Fat Noodle is situated right in the center of the Star City Casino and is justifiably receiving the reputation as the casual dining Asian Street Food restaurant that must be experienced!

Head chef Luke Nguyen is one of Sydney’s top celebrity chefs and best-selling author of cookbooks Secrets of The Red Lantern and Songs Of Sapa. Kenji Lai is also a head chef who prepares the delicious mouth-watering dishes that guarantee return patronage.

Whether patrons are in a hurry for a quick meal before venturing off to try their luck at the casino or in need of a long dinner date with friends, this restaurant caters to everybody’s needs.

The only issue confronting customers upon arrival is that there are so many delicious meals to choose from on the menu. So the question is, what do I order to experience all the flavours of Asian Street Food?

The new menu is divided into five categories – small plates (entrees), wok dishes, Luke & Kenji’s Signature Dishes, Rice & Noodle and Congee. The menu also incorporates a vast drink selection that includes signature cocktails to complement these dishes.

For two people dining, Kenji Lai recommends commencing with three entrées. The vegetarian dish Rojak Mamak, which is a combination of sweet potato, pineapple, cucumber, fried tofu and satay peanut sauce along with the Atlantic Salmon Tartare and Blue Swimmer Crab & Heart Of Palms.

The Hokkien Style Fried Prawn Noodle which contains succulent king prawns and squid follows, alongside one of Luke & Kenji’s signature dishes Fat Pho, a combination of sliced wagyu beef, angus brisket and rice noodle in an aromatic broth.

And what cocktails would complement these flavoursome dishes? The signature cocktails lychee gin lemonade or perhaps a coconut paradise for a refreshing taste.

Lovers of hot chilli won’t be disappointed but for patrons who haven’t the pallet for hot spices need not worry! Just inform the staff and they will advise and cater to your dining needs.

Takeaway is available, and meals can also be delivered locally. Friendly and speedy service, appetising meals, the ambiance of the surrounds and the open kitchen where the preparation of dishes can be viewed, are the five key factors that will have patrons returning with family and friends over and over again. A great dining experience!
