    If you're looking for a fun experience that feels like stepping into a late-night food market in China, Chubby's Skewers is definitely worth checking out. I stopped by around 11:30 PM because I couldn't sleep, and the place was still busy. One of the biggest advantages is that they're open very late--until midnight or even 2 AM depending on the day. There were still plenty of people arriving after midnight when I left, which tells you how popular it is. The atmosphere felt very authentic. The restaurant was smoky from the charcoal grills, and nearly everyone was speaking Chinese. Even the busboy and waitress had to use Google Translate to help explain some of the menu items to me, which honestly added to the experience. The food quality was solid, but for me the biggest draw was the overall experience of picking out skewers and cooking them over a charcoal fire. The Wagyu skewers were decent, and the bacon-wrapped enoki mushrooms were good as well. I also enjoyed the crispy bread and Brussels sprouts. The standout dish for me was the fresh spicy cucumber and cilantro plate. It had a light, refreshing flavor that reminded me of a milder kimchi-style seasoning and was easily my favorite item of the night. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit and would absolutely go back for another late-night snack. If I drank alcohol, I imagine this place would be even more fun. Great atmosphere, unique experience, and a perfect option when you're craving something different late at night.

    Chubby Skewers is a fun place to go with your friends and out of towners! This is perfect place for chatting and hanging out. More of an interactive experience and cooking foods together. It's generally kid friendly as long as your kids don't like to reach and touch hot things. I generally enjoy getting the chicken parts and the beef that's less fatty. The brisket for me is a bit too fatty but that's not their fault. It's just the cut. The staff is always nice to us and very friendly. Pro tip is to ask for the skewer tool since it helps a lot with getting the meat off the skewer. If they see you struggling, sometimes they will bring to you. I think it's very important what time you go if you don't want to run into a crowd and a long wait. I don't recommend going on weekends around 6. Seems really busy and long wait since the place is generally cook your own food. Do the math but the membership can be worth it!

    Great experience at Chubby Skewers! The skewers were fresh and flavorful, and grilling them at the table made it really fun. The staff was friendly and helpful, Definitely recommend and will come back again! and they have the Chinese Beers (Wushu)one of best loved Chinese beers.

    Saw this place mentioned on social media so I gathered a group of friends and we checked it out for dinner. The restaurant is a cook your own skewer at your table type of place. Setup is simple: they bring a charcoal cooking box to your table, you select as many or as few skewers you want from the coolers, cook them to your liking, and they charge you per skewer at the end. The options are many and varied. We had shrimp, scallops, bacon wrapped enoki mushrooms, lamb, teriyaki chicken, brisket, pineapple, bell peppers, wagyu, Toast, even roasted a spike of garlic. They provide cumin, a dry spicy rub, chili powder and sesame for flavor. I feel that an assortment of dipping sauces would compliment the setting, but they don't have them- that's the only thing keeping this food from being spectacular. All in all it's a fun place and a nice change from the norm. Definitely recommended.

    For a first time experience, it was a little overwhelming. The hostess was very nice and showed us the process. Very fast and you get what you want, nothing more, nothing less. Thanks! We came here while charging our Tesla...good stop!

    Our first time here. Great experience. Service was attentive. A great way to try different cuts of meat. Quality was great. Love the cucumber salad.

    So simple but amazing. Meat and pairings grilled over charcoal. A lot faster of a cook than KBBQ and a lot tastier. The meat which is already great quality gets so tender. My favorites are the black pepper wagyu and the lamb in the dry rub. The service is usually pretty quick. I highly recommend getting the subscription if you plan on going more than once, takes the skewer price down from 1.30 to 1.00. They have lots of available seating and do team service. Usually pretty clean and I love that they're open late. My go to after a long night!

    Really making this Chubby Club membership worth it and trying things when out of state. Happened to be in the Mesa area and decided to try Chubby Skewers. A little crazy with reservations since it was Valentine's day, but they are open until 2AM. They have a menu for cooked items like the wagyu beef rice bowl, fried shrimp balls, and the cucumber salad (so good!). Fun and interactive concept grilling your own skewers. They charge for the charcoal and per person to use the seasonings. You also have to order your rice separately. Self serve skewer stations. So many options to choose from but our favorites were the pork and the variety of beef / wagyu skewers. Some meats have 2 skewers - double the price. They have a cheat sheet for how long to cook each specific meat. Overall a fun dining experience. Can't really comment on service too much since this was a DIY restaurant. They didn't really have to do anything or check-in on us since we're doing everything ourselves. Lol. I would love some sort of sauce to dip the meats in since the dusting of dry seasonings just tasted flat. All the skewers go in a metal canister and when you're done, the staff counts it infront of you. Between 4 adults, we did about 70 skewers. Which was not bad at all cost wise. *Chubby Club membership pricing is $1 per skewer, free charcoal, and free seasonings.

    Stop by to try this chinese bbq place. We choose and pick the skewers in the fridge area our self then bring them to our table to grill (there is an instruction on the table for how long we need to grill them) once it done, we can add some spices that is provided on the table, but the skewers it self are already marinated and tasty even without additional spices. For me, since I like spicy, I add some chilli, cumin & dry spices. Its a new experience for the kids, they really enjoy to choose, grill then eat them. It was really fun and most importantly is that the food is delicious!!! Be cautious, you might be addicted and won't be able to stop eating ^_^.

    We've gone to Chubby Skewers three times now and it's better now than it was during their first few months of opening. First visit: The options were lackluster, the service sucked and we left not wanting to come back. We hated everything on their menu except their skewers. We especially hated the stir fried noodles or the scallops in garlic sauce. Everything was so salty and inedible. Second time: good, better variety and service was a little better. We had no complaints but nothing wowed us. Third time: WAY better than previous visits. Service was fast and friendly. Good options on their menu now. Fried rice is insanely delicious, I was surprised and expected it to be average. Cucumber salad is always good. Malatang was full of ingredients and soo numbing. We ordered the Chinese pancake wraps but they dropped off tortillas... which we didn't understand. $6 for tortillas. If we wanted tortillas, we would have asked for tortillas. They should have let us know they were out of the wraps instead of dropping off tortillas so we don't order them lol. Skewers are still good and they have better variety now. They have unlimited Pepsi if you pay for the first round. Super loud and lively, so if that's not your thing, avoid.

    This place has a very interesting concept with a twist on Korean bbq with grilling your own meat. There is a metal hot box they set on your table filled with coals which you can set metal skewers of meat on top to cook. You walk over to the large refrigerators with about 8 doors and there are trays of meat, seafood, and a few veggies. I thought this was fun but the skewers of meat were about only 2" long at most. The restaurant charges you for everything, the coals, the spices mixes that you add to your skewers. I'm not sure why they don't include this in the price of the experience. There were other food items that you can order via a QR code on the table which we only ordered rice. The booths were very tight. So much so that you can't put your legs under the booth. Please opt for the tables instead of the booth. Overall felt it was a unique experience that I would do once. Not sure I would go back.

    First time visiting and our server did a great job at explaining what to do, how everything worked and what items were available. The meats itself were really good and flavorful on their own. There is an additional charge for getting the charcoal itself and if you use any of their seasonings at each table. I wish they had more sides and sauces to go along with the meat but otherwise really good. All skewers are $1.20 each and they charge you based on how many skewers you have at the end. Definitely recommend getting the membership if you see yourself visiting often as it seems like a great deal and will pay for itself after a couple of visits!

    Extra $4.90 for the bear

    If you're a fan of the Chubby Cattle group, this spot is a must-try. Happy Hour skewers are just $1.25 each -- yes, you read that right -- making it super easy to sample a ton of options without breaking the bank. One of my absolute favorites here is the stir-fry instant noodles -- seriously, must get. Plus, I love that you get to choose your own skewers, so you can mix and match to your heart's content. There's a huge variety, so everyone leaves happy. I've waited forever at the California location (no way I'm doing a two-hour wait again), so trying this one was a game-changer -- and I loved it. Fair warning, it does get a bit smokey inside, and if you order spicy, be ready for some real heat -- but that just adds to the fun. Overall, it's a tasty, customizable, and wallet-friendly hotpot experience -- perfect for both casual nights out and those "I need ALL the skewers" cravings.
