I was so excited to try chubby dumplings. I walked in and zeroed in on the combo option and was disappointed that they were not available yet. Undeterred, I ordered the Chicken & Mushrooms spicy Szechuan and the Wagyu Steak ramen. Everything tasted great. The chicken and mushrooms had a great spice. The noodles had a great chew and the broth was incredibly flavorful. However soon after I finished I was feeling off, my stomach began to hurt but I went on with my evening. Before long I felt horrible everything hurt and when I got home I won't go into graphic detail but I was sick from both sides. Today I have only managed to keep down saltines and gingerale.

"dan dan" noodles

I ordered the dan dan noodles and the meat was seasoned like carne asada, the noodles were gummy and the sauce was bland. Not anything remotely similar to authentic dan dan noodles. Admittedly the manager said they are working on changing the menu, and many of the food options were out of stock... should've known. I was in kind of a rush and I wasn't able to get a refund but it was literally inedible. Will see if it makes me sick!

I got the wagyu dumplings and wow they were so good. Very filling too, I almost couldn't even finish them all! At first I was a bit disappointed because they didn't have any more of the soup dumplings that I came for but still had a very good experience. They also had some fun drink options inside too. Loved the outdoor seating too, very cool outdoor mall vibes!

Pan fried dumplings
Brandon K.

Not a bad spot since it is right next to the movie theater. Lots of parking near here unless there is an event going on. Would come back to try the combo meal they are trying to introduce. Employee were friendly. The surprising dish would be the fried rice since wasnt expecting that kind of flavor from such a small spot and was fast too. The pan fried dumplings were good. Did not like the sesame wonton too much since the sauce was too thick so it was hard to mix around. Would definitely come back for the fried rice though.

Salt & Pepper Popcorn Chicken
Joe G.

I really wanted to like Chubby Dumplings, especially since it's so nicely located to the AMC theater I go to a lot. And while the interior is nice and attractive, the food was a disappointing let down. We ordered the Popcorn Chicken and the Black Pepper Wagyu Dumplings and they were both tough and chewy, as if they came out of the freezer and microwaved. Both were slightly cool instead of hot, so if they've een sitting around for a while too. At least the Popcorn Chicken did taste like regular popcorn chicken even though it was lacking the nice tenderness and texture I would expect from it, but the black pepper Wagyu dumpling simply does not taste anything like Wagyu or much of anything for that matter. The dumpling wrapping didn't seem like it was steamed on a pan, and lack that softness that can just melt in your mouth. The best part of our meal was us mixing the soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil together so we can have some decent flavor to add to the lackluster dumplings. There is potential to the menu, they just need to serve better food.

Solid choice for quick and tasty dumplings! This is a great option for a quick bite with plenty of options. We ate in and were pleased by the service and overall cleanliness of the restaurant. Note: they have lots of meat and non-meat options! We tried the Dan Dan noodles, spicy pork and shrimp Szechuan dumplings, black pepper wagyu beef dumpling, har gow,, and bbq pork bao. The pork and shrimp Szechuan dumplings were the star for sure! Great flavor. Only feedback is I wish they had more of the numbing qualities of Szechuan peppercorn. I could have done a bit spicier. The Dan Dan noodles were very flavorful and I've never had them with beef. I would have preferred with pork, but the beef was still tasty. I wish the har gow and black pepper wagyu dumpling had a bit more flavor, but once dipped in sauce it's great! Pro tip: if you get the Szechuan dumplings - dip the black pepper wagyu dumplings in the sauce!!

Ooh I was super excited to try out this spot during it's soft opening after having been to their Anaheim location. You order at the kiosks but you can also view the menu above. It's a quick eatery type of place perfect for a snack or lunch. We were handed our orders directly by the male staff and we enjoyed snacking outside in the patio. The Har Gow (shrimp) dumplings were good but I didn't like the crunch of the ginger inside. 4/5, the BBQ pork siao pao was fluffy and delicious I enjoyed the warm comforting taste of the dumpling! 5/5 Overall it was a great spot to stop by at for a bit and enjoy a nice break munching on dumplings!!

Tofu Veggie Fried Rice
Shivali S.

The young woman working last night was the sweetest, I was hesitant to eat here because I didn't see any obviously marked vegan options, but she figured out that's what I was looking for and checked multiple times with the chef to help me figure out that the tofu veggie fried rice would be the best option for me. The service was amazing, and the food actually blew my expectations away, it was absolutely delicious! There was plenty of seating in and outside and a bathroom without a code needed, so it was a great spot to hang out, enjoy the food and people watch!

Steamed Custard Bao(1pc), Salt & Pepper Popcorn Chicken, and Wagyu Steak Fried Noodle
Giselle M.

Came to try Chubby Dumpling during their soft opening. The atmosphere and ambiance of the place is nice and welcoming. There are plenty of tables inside and outside. They have nice music playing in the background as well. It's super easy to order through their tablet (so I think this establishment is card-only). They, unfortunately, didn't have the combos available yet so I settled on getting everything separately. I ordered the steamed black pepper Wagyu dumplings, Wagyu noodles, Dan Dan noodles, popcorn chicken and steamed custard bun. My favorite was definitely the dan Dan noodles because of the flavor and creaminess. I liked the Wagyu dumplings but they weren't super hot but the flavor was good. Overall, I recommend this place. The service is good. The worker made sure to check on us, which was super nice! Located right across from the movie theater

I came to Chubby Dumplings for some dumplings. Unfortunately, they were all out of dumplings, or should I say, all of the dumplings I wanted to try. A bit ironic that Dumplings is in the name of the place, yet they don't have any - not a good sign. This is another place where you order by iPad - no human contact. I settled for some Spicy Chicken Wontons. The spice wasn't really there, and the wontons were hard and lacked flavor. I also ordered the Wagyu Beef Ramen. The broth and noodles in the ramen were ok, but the Wagyu Beef was not good at all. It was chewing, gristly, and had zero flavor. After several attempts to get I good bite of beef, I gave up and just ate the noodles. In a word . . . disappointing. On the plus side, they didn't serve the dine-in dishes in paper or plastic containers, and they had condiments on all of the tables. I came in to try the dumplings (which they didn't have) so I will refrain from stating, one-and-done, but this experience was so disappointing, I'm not sure I will be back.

Inside chili wonton

This place is good for what it is, I am glad to have seen an older Chinese lady making the dumplings by hand especially because this location is next to a Chinese place where robots make your fried rice. You can actually taste experience and care in these dumplings. The menu has a good enough variety of dumplings, I kinda wish they didn't feel like upcharging beef dumplings because of wagyu, I don't need wagyu at a grab and go dumpling location lol This place is still new so they didn't even have the combos available to order from the kiosk. There is plenty of seating and I like that you can fill your own soda. The sodas are a combination of the fancy ones and the regular kind. They also have bottled teas and stuff you can take from their fridge. I got the wonton in chili oil and they were good enough for me to feel full but not too full. They weren't spicy at all, just more on the sweeter side. My friend got the potstickers and the filling tasted really good. Parking is free and easy at the garage off of Orange. If you need a really fast bite before a movie at the AMC this is a good option.

Redeemed steamed custard bun via rewards and the item was meh. I can prob get better ones from frozen buns at the market. The Wagyu Stir Fried noodles had savory sweet noodles that were enjoyable the first few bites but got heavy as it went on. The Wagyu inside was tough to chew through. Might go with the Wagyu dandan noodles instead next time.

Black Pepper Wagyu Beef Dumplings(8pc)
Emily Y.

I love the Chubby Group restaurants so I was excited to come across this location! Came during soft opening dates, so the options were limited to the soft opening menu. There were still several options, and we took our pick of a few things. My favorite was the sesame dumplings because the sauce was DELICIOUS. I ended up dipping my other dumplings into that sauce as well. I also really enjoyed the quality of the wagyu beef in the dumplings and the noodle soup. We ordered via the self serve screens up front and the food was ready within 15 minutes. Overall, a very nice location with casual vibes.

Yummy wonton with Szechwan chili oil

Is there anyone I can talk to in customer service, I've been calling the numbers provided, and the restaurant is closed though it says it's open online? I have an issue with an order that was charged and not fulfilled.

Are the dumplings made fresh or are they frozen?

We had our family dinner for party of 6 on a Saturday night at Oku-Niku Japanese BBQ. It was my…read morefirst time here but not for my brother as he frequents Oku-Niku and have been convincing us to try this place out for a few months now. Oku-Niku Japanese BBQ did not disappoint and provided both delicious Japanese meals and excellent customer service. Our waiter Sergio was excellent. Thank you Sergio! He kept bringing out replenishment for the different types of meat. We ordered the Premium All You Can Eat for $79.50 per person. It was very much worth the price for what they serve you along with the quality of meats. This Premium All You Can Eat for $79.50 per person included A5 Wagyu. I'm sure you know that A5 Wagyu is the highest grade of Japanese beef. It was tender, rich and buttery. Included in the Premium All You Can Eat for $79.50 per person are to name a few, Scallop, Yellow Tail, Truffle Salmon Roll, Brussel Sprout, Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, Soft Shell Crab and Beef Tongue. The cuts and the quality of the meat along with the quality of the seafood is 5 stars. Oku-Niko Japanese BBQ is now added to our list of favorite eateries to frequent with family and friends. Will be back here again next weekend and we're so looking forward to it.
