Chubby Skewers｜Authentic Chinese BBQ

Had an amazing experience at Chubby Skewers, the waiters were very helpful in explaining everything. You scan the QR code to order sides and drinks. Skewers are self serve at $1 ea. Some food items have 2 skewers so that's $2. The beers selection was good. I tried most of them. The wagyu skewers were amazing. Even the fatty ones tasted excellent. I usually use the fat to season the grill. I tried duck tongue for the first time that was interesting. In total we ate 51 skewers. I was shooting for 100. The place closes at 3 am so its a perfect place to hang out with friends late night or even a date.

First time here and it did not disappoint!! Got here on a Saturday luckily at 5 PM and got seated right away!! Alex was our server and was so awesome from start to finish. It was nice of him to ask if we were first timers and explained everything. Meats were exquisite! There was a variety of quality seafood and vegetables as well. Additionally, you can order items such as garlic oysters and foil wrapped enoki mushrooms (highly recommend!!) Overall, another Chubby series down and very happy!

We recently ate at Chubby Cattle and loved it so we decided to visit their other concept which is Chubby Skewers. It’s our first time trying this type of restaurant and we’re loving it. The service is stellar and true to their brand. The one who guided us tonight is Alex. He showed us how the place works and explained the self-service menu. He checked up on us throughout our late night snack which we appreciated. He was very helpful and welcoming. The selection here is wide. From seafood to wagyu, they have it. We had a mix of their meats. The spices provided are tasty too. They have three selections of spices - each one easy to enjoy. Besides the wagyu which we enjoyed, the lamb was our highlight. The serving per stick is fairly small but fair. It’s $1.10 per stick with some seafood reaching $2.20. It’s definitely worth it.

I did not have the best experience at Chubby Skewers. Some of my meat had a sour taste to it, which made me question the freshness and quality. Seating is cramped and uncomfortable. Service was bad. We were seated in the back room, so it was difficult to get a server's attention in case we needed anything. The iPad did was not effective in getting the attention we needed. I called for the check twice using the iPad, and no one came. I had to get up and hunt down a server to pay and leave. It was like 5pm with plenty of workers and not that many customers, so I was pretty irritated. They also randomly turned off our fire and we had to call someone over to turn it back on. Twice. Because the first time, the server kinda fiddled with the grill and then just left without turning on the fire. We had to call him back to turn on the grill correctly. I honestly left hungry because I didn't want to deal with being in the restaurant anymore.

Great Service! The BBQ got Lots of Options Alex was very attentive and friendly throughout the meal. There was a wide variety of dishes to choose from—plenty of meats, vegetables, and snacks. Overall, a great experience and definitely worth visiting again!

This was my first time here and I had a really great experience. The place has a cool aesthetic, the food tasted fresh, and my server Alex was very friendly and on top of making sure our space was clean. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I don’t usually like waiting for food, but this spot totally changed my mind. The wait was not bad. The food is cheap, full of flavor, and seriously hits the spot. The place itself has such a fun vibe. It’s busy, loud in a good way. Big shoutout to Casper on the staff—he was awesome. Super friendly, made sure everything was taken care of. He honestly made the whole experience even better. Would I come back? 100%.

This restaurant is part of the chubby chain in CA. It is located in Galleria plaza. Parking here is alright, it does get busy here sometimes so depends on the time. This place is inside the strip mall next to bunsik 88. Once you open the glass door, the front counter is right in front of you with a machine where you can put down the size of your party. This place opens up at 5pm and it gradually gets busier. I came once around 7 and the wait is an hour. There was another time I came around 715 and the wait was around 45 minutes. Last time I came at 6, wait was around 20 minutes. It gets pretty busy in there and a little crowded. Seats are low and the table is not that big. The price of the skewers depends on the number of skewers you get and i around $1-150 each with wagyu beef ones cost more. There is a food bar where you go grab the rawr food skewers you want. They have gloves so it doesn’t get your hands dirty. The food is great because they already got seasoning on it and you will have to cook it yourself. Stove is hot. The bill Of the dinner with 2 ppl, my friend and I which was a female costed around $100 without tips. Expect some wait to long wait depends on how late you come but highly recommended!

Amazing service amazing meats, gawly it such a great experience. Casper was very kind and helpful when guiding us through the menu as it was our first time. -3- would come again

I came here around 9pm and Shanghao was very helpful in assisting us! He made sure we knew where to get everything and consistently asked if we needed anything.

The skewers at Xing Fu Xiao Chuan are absolutely delicious! Becky was an amazing server--friendly, attentive, and made our experience even better. Will definitely come back!

The price for food that is costing more. Also, budget friendly. You can have food with GF and not worry she waste food.

Variety was pretty okay :) !! Loved the pepper steak and the shrimp skewers, the shrimp was SO flavorful it's insane I ate about 20 of those Stir fried indomie was very yummy :) Service was great! Everyone was pleasant and helpful :) Especially the guy with the blonde hair, didn't catch his name but he was super !!!!! Ambiance was nice, very loud late night casual drinking spot-y. Very good for the price! 1.10 per skewer! I ate so much I felt like exploding at the end of the night :) Only things I don't like are the lack of salt/pepper shakers, the table setups, and the self serve skewers being somewhat unhygienic if that makes sense :( Everything is so low to the ground and my knees kept bumping against this burning hot pan under the grill, not very fun at all :( very VERY crammed, forced to sit weirdly so it's not the friendliest spot to wear a skirt to (also if you have knee problems good luck ) While I was there I saw signs posted up about sticking with what you choose/no take backsies but signs never really stopped anyone; people touching skewers and putting them back, I got a bit grossed out but whatever I guess it's to be expected :P Tldr: very tight low seating, don't burn your knees !! I'm the number 1 pepper beef and shrimp skewer fan, words can't explain how YUMMY they are I'm craving them as I type this!!!!!

MY 8-YEAR-OLD IS SICK AND TIRED OF THIS! The chairs are low, the skewer sticks are pointy! Never go to this

Food/drinks: yum! There's a skewer bar with lots of options & sesame cucumber + peanuts were delicious Atmosphere: SO GOOD! It's like a street market vibe with everyone hanging out and being loud with friends/family except you are indoors & opens very late Service: friendly service! They explained the menu and were attentive throughout Price: affordable! It's around $1 per skewer!

Chubby Group did it again! The Chubby Skewers concept is an excellent skewer restaurant. They are open late, had many tables, and is great for groups. Skewer restaurants as a concept isn't new, but the execution feels unique. It felt like eating at one of those street stalls in Asia. They have self serve utensils (paper plates, plastic spoons and forks, metal trays for seasonings). The skewers are $1.10 each and are self-serve (you grab what you want), and grill it at the table. They have options from okra to mushrooms to many types of protein. My favorite were the lean beef and lamb. The quality is great and the price is affordable. However, the area where they place the skewers don't seem cold/refrigerated. Even then, it all tasted great once grilled. Drinks and made-to-order dishes can be ordered via a QR code. The service here is fantastic. The servers went above and beyond in all aspects. Overall, with the great food, great service, and great prices, I will 100% come back.

So, I have been a long time fan of the Chubby brand from their days in Vegas to their location in MPK. First time trying out Chubby Skewers and although I love the concept, I must say that I am a bit disappointed overall. If you are on the older side, pregnant, have difficulties getting up and down, I would say avoid Chubby Skewers. The tables and chairs are quite low and I know that my mom would not stand a chance here one bit. Not much table space for much and because the chairs are low you can't really hang your purse on it either. So, it'll have to be on your lap for those females that has a big purse. You pretty much grab all the skewers you wanna eat at the skewer area. Each one is $1.10 and if you have membership then its $1. I have to say its a bit pricey for example 2 quail eggs on a skewer stick and that in itself is $1.10. You grill everything on your own. You will have to scan the QR code on the table to order drinks and hot menu items i.e. oysters, scallops, etc. The skewer area is a bit sticky, everything is a bit sticky to be honest. They do have gloves that you can use at the skewer area but thats about it. There's 4 different seasoning at the table you can use to season your skewers. Dipping trays, extra paper plates, napkins, water dispenser, infused water dispenser, salt, sugar, and utensils are by the skewer area. Some of the meats tasted just ok to me. Nothing truly stood out. For skewers personally I think Gui & T Kebob still takes the win. Would I personally come back, not really. I am glad I got to stop by and try it but I definitely do not feel like I am missing out on anything. They open at 5pm so my recommendation is stop by at 5pm so you do not have to wait in a long line. Tips: *Indoor seating only. *Restroom available for customers. *Credit card accepted *Parking lot shared with other businesses. *Serves alcohol. *There is a Yelp waitlist when you arrive.

Okay, so... the plaza itself? Not going to win any beauty contests--it's a little run-down on the outside. But the upside? Lots of parking. Once you step inside, it's a different story--cozy vibes, chairs a little low to match the ambiance, and an open grill (sadly no charcoal this time--fingers crossed they bring it back soon!). It's self-serve here, which means you get to choose your skewers, and honestly, who can say no to $1 skewers? (Non-members pay $1.10, but still... that's a steal.) I'm not even sure what was on some of them, but damn--everything was packed with flavor, and we didn't even need their seasoning powders. Shoutout to David (I think that was his name!) for walking us through the app and membership perks. Super friendly and made the whole process easy. Overall, such a great experience--we're already planning to make this a once-a-month tradition. Honestly, for the price of a $25 KBBQ meal, we can each get $25 worth of skewers here... and that's a win in my book.

Clearly come for either late night eats or quantity, as I was not particularly impressed by the quality. At the current price of $1.10/skewer it's cheap to eat here, and a very wide selection of meats, especially beef and chicken. Veggie and seafood selections aren't bad either. Tables are very low in the traditional Chinese style, which is annoying but so, so traditional. There's good venting, service isn't bad, and there's a very decent selection of dishes from the kitchen. Parking is rough but doable, and it's kind of tight inside.

$1.10 per skewers! $1 each with membership. Great quality meat. Decorations and style of restaurant fit the vibes of late night skewers place! Pick your own meats at the self serve counter and grill them over fire on small stools and table. They have Wagyu meat along with the various options. Tender meat and comes with Chinese spices to dip. Fried instant noodle was the perfect carbs that goes with the skewers. The garlic oysters with garlic sauce has tons of garlic! Pricy for oysters but worth a try. Busy plaza parking maybe hard on peak time. Usually a waitlist at night especially on weekends. Would come here to drink and hangout with friends late night!

Heard of this place from a homie that has gone 3 times in one week, claiming that it has great value and it's open late. So I was intrigued. Came here on a Friday night for a date w my girlfriend. It was packed, the wait ended up being an hour and 15 minutes. I wasn't mad at it because it was a Friday and at the most peak time. Parking could get a little crazy, you can park out front or they have "overflow" parking towards the back. If you park back there, you can walk through the market to access the entrance easier. When we were seated it felt like I was at a day care but I am specifically talking about the chairs, not your typical chairs and they are lower to the ground. Didn't mind it until you had to reload on the skewers. This is a self serve restaurant where all of the skewers and drinks are at a designated spot. It was fairly easy to distinguish which meats were which and the staff had it fully stocked everytime I went to get more. I had the lean and fatty wagyu, pork belly, chicken skin, fish tofu, squid, and beef brisket skewer. My favorite has to be the pork belly and brisket skewer. The meat was juicy, spice levels were great, and the quality tasted great. Each skewer is $1.10 and they give you a bowl to place each skewer when you are finished eating to bill you the right amount. Ordered a sapporo to have w my meal because it's a must, everything was great. Overall 8.7/10, food tasted great, quality was on point, and vibes were solid. A spot where you can eat to your content and they are also open pretty late. I would come back again when I'm in the area and craving skewers!

Chubby group....I had high expectations. Having eaten Yumiyaki and Chubby Cattle, chubby skewers was the non ayce option. The meat was yummy but easy to overcook, which was an error on my end unfortunately. The meat quality was good and was up to par to its ayce counterparts. I loved that there were seafood/vegetable options as well, and as much as I don't eat veggie skewers, the choice of possibly getting one was a nice touch. My biggest gripe would probably be the lack of sauce. Their "sauce" is the seasonings for the meat, which I totally understand, but if I was able to dip the meat into some brisket sauce or some chili....I would have spent hundreds! The servers were always attentive and brought out ordered food quickly. They even helped me with adding the receipt to the chubby club app! TLDR: The prices for these skewers are well-worth the price. The quality of meat was great and the servers were impeccable! I would love to have had sauce, but the seasonings already make the meat tasty.

While we were there vacationing in California with my best friend, we ended up finding this place on yelp checking this place out for the first time was told that this place was gonna be coming to Vegas so which we were excited about it. So we got there we actually had to put our name waited for almost an hour so we kill time to go to round 1 afterwards we came back. The atmosphere was pretty dang cool. I love how they set everything up in there super casual it look like it was a Korean barbecue place for a little bit smaller with the tables. It was pretty loud in there which I understand. It's the vibe the trend of it and also I'm in love with skewers. Nothing beats anything like this super excited to see how comes to Vegas. Recommend my family and friends coming to this place.

Was super stoked when I finally had the opportunity to come to chubby skewers after work. We got there around 6:30ish and we waited approximately 30-45 minutes for a table. The table sat somewhat low and there were not a lot of space on the grill for your skewers so if you're with a big group, you may be there for a while. Besides the skewers, which you grab at the buffet area yourself, drinks and side dishes are ordered through the QR code. Love the variety of skewer options and would love to come back.

This place used to be my favorite go-to spot with friends. Unfortunately, I've noticed the service, environment, and food quality have gone downhill in my recent visits. The biggest disappointment was the music .it was so loud that I completely lost the mood to enjoy my food, drinks, or conversation with friends. Instead of a relaxing hangout, it felt like we were shouting over the noise. Really hope they can fix this, because I used to love coming here.

I had really high expectations coming here, but thought it was just okay. I came with family on a sunday night and the wait was about 30 minutes. Upon seated, I noticed that the tables and chairs were really low, which makes it slightly uncomfortable to sit there for a long time. It was nice to be able to pick out the skewers and there were many choices. I liked that each of the skewers were just $1.10. The experience was not as good as I thought it would be, you kinda just cook your own things and the meat tasted alright. I wasn't super full even after eating a lot but it was good to at least try the place once.

Love the chubby collection of restaurants but this is a miss... Cool spot, decent selection. But won't be going back unfortunately. Some nit picky issues I can typically ignore: 1) The cuts were okay and comparable to other places. A little too many chunks of pure fat on some sticks. 2) Meat section is unorganized and should really have tongs. Randos touching the raw meat trying to find a decent stick and running around between sections is a violation waiting to happen. 3) Wish the stove has the auto rotate hard to get an even cook. Skill issue so I guess that's my fault. The real issue I won't be back: Chairs and Tables are like a kids playset, poor quality but authentic I guess. I'm fine with the low chair. I can sit in the squat position but the tables were atrocious. I couldn't fit my legs under the table and I'm short... 5'6 and my wife 5'2 even hated it. So I ended up sitting sideways the whole dinner because the tables are jam packed and the lady behind me was splayed out and bumping into my chair the entire time because she couldn't fit either. If you can deal with it great. But obviously there are a lot of comments saying otherwise - so let's see if they listen to feedback or leave it like this. Best of luck, comfort is part of the experience and it's a hard pass for me until this changes.

Long line and wait on weekend evening. Be sure to get there early. You get to pick your own skewers , about $1 per stick. Online order for additional sides. Overall the food quality is decent. There were several wagyu options. Service was standard Ambience was conducive to beer and hang out , izakaya like type of environment. Wish they had more choices of sauce , rather you were give 4 powders/spices for flavoring I think it's worth the visit if you like skewering

Parking: Easy, open free lot. When it gets busy, parking is a little more scarce. I came here on a Monday night around 9PM and it was still very busy. We were seated at our low to the floor table and stools. That's part of the experience. We picked out our skewers and got to cooking. Parts of our grill was unevenly hot so some skewers were ready faster than others. You are definitely managing the cooking and heat yourself. Unfortunately, they do not have the grills that automatically rotate for you. On the table, there are four different seasoning and in the self serve area, they have sugar, salt, RAW GARLIC (my fave), cups, plates, and spoons. I went around the bars and collected my skewers. You get the most bang for your buck with the wagyu. To be fair, I lost track of what I was really cooking but i love the seasoning they had available. I was cooking my beef, dipping it into their cumin mix... Delicious. Would I say this is any better or more special than another skewer place? No, I felt like it was equivalent to anywhere else. However, the experience was fun. This is a great place to go with friends and just chill. All in all, I would come back but I wouldn't want to wait cause you never know how long people will take.

Came for the first time around 12:30am on a Saturday and was impressed. It was one of the only late night food spots open (I think they close around 2-3am). I've been to other Chubby restaurants as well as other Skewer spots (like GUI) and really enjoyed my experience here. They accept the chubby membership (if you have the premium one) and charge by the skewer here (I think a dollar and some change per skewer). Everything is pretty much self service, from grabbing the skewers, to making your dripping salts, to cooking your food over the grill (which isn't a flame or charcoal grill, more of a "heater" style I think, I liked it tho because it wasn't smoky but still cooked the meat pretty good.) I loved it, the wait staff was nice, the guy who helped me was canto and super friendly. We ended up getting two more sojus and ate a bunch of skewers and left full and buzzed. Definitely would come back. It wasn't super busy but still had a few tables around the time we left so definitely a local, late night hang out spot!

Let's face it. $1 for food is a sure fire way to grab your attention at any given time. A lot of great things are a buck. Tacos on Tuesdays for example or $1 junky greasy tacos from Jack in the Box. Well, I can't think of anything else actually, BUT I can add Chubby Skewers to that small list. I finally got around to trying out Chubby Skewers this past weekend with a close friend of mine and I can vouch that the skewers are indeed $1 (or $1 and change?). However, some items are $2 like the shrimp since there's 2 skewers in them. However, the skewers really don't have much on them. On one hand, this is awful value since there's hardly anything on them, but on the other hand it's nice to be able to grab a variety of different skewers as well. Be warned though, it can add up VERY quickly. Speaking of hands, don't be me and raw dog the skewers otherwise you'll end up touching all sorts of raw meat. Instead, grab some gloves they have by the stations and you'll be all set. I am a big fan of interactive dining experiences and being able to sit and grill at the table while sharing conversations and hanging out was the best part. Hearing the sizzle of the fat dripping onto the flavorizers, the smell of grilling meat, and eating it straight off the grill is as good as it gets. They also have seasonings at the table so you can either sprinkle it on as the food is grilling or you can just dip them. Also, I did not like the fact that they didn't disclose the "sauce" fee. It's like a couple dollars and basically it's for the dry seasoning shakers at the table. Dry seasonings like cumin and red pepper flakes are sold in bulk and for dirt cheap, bro. This is the cost of doing business. Imagine a burger joint charging you for condiments on your burger. Super lame. The concept is fun. They're attempting to recreate street food with the low chairs and tables. Just try not to wear shorts that'll go up your legs when you sit, otherwise you may end up giving the restaurant a dinner AND a show. I was not ready to show off that much leg in public. Anyway, my friend enjoyed it much more than I did, though the alcohol probably made her experience more enjoyable lol. Personally I thought it was just okay. With that being said, I would definitely give it another go, just not any time soon.

Chubby Skewers is a local Chinese skewer spot in Rowland Heights. This spot is part of the very popular Chubby Group that has a collection of restaurants throughout SoCal. Before you even go, the parking situation in the plaza is quite terrible, so I recommend parking in the back area. This place is also super busy, so anticipate roughly an hour wait! However, once you do go in, the place is very well maintained, and the ambiance is very nice as everyone is having conversations as they grill their skewers. I loved hanging out and eating skewers while catching up with friends. My favorite skewers were the lamb, chicken skin, mixed beef, and mushrooms. Overall, Chubby Skewers is a great place to hang out and have fun with your friends!

This restaurant is part of the chubby chain in CA. It is located in Galleria plaza. Parking here is alright, it does get busy here sometimes so depends on the time. This place is inside the strip mall next to bunsik 88. Once you open the glass door, the front counter is right in front of you with a machine where you can put down the size of your party. This place opens up at 5pm and it gradually gets busier. I came once around 7 and the wait is an hour. There was another time I came around 715 and the wait was around 45 minutes. Last time I came at 6, wait was around 20 minutes. It gets pretty busy in there and a little crowded. Seats are low and the table is not that big. The price of the skewers depends on the number of skewers you get and i around $1-150 each with wagyu beef ones cost more. There is a food bar where you go grab the rawr food skewers you want. They have gloves so it doesn't get your hands dirty. The food is great because they already got seasoning on it and you will have to cook it yourself. Stove is hot. The bill Of the dinner with 2 ppl, my friend and I which was a female costed around $100 without tips. Expect some wait to long wait depends on how late you come but highly recommended!

This is my 3rd time coming to Chubby Skewers and each time has been a great experience. The food is great, the staff is great, and the atmosphere is a vibe. The pricing is also very affordable. There is a big variety of skewers you can choose from and they also have dishes you can order off the menu.

I love how affordable the skewers are. If you are part of their chubby cattle plus membership, all their skewers become $1 instead of $1.10. It's a great deal when you compare to typical Japanese yakitori which costs a lot more. For two people we spend around $50 and come out pretty full. I love their seasonings on the table, it's a cumin chili spice combination, typical to the traditional Chinese skewers flavor profile. I agree with most people that review about the uncomfortable table chairs setup. For a big guy this setup would be uncomfortable, as a petite girl like myself I don't mind it. We always try to come right when it opens at 5pm, when we leave it gets filled up pretty quickly.

Everything tastes great. I usually don't like the gamey taste of lamb, but shockingly the lamb here tastes great. No gamey flavor, but very tender and juicy. And yes, it tastes like lamb (definitely not beef), just doesn't have that wild flavor. I'll definitely come back with my friends.

How this place works is that once you get seated you can go to the skewer station, where you grab the skewers you want to cook yourself. It's currently $1.10 each skewer, and some of the skewers that are more high-end have two skewers through them. There's also a QR code at each table for you to order cooked foods like noodles, rice, scallops, etc. The pros: - good selection of "higher-end" meat like A5 "wagyu", abalone, short rib. I put that in quotes because the meats didn't taste high quality and kind of stinky. - because you cook everything yourself, you don't have to wait to order, you see what's cooking in front of you. - the scallop with vermicelli noodle was really tasty, prob the tastiest thing I've had here. Cons: - we arrived shortly after opening for dinner and even though there was no one waiting, we had to stand by the door and wait five minutes before someone appeared at the desk to sit us. - I know this place is cook yourself, but I think that made my food taste worse as the meat isn't preseasoned and you have to season it yourself. Overall, it was very mid for how much hype there is. I'd rather go to T-Kabob for cook yourself skewers, as those taste better to me. I also don't understand how some reviews are saying the service was good as we didn't get that same attentiveness at all throughout our meal. They even tried giving us someone else's order. It makes me suspect those reviews are fake. I would not return, and do not recommend for skewers. I'd rather go to Joshua Camping or Little Skewer in the area instead.

Not bad, not great. It's a fun novelty to get your own skewers ($1 each!), but as others have pointed out, the size/quality of the meat isn't great. It's not really the quantity, per se, since $1 is pretty fair for the WEIGHTED amount, assuming nothing has slipped off the skewer while it's in the buffet trays. I did see some variance in the skewers, so keep an eye out for that. But anyway, once you cook it and take the pieces off, you'll realize that the pieces kind of resemble scraps. It'd be better if there were fewer but larger pieces. Not everything is $1 either-- For instance, the abalone is on two skewers ($2). It's not very comfortable inside. Besides just being cramped/packed, the tables and seats are really low to the ground. Absolutely would not recommend for anyone with back problems. There's also a pipe running underneath the table that gets really hot. All that being said, Chubby Skewers is a fun concept, and the food isn't bad. It just has a lot of competition in the area: Gui for Chinese skewers, all sorts of KBBQ places... I might pass on this unless you're a big fan of the brand, which admittedly does have a cool multi-franchise membership program.

Chubby Skewers is a unique concept specializing high quality skewer meats. This spot is located in a plaza with a good amount of parking spots. This spot is open late night until 3am everyday with 1:30am being the last call for seating. Keep in mind that wait times can be pretty long during peak hours, so I would recommend to plan accordingly and put your name down on the waitlist. Wifey and I stopped by for a late dinner around 10pm and it was an hour wait. Inside, they have a cool ambiance that mimics Asia with metallic grills and low chair seating. How it works is that you pick as many skewers as you want, grill them on your own, and it all comes out to $1.10 per skewer. They have a wide range of skewers from A5 Wagyu, to seafood, chicken, pork belly, veggies, and more! Overall, we had a great dining experience and enjoyed the laid back vibes. This is a great spot for a more unique date night or to unwind and eat with the homies or family. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. In total, we ate about 57 skewers between the two of us and it was well worth it!

We had dinner her at Chubby Skewers in Roland Heights area. I had four guests. They are part of the Chubby Group. This a type of place to drink and eat skewers of meat. The place is kind of small. We waited for 45 minutes for our table. It is best for a table of four diners. Tables are low and leg room is minimal. This is a hang out for young Gen Z'ers. They are open till 3:00 am. Self-serve to get skewers. Not much service. Quality is just ok for me. Some meats are not tender. I prefer Chubby Cattle better. Parking: Shared lot. Rating: 3 stars

I have been here twice now. Both times, I had a pleasant experience. I like this place. The best part was the $1 skewers and $1.10 for wagyu ones. I m only lowering the rating because the seating was pretty close to each other. The people behind us kept backing their chairs and bumping into us. Rude of them to not bother to say sorry, but the tables were pretty tight. They don't grill the skewers for you. It was a bit dangerous. If you're not careful, you can get some burns. The place is fun for group gathering or family gathering. Snacks on some skewers and have some drinks. Nice to chill. It was pretty loud so it was difficult to have any decent convos. Overall, I like this place and will return. Service was good. Parking and RR avail

A fun and relatively inexpensive alternative to bar hangouts! Chubby Skewers is the perfect place to chat and hang out with friends while enjoying quality skewers and rounds of beer. The skewers are all self-serve in the middle of the restaurant. At the time of this review, each skewer cost $1.10. There's a wide variety -- chicken, pork, beef, and lamb in their various forms, and a pretty impressive selection of skewered vegetables as well. You can load them up on your tray and grill them over charcoal at your table, and it's a satisfying experience, watching them char slightly and drip fat over the coals. Spices and salt are available at each table to enhance the flavors of the skewers. I've been to some of the other restaurants associated with Chubby Group, and Chubby Skewers rounds out the lineup quite well with its casual, informal ambience. I would definitely recommend checking it out, but be wary of the parking situation -- it gets pretty packed.

Excellent service and delicious food! We had a wonderful dining experience. The food was outstanding, and the service was top-notch. A special thank you to Alex for taking such great care of our table--your attentiveness and hospitality truly made our visit even more enjoyable! Definitely coming back'

Located in Sunrize Shopping Center. Plenty of parking, additional parking in back of the building if needed when it gets packed. Came on a Saturday night, waited 20 minutes, even though the lady said it was a 40 minute wait. Skewers are $1.10 each Spicy Cucumber was very spicy Scallops with vermicelli was good Enoki mushroom and vermicelli was okay Drinks and appetizers order off your phone with the barcode they provide. If you have the membership you get a discount. Food was okay. The place was loud and somewhat dirty. It was okay experiences.

It was our first time and we went crazy grabbing all types of skewers mostly the wagyu which had many different type of wagyu the pepper wagyu was fire. We came 4 people and our check with tax and tip was $165.00. We will be back!

been wanting to try this place because we have chubby membership. At first, I only had chubby cattle membership and through the app I purchased or upgrade to all to chubby restaurants owned membership. I love skewers , so I've been wanting to try this place, but they are always busy, especially since they took out the yelp waitlist where you can join through the app. You have to go to the restaurant itself to place your name and from my experience-from my two or three attempts, the standard wait time on weekend nights is usually between one hour to two hours . This time around, we decided to try again and kill time at round one nearby and it worked! By the time the table is ready, they're going to text you, but you can also check the live waitlist . As a member, your skewer will be $1 instead of $1.10. I grabbed whatever that they offer. I love Lamb skewer so I grabbed a bunch of them. It's funny because I didn't really think at all because it's one dollar per skewer anyway.. It feels like all you can eat, but it's really not. The table itself is really short for tall people like me, so I have to open my legs to sit comfortabley lol The grill area is too small for me as well, but it was only two of us so it fits good, but if it's four or five people we're gonna fight for the space lol They offer a lot of Wagyu or A5 meats so I tried a lot and found what I like. You can also order it side dishes, or drinks through the QR code on each table. We ordered some soju. Not only that they play a lot of c pop songs that I recognize growing up so it's very Homey feeling. Also, the staff is very friendly. He made sure that I scan my receipt so I get my double points to my chubby app. parking is crazy as always. This is one of the busiest plaza in the area so you have to be patient.

Came all the way to Rowland Heights to try out this new skewer trend and it was such a cool experience. It's a set price per skewer and you just grab what you want. They had a huge selection of different kinds of meats. They also have a selection of food that you can order off a QR code from your phone. The ambience is really unique, it's brightly lite and has kpop music blasting. Alex was our server and was excellent! Get here early because it's super popular.

The skewers are actually $1.10 if you are not a member. We came with a group of 6 and we waited quite a while for a table to clear up to fit all of us comfortably. you can grab your own skewers and grill them on your own. It takes a lot of skewers to fill you up since each skewer only has about 3 pieces of meat on them. It feels like a street food stall but jts a great spot to hang out with friends

Still coming back for the delicious tendons!!! The skewers are now $1.10 per skewer. However, it's still pretty cheap. The wait was around 1 hour for a party of 6 on a Friday night around 9pm. I noticed they have 1-time vomit bags in the bathroom now too. Are people eating until they throw up? LOL Anyways, I went back because I thought they had a discount after a certain time, but realized it's only for Mon-Thur. Still stayed though for the tendons...

Chubby skewer is a more laid back type of spot than most chubby group restaurants. The meats were very good and buttery with multiple options that will satisfy many. Service was nice and came around every once in a while, can't expect much considering the vibe of this restaurant. Seats are insanely small like it doesn't fit a normal sized adult which was cool yet uncomfortable. Delicious food, the seating/service is what took the point off, vibes in there were cool and would recommend to someone who wants to eat late night as they open til 4.

First time here and we had the best time! The food was delicious and affordable. Our server Alex was friendly and attentive and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of.

First and foremost, the cost cannot be underestimated. With that being said, I believe that you get what you pay for with each tier. The meats were amazing and the overall selections available at each tier made it difficult to run out of options. I also enjoyed the little arcade cabinets present in the waiting area improving the wait time.

Great chill place to get cheap and delicious skewers and grab a late drink with friends! There's no auto-rotations so you do have to flip the skewers yourself but they cook really quick, be careful bc you can easily get burned. There's quite a bit of a wait but I recommend getting on the waitlist and exploring nearby shops while waiting! Easy and free parking.

Wait wasn't too bad and decent selection of skewers. Can't really complain when each skewer is a little over $1. Some of the items would have two skewers in it which meant it would be closer to $2.50. They do have a QR code for certain menu items that can be ordered. We didn't end up getting any of those items. I seldom come to these places but the experience was fun, the grill could have probably been a little bigger and they could have definitely had better ventilation. If you come with a party of two the grill will be enough but with a party of four, it takes quite some time to make sure everyone gets a turn at cooking there item. Hard to cook when the grill is so close to your face. The whole party left with their eyes feeling sore from the Heat and smoke. I would suggest anyone with knee problems NOT to come here. They have their seats extra low and based off of my visits throughout asia, I think it was to have more of a legit experience like you may sit when you are out there. Lower to the floor. No average adult would be able to fit their knees under the table so you kind of have to sit with your legs wide open. Expect to spend roughly $30 a person without drinks

This is one of the hidden gem in Hacienda Height that all the local comes to make a long line to get into their self-cook skewers with really good deals. Their $1 skewers including all the beef from fat belly to lean meat, lamp, chicken wings, seafood, veggie and other side dishes you can order to go refresh your palate! It gives me the sport bar vibes kind of loud but without sports lol it's the liveliness that comes with it. They have me we ship discount that you can get for $28 annually and you give free sauce and some complimentary dishes to sign up, so with 3 people the fleet meal you save that annual fee itself. It's also chained with Chubby Cattle and other Chubby restaurants which you can find when you download their membership app. If you're into wagyu beef, it's a good membership to get year round of deal. Oh my gosh, I think they might have birthday free perks too! Anyways, come check it out! FYI the line is looooong! 1-2hr average of wait, so come prepared hehe. And I didn't take any pictures, we got too busy with signing up membership and picking their free dish perk and grilling the skewers!

The food was pretty good. Honestly, it's the most affordable out of their line of restaurants. They charge $1.10 per skewer so you can visit all the self-serve stations for all the different types of skewers they have. There is a charcoal grill at each table with a range that hovers over it so it never gets smoky when grilling. These are NOT the self turning ones like at T-kebab. You have to manually cook your own skewers, but the skewers are assembled to cook quickly. We had everything from shrimp, abalone, scallops, chicken wings, corn, mushrooms, and different cuts of wagyu, wagyu tongue. At the end of the meal, the waiter/waitress will count up all of your skewers. Some are worth 2 skewers like the abalone and chicken wing, but that's fine. For a party of 7 adults, we went through 96 skewers, 3 bowls of rice, and a beer tower! They do have a lots of other seasonings on the side that you can season your skewers with, but I found all of the skewers well seasoned and marinated. The overall cost was about $212 (tax and tip included) so that is a steal! I understand why there is a wait for this place. I showed up at 4:20pm and was first in line and they decided to open earlier at 4:45pm to cater to line that formed before their usual opening time of 5pm. This place is going for a campy, outside street food setting vibe so all of the tables and foldable chairs are lower, but it adds to the fun. I don't camp, but glamp and am all for visiting Chubby Skewers again. I've been to Chubby Cattle and Mikiya on multiple occasions, so this will be added into my rotation. I do want to visit Niku X down the road but my wallet needs to heal from visiting iWagyu and Yakiya recently. I found out that they are opening a Chubby Skewers in the SGV soon! Also I like this random fact - they have vomit bags in their restrooms! LOl they keep it real since they open until 3am (the post party crowds).

I stopped by Chubby Skewers for a late-night dinner/snack around 1 AM and had a great experience. There was no wait, which was perfect for a spontaneous visit. My server, Alex, was super helpful and welcoming especially since it was my first time here. The service overall was fast and efficient. Each skewer is $1.10 and while the portions are on the smaller side, it's a fun self-serve setup that's perfect for trying a little bit of everything. It was definitely on the pricey side. They also charge for the sauce on the side of the table which was not mentioned at all until I got the check. The vibe was chill with good music playing in the background, making it a nice place to unwind late at night.
