Recently, I visited Fant'asai, nestled within the PH'East store, with a curious palate and high hopes for a unique culinary experience. The restaurant, which seemed promising, offered an intriguing mix of dishes.
Upon arrival, I noticed the ambiance was casual and inviting, setting a good stage for a culinary adventure. However, the service left something to be desired. The attendant appeared somewhat detached and not fully acquainted with the menu, which dampened the initial excitement. Despite this, the wait for our food was pleasantly brief, a redeeming factor in the service experience.
Our meal consisted of Puerto Rican fried rice and Mongolian chicken. The Mongolian chicken was the star of the evening - flavorful, well-seasoned, and simply delicious. It was a dish I would happily recommend. On the other hand, the Puerto Rican fried rice, while enjoyable, didn't quite hit the mark in terms of authenticity. It was good but fell short of capturing the essence of true Puerto Rican fried rice.
Portion sizes were generally adequate, though the serving of Mongolian chicken seemed a bit scant, leaving me wanting just a bit more. Despite these mixed feelings, the culinary journey at Fant'asai was overall a positive one. The menu still piques my interest, and I remain eager to explore other dishes in the future.
In conclusion, Fant'asai offers a mixed bag - a promising venue with potential for a fantastic dining experience, slightly marred by service inconsistencies and portions. However, the quality of the dishes, particularly the Mongolian chicken, ensures I'll be back to try more of what they have to offer. Hopefully, future visits will see improvements that elevate the entire dining experience to match the quality of their...
Read moreYUM! Admittedly, the first time I came to Ph’east I saw this was Chinese thinking I can get this anywhere, walked away and went to another place I already knew and loved. 4th visit here and that other place was closed. We almost left but something told me to just try Fan T’Asia.
OhEm Geeee... I knew not what I was missing! The flavor. Okay, so my friend and I ordered a few different items.
Honey Pepper Chicken Wings - Great wings with great flavor.
Squid - it was good. Not number 1 but close. I would definitely order again.
Mala Seafood - I like it hot okay. The first bite was so good, but I thought I wanted more heat. Glad I did not add anything because the more I ate the hotter the food was. It came full with seafood like I was not missing anything. This dish gets a 10/10
Mapo Tofu - my friend ordered this. She said it tasted authentic. And she was singing about her plate as much as I was singing about mine. I tried it and it was very good.
The food was prepared pretty quickly and the lady looked at us to make sure we were happy.
The only thing I am sad about at this moment is that they are not open today because I would definitely go back.
This is definitely not “normal” Chinese and no, you can’t get...
Read more! DO NOT EAT AT FANTASIA ! this had been my favorite place to come eat for a long time and it’s a treat for my family as it’s quite a costly night. for years we have been coming and enjoying the food and bubble tea. unfortunately, we revisited on sunday (9/1/24) and got what we always do, bubble teas and food at fantasia. during our meal we discussed that we could tell the management at fantasia had changed bc the food tastes different and then halfway through eating … i found a small worm type bug (still alive) in my food. customer service is amazing still, i let the cashier know and we were given a refund for that meal. she did inform me that i am not the first to have had this happen .. so i don’t know why they didn’t throw out the food that was linked to this issue and continued to serve it knowing it was contaminated. after this i couldn’t eat anything else and had to leave, even my husband didn’t finish his food bc our appetites were ruined. i feel awful leaving a poor review but i sat on this for a couple days and cannot let it go unsaid for someone else to be served...
