Lamb shoulder. Order 2. Recession special and everything else on menu.
JM ParveauxJanuary 31, 2015
Great innovative Thai/pan Asian food + great cocktails!
Juliana UribeOctober 9, 2011
Got to order the lemon mussels. After, just pour the sauce into any rice. Amazing! To drink, order the coconut water!
Laura BouldenApril 2, 2013
Amazing food- the pickled watermelon and crispy pork belly is an absolute must!
Vinaya VishwanathJune 9, 2015
Chilli crab is very good. Veggie buns also good.
Tarah FeinbergJune 14, 2013
Pork bun starter is heaven on a plate.
Winson WongFebruary 4, 2015
This place is not bad. It's authentic enough but pretty pricey for Singaporean / Malaysian food. The pork is good, crab is decent, vege portion was tiny. Clay pot is average. Overall it's ok.
Pueblo Viejo TequilaDecember 21, 2016
If you visit Fatty Crab don’t forget to pair your favorite dessert with Pueblo Viejo Añejo
Grace CheungApril 16, 2011
The Chili Crab was the lowest level of heaven. Dip the bread in the sauce. Nasi Lemak had lots of exploding flavours too.

Must must get the half lobster w glass noodles.

This place has excellent crab! A must try
Zach MaierDecember 15, 2011
Good selection if spicy drinks that compliment the food well. Try the michelada or the chupacabra.

Try the "recession special", a slippery slope since 2008...
BravoJanuary 27, 2010
In the West Village. Don't miss the Pork Belly & Pickled Watermelon Salad. The Skate is pretty fantastic too. -Laurine Wickett, Top Chef

Pork sandwiches are amazing!
Leandro LageraMay 29, 2016
As eclectic as it gets. I liked but felt too greasy for some reason.
Aimee DuellJune 28, 2011

Kristoffer ThonerOctober 19, 2015
Best pork buns that we had in NYC.
Suejin YangMarch 15, 2009
The pork belly sliders and chicken rice are ridiculous. Also, the bread and sauce that accompany the signature crab dish can be ordered as a side. Don't miss out on any of this!
Rowan BeneckeNovember 10, 2013
Try the Char Kway Teo! Spicy chow fun noodles. Yum
Albert WengerNovember 23, 2013
Pork buns - add the cilantro into the bun!
Annie TolochinskiJune 25, 2015
The main dish was so spicy I couldn't eat it. Pork buns were actually really good but coupled with a pushy waiter - I wouldn't come back.
Pueblo Viejo TequilaMarch 3, 2016
If you want to freshen up with a delicious cocktail at Fatty Crab, try a Paloma mixed with Pueblo Viejo Blanco.
JonAugust 7, 2015
Get the crab sauce with Texas toast.
Momar VisayaMarch 3, 2012
Try the Chili Crab - Specialty of the House, Chili Crab with chili sauce, white toast
Srini SamudralaMay 19, 2014
There is no rooftop! ;) but the place is awesome!!
Melanie W.February 20, 2013
Do yourself a favor and order extra toast to soak up the sauce from the chili crab.
Shah Abdul-WahidJune 15, 2015
The worst Malaysian/Chinese food I have had the misfortune to eat. Waited years to try this place - the was no singular good or authentic taste to any of the dishes. The rendang was sweet. Go figure!
Leslie RichinJuly 29, 2013
Get the watermelon and crispy pork. Life changing.
Sam SaundersJune 8, 2011
Stop your gushing. This place is seriously over-priced on all levels: from wines to apps to mains. Get on the train and go to Chinatown. Save yourself about $100 for two, easily.
nantini rauchDecember 20, 2010
Been here 5+ times
i'll have the usual please: pork buns, duck, watermelon/pork salad, fish & sambal, coconut rum drink...

when you are in the mood to work for your food: chili crab for sure, delicous, messy and great bread to sop up the chili sauce
Stephany GoldzbandJanuary 18, 2016
Delicious and flavorful food
Masha MurakhovskyFebruary 10, 2012
Super spicy food, not for the faint. Papaya & mango salad is so so so good!
Pueblo Viejo TequilaFebruary 15, 2016
When you visit Fatty Crab, start by ordering a delicious cocktail mixed with Pueblo Viejo Blanco.

Wear long pants if you're going to sit outside in the summer; this is a mosquito alert.
Pueblo Viejo TequilaDecember 29, 2015
If you are in Fatty Crab, try a real Mexican taste, order a Spicy Paloma mixed with Pueblo Viejo Blanco.
YunsunDecember 28, 2010
And, if you don't want the mess of the crab, you can just order a side of toast & the chili crab sauce!
Matt AromandoJanuary 18, 2015
Share stuff, it's all good!
Michelin Travel & LifestyleAugust 16, 2011
It’s true…the chili crab is a must. Messy, but a must! - Inspector

Jim Botsacos, chef of Molyvos, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Steamed buns. Read more

Try the Steamed Buns with pork - Live the boiled egg with the sauce.

If you love coconut get the coconut rice and rum&coconut drink. Yum!
Andria CantuSeptember 22, 2012
The chicken clay pot was fantastic!
Philip PaulAugust 1, 2010
If the weather is nice, sit outside. This is really exquisite Southeast Asian seafood. The dining room music is way too loud, alas.
