This place is a MUST try!! Prepare to have a wait time, especially later into the night, and I had a bigger group so we waited around an hour. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The chairs and tables are super low but it is definitely a vibe reminding me of sitting for street food in asia.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All skewers are only $1 and there's so many different variety, from wagyu meat, chicken feet, purple yam, and many other options. They have other options beyond the skewers as well if you want stuff besides just skewers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I like this concept and it is a good restaurant to chat with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is definitely more affordable than Chubby Cattle and I like that you can eat according to how hungry you are! Parking: Located in a pretty decent sized plaza, but does get busy during peak hours
First time trying Chubby Skewers in Rowland Heights. Overall, it was an okay experience. The food was decent and the concept was fun, but [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant was pretty hot inside[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the seats were very uncomfortable--especially since the tables and seating are quite low.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm glad I tried it once, but unfortunately, the overall dining experience wasn't enough to make me want to come back. Hopefully they can improve the ventilation/temperature and seating comfort in the future.
I liked the concept of this place but it's definitely lacking in a few areas that could use improvements. - [[HIGHLIGHT]]Better air conditioning. It was way too hot inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] - Dipping sauce. I didn't mind the dry powder stuff but could have used some sesame or soy sauce for dipping - [[HIGHLIGHT]]higher tables. We sat on the low tables and I couldn't get close enough to the table to eat properly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lots of meat options though, which is the main saving grace
Delicious as usual! Got to try the oysters on this visit and man they were delicious. Staff is always friendly and nice! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lively atmosphere for dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Remember to get cucumbers to help with all that protein
[[HIGHLIGHT]]I rly liked the vibe of the restaurant, feels super authentic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Only note is that it is super hot inside, so be prepared.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I would have loved it if the AC was higher because the stove was also rly hot so everyone is basically sweating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But food wise, everything was rly yummy, the skewers are on the smaller side but for $1 per skewer (with the membership) it is very worth it in my opinion. Service was rly great as well!
[[HIGHLIGHT]]It is very hot inside this restaurant. Ventilation is not great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I understand that it's a grilling restaurant so there is a lot of heat generated. But I wish something could be done about the heat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The seating was kind of weird and uncomfortable. You sit very low to the ground.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Basically the chairs are low to the ground which makes sitting to eat slightly uncomfortable. Did not expect that. Food is good though. Plenty of Wagyu skewers to choose from. Also a great assortment of non-beef choices too. I like this place but the heat and low seat is not good.
This Chubby location is like Northern China style skewers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I would give 4 stars if the AC worked. It was really hot inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I understand that there were a lot of stoves and customers. However every single person as sweating really badly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was ok. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was low chairs Chinese style skewers. If you like that, you would like that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]
Another Chubby Brand location that's worth visiting in my opinion. The wait times can be quite lengthy so just be prepared. Parking is also very difficult in this complex. However, there is an another parking area behind the business that had many spots. The set up at Chubby Skewers is meant to mimic street food style grilling of your own skewers and to your liking. The self serve area has numerous choices of beef, pork, chicken, vegetables and many more. The seats are very very low just as an FYI and grills can get very hot so be careful during dining. The location is always busy and they are open late til the early morning. Skewers are all $1.20 per! Kitchen items can be ordered via QR code on your phone. It's a unique dining experience. Between us, we did some work with the amount of skewers we ate. The cucumber with house dipping was a great palate cleaner. Staff checks in periodically and does a count on skewers midway during your time. My favorite were all the beef Wagyu and the lamb. Make sure to use the dry seasonings to elevate all the flavors. Chubby Skewers was a good time! ( ^_^)b
My now second favorite restaurant by Chubby Club, Chubby Skewers is a, as the name implies, primarily skewers type of place. It gives off chill vibes eating skewers from a street vendor to me, and the quality of meat is amazing. Like all of their locations, an appealing factor is the wagyu used as meat, and it does not disappoint! There is a massive wait if you go during peak hours, so expect an hour long wait if you go right when it opens up until their late night hours start, but maybe during the week you'll have some grace with entering. I really do love their options for skewers, and with everything priced at $1.50 or $1 if you're a member, it is very much worth it. There's a variety of seafood options as well as meats, with my favorite being the black pepper wagyu skewers. It also cooks the quickest in my opinion which is nice. I'm a big value person, so the rest isn't as worth it, but honestly, eat to your heart's content here. In the end, it's pretty easy to get your moneys worth anyway given the overall experience of cooking with people you enjoy spending time with.
We drove almost an hour to try this place. The first mistake we made was not joining the Yelp waitlist before arriving. I didn't realize there was one available. If we had, we probably would have been seated right away instead of waiting another 1.5 hours after arriving at 9:00 p.m. It was too late to go somewhere else since many restaurants were already closing, so we decided to stay. There was a no-smoking sign outside, but some people still smoked while waiting, so we had to stand elsewhere until our table was ready. The atmosphere just wasn't for me. Once we were seated, I could barely fit in my seat because the tables were packed so closely together and the person behind me took up most of the space. I almost had to sit sideways just to have enough legroom. The floor under our table was also very dirty, with grease and food scraps everywhere. It looked like the area hadn't been cleaned before the next party was seated. The music was extremely loud to the point where everything was vibrating. I had to practically yell just for my partner to hear me. Between the cramped seating, the dirty floor, and the overwhelming noise, I couldn't relax or enjoy the meal. Everything felt greasy so I kept my gloves on the entire time. I felt bad for bringing my partner here and was almost embarrassed to ask if she had enjoyed the experience. $1.20 per skewer seems pretty reasonable to me but not every skewer is worth $1.20. I mainly only grabbed meat but the cost added up very fast. We weren't planning to eat much since it was already late, but the portions were small and I ended up grabbing more than expected because I was still hungry. We ordered oysters too but they were not that great. The only skewer I regretted getting was the chicken wing. They weren't prep'ed very well and took forever to cook due to how thick they were. Very easy to burn them when the inside was still raw. I counted the skewers twice before the waitress did and I didn't get overcharged. I like skewers, but this restaurant was simply too loud, too cramped, and too greasy for my taste. Personally, I wouldn't return.
The first moment you walk in. I thought the service was a bit AWKWARD. I am not sure how to explain it but, it's like they're there but, not there? Anyways, let's go check out the FOOD, I thought to myself... SKEWERS: 10/10 for the Veggies, the fish cake and fish balls... WAGYU: 8/10 Not bad. Just becareful because it cooks really fast!! ALL THE SKEWERS were pretty small. $1.20 each... The tables were VERY LOW! LOW RIDERS!!! I wish we could have some chili oil, ponzu sauce or something liquid. But, I understand that for safety reasons we need to keep it DRY... It's a fun experience to try ONCE!!!! I rather go to the Chubby Cattle or other Chubby groups... CAUTION: There's an automatic gratuity!!!! Not a BAD IDEA CHUBBY SKEWERS!!!!
Chubby Skewers was a unique experience! My husband and I have been wanting to try this one out since it opened. We arrived on a Saturday evening without having a prior reservation. We got there around 8pm and got sat around 9:10pm. There was a wait outside the door already and the plaza was packed. There is parking behind the restaurant. I suggest looking for one there if you can because you could leave through the back. While the wait was longer than we expected and became restless, when we finally sat down and ate, we agreed it was worth it. The tables and seats are at a lower level. It was fine for me because I'm between 5'2 and 5'3, but if you're taller, it may be uncomfortable. If you have a group larger than two, it will be tight. The waiter will explain what areas of the table to be mindful of when you're cooking because they stay hot when the burner is on. There are instructions on the cook time for each protein, veggies, and fruit. All skewers were in the self-serve area. There was also a QR code to order items from the kitchen. Each skewer was priced at $1. There was a promotion for signing up for the Chubby plus membership. I don't remember if it was the first 30 skewers are free or discounted. Please check with the staff. I only have the Chubby Club One membership that applies to Chubby Cattle in Rowland Heights. I learned later that you could still earn points no matter what tier/membership you have. They had a wide array of skewers! We got all their Wagyu options, lamb, okra and veggie kabobs in every round. We also tried their chicken skin, abalone, pineapple, and ordered the cucumber salad from their kitchen. There was self-serve water there too. They had two large dispensers of ice water and one cucumber-infused. After the first round, I found it was easiest to cook all the meats at the same time because they require the same amount before turning over. The Wagyu can burn easily, so keep a close eye on those. Also, the oil will splash a little. You won't be able to sit that far back without bumping into the other party. Again, this was a unique and memorable experience!Similar to having street food in Asia I've heard. So if you're looking for that type of vibe, I would recommend to try this at least once.
I want to say 3-4 Stars. Food: not very many veggie options. Plenty of meet options from beef, pork, chicken heart, duck tongue, etc. You have to cook/grill on your own. There are seasonings on the side that you can use. You do have to pay for the seasonings, and that they dont tell you before hand its charged automatically and the wsit staff will briefly tell you when you pay. They have a QR Code menu that you can scan for other cooked dishes, cold side dishes, and alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages. The staff are pretty good in terms of bringing you the ordered food timely and also picking up dishes that you are done with. My only concern in this restaurant is the infection control aspect of the seasonings (the different seasonings are placed in a stainless steel like shaker container, located on your table). My family and I went there today.I observed a table across from us that opened the container of seasoning and stuck their used chopsticks inside the seasonings, so that the seasoning can come out faster. I totaly lost my appetite. I'm pretty sure that the seasoning containers are not cleaned out nightly, nor refilled with new seasoning nightly. Ambiance/service All good vibes. The wait staff are super nice, helpful, and quick. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My other riff are the tables and seats. They are set so low its uncomfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would go back. But i will nit season my meal with the seasonings on the table. Even if im paying for them. Cheers!

Hi Thj. Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled Tan's…
Came here on a Monday night around 10 PM and was pleasantly surprised by how busy it still was. We ended up waiting about 20 minutes for a table. There isn't much room to wait inside the restaurant, so most people were standing outside. We chose to wait in our car until we received the text that our table was ready, which made the wait a lot more comfortable. Once seated, the experience was straightforward and fun. The skewers are self-serve, so we grabbed what we wanted and started cooking right away. There's also a QR code at each table that allows you to order additional dishes. The only extra item we ended up ordering was dessert, and I'm glad we did. Their s'mores dessert was excellent and really fun to cook over the grill ourselves. We tried a little bit of everything. The squid and shrimp were standouts for me, although we definitely found ourselves reaching for the Wagyu skewers the most throughout the meal. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Service isn't necessarily very attentive, and you'll usually need to flag down a nearby server if you need something. Also, any food ordered through the QR code can take a while to arrive. Fortunately, since most of the meal is self-serve, it wasn't a huge issue for us. The food is really good, the prices are pretty reasonable, and the overall dining experience is a lot of fun. One thing to note is that they play EDM music throughout the restaurant at a pretty high volume. If you're into that type of music like we are, it definitely adds to the atmosphere. Overall, we had a great time and definitely plan on coming back. read more

Hi Milko, thank you for spending your Monday night with us. We are…
Had a great dining experience at Chubby Skewers. They open late till 3 am. This spot is very popular, hence, the long wait. Suggest you either come early or later in the evening. The place is pretty cool. Feels like you are at those night market street foods where you sit low to the ground. Once you get your table, just head on over to the skewers and get the different skewers they have there. All sorts of meat cut, seafood, and veggies. Bring them back to your table and start cooking. Cooking was quite fun actually. You know your foods are fresh. Service was pretty good. They clear your table very often. All skewers are $1.20 per skewer. At the end of your meal, they count the number of skewers you had, multiply by $1.20. Very simple process. We had fun dinning here. Would definitely be coming back here for sure! read more

There's usually a long line here, and we waited close to an hour before getting a seat on a Saturday night. You come here for the skewers and not the ambiance because it can be cramped and smoky. All of the skewers are available to pick up at a common area, along with all of the spices (though the spice game could be a little better). I like there are a lot of different skewer options, but make sure to choose carefully as a lot of the skewers are oily with fat and once you pick a skewer you cannot put it back. My favorites are definitely the basic options with brisket (lean and fattier options), short ribs, and lamb, but the tripe and tendon is very tasty too. Overall not a bad spot for skewers, but I do think there are some better ones around the area. read more

Great late night spot to go with friends as they open till 4am. However, sometimes they do close early if it slow, so make sure to check. Their skewers are a little less meaty than I would like and you need to know how to make your own seasoning. read more

I love coming here. I love the selection of meats you can get and even without a membership 1.10 per stick cant be beat. Its a little loud and hot but that's to be expected in a place like this. Definitely gets popular and might have a wait so be ready for that if you don't come early. Love the service. Everytime I order something like a rice or drink it comes out fast. read more

Hi Timothy, thank you for the great review! We’re glad you enjoyed…
Had an amazing time for a friends birthday! An awesome self-serve skewer experience with everything from a variety of beef cuts, pork, lamb, veggies, & seafood. You can also order from their menu as well for other Chinese favorites like Cucumber Salad, alcohol, noodles. I would recommend getting the Chubby Group Subscription, since it does bring down the skewer price from $1.20 to $1 per (our bill discount = the membership) Their system although counting generic metal skewers does know which meat cut you get! Plaza = not a fun parking experience Ambiance = Reminds me of food stalls in Asia Wait Times = 60-90 Minutes on weekends. read more

Hi Truc, thank you for celebrating a birthday with us and for sharing…
Came here with a group for a birthday. First time I've been disappointed by a Chubby Group spot. The place seems different and fun at first, but it gets chaotic fast. The meat selection isn't great, and after a while everything starts tasting the same--you lose track of what you're even eating. With their membership it is not expensive, but honestly it feels like a lot of work for not much payoff. Wait was long, and the back room was really hot. Seating is low, street food style, which sounds cool but isn't comfortable if you're there for a full dinner. Service was good. Staff was helpful and kept clearing plates quickly, which I appreciated given how busy it was. There were a couple good bites in there somewhere... couldn't tell you which ones though. IMO, I rather go visit their other locations for BBQ, this place seems to cater to a younger crowd looking for a few bites of yakitori. read more

Skewers were really good and definitely a fun time with friends. I would say the price is fair for grilled meats. It gets a bit smokey and warm in there because of all the grills! read more

Hi Ethan, thank you for the review. We are glad you had a fun time…
I was recommended Chubby Skewers from my server at Chubby Cattle a few weeks ago. I decided to try it out with my family when they visited. The skewers are all $1.10 and the skewers are more on the smaller side. However the flavoring was great especially with all the seasonings they provide you. The overall quality of the meat was good and they have a good variety of appetizers. The pear soda was amazing, however very price, at $10. Service was okay, I feel like the service could've been smoother, when giving the check. We waited a while, but we were not in a rush. The inside was on the smaller side but there was plenty of room for you to get your skewers, waters, and walk around. read more

So good I've already been back twice! [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place gives authentic China vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Love the vibe and the food is good too and affordable. The best part is that they are open until 3am every day. Good place to drink/chill with friends :) for the order menu I've tried the cucumber salad and the cold noodles, both of them were so good! read more

Hi Christina. Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled…
Parking is difficult Skewers are $1.1 each and the portions are tiny tiny tiny. Like probably 15cents worth of beef (2 small pieces) per 'skewer'. 1 chicken wing is 2 skewers worth. So stingy with the portions. The grill itself is tiny and takes too long to cook the meat. They also charge like $3 seasoning fee (?). The tables are so low I bumped my legs/ knees so many times. Uncomfortable. I spent like $30 and left still starving. Much better off going to AYCE kbbq. read more

What a great experience! I've only ate at another skewer place so I enjoyed how this place was set up to really be immersed in the experience. Having it be $1.50/skewer is so dangerous with a hungry group like mine! Thankfully, halfway through we had a server keep track of the skewer counts for us. There's a good selection of meats and vegetables, but you definitely need to keep a watch on the sticks so they don't overcook/burn. My group decided to stick some raw garlic onto empty skewers and that changed the trajectory of our whole meal! Definitely will plan to come back! It gets busy so put your names down early. read more

Hi Evalyn,…
This place was so hyped, but I don't think it fully lived up to it!! Definitely worth trying once for the experience, but I wouldn't go back. The meat selection was pretty limited. I did enjoy the grill-it-yourself setup, that part was fun! But... you have to pay extra for sauces + seasonings I think?, which didn't sit right with me lol. The vibe is very street food style.. cute, but you're sitting on low stools, so not the most comfy. Service was also a bit slow, & there were some communication issues... Overall: fun experience, but not somewhere I'd return to!! Maybe the other chubby places like chubby cattle! read more

Hi Jiliza, thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad you…
Love the food here. Get a skewer, cook it yourself, and enjoy. There's a decent variety of cuts and meats. The ambiance is interesting, it's like those roadside skewer tents in China where you sit on a low stool while cooking over a fire. It's definitely a vibe at Chubby Skewers. It's a bit loud but def still a nice spot to hangout with friends. Only thing I don't like is that once you go into the restaurant, you come out smelling like heavy BBQ. Ventilation doesn't seem to be the best here. read more

Hi Liz,…
Chubby Skewers is worth checking out, but come during the weekdays Mon- Thurs when the wait isn't as long. If you come on the weekend, get ready to wait an hour or 2 to get seated. We went on a Thursday night and we got seated right away. Upon entering, I noticed how warm it was inside. I wish it was cooler especially with the cooking that's involved. It would be nicer for colder AC. The kabobs being $1.20 is a pretty good deal but it stacks up fast. You definitely get the most bang for your buck if it was mainly wagyu beef. My favorite was the black pepper one. There are some seafood that will come with two skewers for a more expensive price. We got shrimp and although it had a good flavor, $2.40 just for one small piece of shrimp is pricey. On the good note, the dry seasonings complement the meats pretty well and was pretty addicting. I think it is still worth experience to check out. It was pretty cool having to cook the meat yourself. Just don't come entirely hungry cause it takes some time to cook the meats! read more

Ask the Community - Chubby Skewers
What does it mean that Club Plus members get free sauces and charcoal? If you are not a Plus member, do they have a different price for using the charcoal for cooking?
If I go for a weekday dinner. How long would the wait normally be around 6-7PM?
Is it a long line on a Sunday?
Check Google Maps listing for wait times. Always better to go at opening time for first seating or late at night.
Does this restaurant do takeout? I have Chubby membership and would like to redeem my birthday reward for takeout. Thank you.
I don't believe you can takeout on uncooked meat unless it is cooked from my understanding. Since you have to cook it yourself then you minus we'll eat it there.
Is this restaurant dog friendly?
I don't think any pets or service animals are permitted inside. Check with the business to see what their policy is. I hope this helps. Eat Smaller, but eat Better. 😎
Are the veggie/meat skewers pre seasoned with salt or seasonings?
No. You DIY it with your seasonings at your table.
How long is waiting for a Saturday night?
I would say around 90 minutes to 120 minutes
Is it still $1 per skewer?
It's $1.10 per skewer, but if you have membership it is still $1.00.
Do you take reservations? I have been trying to call for 4 days. It just go straight to voicemail.?
No. You have to line up.
How much a bottle of beer and a pitcher?
Sorry, I don't know. I don 't drink alcohol.
Do you have a table large enough to seat a party of 8 and have 2 grills?
Yes, it's 2 tables of 4 together.
Will you be open for Christmas 2024? If you are, what are your hours or operations? Thank you
Hello! We’re open on Christmas Day with our regular hours: 5:00 PM to 3:00 AM.
Hrmmm is this place open? because every time i check it tells me that it will reopen soon and i checked like last week and it said that it would reopen today and i check today and it says its reopening oct 2?
It reopened about 2 weeks ago
When are you guys going to open again?
Hello, Please follow our social media pages for up to date information regarding our re-opening. Thank you!
I've been trying to go to your place so many times (3 weekends I believe), but it always close. When will you reopen? I have $$$ value with your membership program. Can I use that $$$ to other chubby's family?
