Chubby Noodle

Chubby Noodle in SF is the ultimate Sunday brunch spot if you’re looking to kick back, grab a crew, and dive into bottomless mimosas with a side of party vibes. This place is a whole experience—a lively DJ keeps the energy up, and the atmosphere feels like a perfect mix of brunch and day-party all in one. The food is fantastic, with dishes that are both bold and satisfying, perfect for sharing with friends. Their Asian-inspired flavors are unique and absolutely delicious, which is one of the reasons it’s so popular. It can be a challenge to get in because everyone wants to be here, but that’s part of the charm. Chubby Noodle is the place to be on a Sunday for an unforgettable brunch with good food, great drinks, and an unbeatable vibe.

**Review for Chubby Noodle, San Francisco** I recently dined at Chubby Noodle in San Francisco, and it was a delightful experience! The food was incredibly tasty. We ordered the Mongolian beef, and the meat was juicy and tender—truly a highlight of the meal. Following that, we had the garlic noodles, which were nothing short of spectacular. The flavors were well-balanced and delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant is vibrant and welcoming, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend Chubby Noodle for anyone looking for a satisfying and flavorful meal.

Review from a takeout order: ordered the pork tacos, chicken fried rice, and spicy wontons. although the pork tacos were more ground pork than a tender piece of pork belly shown in the photos, it was great and gave me inspo to make at home. Fried rice skimped on egg but was able to make my own to add in!

Chubby Noodle HAS MOVED LOCATIONS! It is now on union street in what I felt was a better cozy location. Not a fan of the chairs but with the size of the location a quicker turnover is necessary and I’m not mad at it. During this visit we had the joy of trying the salt and pepper shrimp, the Mongolian beef, String Beans, and vegetable fried rice. As a whole these dishes compliment each other very well giving u a great idea of chubby noodles spectrum of choices.

I’m sorry but the food is just flat out mediocre to bad. Got the garlic noodles, firecracker chicken, and Hawaiian curry. Everything was shared between two people. Firstly, the garlic noodles, which my partner and I agreed was the worst of the three dishes, and one of the worst garlic noodles I’ve personally ever had at a restaurant. Extremely disappointing considering the restaurant supposedly specializes in noodle dishes. The noodles themselves were overcooked and mushy, and had a truly nasty and off putting bitter flavor that I associate with an excessive use of stale garlic powder or perhaps pre-grated jarred garlic. Yes, garlic powder is used when making garlic noodles but when overused it imparts a bitter, almost artificial garlic flavor that overpowers everything else. Just truly, TRULY terrible. The firecracker chicken did not stand out in any way. The flavor profile was flat. It tasted salty and I couldn’t pick up on anything else. Texture wise it reminded me of reheated Panda Express, meaning it was not crispy, but rather hard and crunchy. The best thing we had was probably the Hawaiian curry, though I fail to see what makes this Hawaiian in any way. It tasted like a regular madras curry. Again, did not stand out in any way whatsoever, but at least it wasn’t bad like the other two dishes. Atmosphere-wise the space was nice and cozy, good for a date night, though the music is kind of loud. I didn’t mind too much because I actually really liked the music playing. It’s just a shame the food was so bad. The bill came out to be around $45 a person with two drinks, which is not good considering how mediocre the food was. Not sure why this place gets so much hype. Definitely a skip, especially when there are so many other better options in North Beach.

if you’ve been here before but haven’t been a while you should know the location has changed. it’s down the street through an alley way from the original location. it’s a bit confusing bc the original location still has a giant sign with the name of the restaurant. that aside, the new location has a nice ambiance, friendly staff, and the same chubby noodle menu we ordered the cucumber salad, firecracker chicken, and mongolian beef which came with a side of rice. the chicken isn’t as spicy as the name would make you think. everything else was fine. no complaints

I wish the service was as good as the food. No one checked on us during the whole dinner and when the hot food was served they placed each hot plate in front of my 1 year old daughter… Service would improve significantly if the waiters/waitresses would smile, just once. But food was great!

nice food, small menu, nice drinks although some traditional ones were out of stock. portion sizes are huge and 2 people can definitely eat one dish. Open kitchen and fresh delicious food.

Just wanted to try this place before hearing it was closing permanently in San Francisco. We were afraid that the place was going to be crowded days before its closing, but luckily our group of three was able to be seated immediately, with only several tables around us being filled on a weekday afternoon. We ordered a salmon tartare appetizer, beef chow fun, and garlic noodles. Our appetizer came out first, and I enjoyed the crunchiness of the chips along with the fresh salmon. The beef chow fun was my favorite dish, but I wish the portion was slightly bigger. The garlic noodles were not bad, but they were slightly greasy for my taste. It was a good dinner experience with friends, and I hope that I am able to meet another form of Chubby Noodle in the future.

The food here was pretty solid! Sad to see this institution of SF close soon on April 30 (this is your last chance to check it out!). But apparently they have a location in Cabo San Lucas . Unfortunately never tried their brunch AYCE option but been here three times for dinner. They moved sometime in the last year to a different location a street over in North Beach. The vibes were interesting. The interior decor felt a bit more Italian/European/industrial brick. The food was a mix of Asian and fusion cuisines. And the music was surprisingly a lot of hip hop. Felt like a little too many clashing concepts coming together. My favorite dishes were the firecracker chicken for its spicy crispy deliciousness, the garlic noodles because garlic yum, and the chubby sashimi for a nice seafood interlude. Mongolian beef and chubby fried chicken were solid. Didn't love the Singapore shrimp noodles but I don't really love vermicelli and it wasn't very flavorful. The waiter was great and friendly. The service was fairly quick. Definitely an interesting spot to try a variety of Asian food but sad it'll be closing. Wishing the best in the future for the owners and staff!

Food here is SO flavorful. I love Asian food and am quite a critic but everything on their brunch menu was delicious - from their scrambled egg omelette ( yes I could make them at home but it was delicious comfort food) to their garlicky green beans, their crispy shrimp, garlic noodles, and fire cracker chicken. Didn't even know where to start because I was eating everything in sight lol. On top of that, they have a special deal of bottomless mimosas/drinks during brunch which for sure is worth it for a large party (we had about 8 people in our group) I would note they do play quite loud music when I went (not sure if they do that all the time) but it was definitely a fun casual spot to grab food with friends.

If you're coming to Chubby Noodle, its for the bottomless brunch experience! And that's what I'm reviewing! I have not been here sober. Here's the deal: You HAVE TO MAKE A RESERVATION. I recommend doing this at least a week in advance. I believe the reservation times are in waves: 10am, noon, and 2pm on Saturdays & 11am and 1pm on Sundays. You have 90 minutes for the experience. You pay $55/person for 8 dishes of your choice and bottomless mimosas (my go-to), Sapporo, or sangria. They only give you more drinks once you finish your first bottle so we were very diligent about drinking. If you're sitting inside, the music is blasting, adding to the chaotic, fun vibe. Every time I've gone, it's been an absolute blast, with my friends and I laughing our way through plates of food and then stumbling over to Washington Square Park to keep the party going. Pro tip: Plan your post-brunch moves before you get there--preferably while sober--because once you're in the experience, you'll want to continue riding that adrenaline high. I think because you are simultaneously stuffing yourself with food and drinking, that lets you stomach wayyy more alcohol than you'd normally handle. Stay safe and try and hydrate in between dishes too!!! It's an epic time, but I'll admit, it's becoming a more rare experience for me these days That being said, if you're looking for a wild, chaotic brunch that's all about fun vibes and massive amounts of food, Chubby Noodle is the spot.

Convenient place to stop by after visiting Flute World especially if you like loud club music. But probably not ideal for a family sit down dinner. The food quality was definitely there however the execution was not quite to my taste. Of the dishes we tried, the shrimp fried rice was the best although a bit too light on the eggs. The salmon in the tartare had a bit of a fishy taste that I wouldnt expect in fresh sushi grade salmon but we finished it and the pineapple pieces were a nice touch. The server was kind enough to split the wonton soup into two bowls for me and my daughter. Unfortunately, it was a bit too salty for our taste and while the wonton skins were of high quality the filling was unfortunately on the tougher/chewier side. Probably will try other places before considering coming again.

Came here with friends on a Saturday evening, got an easy reservation when it opened and it was fairly empty for the duration of our dinner. The music was pretty loud, so hard to hear even though the restaurant was empty. The staff was very fast, we got our food within 5-10 minutes of ordering it, they had a lot of pick up orders they were filling, so it's a popular take out spot. The food wasn't stellar, we ordered the firecracker chicken with a side of white rice and the chicken chow mein, I'd give the food a 3/5, you can get much better Chinese in Chinatown or Inner Sunset. Our friends didn't love the garlic noodles either. Glad we tried it but overall might not recommend for a great food and dining experience.

Went here for a re-branding dinner party and it was great. We went into a room that is downstairs and it was all set up nice. We had multiple servers, and they checked in on all of us many times. Food was delicious as well had a lot of flavor in it, for sure going to return!

Service was really quick for the amount of food ordered. Portions are a bit smaller than what I am used to for what we paid but they were still enough to feed my group of three and have everyone get more than one scoops/bites. We got the mushroom vermicelli which had a really nice buttery flavor due to the miso-butter used. The mushrooms were very flavorful as well. We also got the salt and black pepper shrimp which came with a good chipotle aioli-esque sauce. We got the Mongolian beef which was very flavorful and savory; this came with a bowl of rice. The last dish we got were szechuan green beans which had a great sauce that packed a little bit of kick and was also very umami. All the dishes we got were packed with flavor. Heavy use of garlic was appreciated (though you still might get some umami aftertaste 2 hours after the meal haha). Many of our dishes also had jalapeño peppers which made the food very flavorful as well. The ambiance was nice with dim warm lighting when we went for dinner.

As I jokingly told my friend, this is basically what "white people" imagine Asian food tastes like. If you're looking for authentic Asian cuisine, this isn't the place. That said, I do give them credit for making most of their reinvented dishes taste really good, drawing inspiration from various Asian cuisines. If you're Asian and feeling adventurous, or if you want a "safe" spot to explore Asian-inspired dishes without worrying about strong spices, unusual ingredients, or too much heat, this place is a fun option. Plus, the interior design is super cute (though definitely not Asian ). The reason I'm deducting a point is that, as an Asian person, I find many of the dishes lean too much on the sweeter side, catering to the Western palate. I just wish some of the dishes had a more of a savory taste rather than sweet, for example the spicy garlic noodles.

Friendly service! Went to a team dinner to this place. Cute little space. Favorites - Spicy pork Korean tacos- the flavor was very good and loved the pickled veggies on it. The beans were also very good and flavorful. Pork fried rice - I liked the meat flavor and texture as it was more marinated pork strips. We were a little disappointed with the garlic noods- maybe an us issue. A bit salty and not the garlic flavor we were looking for.

I ordered the bottomless brunch. First of all, it is LOUD in here. It's a clubby environment, but under the guise of a brunch. I don't think I'll be back, but I enjoyed the experience for the one time. At some point the servers started pouring vodka shots into our mouths. You don't order any dish yourself, rather you are brought one of each of the 8 dishes on the menu, while the drinks are bottomless, between choices of pitches of sangria, bottles of champagne, and cans of Sapporo. Sausage and egg scramble: 7/10, this is nothing special but the sausage is good and the eggs are fluffy and moist Firecracker chicken: 6/10, this is literally orange chicken but a bit soggy Cucumbers: 9/10, basic but delicious. These could only be made better with nicer cuts or plating Spicy wontons: 5/10, these are nothing to write home about - neither the filling or sauce are very flavorful. The best part is the fried onion garnish Garlic noodles: 6/10, noodles are overdone but taste great, with a ton of garlic flavor Green beans: 7/10, classic fried green bean - I wish they were crunchier a little less sweet Cauliflower: 8/10, the cauliflower itself is decent but the sauce really carries Mimosas: 10/10, what you see is what you get

More garlic noodles please! I'm impressed with the food, the service, the vibes, everything. We came in as a party of 6 and ordered A LOT. There was a shrimp vermicelli noodle, the garlic noodles, curry, fried rice, cucumber salad, fried chicken, string beans, salmon tartare.. etc. We were STUFFED by the end of it. It was a bit cold in there, but you can always warm up with a few drinks. I heard about the brunch so many times but never had the chance to try it. I'll circle back when I make it!

Came here on a Saturday with a group of 5 for brunch. We did not have a reservation and had to wait until 2 PM before getting a table. This place does a bottomless brunch. They have unlimited mimosas and also sangria and sapporo as alternative drink options. You can pay more for sake as an option. There is already champagne and orange juice on the table when you sit down. Food-wise, they have 8 dishes that they bring out to you family-style. You can ask for more dishes. You cannot take anything to-go if you don't finish. You can only do the bottomless brunch, which is $55 per person. They do not have an option to order a la carte. In terms of food, the szechuan green beans were hands down the best dish. So flavorful and delicious. Not spicy. The cucumbers and spicy wontons were also good (the wontons are spicy if you eat the toppings with it). The garlic noodles were a bit salty but good. The shrimp with the aioli was also good. Eggs with sausage were a bit plain; it was mainly the sausage that was providing flavor. The cauliflower was my least favorite. There is a 90 minute time limit. Ambiance-wise, they play the music pretty loudly so it may be hard to hear each other. It seems like a fun place for a birthday brunch. Service was alright. They checked on us a couple times but I wouldn't say that they were super attentive. Overall, I think this is a fun place for bottomless brunch but price-wise, it is steep. The food is better than most other bottomless mimosas places (those green beans were chef's kiss!!).

CHUBBY NOODLE OMG! This is my third time visiting--my first was at the old location, and the other two times were at this current one. I love the concept of being able to drink as much as you want and enjoy all the delicious food for one price. The food comes fresh out of the kitchen, and they bring it to your table right away. The atmosphere is fantastic, with great music playing. The decorations give it a classy restaurant vibe, and out of nowhere, you hear a mix of rap, R&B, and reggaeton, which I find amazing. My only complaint is that one of the waitresses was a bit rude; other than that, the service was great!

I was checking out the night market on North Beach (review pending lol), and my friend kept telling me about this place she wanted me to try out cause they had some amazing beef dish and she knew how much I loved this stuff... When we got there and after a good 10 minutes perusing the menu, the dish she wanted me to try WAS... NOT THERE. I think she was more disappointed than I was lol. Place wasn't that packed for the night market and we were seated pretty quick. Small seating area, but not too small. We ordered some wine, cab & merlot. Just right. Now to the important stuff... FOOD: Appetizer, we had there Pot Stickers, Chubby Fried Chicken, and green papaya salad. I'm not a fan of spicy, and apparently neither is she, or her Mom... and the papaya salad wasn't spicy. In every other place I've ever had that, it's usually spicy AF. The Pot stickers were Pot Stickers. If they were anything out of this world, you'd be the first to know. Now, the fried Chicken? I liked it. I loved the flavor and the buttermilk marinade. My friend, not so much. I think she was still hung up on them not having what she REALL REALLY wanted me to try. Main Entree, we ordered the Garlic Noodles, Beef Chow Fun, Chicken Chow Mein. Going back to spicy stuff... the Garlic Noodles were hella spicy (full disclosure, none of us liked spicy and I'm a wimp with spicy stuff, I don't enjoy pain while I eat) So we sorta had some but didn't really finish it. Now the Chicken Chow Mein & the Beef Chow Fun!?!? I personally loved those two dishes. The flavoring of both of those dishes was spot on. Lots of chicken and beef as well. Oddly enough my friend wasn't very happy with the place and that's why I'm at 4 stars instead of 5. I wasn't wow'd by it, but certainly wasn't disappointed at all. Just the "quick" tip...try it out! Make sure you ask how spicy stuff is if you're not into that. It's a cool spot in North Beach, folks were super friendly, and food was yummy!

The service was attentive and we didn't need a reservation for a Sunday night dinner (even though we had one). It's located slightly away from the chaos of North beach but still close enough to walk to the bars. Food was decent, nothing to write home about.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE food (garlic noodle is A+++) but had to dock one star because hours say open until 10pm, but we came at 8:55pm and they had closed seating! Why?! Thankfully they let us order takeout but a bunch of other patrons came too and were turned away. Could it be because it was too slow that they decided to close the dining area early? How unusual.

I've been the old location and this new location and while I miss the older version, this new one is definitely more party and drink heavy (if you can imagine) I went in for brunch and music was blasting from the second we walked in. You get all the dishes included in AYCE and all the drinks. You can reorder the favorite dishes! Towards the end they make last call and also pour shots into people's mouths! Def still a very good deal.

Oh boy, I love chubby noodle. The vibe, and the food and great staff. If you are looking for a brunch spot this is it. Family style Asian fusion food which is so good. And they play the bangers. Not a quiet brunch spot, gets pretty loud and everyone is having a good time.

Talk about a party! If you're looking for a loud and energetic brunch to get the day going, then look no further. Known for their bottomless brunch, which includes food and drink, this place really knows how to keep it slinging. Once we arrived we were directed to our table, which actually ended up being at the bar, a great place to be if you never want an empty glass. Not sure if they did the same at all tables, but every time our drinks got sipped down even just a little bit, they would get filled right back up. To start you're given bubbles and orange juice, though you also have the option of sangria and saporro. We stuck with the mimosas. Soon after, items from the menu start getting brought out one at a time, some of them would overlap for a while, and others you'd finish before the next one came out. The middle items all overlapped a bit more than the first and last couple. Once you try everything, you pick what you want more of, and the eating and drinking continues. So why only 3 stars? The food was pretty, dare I say it, mid. Of the 7 items, only 2-3 were really good, with the rest being just okay or not worth the stomach space. The overall census from our group was that the wontons, firecracker chicken, and green beans were pretty good, noodles and rice were just okay, and the cauliflower and shrimp weren't worth more than a couple bites. I get it, they're mass producing a lot of food for everyone in the restaurant pretty quickly, so of course it's not going to be the best thing I've eaten. But still, with the hype around this place, I expected more. It was a cool experience, but once was enough. It's super loud and really meant for people that are trying to party. At least the music was good, it definitely felt more millennial targeted than gen Z with all the throwbacks, which was fun.

Our experience at chubby noodle was incredibly underwhelming They had very few vegetarian options and what they did have was extremely bland The wait staff was nice and friendly, but unfortunately the food did not live up to their service We ordered the papaya salad, green beans, garlic noodles, and veggie fried rice. The papaya salad had too much vinegar and did not taste like a typical or authentic papaya salad at all The green beans and garlic noodles were pretty good. We requested a vegetarian fried rice with no egg, but what they brought to our table ended up being a pretty bland egg fried rice. We made a reservation earlier in the day, but when we arrived we were told we would be seated in the basement because they double booked our reservation. We were celebrating a birthday and this was incredibly disappointing as the basement is secluded from the entire restaurant and does not have the same ambiance or environment we were expecting when we made the plan to eat here.

Cute little restaurant! We had a reservation for 8, but restaurant double booked us, so we had to sit in the basement instead (poor ambiance down there). Service was attentive and our server gave our birthday girl a free drinks! Food was mediocre. Highly recommend the Szechuan green beans - very flavorful! Papaya salad was decent, but tangier than usual. Garlic noodles were relatively bland and not well spiced. Not pictured, but we also had fried rice - very bland & hard to tell that we were having fried rice at times. Food is also very expensive for the portion sizes / quality. Additionally, restaurant does not have a broad variety of alcoholic drinks; no cocktails available. Although the service and ambiance is redeemable, the food is not great. Should be noted that we're vegetarian, so the meat options may be better. Would not recommend for vegetarians.

The service was excellent! The waitress gave us a whole run down on the menu which I loved. The food was very good a highlight for me was the potstickers. I would recommend a reservation because it is a smaller place. I really want to go back for brunch.

12/10 - amaazzingg food ! Quick service . Parkings a pain but that's the city . Definitely will be back .

Went here for a boozy brunch with some friends on the weekend, having heard it was a party inside. Brunch is all you can eat, and basically consists of them serving the table all of the brunch menu dishes one by one (which also gives you time to become full quicker), then asking you which dishes you would like to reorder. Overall, I would give the experience 5/5, as it was truly a party inside, with the waiter pouring shots from a bottle inside people's mouths, and people up and dancing on chairs for each new banger they blasted in the restaurant. The food however, was a 4/5 at best, and pretty costly for what it was (total came out to be about 75 per person), and I didn't love that we couldn't just order what we wanted from the get go. TLDR- worth it for a special occasion if you're looking for a super fun brunch vibe, but otherwise you can find better bang for your buck brunch spots.

Our first stop while visiting SF. Parking was a little rough so maybe walk or get dropped off. I'm a big fan of wontons so we had to go for the spicy wontons. I like that they came in chili oil - they were soft and warm and juicy. They hit the spot *insert chefs kiss emoji here We also got the chubby chicken - which looks pretty simple but was delicious. We devoured both plates pretty quick. We went on a Wednesday night - there was plenty of open seating but the take out orders looked insane. They are super organized because they got our plates out quickly while also fulfilling the online orders. Overall - Great spot!

We had our holiday party here last Friday and the food was great. There were several options from the menu that were chosen to be served for our group. The garlic noodles were my favorite and everything tasted so good. We also had specific drinks but they had a full bar and everything was available. Although this was a small restaurant they had large booths for bigger groups and although not used for our group, they had plenty of tables. The staff was very attentive and brought plenty of food out but not too much that it was a wasted. When our party was over they packed up several plates for all of us to take home. It was a great experience.

Came here for Sunday brunch with my group and the vibe is loud, like a club. Everyone paid a set price and you get like 5 courses. Each course is AYCE, and unlimited mimosas. Now the price per person is not cheap but the ingredients in the each course were definitely not worth the price we paid as a group. How much green beans can you eat? Or baby fried shrimps, not prawns, also the fried rice were a filler. The bland chow mien and the other was not memorable. We had two bottles of their champagne with that came with a tiny side of orange juice that you would have to keep asking for refill in order to make your own mimosas at the table. There were no ice for the champagne to sit in so it becomes a warm bottle fast. I think if you are looking for authentic Chinese or Asian food restaurant then go to a different spot. This place is more for customers who wants to keep the party vibe going from the night before. The service was good and fast. Definitely make reservations.

Finding parking wasn't the easiest, but it was a bit more manageable since the restaurant is located away from the busiest streets. We made our reservation through Yelp and needed to change the time the day before. The restaurant responded to our email in less than 24 hours and happily accommodated our request. This might have been easier because it was during OSL weekend. The ambience was super chic and not crowded at 7 PM, but the noise level definitely increased after 8 PM. The crowd was a lively mix of girls' night outs, date nights, and family gatherings. Service was prompt, with our appetizers arriving in good time before the main courses. There were at least three staff members regularly checking in, refilling water, and helping pack up our leftovers. The food was excellent, with options perfect for both vegetarians and meat-eaters. We tried the delectable sashimi, super tasty garlic noodles, and green beans that were perfectly seasoned. The drink selection was simple, just glasses of wine, but it was an overall lovely dinner.

The brunch experience here never disappoints! Great vibe, music, staff and food. My favorite place to bring a group.

What a lovely spot for a date night! We had been to other locations which are now closed, and were pleasantly relieved to see that not only was the food just as good, the old school hip-hop music still proudly filling the air, but we had the whole place to ourselves. Probably just luck, because their previous locations used to be VERY busy...only a matter of time. Highly recommend. Clean ingredients, taste authentic, without the overabundant leftovers and stomach aches :)

Ambience is perfect for a date. Love the service, felt attended; and service was very friendly and considerate of my friend's fish allergy. I went with the garlic noodles, along with the potstickers. Every bite you take from the noodles, it's a garlic, tasty, savory madness. Has a slight kick to it, but not too much where you're left with a burning mouth. Wish it were a bit more spicy, but each their own of course! Potstickers were ok, didn't understand why they were priced as much as the noodles though. Considering they're appetizers. Overall a nice place to try if you're near Little Italy. Beware though, my friend and I were a little lost finding this place. We had first thought the location was next to Sotto Mare, but we had to walk a few min to 510 Union St. The location is not by SOTTO MARE, it is on Union St.

We made a reservation for Chubby Noodle's bottomless brunch and it was truly bottomless. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was better than I imagined. We stopped by their new location on a Sunday morning and they seated us immediately once the opened. Just as a heads up, they're pretty strict about their time limit for your table time. FOOD: The food is pretty much what they serve on their dinner menu. We absolutely loved their green beans and firecracker chicken. They're both comfort food and great to munch on in addition to mimosas. SERVICE: They came over twice after our initial order of food to check in on whether wanted to place more orders. I was impressed by this as it didn't feel like we had to chase our waitress down for additional orders. Also, they were quite generous with the number of champagne bottles they provided us. Almost immediately after we finished a bottle, they had another one for us. As other reviews have mentioned, the music is loud and sets such a good vibe. Our group had so much fun getting tipsy off of bottomless mimosas and yummy food. My only feedback is our table was right by their window, which had no shade, so the sun was in our eyes the entire time.

Came here for weekend brunch with a large group. We made a reservation so we were seated right away. There is a set menu for the bottomless mimosa brunch. They bring out the first round of food and champagne/juice without you even having to order it haha. But everything else, you'll have to order more. The food offerings were pretty good! I especially enjoyed the fried rice, shrimp, and wontons. They were also accommodating to a vegetarian we had in our group, offering her a special order of noodles which was vegan. Overall, enjoyed my experience here. The food was good, mimosas were nice as you get to pour your own champagne and control the ratio of juice to bubbles. I would definitely come back!

So many people recommended this place to me and this past weekend, I was able to try it out with some girlfriends! We didn't realize that there was a brunch special going on and that reservations were highly encouraged, but I'm thankful out server let us sit at the bar. During brunch (Saturday - Sunday between 10 AM to 2 PM), there is a pre-fixed menu with bottomless mimosas. They will check your ID and they will prevent anyone that's under 21 to come in. There were multiple dishes coming out for $54. There are additional drinks you can get for a small fee. Our menu had: -Salt and peper shrimp -Spicy wontons -Szechuan green beans -Fried rice -Spicy garlic noodles -Crispy cauliflower -Firecracker chicken Drinks were: -Bottomless mimosas -Sangrias -Sapporo beer +$4 Sake shooters +$36 for a sake bottle Total was $54 per person, which is a PRETTY GREAT DEAL if you ask me! Also, a HUGE shout out to our server on Saturday! I didn't get his name, but he was amazing and super sweet! Definitely made our afternoon!! REVIEW OF EACH ITEM: -Salt and peper shrimp: this one was pretty good! The shrimp was fried perfectly and it had a nice light fry/batter to it. Definitely pairs well with the sauce and it was cooked perfectly. 4/5 -Spicy wontons: I do wish that this was spicier and that it was made out of shrimp. The wontons were cooked well, but I was definitely not expecting chicken. The soy sauce with chili oil was ok - there was a bit of vinegar that you can taste, but nothing exciting. 3/5 -Szechuan green beans: I REALLY LOVED THESE! I LOVED the sauce that these green beans were smothered in and I absolutely loved the bits and pieces of garlic. HIGHLY recommend getting seconds of this!! 5/5 -Fried rice: This was good to say the least - just your average fried rice tbh! 3/5 -Spicy garlic noodles: I was looking forward to this because I absolutely love garlic noodles, but I didn't really taste much garlic to these and they weren't spicy at all! It was more oily, but the noodles were cooked well. 2/5. -Crispy cauliflower: Honestly, I think I could have done without the cauliflower. They weren't really crispy, more like baked tbh? There was a nice light seasoning on the cauliflower, but I'd def pass if you can on these. -Firecracker chicken: LORD THESE WERE SO GOOD! Each piece of chicken was coated to perfection. The sauce itself was soy sauce based and it was PERFECT. Not too salty at all, but still crispy/crunchy. Each bite paired so well with the other dishes. DEFINITELY GET SECONDS ON THIS ONE TOO!! 5/5 Overall, I really enjoyed this place!! Highly recommend coming in for their bottomless brunch because it's a great deal!! $54 per person for a pre-fixed menu, and you can continue getting seconds on anything (even alcohol - all of the servers will continue filling up your table with drinks). In this economy, girrrrrl - that's a steal + the food is great too!

It was def a nice place with nice vibes, I just thought the food wasn't really worth the price, was a bit pricey and it wasn't as tasty as I hoped it would be I'm not sure if I'll be back but still enjoyed my experience there

We came here on a random weeknight for dinner. The menu items were more of a modern Chinese/Asian fusion spot. We ordered the: *chubby fried chicken: tasted like standard popcorn chicken; nothing too crazy *szechuan green beans: a good veggie to balance the dinner; seasoned with garlic and tasted like Din Tai Fung green beans! *garlic noodles It was a solid place to try, but if you're looking for more traditional Chinese food, I would go somewhere else in Chinatown.

Been a hot minute (maybe pre pandemic?) since I've been to Chubby Noodle for brunch but it's not what I remember it to be in terms of food. I will preface to say that Chubby is where you wanna go if you wanna get lit for brunch but also feel it pretty badly later that day or the next day. The vibes are on point - $54 all you can eat and drink brunch gets you a selection of mimosas, Sapporo and sangria paired with 7 food items set in a casual atmosphere you bumping music. The food is served family style, and every table receives one of every dish first, from which you can then order additional portions. The dishes consist of salt and pepper shrimp, spicy wontons, Szechuan green beans, fried rice, spicy garlic noodles, crispy cauliflower, and firecracker chicken. The best dish by far was the firecracker chicken, which I finished an entire plate of to myself. However none of the other dishes really appealed to me too much. I would say the spicy wontons and green beans were the next best dishes but overall, I thought the food was just alright; not bad, but just not amazing, I also barely drank, as I had gone out the night prior, so maybe that's on me, but after tax and tip, it was like $70+ per person, which thought was just a bit wild. We didn't interact with staff too much, except for one waiter/busser who was friendly and always on top of ensuring we never ran out of anything.

Came here on a Saturday evening. Food was good. Service was great. Loved how they staggered bringing each of the dishes we had ordered so that we could enjoy them one by one and while they were still warm ! 1. Wonton soup - rating 3.5/5 Nice broth, didn't enjoy the wontons as much. Perhaps they were made of whole flour that I haven't tried them in earlier 2. Pork tacos - rating 3.9/5 Only 2 tacos in 1 plate - they were good, could have used some more filling 3. Mongolian beef - rating 4/5 My first time trying it - but other friends who have had it before said it was better than just average. I liked it - given I hardly desire beef as a meat. The meat was tender and thin cut. Gravy was soy sauce based 4. Chubby fried chicken - rating 4/5 Nice fingers, went off the plate as soon as they came ! 5. Chicken chow mein - rating 4/5 Good dish, again not beyond average but definitely got gulped by the group quickly

There are some things in life we get addicted to it could be coffee. It could be alcohol. It could be a person. I could say one thing as far as food goes. I have a feeling that this place is high on my list of must have.

I got takeout from here recently because there was a 50% off promotion going on, which made prices very reasonable. However, I wouldn't order from here otherwise because the food was just average in taste and somehow extremely oily. I ordered the chicken chow mein, pork fried rice, general tso's chicken, and szechuan green beans. - The chow mein's flavor was okay, but it was way too oily! I actually had to manually wipe off the oils on the bottom of my plate in the middle of eating because my plate was drenched in oil. The noodles were also too soft, likely due to overcooking. For a place with the word noodle in its name, this dish was disappointing. - The pork fried rice was surprisingly very tasty! The pork was flavorful and plenty. - The general tso's chicken tasted fine but wasn't really memorable. - The szechuan green beans were too salty and overcooked/mushy. If Chubby Noodle tones it down on the oil usage and doesn't overcook some dishes, its food would taste better.

We celebrated a couple of my friends birthday here last Thursday. Weeks prior, I tried to make reservations for 8 people but seemed like my limit was 5 (good thing there was only 5 of us). Weirdly enough, we were seated in a table for 8 people. I was a little confused with the ambiance. I love reggeaton music, but I didn't think it was a good fit for the place. We ordered: - Schezuan green beans (had to order a seconds, because it was that good!!!!!!!!) - Korean pork tacos (kinda bland, big meaty chunks but not exciting and maybe a sauce or colorful filling would make it appetizing) - Chubby fried chicken (kinda bland and it was basically chicken tenders and the sauce was just meh) - Pot stickers (decent) - Spicy garlic noodles (very flavorful and one of our favorites) - Beef chow fun (also very delicious and was also one of our favorites) - Chicken chow mein (decent) - Singapore shrimp noodles (decent) - Mongolian beef (super tasty and the spice was perfect and also a fave) - 2 bottles of nigori sake (you can never go wrong with a good sake) Seems like the drink and food menus have changed over time. I wish they had more selection for both. I can finally check this place off my list!

Chubby Noodle is great, good food and a fun environment. You need to make a reservation, especially for brunch. TIP: call the day of your reservation and ask to be seated upstairs in the main dining room. Sat in the room downstairs recently and it was okay, gets very loud downstairs and there are no windows, so upstairs is preferable. The service is fast, and staff are very friendly and make the experience fun. The music is always good too!

This place is a nice spot if you want to have Asian-fusion food in north beach. It's tucked away slightly off Washington square park so it's quite central in north beach. They had a lot of yummy food options and I tried their garlic noodles and crispy cauliflower menu items. The noodles are good and have a nice garlicky taste with good umami. Their crispy cauliflower (pic is from 2022 not sure if still on their menu) was also really nice and crispy, with a creamy sauce to pair well on the base of the dish. The service was decent and attentive as they were able to accompany my vegetarian friend at the table.

Visited Chubby Noodle for a friend's birthday dinner. The inside had music playing, TVs, and a noisier crowd to it compared to your typical restaurant. It was super lively inside. I personally did not mind it but just something to note for others. Service was standard. Some of the dishes our table ordered included the Firecracker Chicken, Garlic noodles, and dumplings. All of the food tasted great. I think the firecracker chicken was the standout. Overall, this place has a nice casual approach to the ambience and crowd but still maintains an upscale feel to the menu and the food. I will be back!

THE CHUBBY NOODLE BRUNCH EXPERIENCE. So glad my friend took me here for bottomless mimosa brunch, and it's one of the best bottomless mimosa brunch experiences in the Bay. AMBIANCE: 5/5. There's street parking available. The restaurant has a decent amount of seating and a large bar near the entrance, the music can also be loud but keeps everyone vibing and makes for a fun atmosphere. SERVICE: 5/5. The staff was so friendly and attentive, making sure you're not running low on your food and especially the drinks. There was even a moment when they turned up the music and started giving out shots all around the restaurant, such a fun experience and great service. FOOD: 5/5. There's a set menu of food designed to be shared family style - all dishes were really good. We got the Salt & Pepper Shrimp, Spicy Wontons, Szechuan Green Beans, Fried Rice, Crispy Cauliflower, Firecracker Chicken, and Garlic Noodles. The Firecracker Chicken, Szechuan Green Beans, and Garlic Noodles were my favorite. The champagne and juice are on your table for self-pour, which is great so we were in control of the ratio of bubbles to juice. There's also a full bar aside from the mimosas, but those other drink options will cost additional. OVERALL: 5/5. Absolutely worth all the recs and the hype from people, I would definitely come back for some good music, bottomless mimosas, and delicious food!

Finally got to check out this restaurant in SF last night with a large group. We ordered a number of appetizers to split including the fried chicken, spicy wontons, potstickers, green beans and salt and pepper shrimp. The highlights were the green beans (not spicy at all, more on the sweet side with garlic as well), potstickers and the shrimp (very light coating and nice seasoning). For the main course I split the firecracker chicken and the beef chow fun. The best dish of the night by far was the beef chow fun. Noodles were a perfect consistency and the beef was nice and tender. The service for our group of 16 was great as well! I'll be sure to come back soon!!

This is a fun spot for bottomless mimosas! For $55, you get all you can eat and drink, which is a great deal. The atmosphere is lively, with awesome music that sets the perfect mood for a group hangout or celebration. The food is served family-style, which is nice for sharing, but honestly, nothing about the dishes really stood out to me--they were fairly average. If you're coming for the vibes and drinks, though, this place definitely delivers!

I'm sorry but the food is just flat out mediocre to bad. Got the garlic noodles, firecracker chicken, and Hawaiian curry. Everything was shared between two people. Firstly, the garlic noodles, which my partner and I agreed was the worst of the three dishes, and one of the worst garlic noodles I've personally ever had at a restaurant. Extremely disappointing considering the restaurant supposedly specializes in noodle dishes. The noodles themselves were overcooked and mushy, and had a truly nasty and off putting bitter flavor that I associate with an excessive use of stale garlic powder or perhaps pre-grated jarred garlic. Yes, garlic powder is used when making garlic noodles but when overused it imparts a bitter, almost artificial garlic flavor that overpowers everything else. Just truly, TRULY terrible. The firecracker chicken did not stand out in any way. The flavor profile was flat. It tasted salty and I couldn't pick up on anything else. Texture wise it reminded me of reheated Panda Express, meaning it was not crispy, but rather hard and crunchy. The best thing we had was probably the Hawaiian curry, though I fail to see what makes this Hawaiian in any way. It tasted like a regular madras curry. Again, did not stand out in any way whatsoever, but at least it wasn't bad like the other two dishes. Atmosphere-wise the space was nice and cozy, good for a date night, though the music is kind of loud. I didn't mind too much because I actually really liked the music playing. It's just a shame the food was so bad. The bill came out to be around $45 a person with two drinks, which is not good considering how mediocre the food was. Not sure why this place gets so much hype. Definitely a skip, especially when there are so many other better options in North Beach.
