Chubby Bowls is the real deal. Everything comes out fresh, the portions are generous, and it tastes like someone actually cares about what's going in the bowl. I've been back more times than I'd like to admit. What really makes the place, though, is Ethan. He's genuinely one of the nicest guys you'll meet -- remembers regulars, takes the time to talk to people, and clearly puts a lot of pride into the food. That kind of hospitality is rare and it makes the whole experience better. read more

The food was great and a pretty good portion for the price! The staff were also very nice and friendly :D

This is my fourth time so what keeps me wanting to come back is the food plus it's affordable

Saw on social media, walked by it a few times, with great yelp reviews so went to try Chubby Bowls. We weren't as satisfied, even with the $4 discount per person they gave us (they had samples of their 2 new dishes outside and got the discount after getting a taste). We got chubby bowls (1 dish, 1 base) and chubby duo bowls (2 dishes, 1 base). Some dishes and bases cost an addtl. charge. The food reminded me of mall Chinese food though. Chow mein and Eggplant dish were oily. I think the Wagyu with the eggplant were the specks. Cumin Wagyu, Sweet and Sour chicken, wagyu and broccoli were ok. Side chick pieces were tiny. Self-serve for fountain drinks. Good packaging - dish was separate from the base. A lot of seating, more in the back. Restroom available. read more

Delivery order. Missing sauces but it happens. And considering modern food delivery app processes, the packing is on the restaurant so that's a mark on their service. I calibrate accordingly with an understanding of how it would impact food quality. And the food isn't a problem. Flavors are good, and quality of ingredients and execution seem solid. Wagyu seems unnecessary as there's not much space for the subtlety to come thru but I suppose you get overall richness. Standouts are the wings (well seasoned and slightly spicy) and the mapo tofu (well spiced and appropriately greasy. Complaint here is value. The portions are comically small. If the dishes were cheaper there's a good argument for being able to put together a nice varied spread but it's not possible to do solo and at reasonable prices. Unless the in person experience is truly that different (larger portions in person, higher prices for delivery, etc). The value issue is a consistent theme for me with the Chubby group so I'll calibrate expectations accordingly in the future. read more

Chubby Bowls - Asian Fusion Near Me - New York, New York

First time trying this place out and got the Chubby Trio Bowl for takeout. I chose Thai Basil Wagyu, Wagyu Eggplant, Wagyu Mapo Tofu, and Quinoa Rice. The flavors are great, taste fresh, and easy to mix with rice. However, the eggplant and mapo tofu sauce was quite oily. At first, I thought my rice was missing but there is another layered part of the bowl under the proteins. They have a cool pick-up system like an Amazon locker where you input your name and the door pops open. The food is in an insulated bag so that's a nice touch as well. Plenty of seatings and very spacious looking forward to my next visit! read more

Chubby Bowls - Chubby Trio Bowl (Wagyu Eggplant Stir-Fry, Wagyu Mapo Tofu, Thai Basil Wagyu, quinoa rice) - Asian Fusion Near Me - New York, New York

Walking past by Chubby Bowls a week ago and decided to give a try. Great concept for Asian quick food. Kiosk order or by the counter and got the food within 5mins. I signed up the member (free) to accumulate points. They also have a paid-membership for discount price of bowls and other food ($4/month?) Nice decor and spacious inside. Many booths and tables. Staff were friendly and efficient. Drink is self serve. You can get any drink and refills. I got a combo with veggie fried rice, premium waygu beef cube, mapo tufu and a drink. Rice is a little hard, prob need to be cooked longer. Beef cubes are great. Good seasoning and cooked nicely (pink in center). Mapo tufu definitely has a kick. It's great to mix it with rice. Unsweetened ice tea is good for the occasion. Overall a solid spot for quick and comfort meal. No drama self service place. read more

The food is amazing here and ambiance is really nice here as well definitely recommend to come as a date or with friends,service is so good here too!! My only complain is the portion sizes,you pay about 15$ for a chubby bowl and they give more rice than then protein or side dishes..i ordered the vegetable fried rice and the portion was small which was a bummer bc it was good but i rather go panda express for x3 portion for what we paid for but food is great tho just the portions are so small read more

I stopped by today to take advantage of the Knicks Win promo. Buy one get one free bowls. (No drinks). I was told they opened a few wks ago and still in soft opening mode and need some time to perfect everything so maybe July for official opening You order by kiosks. I already signed up for the chubby club via app So this is like a high end Panda Express. You choose one base. I got veggie fried rice for one bowl. veggie lo mein for another. Then you pick 2 proteins (some cost 50c to $1.50 more). All have Wagyu. I went with the eggplant Wagyu, Cumin Wagyu, Thai Wagyu, mapo tofu Wagyu. Everything is fresh to order so it took a few min. The takeout orders are packed well. Also the bowl container is unique where the 2 proteins are on top in a separate 2 side plate which fits on top of the bowl where the base is on bottom. Thus no sauces are mixed which is clean. I didn't get a drink but large self service area of Chinese sugar drinks. Large clean space in dining room. Well staffed. Food is good. Maybe too rich in sauciness and salty. I liked the cumin Wagyu the most. The bases lo mein and veggie fried rice were actually very good bc they were fresh to order. Pricing is a bit expensive at $14.95 minimum pre tax and tip for a bowl. But it is Wagyu. Note the meat is OK to good quality but don't expect prime aged ribeye here. Gd luck! read more

I was walking by here on the way to dinner and saw that they had $1 deals for their egg tarts and just had to swing by. The interior of the restaurant is spacious with lots of seating, and it's very lively. We ordered at the kiosks that they had there and also saw that there was a $1 milk tea deal. Of course, we also got that haha. Their egg tarts were actually really good and flaky (I mean, for $1, it's hard to beat). Meanwhile, their milk tea was from a dispenser and was just okay. I'll have to come back for their bowls, which also looked really good (and were under $10!). read more

Initially I was mapping to a cafe to get a quick bite on a Friday afternoon, but then on the crosswalk across the street I saw a storefront that looked familiar. "Is that a (fka) Chubby Cattle restaurant?" I asked myself. Indeed. Indeed it is yet another Chubby Group project. I walked into the very aesthetic restaurant and went to the self serve screen. The bowls reminds me of like a more quality Panda Express. I created a combo myself -- got chow mein and cumin wagyu and a Pepsi (though I wish it was Coca Cola). I'm also dumb and didn't read the screen very well and added only 1 out of 2 items in the base and protein category so make sure you add 2 items in those categories when ordering!!! The chow mein was good, I wasn't expecting the noodles to be skinny, in the picture when ordering, they're thicker noodles. It was a nice surprise though because I prefer skinnier noodles with chow mein. The cumin wagyu was tasty and had a very little amount of spice. It is also a bit greasy because I mean, it IS wagyu and wagyu is pretty fatty, so if you don't like greasiness, maybe skip this one. Other than the expected greasiness, you can really taste the quality in the meat. It lowkey looks like low quality beef teriyaki you'd get for like $10 at a quick stop Japanese restaurant, but it does not taste like that at all. 10/10 would recommend, Chubby Group always got the best restaurants. Bonus: their to-go bags are high quality, reusable, and nice af! read more

Tried Chubby Bowl near Union Square today, and it was a fantastic experience! We ordered two Duo Bowls. One was packed with Mapo Tofu, Black Pepper Wagyu Cubes, and Wagyu Fried Rice, while the other had Chubby Chicken, Thai Basil Wagyu, and healthy rice. The portions are very generous, and the food tasted great overall. Plus, the indoor seating area is surprisingly spacious and comfortable with plenty of room. Highly recommend! read more

I was around Union Square and decided to tried Chubby Bowls. I love the decor and love the anime-themed vibe. I tried the veggie fried rice with salt & pepper shrimp, chow mein with chubby chicken, and the wings. The chubby chicken was my favorite, the tangerine sauce gave it some sweetness. The chow mein was good, the shrimp was cooked well and the wings were crispy. I also had their refreshing drink selection, it was not too sweet which was good. It a big spot and has a lot of seating. I think people should stop by and try this spot when they are around the area. read more

I'm impressed by this new concept of a chubby group! I was surprised by how affordable the prices are, considering the high-quality ingredients.

2 stars for good customer service. To highlight the pictures on UberEats are very misleading. On UberEats Wagyu Fried Rice is basically the same size as the Duo bowl. In reality more like half the size if that. This review is for the Wagyu Fried Rice I had. Original price ​$9 for overall portion the size of my hand which is still okay if the ingredients are top notch. The moment I opened the lid I thought the little black dots were grinder pepper. No, that was the wagyu. For the tiny piece of it I could taste it was tough to chew on and basically on par with average fatty beef you can find in any supermarket. The fried rice was soggy from oil and texture is definitely not as good as your typical fried rice made with leftover rice from day before. Value wise this should be more of a $3 order maybe $4 if pushing it for the "wagyu" experience. read more

Chubby Bowls - "Invisible Wagyu" Fried Rice - Asian Fusion Near Me - New York, New York

Awesome customer service. Chubby chicken & wagyu/broccoli veggie rice/ lomein was great. Definitely coming back

Chubby Bowls makes fresh flavorful Asian food with no additives. The stir fries taste healthy and the vegetable lomein is not greasy. Takeout orders are stored in locked cubicles on the left wall upon entry. To release the cubicle with your food, enter in the first four letters of your first name, or if your first name is only three letters, then also add your last name initial e.g. FayK. The food is packed in a well sealed quality tote bag lined with insulation to keep your food warm. There are plenty of tables to eat in, the space is flamboyantly yet tastefully decorated in red and looks very clean. Counter service is friendly but I discovered them to be careless. When I returned to my office with my order, I found that I was missing two Wagyu fried rice portions that came with my order. I was able to get a refund for the missing items from Door Dash. I would advise you to check your order when picking up. read more

Friday May 15, 2026 afternoon. Not sure of the ordering process and saw 3 kiosks so proceeded to order from there. I ordered: Cumin Wagyu Thai Beef dish Wagyu fried rice Drink Everything had amazing texture and flavor but, had a lot of oil. My order didn't take long. The place is well kept. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I would come back again and bring some other people. They are in their soft opening stage. read more

I walked by and saw Chubby Bowls were finally open! They're in their soft opening phase so still ironing kinks out. I ordered two of their DIY combos. I highly recommend the wagyu fried rice, string beans, fried mushrooms, and the jasmine milk tea. Everything was well seasoned and not too salty. The combo came out to be around $25. For the amount of food I got, I was pleasantly full. For the drinks, you serve yourself and I love that you can also get refills. The space is huge with plenty of seating. The chairs were comfy and tables were the right height. The service is also amazing and everyone was smiling. I would come back and try their other entrees! read more

I have seen this spot multiple times and decided to try it out. The area was clean and the staff was nice. It also didn't take long for my food to come out. I was hungry, so I tried the Chubby Duo bowl, with Kung Pao Chicken, Cumin Beef (for a $1.50 upcharge), and white rice as the base. I also got a fountain drink, which was self serve here. The portions were good, and I felt quite full after finishing. The Cumin Beef was spicy, but delicious, and I enjoyed it a lot. The Kung Pao Chicken had a bit of spice and also tasted good, but my only complaint was that it felt a bit cold, as if it were sitting around for a while, especially compared to the hot Cumin Beef. Overall, I enjoyed my meal, although I may pass on the Kung Pao Chicken next time. read more

I've stopped by here twice in the past week. I think they are running a special/sale, they have banners in the window. But they have an egg custard in flaky crust and some kind of milky tea that is cold on special pricing. I don't want to quote the prices, as I think it is a seasonal special. But, gotta say I'm just blown away at these prices. Employees were very cool and friendly both times, service fast -- such a cool find of a restaurant. Seating and interior have a great vibe. The ordering kiosk asked for my phone number, which was off putting, but an employee said it didn't matter, I could put any number. 555-1212, LOL read more

I was not a fan of the noodles, but the Black Pepper Wagyu entrée was excellent and bursting with flavor. The seating is generous and the music is positive pop music. This was my first visit, and I was greeted by two workers at the front register who carried on their conversation as I pondered the choices available. Eventually the guy offered to help with suggestions, but I'd decided by then. There was no one waiting, so it was nice to have leisure to order. Drinks are bottles or self-serve "fountain" drinks. The latter were sweet and unsweetened tea, and 3 refreshers (lemon, peach, and passion fruit). No carbonation on the fountain drinks. Beware (in a good way): the one entrée plus base was a ton of food, not visually, but I left overstuffed! Wow! I couldn't leave that marvelous beef with peppers behind. read more

I discovered the place via TikTok, they've only been open for three months. I enjoy the food and most importantly the actual space. It's really big have a lot of seating space and what I love the most is that they had the TV with the World Cup game playing so it was absolutely lit for me. I order chubby chicken with vegetable fried rice and my brother got Wagyu&broccoli with chow mein. The food was really good; the chicken was crunchy yet soft and tender inside. Also, the wagyu taste really yummy. However, the only thing I didn't love was the vegetable rice. The veggies on the rice felt a bit raw and the overall flavor had a weird charcoal after taste. I will be going back though. Last but not least the service was very pleasant I hope they dont change. read more
