Wagyu burgers, Japanese curries, and katsu dishes
"You might be aware of the Chubby empire throughChubby Cattle, an upscale yakiniku chain with a wagyu membership program called the “Chubby Club.” Much like superhero shows, there are also a growing number of Chubby spin-offs as well, including Chubby Curry. The menu is built around Japanese curry, a homey dish that’s less flashy than wagyu, but we’d argue, more satisfying. The curry here is excellent—so rich and silky that you could sip on it like beef-flavored eggnog. And true to the Chubby brand, luxe touches show up as well, with options to add buttery marbled beef or roasted duck as a topping. Mostly though, Chubby Curry is a good “casual for Beverly Hills” option that works for a filling lunch or a weeknight dinner, particularly when sliding up to the bar for a plate of curry with a little extra polish sounds comforting." - Cathy Park
"Chubby Curry is offering three courses for $25. Appetizer options include nori curry fries or cucumber salad, while the eponymous Chubby Curry with wagyu and chicken katsu are both available as mains. The restaurant is serving mochi for dessert." - Rebecca Roland
"Most go to Chubby Curry for the eponymous curry, but the burger on the menu is a must-order. It’s a behemoth of a wagyu burger topped with caramelized onions and sandwiched between a golden brown bun. The best part is that it comes in at $18 for an eight-ounce patty." - Rebecca Roland
"Chubby Group’s rapidly expanding empire of Japanese wagyu restaurants has found a foothold in Beverly Hills with an ode to casual curry dishes. Using some meats from the group’s pricey Downtown restaurant Niku X in attainable curry dishes, diners can indulge in high-end wagyu without the elevated price tag. Curry udon noodles come in a hot skillet topped with maitake mushrooms and sliced wagyu round for less than $20. The thick, well-seared curry burger is easily one of the best new burgers in town. Many of the restaurants in Beverly Hills will break the bank, but Chubby Curry certainly won’t." - Matthew Kang
"This Beverly Hills spot is from the same people as Niku X, the upscale Japanese yakiniku restaurant in DTLA. Rather than wagyu beef sets with smoke effects, the specialty here is simple Japanese curry and tonkatsu. Besides the classic pork cutlet, there’s also chicken and mushroom options, plus a burger with lots of caramelized onions and curry aioli." - Sylvio Martins
