One of the best food u will eat everything was amazing and top quality and amazing waitresses, and especially the chief Albert
It’s good! Vietnamese restaurant from the heart of city and in the Casino of The Star for people who loves Pho and Vietnamese food! There is also desserts in the restaurant! It’s so convenient!
Came here for the lobster special in June, ordered the $29.99 XO lobster with glass noodles. It came with a whole lobster, loved the tasty xo sauce, the meaty lobster and the sauce to mop up with the glass noodles. It was literally half price so great value. Also ordered the black pepper beef which is a signature dish, it was average, I did find the beef slightly tough, perhaps over cooked or not tender enough.
The restaurant is inside the casino gaming floor itself so not the best ambience, would be keen to try the chef’s other restaurant in Surry Hills.
Their chicken Pad See Ew is really really good! Lots of flavor and the noodles are really soft. We also had the salt and pepper squid and that was nice and soft too. The food came out super quick and we were seated pretty quickly considering there was a bit of a line! I would definitely go back to try the other dishes

I have eaten here a couple times but never thought it was worthy of a review. This time, it exceeded all expectations hence the 4 star rating. The only reason why I'm not giving a 5 is because the waiter asked us to pay the bill before our food came out because it is a new policy. I asked the waiter if we could pay later as my partner was drinking and wanted to order more drinks to avoid confusion, but she was hesitant so we just paid straight away.
I initially ordered the watermelon juice but the waiter said it was unavailable (even though I already paid for it) so I ordered the ice mint and lime soda instead. I didn't like the drink. She charged me $7 for the watermelon juice but the mint soda was only $5.50. She only realised the difference in price after I pointed it out and returned $1.50.
The spring rolls were fresh, salt and pepper squid was full of flavour and had just the right amount of spice. The Angus Beef was also fresh and delicious but there was not enough meat compared to noodles... other than that, I can't complain.
Will definitely be coming back, next time I'm at The Star.
May 2017Yum ! Quick bite to eat, spring rolls (delish and 3 x large ones), prawn wonton noodle soup (scrummy!) and a couple of beers $47.50Will be back.
I have been going here frequently since it first opened. Can I start with saying it serves the best Laksa I have had in Sydney 😋 visited last week with 4 others. Food was amazing as expected! I ordered the salmon sashimi (was a little too thinly cut but delicious none the less - a wasabi sauce would have been nice with it) I also had the Angus beef dish without the noodles. It was fresh and delicious! (I was on a diet and they accommodated accordingly - hence no noodles) Service is very good and our waitress made it easy and was very polite and attentive. Will continue going back! I love you Fat Noodle! 🤗
Really love the beef pho! It's so tasty with the slice of Angus beef and briskets, I like the rice noodle with chilli sauce.
The Hananese chicken seems nice too.
Mark and James’ Kiwi uber driver recommended coming to Fat Noodle for our pre-theatre dinner, on a Monday night (the show, the final Hats Off fundraiser was SO good, an incredible array of performers from the world of musicals and shows). Going through the food court, it was absolutely packed with everyone else going to the show. So, why not? We headed up to the casino, where it’s tucked into a corner surrounded by pokie machines and other gaming areas. It’s a weird place to be.
Love this place. Pho is one of my favourites and it's a fresh, clean tasting dish but the meat can sometimes be fatty. Menu changes frequently but the popular items stay
Great service and was very quick to get food.. the food was tip top.. the location of the restaurant is convenient especially if ur having a little gamble.. Definitely a good spot!!
Price is so surprise,I think it's very good for a restaurant in Casino. Food so good as well. I love it. Shame haven't took any pictures,cause the food so good.
Been a few times and the noodles are delicious. First time I tired Singapore noodles here and I enjoyed the dish. The rice papers rolls were really disappointing and extremely expensive for two little rolls. Don't bother with anything but noodles here.
This place is great for a late night feed. After drinks at the house/club, it’s a go to spot that’s open late. Yea it’s a bit random in the middle there with the casino on the side, but once the food arrives it’s easy to ignore that. Service is fast and there’s always waiters...
It is interesting that Fat Noodle is located smack bang in the middle of Star Casino. My friends and I were very happy to land upon this after being hungry for hours and most places shutting at 10:30pm. The dumplings were good, above average but not the best I've had. Overpriced of course and the food came out a few minutes before our drinks. Good place to go if you are in desperate need of a feed; however there is a more varied food quarter just across the threshold with the pokie machines.
Fat noodle, a quick, cheap eat at the star casino
We were very impressed with the prices of the food delivered.
We recommend the mint & lychee iced drink & we absolutely loved the salt & pepper squid & the prawns
A viet/Asian outlet in the hustle of the Star. I am quite impressed by its pho: creamy Angus beef and flavourful broth (can taste Thai basil :) But the cinnamon grilled prawns are weird in taste.
The most important thing: it opens until 5! Good news for night owls since we don't have to go Macca's!
The location, in my opinion, is a little bit awkward however I suppose it encapsulates that busy bustling lifestle that south east asia is certainly known for. But when you're tucking into a big bowl of pho and watching you're surroundings you almost feel a little out of place for eating in the middle of the casino floor and not joining in.
A little bit pricey but the money is well worth it with high quality, high flavoured street food coming out freshly made to order and within a reasonable time.
The restaurant itself is open till 2am but don't think that you can show up and expect it to be empty at 1, its more likely than not going to have a healthy crowd.
Good spot for a late night feed however it's super busy at all hours. The fresh oysters were really fresh and tasty. Service is fast. The restaurant is in a really busy part of the casino so it's best for an after club feed rather than a date night.
This one's a surprise - For a place stuck in the middle of a casino next to the depressing and noisy pokie machines.. This place exceeds expectations. We gave this a crack only on the basis that it's a Luke Nguyen restaurant (and we were staying 45 seconds away) and it did not disappoint. Food was tasty and satisfying.. Service great and efficient.. And the price what it should be. Don't judge this place based in its location.. It's a little gem in the darkness.
For starters, the place is open all hours. So if you're craving asian food when kitchens are closing, this is the place. I fell in love on my first visit with a luscious oxtail soup, however the pad thai, beef pho, and duck curry are all winners here. I haven't had a bad experience. Speedy service, stellar food and ultra convenient hours make Fat Noodle a no-brainer. Kirin please!
5/5! Fat noodle inside the star casino, it's so flavorsome and amazing light. Wagyu beef noodles...You have to eat this, no words can explain how good this place is.. its not the alcohol talking, I promise! Wait in line is approx 10 mins but once your seated they leave you be :)
Put some money on black jack and go here for pad see ew. Prices are premium here but who cares - your in a casino .... Customer service is attentive and i love the casino floor vibe.
My friend Paolo, who's based in Sydney, and I decided to go to the Star Casino in Sydney one night and try out Vietnamese-Aussie Chef's restaurant called Fat Noodles to warm up ourselves since it was winter when I visited back in August. The placed was packed and this salmon noodle is so good! It was so tasty. Love it! Well done, Luke Nguyen! I watch TLC and I am a fan of Luke so it was a tick of my bucketlist to dine in his restaurant!
Had dinner last night at one of the Star's signature restaurants, Fat Noodle by Luke Nguyen. Entrée consisted of silken tofu which I thoroughly enjoyed and the signature Pho for the main course. The pho wasn't bad but lacked any real flavour, I had to keep adding chilli sauce to spice it up. Overall the food was average but not bad if you're looking for a bite before a night out in the casino.
Yummo! Live this place. Had a late dinner here after drinks out with friend. I ordered the pad see ew and asked for it chilli. And it was! Lots of flavour and great serving!!! I'll definitely like to come back soon to try.
Always a good feed especially late night after a night out and drinks. Service is always quick , i always order the seafood laska, quite a good portion, the soup is full of flavour and extra hot just the way i like it.
I went here after playing games.
It's in the Casino area, always busy and located in very convenient place.
service was average, the food was delicious.
I ordered 'Wagyu beef Rendang' , the serving was quite large.
The wagyu was really tender and nice.
Everything I've tried so far in the menu has been amazing! For a restaurant in The Star it is decently priced and the quality is really good. The staff are very accommodating and food comes out very quickly. Only issue I've noticed so far was my friends udon she ordered was crazy salty. We weren't sure if it was meant to be as my noodles were perfect but it didn't make it inedible. I personally prefer Asian food from more run down restaurants as to me it tastes more authentic. However, I will definitely be back to try more!
The worst thing about this restaurant is having to go inside the Casino. However, if you can get over the fact that you're walking around in the least classiest venue in Sydney, then once you're in - the food is pretty tasty and not unreasonably priced.
I'd hesitate and say it isn't as authentic as it purports to be, but I'm hardly the expert. Certainly you get generous servings and the staff are friendly and efficient.
BEST LAKSA IN SYDNEY! Try it and you will not be disappointed. While you're waiting for your laksa, have the salt and pepper silken tofu for an entree.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Can I just say that I am TOTALLY ADDICTED to this place. Whenever my partner and I go to the casino or when we are looking for a high quality dinner, we always go here!
The service is polite, very professional and very orderly and on time.
The food servings are relatively small but its amazing quality and the taste is beautiful! The drinks are at a great price (below $6.00) and are also really great and refreshing. I always order the Vietnamese Coffee (you can even get it take away) and a few others, the only one I did not like was the Milk Tea, it literally tasted like water...
For the food I usually order the Pho. The rice dishes are also very filling, very high quality and decent, lots of flavors and very healthy.
This place gets super packed though, I love when they ask you where you would prefer to sit because some places just shove you wherever they please and I do have preference as to where to sit, so I love that they do this.
The hours are amazing too! Restaurants with hours that are limited are frustrating especially when going out late, they close at 5AM!! WHICH IS AWESOME!
Love this place, havn't had a bad experience YET, hope their food quality is always great and they don't make any of the portions smaller ever because it is pricey for sure!! Definitely do not expect cheap eats for this.
Fat Noodle is a fast-paced Asian fusion restaurant headed by Vietnamese chef Luke Nguyen. Located in the casino of The Star, going to Fat Noodle makes you feel as though you’re in the middle of a Macau casino. The staff, the food, the music, everything here is fast. And just how I like it. We started off with our favourite Vegetarian Spring Rolls ($11 – Glass Noodles, Wood Ear Mushrooms, Tofu and Carrots). Despite being an absolutely terrible photo (sorry!), the spring rolls, as usual, were absolutely delicious. Perfectly fried to crisp perfection, with the perfect balance of vegetables and noodles. Next up was the Salt & Pepper Silken Tofu ($12).

Fat Noodle is nestled inside The Star's gambling floor, this Asian fusion restaurant is helmed by celebrity chef Luke Nguyen. Although the menu is heavy with Vietnamese cuisine, there are Thai, Chinese and Malaysian influences found throughout. L and I found ourselves at the Fat Noodle for dinner after a day out in the city. Fat Pho Noodles $19.50 The Fat Pho Noodles uses Luke's signature beef broth as the base, and its incredibly rich and full of umami. There's a generous serving of thinly sliced Angus sirloin & brisket heaped on top of the rice noodles. Fresh basil, bean sprouts, chilli and mint is served on the side to allow diners to customise to their liking. Pork Pad See Ew $18.50 L's Pork Pad See Ew was full of flavour, the pork was succulent and the noodles were cooked well. Iced Milk Tea with Black Pearls $5.50 My Iced Milk Tea with Black Pearls arrived slightly warm. Will I Return Probably not unless I find myself on the gambling floor of The Star.

Many nice good quality dishes you can choose from…whatever you choose you know that they use good quality ingredients…
The beef in the pho noodle soup is high standard!
I liked their fried tofu..and also wow their oysters were fresh!!
I went there a few times, and tried most of their dishes…all of them were quite good!

Located in the Main Gaming Floor of the casino, Fat Noodle is a busy and bustling new eatery serving 'Asian Hawker Market' style dishes to the hungry visitors. Clay Teapot I love how they used a clay pot (with a dragonfly design too!) instead of the usual
Fat Noodle isn’t new on the scene, in fact I had heard that the food is pretty good. I knew it was located somewhere inside Sydney casino The Star, where, I wasn’t quite sure. What I didn’t know was that Fat Noodle is one of Luke Nyugen’s restaurants. Now, if I had known that bit of information before I may have sought it out earlier.
...ordered pork & prawn wonton soup with vermicelli noodles for our mains. it was a delicious idea.

First Birthday Shout Out Kudos to the zany Luke Nguyen and his crew at Star City 's Fat Noodle for hitting the big first birthday milestone, and serving up 200,000 steaming bowls of their fabulous pho to hungry gamblers. I attended the birthday party, rubbing shoulders with foodie favourites like The Sydney Morning Herald 's Stephanie Clifford-Smith, media darling Adriano Zumbo, blogger Chocolate Suze, and Time Out wine expert Mike Bennie. Whilst we threw back bowls of Chicken and Abalone Congee and struggled to scoff Roast Chicken & Pickled Cabbage Salad with torturously small forks, it was reassuring to see meal after meal heading out to the neighbouring baccarat tables. I bet it's easier to bet wisely with a full stomach. www.starcity.com.au STOP PRESS: Sustainable Seafood This Friday the 18th March is Sustainable Seafood Day , so if you swallow something from the ocean, do us all a favour and consider it's species and the fishing practices
Fat Noodle is pretty PHAT! I'm pretty adverse to the monstrosity that is Sydney's Star City casino. It's like Vegas was in the 80's, all garish carpet, lighting, indoor plants and so on. The only reasons to visit are to eat there and even that has been an unsteady path with restaurants and chefs who have come and gone such as Lanzafame and Sean's Kitchen. In recent times, they've managed to lure celebrity chef of the moment, Luke Nguyen of Flying Fish fame and author of the pretty awesome cookbook, Songs of Sapa, into the plastic fantastic monolith. Luke is a 'consultant chef' at Fat Noodle and I have no idea what that really means. Did he just look over the menu and say 'yeah, that looks like a bit of alright' or did he meticulously design, taste and plan the menu? Who knows? It's become trendy for modern chefs to diversify their talents and share the love in cookbooks, other restaurants, foodie events, etc etc. Welcome to the Master Celebrity Chef ('MCC').

Fat cats and fat wallets may be apt associations with a casino, but now the link is stretching to noodles - fat ones. Amidst the renovation and rejuvenation of the Star City casino complex in Pyrmont, through the lights and action of the gaming floor, the

I was recently invited to attend Fat Noodle's first birthday celebrations and was so impressed by the food at the event that I just had to return a few days later. Fat Noodle sits on Star City's gaming floor and features large communal tables as well as another section with standard tables. Because it is on the gaming floor, young ones are not permitted and I had to go through the hassle of getting my ID checked. I know it won't be too long before I start taking the ID check as a compliment ;) Anyway, as you may or may not know, celebrity chef Luke Nguyen is the consulting chef to Fat Noodle and surprisingly, the menu does not stick to his Vietnamese roots. The menu is in fact predominantly Chinese with influences from South-East Asia. As they put it, the menu offers a fresh twist on traditional recipes and ingredients . The paper menu also acts as an ordering card (be warned, they scribble on it as you order) and placemat,
Always good and fresh. Always good and consistent with their food. The oysters are so fresh that they are like alive always. Plus very quick and polite service all the time. Bit pricy but definitely worth it. I'd recommend the silken tofu and the angus beef. Looking at the reviews, don't order the pho though.
Great tasty food, quick service, only downfall is that its inside the gaming area
Pretty good. I was pleasantly surprised given the not great ratings Fat Noodle receives. Strange location (on the gaming floor) but we were seated straight away by an enthusiastic waiter and the good service continued throughout our meal. Food came quickly and was both fresh and tasty. Value was fairly good too considering we were eating at the casino.
Great Food and Service!. Loved that I got seated immediately and the service was great throughout the night@ The food was delicious.
Yum- went here last night for dinner got the spanner crab and abalone congee, I steered clear of the pho after seeing all the reviews, we will be back for sure, service was good and servings were decent!
Yummy modern Asian. Fat Noodle is now located at 'The Star' formerly known as 'Star City'. The location hasn't changed but it has been rebranded as a gourmet food lovers paradise with offerings by several acclaimed chefs. Luke Nguyen's association with Fat Noodle holds its own in the price bracket where no dish is over $19. I had the Hainan Chicken Rice ($15) which was exactly that but made with more love and better produce than usual. The chicken maryland was poached so that the delicate flavours came through, the rice was tasty, the broth touched up with some small cubes of tofu and spring onions and the 2 sauces of grated ginger pounded with some garlic, S&P and the chilli sauce, both house-made. Delicious and filling!
The first thing I look at in a place is customer service... I guess that the service here is just amazing... the team is welcoming, prompt, very helpful and ready to make the experience really nice.
The food is outstanding in terms of taste and presentation... It was worth the 15 mn walk on a freezing night 😊
Fast Service. The food was tasty and didn’t need extra seasoning! 10% off for members when you swipe your card! Below are member specials until the end of March! I do think I wouldn’t have paid the full price for those dishes if I didn’t receive the member discounts as they were very small portions!
This is another one of my Favs, when at the Star Sydney, the food is great, fast and taste just wonderful. You can see the Chef's busy cooking your delights, service is always great too, its eat and go back to the Gaming Floor, nice and handy when you feel like a quick bite its just there, you can just about smell the flavours....
