tea $6

*UPDATE* On a different visit to Fat Mao Noodles Downtown, we tried the following:

Fat Mao Ceviche

Tuna, mussels, herb vinaigrette and yam chips

Braised Beef Noodles

Braised beef in an aromatic soy broth, Asian celery and lettuce

Nham Ngeaw

Rich pork ribs & pork blood in tomato soup. Garnished with mustard greens, fried garlic & chilies, and red cotton tree flowers. Served with thick rice vermicelli

Shaved Ice

Thai Iced Tea Panna Cotta with shaved ice topping, syrup and condensed milk

Milo Roti

Asian-style flat bread with condensed milk and chocolate powder

The space is clean, contemporary and service is quick and attentive.

Fat Mao Downtown Vancouver is located at 983 Helmcken Street, Vancouver BC.
