Christa M.

Super unique experience but we were very unsure how it all went. The hostess gave us a super quick and vague run down on how everything worked.. She directed us towards the refrigerators and then took us to our table. We then picked out the skewers we wanted and sat down. By this time, our charcoal had been dropped off and we scanned the QR code to see what else we could order. We ordered a side of white rice, potstickers, cucumber salad, and corn cheese. The cucumber salad was delicious and a must. It went will with the meats and helped with giving it flavor and for it to not be dry. The corn cheese was not good as it was very mushy. We ended up eating 39 skewers and our grand total for a party of 3 was about $90. The experience was fun and unique. Now that we know how it flows, we'll have a better experience next time.

Service was horrible. They were busy and the servers were overwhelmed but I am confused on why because they don't take orders or anything all they do is bring out the grill thing. You even have to get your own water. The girl didn't explain anything to us on how we were supposed to do anything so we sat there like uhhhhh so what are we supposed to do!? We scanned the QR code and ordered rice and we had already grabbed meat not knowing why really to do but still no rice. They also charge you for the spices so my husband ended up just using them since we were getting charged for it anyway. And when we were ready to leave there was no server in sight. The meats were good and price was fair, but the lack of service left a bad taste in our mouth.

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!

Had a great time at chubby skewers recently. It's not AYCE but you're charged per skewer (no more than $2) In other reviews I found it concerning that there isn't sauce for the skewers but to be honest the seasoning and the way you grill the skewers is pretty good as is. They have a menu where you can order other dishes and drinks as well. The only downside of my recent visit was that they ran out of rice. Other than that it was still a great time.

This place was so fun! Flew in late and saw that this place was open so my friends and I decided to try it. You get a big variety of meats and seafood to choose from. The servers were very informative, being this was our first time at a skewer place. The restaurant looked very similar like other bbq places. The only down part is that it's ala carte and not AYCE. The price racked up fast depending on what you ate and the portion of each skewers wasn't that big. The food itself was good, you cook it yourself on charcoal and it's more for the experience. Over all fun but can get pricey.

Came here with the family for a fun dinner experience, and it delivered on the vibe! The retro neon-lit décor is super Instagram-worthy, and the self-serve skewer bar concept is genuinely unique in the Valley. We grabbed a mix of wagyu beef, lamb, chicken, and veggies -- the quality of the meat was solid and everything tasted great fresh off the charcoal. The staff really made the experience. Everyone was warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in, and they were attentive throughout the meal. When our charcoal started dying down, they came by and swapped it out without us even having to ask -- that kind of proactive service goes a long way, especially when you're managing kids at the grill. A few honest notes: the portion per skewer is on the smaller side (at $1.20-$1.30 each, it adds up fast if you want to actually feel full), so go in knowing this is more of a fun experience than a hearty meal. Also, if you're bringing younger kids, keep a close eye on the grilling -- the charcoal gets extremely hot and it can be tricky to tell when smaller pieces are fully cooked through. Parents should plan to manage the grill for little ones. Overall, a great spot for a social night out or a family outing -- just don't arrive starving. Would recommend getting the membership if you plan to come back!

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!

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 ^_^.

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!

We got there right at opening time and there was already a line of 30+ people waiting to check in but gladly they were efficient with their check in process. The food and selection were great but the price of the skewers add up. Everything cost money. The sauces, the charcoal, rice, skewers, anything. If you're willing to pay the money it's definitely worth it' I don't think there's any other kind of restaurant like this. The inside and restrooms are clean. However, I don't like how the minimum tip option is 18%. There is hardly any service being done here. There is more service at a Korean bbq place than here. You have to get up and get your own skewers and cook them. You have to get your own trays and condiments and everything. The only thing you don't do yourself is bring the charcoal grill out and get served any additional drinks or side dishes. So I think it's rude to expect such high tip for such little service being done. I personally am someone who I'll go above and beyond for great service but only when it's deserved. read more

To start, the food was AMAZING. Great quality, fresh, and tons of options. From octopus to teriyaki chicken, A5 wagyu beef to chicken heart, there's options for everybody. There is usually a long wait, especially on weekends, so be prepared. The service was quick, but be advised that there are no paper menus and all items that aren't meat must be ordered through a QR code. Lastly, the ambiance in this place is great, but I will add that there was a cockroach in the bathroom. Great experience overall, fun to try, but will get expensive if you like to eat. read more

4/5 = food 3/5 = service I LOVE SKEWERS. I am so happy we have a dedicated skewer shop, but there were some issues (totally fixable). The restaurant is if neon signs threw up on everything; it's very bright in there, and it adds to the ambiance in my opinion. I personally liked the atmosphere that's created with all the lights. The restaurant used to be a KBBQ place, and you can tell they didn't rearrange anything, and found ways to make the current set up work for skewers as well. It's funny--the other night they were only playing KPOP, so the joke among my table is that they must have inherited the KBBQ's music playlist as well! The service was okay... it was interesting. Everything can be done via phone/QR code, but there were some issues that my group had found. We flagged down 4 different servers to help with our charcoal, and none of them did anything. Some said they'd call someone over, but no one ever came. Some looked us in the eyes, then walked away/quickly broke eye contact. Some we saw physically make eye contact with us, walk to another server and point at us, but... nothing happened after that. The only person who actually helped us seemed to be the manager. This leads me to my next point--both times I've gone, the charcoal grill was finicky. The left and ride sides would not heat up, so only the middle (can fit 3, maybe 4 skewers) would cook, and the cooking took FOREVER. You pretty much need to request a charcoal change as soon as you sit down, otherwise you're staring at your food in misery, especially if you go with a group of friends. One thing that made me question their training though was server food safety. The skewers are kept in these refrigerators that are all self-serve. I went back at one point to get more skewers, and I saw a server grab a drink from the drinks refrigerator right next to the meat. The server then walked away.... Which is normally fine, except that he clearly saw that one of the doors for the meat was wide open? Like, not just ajar; WIDE OPEN. There's no way he missed it. He just did not close the door/didn't care enough to close the door. I closed it immediately, but it's questionable considering we don't know how long the door was open? The wagyu, lamb, pork belly, and scallop skewers are the best in my opinion, but DO NOT GET THE COOKED LAMB SKEWERS. They are not good. read more

This place has potential and was fun to try, but I don't think I'd go back unless they make some changes. The skewers were okay--some seasonings were a bit off, but dipping them in salt or sesame made them taste better. It's definitely more of a hangout spot than a place to get a satisfying meal. The setup is a little chaotic. It's mostly self-serve, which is fine in theory, but kind of confusing in practice--especially when there are a bunch of staff around but they're not really doing much aside from seating you and occasionally checking in. The biggest issue was how they handle the food. You're expected to grab raw skewers from a fridge, and while they do offer gloves, they're off to the side near the napkins so it's easy to miss them. I saw people grabbing things with bare hands and even putting them back. Honestly, that kind of turned my stomach. I get that they're a new place, but letting customers handle raw food like that doesn't feel safe or sanitary. At other skewer places I've been to in CA, you order what you want and they bring it to your table--way cleaner, way less stressful. I'd love to see them move to something like that. Also, it was weird being asked to leave a 5-star review in exchange for a discount on sauces and charcoal. I told the server I didn't feel right about doing that, and she was nice about it and still gave me the discount, which I appreciated. I added the savings to the tip, but looking back, I'm not sure what I was tipping so much for since it's mostly self-service--a 10% tip would've been more than fair. If they fix the food-handling process and make it more organized (similar to their Chubby Cattle KBBQ model where you order via screen and it's brought out) I'd consider coming back. Until then, I don't feel comfortable risking a food poisoning for the sake of "fun" to eat. read more

I highly recommend for people to go at more off hours! It's very hectic during their busier times especially because their concept is more self-service buffet style. Because they were so busy, my table also had to wait a while for our second charcoal box. Following that, I also recommend you go with a smaller group or just with one other person. You only get one small charcoal grill box per table vent, so you end up having to wait a while for people to grill their own skewers before you can get to yours. For the skewers, you go pick them up yourself at the fridge and condiments area. The area is rather small, so it can get crowded and chaotic as there isn't a clear line start and end section. Sometimes meats will fall off the skewer and onto the floor as customers are grabbing them, so there will be raw meats lying out on the floor. There are gloves available, but they're hard to see. They're located on the side wall of the condiments area. The skewer handles for the raw meats are greasy and can have raw juices on them, so gloves are a must. Spacing between tables is also rather tight, so you have to carefully weave your way through past other customers and employees carrying food and hot coal boxes. The raw meats do come salted and seasoned, but it's light. It was perfect for my partner and me, but my tablemates felt that the meat needed way more seasonings. The seasonings are an extra $6 charge that you cannot opt out of unless they're doing a promotion (like right now during their soft opening). So I would say to try their seasonings! The coal box is also normally an additional $3 charge, but it can be waived with their promotion. My partner and I liked most of the skewers we tried. The only miss was the lotus root one, which has a strange aftertaste. Each skewer is only $1.20, but they're teeny tiny, so it'll add up if you want to be full. We also got a side order of the spicy cucumber salad and celtuce salad. The cucumber salad was really good and balanced out well with the meats. The celtuce salad was too heavy handed with the sesame oil. Overall, my partner and I would return again at a less busy time. Star rating could be bumped up if they were able to add more organization and some kind of queue system for the skewer and condiments area. What makes this different and stand out from KBBQ is that you have more freedom in variety with what you choose to eat. You don't have to commit to an order of meat, and it's easier to eat with people who have different tastes. I love the concept, but restaurant layout could be improved. read more

This is genuinely some of the best barbecue I have had. The meats are flavorful, the portions are satisfying, and the jalapeño cheddar sausage has just the right amount of heat without overpowering everything else. It is the kind of food that sticks in your memory long after you leave. Honestly, if I lived close to the Power Road location, I would have a very difficult time staying away. Absolutely worth a visit.

When this visit first started, I was honestly very disappointed. There were several moments during the ordering process that negatively affected our experience. I was repeatedly interrupted while ordering, my request to use the same soup base in two sections of the four-part pot for my child was denied, and after choosing the All You Can Eat option, I was immediately warned about leftover penalties before we had even started ordering. Those interactions made me feel more like I was being monitored than welcomed, which was very different from the level of hospitality I expected from Haidilao. Instead of ignoring my concerns, the dining room manager, Evi, took the time to listen to everything I had to say. I explained my entire experience, including my disappointment from a previous visit when I ordered a Zootopia promotion but was never told about or given the promotional gift. Evi was patient, professional, and genuinely wanted to understand why I was unhappy. More importantly, the management acknowledged my feedback and told me they would review and improve these issues. They also generously comped our entire meal, which I appreciated--not because I wanted free food, but because it showed they took customer feedback seriously. After those initial issues, the rest of our meal was excellent. The food quality was great, and the service for the remainder of the visit was attentive, friendly, and exactly what I had hoped for when coming to Haidilao. Nobody gets everything right every time. What matters to me is how a business responds when something goes wrong. In this case, they listened instead of arguing, took responsibility instead of making excuses, and made a sincere effort to make things right. Because of that attitude, I'm happy to update my review to 5 stars. I truly hope the improvements we discussed become part of the experience for every future customer, because that's the Haidilao reputation people come here expecting.

My friends and I checked out this Chinese BBQ spot yesterday evening, and it was such a fun dining experience! It got pretty busy for a Sunday night, but we were luckily seated almost immediately (probably because we came at a slightly off time). From the moment we walked up, you could already smell the sizzling meat and delicious aromas from outside the restaurant. The concept of this restaurant takes inspiration from Korean barbecue, but with its own unique twist. There's a refrigerator in the corner stocked with a wide variety of meats, seafood, and vegetables. You simply grab what you want, load it onto a tray, bring it back to your table, and roast everything yourself over charcoal. There is about a $5 charcoal and management fee per table, which felt reasonable. Ordering drinks and additional entrees is also super convenient - you just scan the QR code at your table and order directly from your phone. We opted for the all-you-can-drink Pepsi, and the servers were incredibly attentive about making sure our glasses were always full. My favorite skewers were definitely the black pepper wagyu and the lean A5 beef. You can also add seasoning to whatever meat or skewers you choose, including but not limited to sesame, dry spice, chilli flakes, etc. I also really loved the zucchini and the bacon-wrapped enoki mushrooms, which were surprisingly addictive. We decided to order a few extra dishes as well, including the Wagyu fried rice, lychee shrimp balls, and the deconstructed s'mores for dessert. Every single item was delicious, and I would order them again. Pricing is straightforward: each skewer is $1.50, or $1 if you sign up for their $58 annual membership. At the end of the meal, they simply count how many skewers your table collected to determine the final bill. One small detail that really stood out to me was the hospitality. The host noticed we had purses and kindly brought over an extra chair so we wouldn't have to place them on the floor. Overall, this was a great dinner experience. Highly recommend if you're looking for a lively group dining spot! read more

We were super excited when we found out there's a Chubby restaurant here in Arizona! We've tried Chubby Cattle BBQ and The Xpot in Vegas and loved both, so we had high hopes. They open at 4:30 PM, and there was already a line when we showed up. Once we sat down, the server told us there's a $1.98 dry spice fee per person and a $3.99 charcoal fee. I couldn't help but think, Korean BBQ spots never charge you just to use the grill! And the spice fee? Felt like getting charged for soy sauce at a Chinese restaurant. Each metal skewer is $1.20 unless you join their membership, which drops it to $1. But heads up, some items come with two sticks, so you're charged for both. The meat portions? Super small. Like three tiny pieces, basically one bite. And don't expect fancy presentation, it's paper plates and disposable chopsticks. I joked that if they gave us real plates and utensils, they'd probably tack on another "mandatory" fee. It's all self-serve. You grab your food from the fridge, cook it yourself, and even get your own water. The fridge area gets crowded quick, and if you want to order something else, just scan a QR code, no one's coming by to take your order. The skewers were okay, not bad, just nothing special. But we did enjoy the spicy cold noodles and the pumpkin cake. Also, it gets pretty hot sitting next to the charcoal grill. And after doing everything yourself, they still ask for a tip at the end. It was definitely an experience, but once is enough for us. We probably won't be back. read more

I can't say enough good things about Skewervshop! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of mouthwatering aromas. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, walking us through the menu and making great recommendations. The skewers were next-level -- perfectly grilled, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. The chicken was tender, the beef had great flavor, and the veggie skewers were surprisingly addictive. I especially loved the signature sauce--whatever's in it, they need to bottle and sell it! We also tried a couple of sides and everything was fresh and made to order. Prices were super reasonable for the quality, and portions were generous without going overboard. If you're a fan of grilled street food or just looking to try something new and delicious, do yourself a favor and check out Skewervshop. I'll definitely be back!

Chubby Skewers is hands-down one of the best food spots I've discovered in Mesa. From the moment I walked in, the aroma of grilled meat and spices hit me in the best way possible. The skewers are packed with flavor--perfectly seasoned, juicy, and cooked to perfection. My favorites were the beef and chicken, but honestly, everything I tried was amazing. The portions are generous, and the prices are more than fair for the quality you get. I also loved the variety on the menu--it's not just skewers.

Ambiance- very cool Unique place where you pick your own food out of refrigerators and cook them at your table. You can also order extras like rice to be delivered. Food- wide selection but not much flavor. Service- We went when it was very crowded. But still waited 15 minutes to check out. You order online so you need to be sure to close out the app. I had to go get someone to get our waiter. Note- they charge you for seasonings (even if you don't use them) and the use of the cooktop. Together, they add up to about $5. I was told if I gave a glowing Google review they would knock that price off. The cost can be cheaper or very reasonable, but it adds up if you aren't mindful. Overall- We liked it and we will return. It's a fun place and family friendly. We saw a lot of generations there. read more

Chubby Skewers is a fun, do-it-yourself kind of place. You pick your skewers from the fridge, bring them to your table, and grill everything yourself. The selection is pretty good -- meats, seafood, veggies -- and they offer seasonings and sauces to customize things. Some items cooked up great, others not so much, but that's part of the experience. The vibe is laid-back and perfect for a group hangout, but don't expect much in the way of service since it's self-serve. It can get a little chaotic, especially if it's your first time. Overall, it's a cool spot to try once or twice, but not somewhere I'd rush back to regularly. Fun idea, just a bit inconsistent. read more

Chinese BBQ is one of my favorite foods because it combines rich flavors, smoky aromas, and a wide variety of ingredients. From juicy lamb skewers and grilled beef to crispy chicken wings and roasted vegetables, every bite is packed with seasoning and character. What makes Chinese BBQ special is the balance of spices, including cumin, chili powder, garlic, and sesame, which create a unique taste that is both savory and satisfying. Beyond the food itself, Chinese BBQ is also a social experience where friends and family gather together, share dishes, and enjoy great conversations. It is comfort food that brings people together. read more

Just tried Xing Fu Skewers and I'm seriously impressed! The skewers are flavorful, juicy, and grilled to perfection. You can really taste the spice and aroma in every bite -- reminds me of authentic street food from China. The menu has a great variety, from lamb and beef to seafood and veggies. The spicy dry pot and grilled wings were also amazing. The atmosphere is casual but clean, and the staff are super friendly and helpful with recommendations.

The bright light up signs around the restaurant and the bustle of people conversing made it feel like eating street food in the middle of the city. Word to the wise for anyone, read the grill cheat sheet for how to use the spices at the table to make your sauce. I'm coming back. I might even do the membership. Hot dang this was amazing. read more

Albert provided us with outstanding service from the moment we walked into the Chinese grill. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The food was absolutely delicious--every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. We especially loved the dumplings and spicy noodles. The restaurant had a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for both casual dining and special occasions. We truly appreciated Albert's kindness and professionalism. We'll definitely be coming back soon! read more

I've been waiting for a proper Shao Kao restaurant in Arizona for the longest time. My only fix was traveling to California for the weekend and going to a Chinese BBQ place there. Now, I can finally eat to my heart's content, in Arizona. The meat is grilled over charcoal, which gives the meat an incredibly deep flavor, and they have a variety of kitchen menu items as well. If you're looking for a place that offers delicious protein for a reasonable price, come check out Chubby Skewers. I will be a regular here from now on. read more

Sure! Here's a sample five-star rating and review for skewers (you can adapt this for a product, recipe, or restaurant): --- Rating: Review: "These skewers were absolutely perfect! The meat was juicy and well-marinated, and the vegetables were grilled to perfection with a slight char that added amazing flavor. Each skewer had a great balance of ingredients, and the seasoning brought everything together. Whether as a main dish or a party appetizer, these skewers are a definite crowd-pleaser. Highly recommended!" read more
