Opened in 2016, little fatty is Chef David Kuo’s ode to his Taiwanese roots. The name “little fatty” is the translation of Kuo’s childhood nickname, “xiao pang” given to him by his family. At Little Fatty, the menu features renditions of typical Chinese restaurant classics, such as kung pao chicken, braised pork belly and walnut shrimp. Also, Taiwanese staples like Sunday Gravy (lu rou fan) and scallion pancakes will be holdovers from the original menu. Kuo’s focus on quality of ingredients are paramount in creating an accessible menu that is both authentic and unpretentious.
