It was my first time ordering from 5 fat monks and here's my experience of it.
I ordered Chicken fried Rice and Chicken lollipop.
It was a combo and must say that I am pretty much satisfied by it.
The quantity was really good.
The lollipop had an amazing taste but it could have been cooked better.
Liked their fried rice too
One thing I also loved was their packing.
Will surely visit their store once too.
Thank you

I’ve tried their Bandra West outlet which shut down a few years back. But now that I was in Kandivali, I thought I’d give it another try. It did not disappoint, love their woks.
I ordered the lamb chilli, lamb in coriander and parsley sauce, clay pot rice, and lemon chili rice. I loved the way the lamb was cooked; sliced thin and cooked until tender. The lemon chili rice is my favourite but the clay pot rice comes a close second. Loved it all!!! ❤️
Tried the salty pepper chicken, sweet basil chicken and chicken dumplings.. the food was just fine nothing bad but just fine..
Service is good and ambiance pretty fine too
Ambiance 3.5/5
Food 3.5/5
Service 4/5
Overall everything was good but still could be a little more better!

We loved the food, the service, went in with less expectations but was pleasantly surprised. Not spicy good Chinese food in budget. Didn't experiment but the basic that we ordered was tasty and made very fast too.
Great place for Chinese food

The best part about the whole experience was make your dish.
We got to pick out the ingredients we wanted in our dish and choose the kind of noodles we liked and the sauce
Would definitely visit again
Five Fat Monks - It is located in Thakur Village. Far from station but easy to locate. I went there with my family to try its chinese, asian and thai food. We loved the food. Service was fast. We did not have to wait for long time for our food. You can place the order from online also as they do home deliveries.
What I tried,
⚪ Silky Pan Fired Dimsun
Outer layer of this dimsum was thin and silky. It was pan fired but very oily. Could be less oily. Filled with finely chopped veggies. Tasted good.
⚪Spicy Basil Chicken
It was flavourful chicken with the hint of basil. Spicy in taste. Chicken was fresh and juicy. Most recommended.
⚪Slurpy Suey
My all time favourite dish. I had in veg so it had paneer pieces into it. Perfect in taste.
⚪Burnt Garlic Rice
This rice was perfectly cooked and prepared. The strong taste of garlic was amazing. It was garnished with green onions.
Five Fat Monk is loacted in Thakur village, Kandivali East. This place is specially for chinese cuisine. They do deliveries at your doorstep or you can go for dine in also.
I tried,
Silky dimsum: dimsum was filled with finely chopped zucchini & carrot and Soya sauce. Veg dimsum was pan fried and it was too oily. They needed to reduce oil in it.
Chilly Paneer: square shaped paneer, tossed in chilly, bellpeppers and green onions. I liked the taste of it. Highly recommended.
Burnt Chilly rice: burnt garlic flavored rice tossed in green onion and Soya sauce. Garlic taste was mild. But tasted good.
Visited five fat monks with my friends for the first time at their kandivli outlet which recently opened. We decided to have lunch here as we have heard a lot about this place from our colleagues.
We ordered:-
1.Shanghai paneer:- Soft and delicious pieces of paneer cooked in spicy red snd green chillies is one of the best appetisers.
2.lemon Iced tea:- My all time favourite drink to sip. This was very refreshing and a good thirst quencher.
3. sweet and sour sauce and Chicken lemon chilly rice. A decent mild lemon flavoured rice served with a lip smacking gravy should not be missed at all when you visit this place.
The staff here is well trained and very co operative. They take care of your orders properly and greet you with a big smile. We had an awesome experience here.
After waiting for a long time for FFM to open near my place, this place finally showed up in Thakur Village. It has A decent seating arrangement with both Ac and non Ac sections with quite a few tables. They serve good quality asian food and we were delighted with our experience here.
What we ordered:-
1. Peach iced tea:- Rarely do i see restaurants making such a perfect glass of iced tea packed with loads of flavours.It is a truly refreshing drink and you should definitely order it.
2.Thai chicken dumplings:- These chicken dumplings were loaded with chicken and tasted amazing. The covering was soft as it should be. I would recommend FFM to serve this with a dip which was missing.
3.For the main course we had the burnt chilly noodles and chilly garlic sauce (both chicken) and we absolutely loved the way they cooked it. Succulent pieces of chicken and veggies with an array of spices make this one of the must try dishes here.

Asian food makes me happy!
Discovered Five fat monks as one of the nearby restaurants on Zomato, Visited by choice and loved the place because of its good food, great service and lovely staff.
This joint is only 3 months old and is already the favourite spot for many. I visited this place on a weekday post work with a friend and couldn’t help ourselves but fall in love with some of their dishes. It’s a very small place with an open kitchen and seating area divided into two sections viz. outer section and the inner section with an AC.
The service and staff are the best part of this outlet. I guess most of my menu suggestions were from Kavita (Our attendant) and I really liked the way they were courteous, suggestive and just great at their work.
Coming to the food that we tried: I Totally loved the Chicken Sui mui Dimsums. My second best and recommended dish from the menu is Prawn Chicken Trinity in Noodles and The Zen Hen in Rice. Also do try the Sesame prawns Toast (Its yum and try to eat it hot). In drinks, I really wanted to try the Juices options from their menu as they have some great list of Healthy drinks but they were not available :( so I had to settle with the Iced tea.

Five Fat Monks kandivli
It is Located in a commercial area and near thakur college is a great place to visit. It has Asian ,chinese cuisine. The place is small but perfect for a date or meeting between a couple of people. The place has good music playing all day. Service is a bit slow .
What I tried here :
Bites:
1)Sanghai paneer
2)Chilli Bombay Patato
Out of the two of them I'd recommend you to go for this one.
Box veg wok:
You can make a wok of your style and add whatever you love. This is really great . you can select your own base , then comes the protiens followed by veggies, sauce and the garnishes. I ordered plain noodles with paneer and different veggies , for the sauce i selected sapo which turned out to be great and garnished it with onions and garlic.
Gravy:
Id suggest you to go for Soy chilli sauce.
Overall a Great place to visit.

I placed an order for the following for CHILLY BOMBAY POTATO, FlAT NOODLES WITH HOT SOYA GARLIC SAUCE AND A DRAGON PANEER GRAVY. I absolutely loved the chilly Bombay potato. It was cooked to perfection. Generously fried with some sweet soya sauce, and tossed with crispy veggies. The only downside though was that the service which was slightly slower than the usual. The main course was Flat Noodles with red Bell pepper, Spinach, Baby Corn & panner cooked in soya Garlic Sauce and garnished with some good fried onions. The noodles and the bites were poles apart in terms of flavour as well as the spicyness. While the soya garlic sauce was mildly spicy . The vegetables were fresh and exotic and used in good quantities. Also the noodles to add up with some good spicy dragon curry.The curry was though not that spicy but good to get on with the noodles.
The Five Fat Monks is a highly recommended restaurant if one seeks a place that offers to be reasonably priced & some authentic chinese cuisine with some pleasing ambience and decent service.

If you are craving for some amazing Pan Asian Cuisine this is the place you need to head towards.. Five Fat Monks is majorly a delivery outlet but has around 4 dine-in options in Mumbai. I personally love pan Asian cuisine and totally loved what Five Fat Monks had to offer. The ambiance is decent but the service and food is outstanding.
Appetizers:
After taking some suggestions from the waiter, we ordered for #ChickenSuiMai Silky Dim sum and #SavouryPrawns for appetizers. Both the preparations were amazing and supper delicious the Dim Sums were open Dim Sums and pretty much just melted in my mouth. The SavouryPraws were so flavorful also the prawns were really fresh that adds to the flavor of the dish.
Mains:
For the mains we ordered from the Specials menu, we picked the #PrawnChickenLambTrinity Noodles and #BigMonksSpecialChicken. I absolutely loved the PrawnChickenLambTrinity, it had amazing balance of flavors where as the BigMonksSpecialChicken was a little tangy, it was a combination of rice, noodles and gravy and is a complete meal in itself.
Beverages:
I also ordered for a lemon iced tea which was also good.
Overall I had a wonderful dine in experience at the Five Fat Monks and also the restaurant is reasonablly priced which is also great.The service was fantastic and quick. I would really like to visit again to try their Wok experience. I would absolutely recommend this place to all foodies out there who are looking out for an amazing Pan Asian Dine in restaurant :)

Serving you some good pan asian cuisine, five fat monks is an outlet that you should try for some delicious food. This outlet was near to my home and wanted to drool over some asian food. The restaurant has quite bright accents with a combination of poppy orange and white colour with beautiful light fixtures . The ambience and atmosphere of this place is really cool and you can see a sort of open kitchen. The menu was quite interesting and so we relished upon the following:
• Dim sum •
1] Country style dumplings: Soft steamed rice flour dumplings that were cooked perfectly and consist of fine chopped vegetables. Hot dumplings just melts in your mouth!
• Appetiser •
1] Butter garlic prawns: Pan seared prawns in creamy butter garlic sauce and veggies. The flavour of garlic just elevated the taste of prawns making it more delicious. The sauce was creamy and well coated to prawns. A good appetiser to munch onn!
• Mains •
1] Go green rice: A combination of garlic rice with a gravy full of healthy greens like bokchoy, spinach, beans and carrots making it very healthy. The portion size was sufficient enough for 2 people. Personally liked the taste of this dish!
2] Coriander parsley chicken curry: Chicken gravy that perfectly compliments the rice and a good choice to have onn, thick brothy curry with soft tender chicken! Was absolutely worth trying on!
3] Burnt chilli chicken noodles: Noddles tossed in wok with exotic veggies and burnt dry red chilli. The noodles were very appealing and had good aroma! You just can’t resist completing it fully!
It was a good experience dining here at five fat monks and was very happy with the food and service! The food was indeed very tasty and the service was quick and seamless. It’s my new favourite place to munch on Asian cuisine.
Had Chilli 🌶 Lamb and Crunchy Chicken 🍗 Wings... The lamb was very well cooked,meat was tender and gravy was very well balanced. The crunchy Wings can be a lil bit more crunchy and the batter in which the wings were dipped can be a lil more spicy. But in the end All I can say is Feichang hao de shiwu...tai hao le!!!😃
Five Fat Monks is one of those few places which always satisfies my cravings for Pan Asian Cuisine. I've never left unsatisfied when I visited this place.
We started off with some really rich Butter Garlic Prawns and some amazing Salt and Pepper Chicken. Both of them cooked to perfection and just amazing. In the Mains section we had the Zen Hen Rice Bowl, and it just completely blew my mind. One of the must try dish at the place. We also ordered the Peach and Lemon Iced Tea, which complimented our dishes. It's Always a Good Time at Five Fat Monks.
Pan Asian is my go to cuisine, and Five Fat Monks is my go to place for it. Located in Kandivali East, it's really close to my office. What I Had here:
I ordered the Salt and Pepper Chicken which was just amazing. The chicken was succulent and completely cooked. I also ordered the Butter Garlic Prawns which was buttery and really Tasty. We also ordered the Phat Min Noodles with some Chicken in Devil Sauce, which complimented the noodles and made the whole meal a really enjoyable one.
Awesome delivery I did not expect the delivery to be so fast! Enjoyed the Bao’s excellent fish and vegetables in my choice of sauce! Served hot! Its good to have good eating options in the neighbourhood! Thank you!

Chinese food or Indo-chinese delicacies have found a way to hearts of most Indians. I personally love having Chinese food as my junk late night cravings.
Five Fat Monks has been a dear place since a long time and I couldn't help but have a meal here when I wanted to try out few dishes.
A small, cozy place to dine in with staff being quite courteous and efficient service accompanied, my experience here was a good one.
What we had:
😊. Country Styled Dumpling(Veg); The ingredients were teh real deal.
😋. Chicken Sui Mai Dumpling; highly recommended.
😇. Fish chilly; beautifully glazed fish fillets in well spiced gravy. A Highly recommended appetizer.
🖤. Sapo sauce(prawns): Love seafood till I die. And boy, this sauce does so much justice to my beloved Shrimps.
💗. Dragon Sauce(lamb): A good blend of all the spices and fresh ingredients to make it all the more a lipsmacking sauce to accompany the Rice.
❤️. Mixed Fried Rice(chicken + lamb + prawns + veggies)
Need I say anything more? The best I could have here.
Needless to say, I love Five Fat Monks.

We all know how cool Five Fat Monks has always been! With a couple of other branches in the city, it is a reliable name for good Chinese and Pan-Asian food. They are known for the variety they offer. FFM mostly has the classic sauce flavours with their unusual touches on them. This comparatively new outlet in Kandivali East is where I headed to on a weekday evening with my friends.
The place is a small one with 6-7 small tables. Ambiance is pretty decent, and so is everything else here. We tried some things and had mixed reactions for them.
*Appetizers:
*Chicken Sui Mui Dimsums: The classic half open dimsums with yellow outer layer. The layer was good, neither too thick nor thin. Talking about the filling, it could have been more flavourful I feel. Texture if the mince was good, but the overall filling lacked intense flavours. - 4/5
*Fish Chilli: A very nice one! Nothing very unusual about the flavours, was like typical chilly flavoured starter. Also, it wasn't very spicy as the menu says. But fish was nice. Soft and fresh. Loved this one. Personally, I liked that this one didn't have extra veggies. Just fish and a few chops, that's it. - 4.5/5
*Mains:
*Prawns in Sapo Sauce: Another one that wasn't very spicy although there are three chillies shown on the menu. This was my favourite one out of all the dishes. Something different and really nice. - 4.5/5
*Lamb in Dragon Sauce: Nicely cooked lamb chunks and shreds in this medium-spicy gravy. Decent dish that one can order without thinking twice. - 4.5/5
*Malaysian Noodles: Total disappointment! Plain maida flat noodles without any taste. Nothing at all. And hardly any veggies. Didn't like this one at all!! - 0.5/5
*Mixed Fried Rice: If you love chicken and lamb and prawns as well, this one is a MUST TRY! Nicely done meats and prawns and good quality rice prepared in mild schezwan sauce. Goes well with all kinds of gravies. - 5/5
*Lemon Chilly Chicken Rice: Not very great, can be avoided. Somehow it tasted like homemade poha. Taste wasn't very tantalizing, otherwise chicken and rice were nicely cooked. - 3.5/5
It seems that this place is good for basic dishes. Or maybe I need to visit here often to try everything in their menu and then make my decision.
Concluding:
Food: 7/10
Presentation: 7.5/10
Ambiance: 7/10 (simple and decent)

This Chinese restaurant is hidden in Kandivali East. Their concept is they serve Aisa in the box.
The food was delicious ❤️ and the service was also good.
We would love to get once again a mouth watering Asian.😍😍
We visited this restaurant as part of my desire to explore the newbie in Thakur village and my love for oriental cuisine . I must say I returned utterly happy and tummy full. The genesis of Indian Chinese cuisine can be sampled at this restaurant.Service was adequate. A little more refinement was expected on service. Overall it was a good experience, where the main dishes were very tasty and good, specially the Golden fried prawns in butter and garlic and big monk special,kung pao chicken all of them were equally delicious. Overall a good dining and a satisfying outing.
Super food. Brown rice is good to go with Asian cuisine. Less quantity but good quality.Over all good experience. Happy with the service. Polite staff.Small space to sit but overall a comfortable experience.
This outlet opened a week back in Thakur village, Kandivali east. I had a vegetarian make it your way with rice, paneer and veggies cooked in burnt chilly sauce. Quantity was good and so was the quality. The wok was perfectly cooked. No complaints.
Would definitely visit this place again !
