Chubby Fish is one of the few AYCE sushi restaurants in Colorado and is a decent one. It is true that a ~ 2 hour wait during peak times seems to be the norm but it can easily be avoided by utilizing their waitlist on their website. We joined, left our house accordingly, and only ended up waiting about 10 minutes for a table. The food is probably on the lower end of quality out of all the AYCE sushi spots I have been to. The nigiri is very rice-heavy and the quality of the fish is mediocre. The very odd thing about the nigiri is that they add odd sauces and toppings on them. An example is the red snapper, at least I think I remember it being the red snapper, had a lot of mustard seeds that made it very painful to eat even as a person that loves very spicy food. The rolls were decent. Service is a bit slow. We probably waited around 45 minutes total without food or water and waiting on our check. I understand that they are busy but it was a bit frustrating. The last thing I will mention is the music. I understand that AYCE places utilize loud, fast tempo music to get people to eat faster and leave but the music here was interesting to put it lightly. It was a bit loud but also ranged from bumping EDM to Slipknot. I love me some EDM and Slipknot but it's not exactly the type of music I look for when eating. Overall, our experience at Chubby Fish was ok and I am not sure whether I will return. read more

We chose Chubbies Fish Sushi for a celebratory date night, and it definitely delivered on atmosphere and flavor. The restaurant has a genuinely fun atmosphere--the vibe is energetic and really teleports you to a Japanese/Anime environment, making it a unique dining experience in Denver. The food was pretty good across the board, and the drinks were excellent. We enjoyed everything we ordered and felt the quality matched the environment. Where the experience fell slightly short was the service, which requires a bit more focus. Our server was very nice and engaging, but he repeatedly forgot items. Specifically, we ordered two different rounds of sake (one for each of us) and both times only one glass was entered into the system. Additionally, it was difficult to flag him down to get his attention, even when he walked right past the table. While the server's attentiveness needed improvement, the overall quality of the food and the memorable ambiance still make Chubbies a winner. We would absolutely come again, but we hope the service is a little smoother next time, so we don't have to work quite as hard to get the food and drinks we order. read more

Delicious and worth the hype! Will be returning here without a question. The service was fast and excellent they were very helpful in choosing Sushi rolls. Inside was so awesome anime vibes for sure. read more

Update on my review: Having dined here 20-25 times (and I'm not exaggerating), I've noticed a decline in the quality of the fish over time. I used to be impressed by the value for the price, but unfortunately, that's no longer the case. During my visit last week, the salmon nigiri was not fresh and was quite disappointing. If you're looking for a better all-you-can-eat option, I'd recommend Umai Ya, as their quality now seems to surpass this place. Also, their waitlist system is frustrating and poorly managed. The online system shows your place in line but doesn't provide an estimated wait time or arrival period, which makes it difficult to plan your arrival. When you check in at the restaurant, they might quote you about an hour wait, but then send a text 15 minutes later saying your table is ready, often after you've already left to run errands. The inconsistency makes the whole process inconvenient and unreliable. ALSO, they do promotions and raffles in exchange for good reviews if I'm not mistaken so beware of some of these 5 star reviews! read more

All you can eat ($30), totally worth it. They do not take reservations, be prepared to wait, I think we had a 90 minute wait and we went to Prost and got beers before heading back closer to the time we anticipated. Aside from the sushi, they have tons of small bites and skewers. The sushi was pretty good, for AYCE I feel like I taper my expectations and this one is worth it. You might even get your food brought out by the robot server! read more

They said they could seat us right away but we ended up having another person. They said "a few more minutes" which is completely fine. About 15 minutes later we asked to see how much longer and they told us "35-45 more minutes". It's 20° outside and they don't allow more than 6 in their waiting room. Why would they not tell us how much longer it was from the start? We ended up going somewhere else. read more

The staff was so friendly but getting food felt sluggish. I have seen some reviews here and wanted to chalk it up to "working out the kinks" with a new renovation, but I don't think that's the case here. I was here with a large group under a reservation. We were seated early and separated into 3 small, 4 person tables. Instead of taking orders for our tables separately, they ordered our food on one ticket. This led to one singular table being overloaded with food, while the people at the other tables had to get up and walk across the walkway or pass plates to share food. It just felt incredibly awkward to have to twist myself in my seat or get up and reach over other friends trying to eat. As a result, I do not recommend this place for large groups. Before all this even started, we sat for about 15-20 min only receiving drinks before we got a slip to actually order. Looking at the menu I had so many things I wanted to try. At an ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT place that is so rare for me. The problem was after ordering, many things never arrived at our table. Alternatively, we received many dishes we DIDN'T ORDER. Extra bowls of miso, yakitori, spicy ramen we didn't request etc. it ended up being a 2 hour ordeal. I left still hungry and frustrated. I tried ordering a scoop of matcha ice cream as a consolation prize once things started to wind down. Alas, that never arrived either. Just the check. The decor of the place is so fun and they have themed menu changes. In conclusion, I had waited a long while to finally try Chubby Fish, ultimately I was disappointed. Really bummed because the food was pretty decent, but I didn't get to try anything I really wanted as it was lost in translation. So what was the whole point? It just felt awkward and disorganized. If things improve, this could be a great late night spot but as it stands, it feels a bit half-baked. read more

Hopefully the price stays put coz for AYCE sushi, this place is great!! Sushi menu is full and varied, apps menu is also pretty nice - the pork belly skewers are bomb! Service was very good and friendly. They explained that ordering in several rounds is better than piling everything on at once - nice. The ONLY critique is: some may say they love using mayo. Some folks may mind, I didn't. Overall, this will be on regular rotation when considering sushi. read more

We got our table much quicker than anticipated! Is this going to be the best and most cravable sushi of your life- probably not. Is it worth the stop, fix your sushi craving, and a fun experience- most definitely! The energy here is high and atmosphere is fun. Worth the try! read more

This is probably the best all you can eat sushi restaurant I've ever eaten at, and I love me some sushi. Big warning before you get any further, get on the waitlist. It's not easy to find online so I'm including a picture of the QR code in my review and posting the link below. It resets everyday at 5. The atmosphere is really fun and the staff were nice but I think they might be a little overworked, things took a little longer than expected and there were a couple of mistakes. They fixed everything and we have no complaints, just a heads up. Everything we tried was really yummy. Some of the table favorites were the Beserker buns from the specials menu, the pork belly bao buns, all of the skewers we tried, and the dragon roll. They have tons of sushi options but also lots of small plates for those who are not big sushi fans or if you want a mix. For about $30 a person, it is definitely worth your money to go here. We will definitely be back! Wheelchair accessibility: two accessible parking spots out front that share an access lane. The front door was a little heavy. The inside is accessible as long as the robot waiter isn't blocking a path. Lots of seating options, and a mostly accessible bathroom although it had small turning radius, a heavy door, and the soap dispenser is hard to reach. They do have a menu online but it looks like just a picture so I'm not sure if it would be screen reader accessible.

I've been sketched out by AYCE sushi because of the low quality of the fish and other dishes they offered but Chubby Fish was different and their food was actually pretty good. The sushi was pretty good but the rice was not set enough so it was a little bit mushy, otherwise the fish was actually pretty good. I also tried their ramen and it did taste pretty good. Broth was flavorful and noodles were bouncy and chewy. Service was pretty good and the wait staff came through often to clean off the plates and get new orders. They also have a robot coming around to deliver the food which was cool. The decor also was super cool and it felt like I was in an anime lol. Overall a good restaurant to go and affordable. So if you have a big stomach I would go here! read more

This all you can eat sushi spot is incredibly delicious. They have all sorts of hot dishes as well and they were quick and attentive to our large party of six people. We brought a cake for my son's birthday party and they were very nice to give us extra utensils and plates to help with serving it. All of the rolls and food we got was fresh and tasty. We will definitely return! read more

Chubby Fish Sushi - Dining room - Sushi Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Our server Abigail was wonderful- really funny and did a great job of checking in on us regularly. We waited about 40 minutes on a Thursday at 5, so if you think it's going to be slow... probably not. Love the modern, playful Japanese decor. The open kitchen is a fun choice, and they play upbeat electronic music that makes it feel like a speedy video game. Plus there's a robot that goes around and delivers food (not to us, but to other people? Not sure how it works). It really adds to the experience. The beer is SO reasonably priced- $2 for Coors light draft. Each adult is $30 for all you can eat, they do NOT sell individual rolls. Which is a shame, because some of the specialty rolls were TOP notch, and I would probably come more often to get those individually than for ayce. You really have to predict your stomach- each individual piece that you don't eat costs you an additional $1, and you can't take anything home. The small bites come out faster, and are easier on your stomach. The specialty rolls fill you up FAST, and came out last. Favorite items: Fire in the sky roll (deep fried and perfectly spicy/flavorful) Golden Philadelphia roll (another tasty deep fried roll) Pork Belly skewers (a little dry but the seasoning is chefs kiss) Seared Salmon Nigiri Baked Green Mussels (the topping is delicious!) Items that weren't worth the stomach space: Tonkotsu ramen (standard tasting ramen, just not on the same level as other items) Shrimp skewers (really good flavor, but you have to strip the tail and shell, which is difficult when it's skewered) Classic rolls (too much rice and just mid flavor) Overall, this is an EXPERIENCE. Really fun for a novelty night out. read more

90% chewy rice. Moderate freshness, wasn't amazing. Chicken katsu and gyoza were so dry we couldn't even finish it. Takes forever to get food once you order, so the 90 min max you only get to order maybe twice before they kick you out. Would not reccomend. read more

So after trying a sushi restaurant that serves high quality sushi, I have to knock this down a star. If you're looking for AYCE, this is a great place. For $30, the price isn't bad and it's one of the few AYCE sushi places with lamb skewers. However, just know that we came on a Friday at 5:30 and we waited two hours until we were seated so I don't know if it's worth it. There's not much to do except get a drink and chill at BFW. So definitely go with people you can tolerate hours with. The sushi rolls were okay. Nothing really spectacular that made me justify waiting over two hours for. The appetizers were probably my favorite. The skewers were delicious - recommend getting the lamb.The baked muscles were so cheesy and tasty. The chubby roll was also really tasty acting like a salmon tempura. I have seen two sushi establishments at this spot and it looks like it finally found a sushi restaurant style that would actually succeed. The parking lot is small and pretty much everyone is here to try it out so it might be hard to find parking. The decor is really cute and I love all the wall art and signs they have.

The restaurant has a super cool atmosphere and that's why we wanted to try it. Service was good so this review is not against the people working... but the food was borderline inedible. The ginger was browning, and every single item we ordered either was an unappetizing color, or had an odd taste. We left feeling super bummed and resentful of the money spent. read more

If I could give Chubby Fish 100 stars, I absolutely would. This is hands down the best sushi I've had anywhere in Colorado. From the moment we walked in, everything felt welcoming, bright, and incredibly clean. Even the bathrooms were spotless and fresh which honestly says a lot about the care they put into their restaurant. The huge flat-screen TV playing anime while you dine is such a fun and unique touch that makes the whole experience even better. The food? Outstanding. Every roll was fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. You can truly taste the quality in every bite. And I have to give a special shoutout to Juan, our server. His service was exceptional attentive, friendly, and genuinely caring. He made us feel valued the entire time and elevated an already amazing meal into an unforgettable experience. Great food brings you in once. Amazing service brings you back again and again and we will definitely be back. 100/10. Thank you, Juan, for making our visit incredible! read more

We called at 6pm on a Tuesday night and were encouraged to enter the waitlist on OpenTable. The wait was about 70 minutes! Luckily we weren't that hungry and there was a park nearby so we hung out there before we got called. Once we were called, we entered the restaurant and it was so clean and well decorated. I was surprised and how well let and inviting the restaurant was. The bathroom however was extremely small and I could barely open the stall door and get out. Once we sat down, we were helped after about 10 minutes. The water tasted like tap water. The menu had pictures and descriptions for each item which was helpful! Then we got a sheet with all the items and we wrote the amount for each item that we wanted. The waitress came and took the sheet. The food arrived on a cute little kitty robot after about 10 minutes. We do only have 90 minutes to each which made it tough to wait so long for our food after we ordered. The sushi tasted fresh and it was well made. However if you don't finish your pieces, you'll get charged $1/piece. The hot food was also pretty good with the exception of the hibachi. We got the shrimp hibachi and the shrimp had a strange taste. The spicy miso ramen was really good although slightly on the salty side, but not too bad! Overall, most of the food was yummy and the service was good! Aside from the long wait, and the teeny bathroom, and the yucky water, I would recommend giving this place a try! Especially for $30! read more

Chubby Fish Sushi - Yummm - Sushi Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Lots of yummy options BUT not worth waiting 2+hours in my opinion. I will return when the hype dies down and the wait time is more reasonable. Food overall: Sushi is fresh and quality for the unlimited deal they're running. Based on what I like, appetizers ranged from delicious to okay (most were average). We ordered tonkotsu ramen, but we never got it. By the time, we asked for them again, it was sold out. Favorites: Enjoyed the raw items with minimal or no sauce the most - the ngiri options (tuna, salmon, hamachi, ikura, red snapper, and eel), Truffle white tuna, and shumai. Love, love the sesame balls - I literally ate two orders (4 pieces) by myself. Vibe: Noisy as the place was packed out. Colorful decor. Price: $30? Very reasonable for what you're getting. Service: Nice and polite. Kudos to all employees there who deal with that much chaos. read more

When you walk in, scan the QR code and they say it's a two hour wait....believe them. We came here (what I thought) early, on a Friday evening but apparently everyone else had the same idea. It's AYCE and shiny and new so I get it, so we waited. We waited in the car, ran an errand, went to Buffalo Wild Wings in the same shopping center (the official waiting spot for the Chubby Fish wait list) and then finally got sat. We sat at the sushi bar, our server explained the process to us and we started the ordering. We got a few rolls along with a lot of nigiri and they were cranking it out. The sushi chefs HUSTLE here, they just kept making rolls, plating them and then onto the next one. We got a few skewers and pork bao, which personally I would pass on the bao if we go back. Skimpy on the meat and it had a brown grayish color, it didn't look good and tasted ok. The nigiri was tasty and the roll was good as well. What rolls we got? I couldn't tell you since they blended together but one thing I can say if you're going to take someone who is a sushi novice, this is the perfect place for them (aka they have a lot of fried rolls and rolls with cream cheese). One of the most memorable things we had was dessert, the strawberry bingsu. It was absolutely heavenly and a perfect end to the meal. Our server says it takes about five minutes to make so I'm not sure how long they will keep it on the menu but if you go here in the neat future, order it! All in all, it was a good experience but I most likely won't come back if it is going to be a two hour wait. They recently opened so I hope they can keep up the momentum .....as they should with the EDM soundtrack to make people eat faster and leave (in my opinion, of course. read more

I had the opportunity to dine at Chubby Fish. People are not lying when they talk about the wait to get a table. I arrived at 5:30 and we got seated around 8PM. It was a Saturday so I didn't expect anything less. Last weekend when I tried to go the wait was estimated at 3 hours even at 4:30, so expect a wait. Once we were seated it was smooth sailing and it was actually a pretty calm dining experience. The energy is there, but it's not overwhelming. I also love the roving cat robot that delivers the sushi too. So cute! We got seated and our server greeted us and immediately asked what we wanted to order after she explained the menu, which was a little overwhelming. Another tip is to go in with a plan. I tried the tonkotsu ramen which was small and the right size. My friends got the miso soup which smelled delightful too. For starters we tried the green mussels (too much mayo), the crispy tuna, and the super white truffle tuna (not enough truffle but awesome still). For sushi we tried the Fire in the Sky and another spicy roll of the specialty menu. I think in the future I might skip the specialty rolls. They were a little too over the top and not enough fish for my liking. The nigiri was an absolute star of the show though. You can order one piece of each type of fish at a time and there's a limit to how much you can order all at once. The hamachi was incredible though. I could eat that all day! I recommend it, but definitely have a plan for the wait and for what you'll order once your table is ready. read more

We've been hearing about this place from friends and we finally visited as a group of 8 for a birthday celebration. We made sure to arrive early (on a Thursday) since we also heard that they can get quite busy, but luckily we were seated right away. Everything seemed super organized. We were told how everything works and then encouraged to place a large order to get ourselves started. Each of us chose a couple items, but I'd recommend making your first order even bigger. Most of the options are fairly small, even the bowl of ramen was a small serving, but that works out perfectly so you aren't too stuffed to try more. The service was quick and friendly and imagine our surprise when a giant whale mascot came out of the kitchen and along with a couple staff and their robot servers, sang happy birthday to our friend! That was fun :). The price is excellent for the quality and amount of food. We will be back! read more

The wait is long during the weekend, so it is obvious that it is descent. We like to just go on the waitlist on open table before we head there. The ambiance is busy on the ceiling but a clean restaurant. The food is descent and not too long of the wait. Sitting at the sushi bar feels like you get served faster. We prefer the nigiri but the sushi rolls aren't bad. Just don't recommend the Japanese cheesecake, it is definitely just from a package that you can get at the Asian market. read more

Came here on a late Friday night. The place is in a small strip mall that has a few parking options. We put our name on the waitlist via Opentable. By the time we got to the restaurant, our table was ready. The place was really busy and had a lot of people waiting outside for their table The food was not very impressive. But what can you expect from an AYCE place. Service was not very good either. I asked for the check a couple of times and did not get until 30 minutes later. This is a one-and-done kind of place. read more

We decided to try Chubby Fish Sushi after hearing about the buzz, but honestly, I don't get the hype. We were number 41 on the waitlist and thankfully managed to skip the line by grabbing seats at the bar--and thank goodness, because waiting over two hours would not have been worth it. We ordered a wide variety of items: Pork Belly Bun - fluffy bun, decent flavor Truffle White Tuna - didn't taste any truffle Baked Green Mussels - delicious, but hard to mess up (they're good everywhere) Chicken Karaage - very okay Chubby Bite & Crispy Spicy Tuna - heavy Pork Belly, Shrimp & Lamb Skewers - the highlight of the meal; all were well-seasoned, juicy, and flavorful Phantasm Roll & Gold Philadelphia Roll - rich and decadent, but overly greasy and left me feeling a bit sick Assorted Nigiri - underwhelming; seared salmon wasn't really seared, rice and fish were both just "meh" While the variety was very appealing, the quality just didn't match the wait. The rolls were indulgent but lacked balance, and most of the meal leaned too heavily into oiliness. If I lived nearby and could walk in without a wait, I might come back just for the skewers. But as it stands, this place is not worth waiting hours for. The experience felt more like hype than substance. read more

Get ready to fill your belly, but also know you're going to empty your wallet a little bit too... But you won't be disappointed about it. The quality and quantity were amazing! They were able to do some slight customizations for our kids - which was a HUGE plus!! And the waiter, Jay (?), was patient and great with our kids. We appreciated the whole atmosphere for a super memorable birthday dinner for the newly 12 year old. Still feeling a lil chubby from the meal! read more

They don't take reservations but a waitlist on opentable, You must plan in advanced to get on the waitlist an hour before you want to eat since there's normally a wait. We went on Friday night, the opentable system worked as described, as it showed we were 5th, we started making our way to the restaurant and when we showed up, table was ready. The vibe as you walk in is pretty fun: the decorations, lighting, music and robots carrying food. Our waiter was attentive, explained the process and we got our order delivered really fast right after we gave him the paper with our selections. The food was delicious! The phantasm roll was our favorite, the classic rainbow roll always tasty and refreshing. Since we don't like tempura or cream cheese, the rolls menu started getting limited but we ordered some apps and nigiri. Really enjoyed the experience and will be coming back ! read more

Excellent services minus the two hour wait to get seated. This placed is definitely happening and if you don't mind the loud music and echoey acoustics then this is the place for you. When I think of a Japanese restaurants especially sushi place I think of a far more quiet place who have sushi chefs who are primarily focused on providing an experience as well as masterfully cutting fish. Definitely not a quiet place and with the cartoon characters strung up everywhere it felt a bit immature. You get two hours to eat as much sushi as you want. The fish is fresh and even the cooked items are wonderful as well. You get your choice of sushi rolls, nigiri, bao and even the strawberry bingsu (shaved ice) at the end was wonderful. Our waiter mentioned this was for a limited time so don't expect it to be around for much longer if it is still around. Overall a solid experience but not sure I would wait that long next time. This would be a great place for a group of friends to get together and catch up. Otherwise, if you want something intimate I would recommend somewhere else. Still a fun place to try once. read more

Super fun and trendy restaurant! For AYCE it is a decent bang for your buck, 29.99/adult 15.99/child. The wait times are astronomical so make sure to check OpenTable to see how many people are on the waitlist, they do not accept reservations. Hostess was super friendly and helpful, the overall service at our table was not the greatest. The server barely came by and when he did we had to wave him over to us. Food quality was not the greatest, but was on par for what you paid for. What is impressive is the speed at which the sushi chefs pump out their rolls. Least favorite dishes- steak skewers and steak hibachi. The steak is fatty and chewy with little to no flavor whatsoever. Mid-tier dishes- crispy rice with spicy tuna (rice patty was thick and extremely mushy in the center, tuna was not the freshest and had a fishy aftertaste) Hamachi Nigiri (extremely thin slice of hamachi, overall fishy taste, a huge ball of rice underneath) The sushi rolls in general were mid. They use a TON of rice for the rolls and the fish is chopped really fine and had the consistency of paste. Not the greatest quality either, but at this price point, what do you expect (haha) Top Tier- The tonkatsu ramen was fantastic Tamago Nigiri- delicious but small pieces of tamago Kani Nigiri Karaage- so crispy and has great spice Fried Rice- Simple but delicious read more

I came here around 6pm on a Wednesday night. I checked in by scanning the QR code and being placed on a wait list. We were 27th in line which took us (a party of 2) about an hour to get seated. I was unaware there was an online waitlist where I could have put my name down on open table to save a spot in line. Do this in advance if you don't want to wait! When we first got seated we weren't served or spoke to for about 10 minutes. Once we got served then our service was great. We tried the wontons, pork belly bun, white tuna, jalapeño bomb, sesame balls, crispy spicy tuna as appetizers and they were all underwhelming. The ones that we somewhat enjoyed were the pork belly bun and the sesame balls. We also got the spicy ramen, fast and furious roll, and the sakura rolls. The ramen was bland, the broth itself and the noodles did not have much flavor to it. The rolls were just okay. For nigiris, we got the basic tuna, seared tuna, salmon, and seared salmon. For an AYCE buffet, their nigiri's are larger than most which was a plus. You can't go wrong with the tuna and salmon nigiri! They were pretty good but I would steer away from the seared tuna and salmon unless you like sweet nigiris. The seared fish has a sauce on it that we didn't not like that made it too sweet. I also got the passion fruit drink which was the best thing I had on the menu. They use real fruit in this drink! Overall, I was expecting better with all the hype that was going around and was not worth the wait. This is one of the better AYCE sushi buffets I've been to in Colorado but don't expect to have high end small plates and rolls. read more

Great service, lively atmosphere and cute decor. The service provided was fast and efficient. We arrived 15 minutes prior to opening on a Saturday, and a lengthy line has already formed outside but we were seated rather quickly. For the price the food was delicious. We sampled dishes from appetizer, hibachi, sushi and ramen sections and were pleasantly pleased with each dish. The ramen was perfectly portioned, allowing room to explore other menu items. They also offered 1.50 Coors light and 3$ 5oz hot sake. Despite the busyness, the servers were remarkably attentive. We will definitely be back in the future. read more

I've been waiting to try Chubby Fish, and even though it wasn't my favorite dining experience, I'd still go back for the unlimited sushi and price. We ended up going to Chubby Fish during their soft opening, and arrived 5 minutes after they opened on a Friday. A lot of the tables were filled up, but there was no wait. I'd definitely recommend going right when they open to avoid the long wait times that people have mentioned. The atmosphere was busy and upbeat. A decent amount of tables that fit all size groups. The robot that delivers food is super cute and the decor is fun. The staff seem a little stressed because everything is fast paced, but everyone was friendly. The sushi was good and the other food items were okay. I think the $29.99 deal is worth it for the unlimited sushi. if I go back, I would only order the sushi. All the rolls were good, particularly the rainbow roll. We even saw large tables ordering platters of nigiri and sushi. The other items were more about quantity than quality, but they weren't bad. You definitely get more bang for your buck by focusing on the sushi. Some of our orders got lost - we waited 45 mins for 5 pieces of nigiri (we kept being told it was on the way), but ended up closing out because the order wasn't put in. I think the kinks will be worked out in time, and that more servers will help. I will wait a bit for things to sort out, but I'm interested in coming back for a sushi fest of my own. read more

A super trendy and awesomely decorated restaurant! It's in a small strip mall that has a large parking lot. Calling to be placed on a wait list is advisable but we were able to get seated right away without doing so. It's $30'ish apiece for all you can eat and the food and service are outstanding! The robots that bring you food to the table are pretty cool too! A draft beer (Sapporo) is $7 for the first one, and only $1 for the second. I highly recommend Chubby Fish! read more

friend recommend it. can't believe we don't have to wait 2 hours like last time we were here. Décor is lively and loud music popping! Staff are super friendly explaing the menu since is our first time. Was seated at the Sushi Bar so got to see them making the sushi and cutting a tuna! So many choices! The lamb skew was sooooo good!!! I had like 12 of it. The only thing I don't recommend is the Salmon Onigiri. The flavor is just not what we are use to. Will definitely be back if we are in the area and don't have to wait 2 hours. read more
