Order during the day/not night (ask suggested by owner) Ghetto/Hood atmosphere. Best for take-out. Fire Hibachi and Chubby Burgers are in the same restaurant space, 2 businesses shared kitchen and staff. Overall with experience, I'd say 2 star. But I want to be lenient for a new company transitioning/finding own footing. Food is fresh, and not bad for the $9.99 deal, and made to order though. I'm hoping timing of wait for a pre-order is not 1.5hrs! Approach with caution.
TIP: Go during the day for any ordering as owner suggested. If you come around 920pmish = 1.5hr wait for pre-ordered Too Good To Go customers, or maybe 20-30min for full-priced paying customers.
- Store front sign in red light says "produce" (Fire Hibachi St114) and "MARKET" (Chubby Burgers St115).
- Walk through Fire Hibachi Door (Chubby door was used for ac/fan vent). The restaurant was pretty warm at 10pm (early in the day at 108F) but wasn't unbearable for a local. No restroom.
- Atmosphere: Hood/Ghetto.
We really want to support local, newly started businesses like Fire Hibachi. Owner also works for Chubby Burgers in order to get his own business (Fire Hibachi) going. There is a huge inefficiency but it could be due to starting a new co transition. I am giving ALOT of slack in support of a new business. Any other company, I would be a NO THANK YOU if I had to wait 1.5hrs or even 40min. Good luck to the new owner of Fire Hibachi, who is also a staff trying to keep Chubby Burgers afloat the same shift.
Fire Hibachi and Chubby Burgers
- 0 Stars: Wait/Communication of estimated timing - Super negative. WILL NOT WAIT LONGER THAN 15min for this food, pre-ordered or not. Competition (lots of other foods around in local Vegas). Laos Thai Street Food is in the same plaza (one our fav closets Thai food in all of local Vegas)! No matter how nice the owner/staff was, 1.5hr is UNREASONABLE.
- 4 Stars: $9.99 Fire Hibachi (chicken, veggies, rice) was good for $9.99 Too Good To Go app (deals app). Real chicken chunks that isn't dry. But I probably wouldn't pay more than $15 normally this. Tourist price could be $18-$20? Food is fresh, made to order.
- 3 Stars: $6.99 Fresh, made to order burger. Comes with fries and a hot dog. Wasn't bad but not a deal for us since that isn't something we crave or eat.
Too Good To Go: 9pm-10pm slot time order on a Thursday Night
Only 1 staff (staff to Chubby Burgers/owner of Fire Hibachi) who was overwhelmed by the amt of orders from Too Good To Go. Makes it fresh, not leftovers; one order made at a time.
- Got there around 923pm. Said it would take around 30mish. Went to Vons nearby to shop (closes at 10pm).
- At 1026pm, staff was able to talk to us about our order. It would take 10min to make ours.
- 10:55 received food. Staff was nice enough to make the order diary-free/sauces on the side. Usually food is with dairy.
Will we try again? Maybe during the day but we're a bit hesitant. We do want to support local dreams. read more
