It’s a real struggle to find a restaurant that serves authentic Chinese food without the extreme usage of sausages, food color & definitely without the use of MSG.

So when I saw Five Fat Monks on Zomato gold, I was intrigued and decided to give it a try.

Below mentioned is my overall experience at Five Fat Monks.

Ambiance

The ambiance is funky with good lightning but does not have the feel of the traditional Asian/Chinese restaurant. The chairs although colorful and photogenic but the lack of cushioning makes it uncomfortable to sit for a long time.

 

A projector streaming the World Cup Match was a welcome
Furniture was funky but the comfort level was less due to no cushioning
The overall quality of the crockery used was good. Even the menu card was crisp and clear
Wall decorations further increased to the overall ambiance

Food

Food is obviously the most important part of a restaurant and I was happy to see all the food items that we ordered was really good quality with the use of authentic ingredients. There were no artificial flavor or msg added and I loved the cutlery used that was traditional Chinese ones.

Hot & Sour soup was tasty and the ingredients used were of good quality
The best Veg Manchurian I have had till now.
Burnt Chilly Noodles
Bao Wow Chilli Szechuan Chicken

Service

Service is again something that plays a very important role in your restaurant experience. Even here Five Fat Monks scores really good with courteous staff and food was served in minimum lead time.

Conclusion

 

If you stay in and around Baner area and are looking for authentic Chinese food then you must visit Five Fat Monks for their food and service.Â
