Fat Choi

What is Fat Choi? Operating as a permanent plant-based counterpart inside Soos at 94 Ossington Avenue, Fat Choi delivers bold Nyonya and Malaysian street-food cooking without any animal products. Run by chef Tricia Soo and her family, the dining room pairs warm ambient lighting and exposed brick banquettes with front bar stools and a seasonal back patio. The dual-concept setup lets vegan diners and omnivores eat alongside each other seamlessly while maintaining dedicated woks and flat tops in the kitchen.

Fat Choi Menu & What to Order The kitchen leans hard into house sambals, tamarind, and wok char rather than relying on heavily processed faux meats. Start with the flaky Malay roti torn through rich yellow lentil dahl laced with chili oil, followed by rempah-crusted black oyster mushroom bao and a smoky wok-tossed vegan char kway teow. For the full spread, commit to the multi-course plant-based "Feed Me" tasting menu paired with a cardamom-infused Matahari Negroni. Finish with pisang goreng, crisp fried bananas drizzled in gula melaka palm syrup.

Know Before You Go Reservations for up to five guests run through Resy under Soos; make sure to note that you are ordering from the Fat Choi vegan menu so the kitchen can prep accordingly. Peak weekend dinner hours between 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. fill up fast, though solo diners and pairs can occasionally grab walk-in seating at the bar. Paid street parking along Ossington is tight, making the 501 Queen streetcar or 63 Ossington bus the easiest route.
