About Fat Mao

Fat Mao – meaning “prosperous cat” in Cantonese — is a modern noodle bar by Chef Angus An with a focus on Thai-style soups plus southeast Asian sides and drinks. Fat Mao now has two locations — the original in Chinatown, and the newest in Vancouver’s downtown — both inspired by the small storefronts that have been handed down through several family generations, and specialize in making one dish over and over for decades.

Enjoy flavourful made-from-scratch broths and locally sourced noodles accompanied by smaller dishes of B.C. seafood, house-made tofu and seasonal vegetable salads at these casual 25-seat open-kitchen eateries. Chef Angus recommends customizing your noodles with spicy sauces, oils, and tangy vinegars to personalize your own fun, comforting, and interactive meal.
