Master Critic Review

Fatty Mart 7.8
Mar Vista
A compact Mar Vista market-café from the Little Fatty team that leans into grab-and-go dim-sum adjacent comforts like baos and dumpling snacks. It’s not a traditional yum cha hall, but the steamed bun program and casual counter format make it a smart local stop. Best for quick hits rather than long feasts.
Must-Try Dishes: 3 Cup Chicken Bao, Pork Belly Bao, Garlic Noodles
