“guess the "it" moment has passed, and now it's settling for comfortable respectability.”
“Good sound system downstairs, DJ can be good but beware of weak drinks.”
“Their sushi is to DIE for and their meals always have huge servings.”
“My GF and I still choose to eat there a lot because of diverse cocktails, the chill decor, and the decent sushi.”
“It is by far my favorite restaurant in Brooklyn.”
“find the service to be so friendly and very quick, and we are often greeted w/edamame on the house.”
“I'm a long-term patron of Faan, often going 3-5 times per month with friends for really good, affordable dishes.”
“This was affirmed last night when I ordered a dish that has long been my favorite (the sesame chicken) and it arrived fatty and with an off taste.”View Less
Consistently good food.
I've lived in several Asian countries and enjoy being able to visit Faan and revel in a specific few dishes. (I'm the kind of person who finds a good dish and will order it repeatedly).
The martinis are ridiculously strong, but its the Chicken Panang Curry that I go back for which reminds me very much of Malaysia. The pad thai/flat noodles are a little on the oily side (deducted one star for that), but i love how consistent this place is and how they are always quick with the service (and the free edamame).
Try the Chicken Panang, and you can't go wrong!…
Mystery Beef. I ordered the Beef Panang Curry here. Never have I eaten beef with the suspicious consistency i found in this dish - chewey and rubbery and just downright inexplicable. While chewing, I felt like I was never going to being able digest it. I have eaten here before (mostly sushi) - and have ordered-in numerous times in the past with success. Not sure what's going on here now. Be safe - don't order the Beef Panang.…
Go somewhere else. This place was so bad. But maybe it was because it was like 2 in the morning when i went to the restaurant. We ordered chicken skewers, dumplings and something like silky spice seafood noodle soup-- everything was gross -- even the dumplings. Service was pretty fast & efficient.…
awesome sushi; awesome service.
My friends and I have been going here regularly for two years. I've been to plenty of great sushi spots in manhattan; Faan is always my favorite for sushi and chinese. The sushi/sashimi for two is a
GREAT value. I LOVE their spicy scallop roll, and my boyfriend consistently gets the sesame chicken. Their sake martini is wonderful.

average at best. the food in general seems to be average at best, certain dishes seem to shine more than others and portions sizes seem to vary greatly, i ordered the salmon thai style and was presented a nice size portion but when i bit into it i was greeted with an over cooked filet that lacked the quality i was expecting it tasted like the salmon you buy in bulk at a costco or sams club, the curry sauce accompanying it was very watery and seemd to be dependent on chunks of canned pineapple to bring out its taste. My friend ordered the sea bass and was given food that would only fil a small child with its tiny portions the sauce used for the bass was a basic brown sauce that any chinese takeout spot in nyc can make with ease…
