This was my first time at Chubby Skewers and they've made a lifelong fan out of me ! When you walk in you get to pick out your selection of meats, seafood, and veggies. Everything is cooked on skewers at the table, such a fun date spot or get together with friends. It gives traditional KBBQ a run for its money, and I actually prefer it to the open grill at Kbbq restaurants. My partner and I shared a Peach Soju Beer Pitcher between us and managed to eat over 50 skewers The food was flavorful, fresh and the restaurant was very clean and sanitary. Staff is very attentive, walking around checking on guests, refilling waters and they even keep an eye on your skewers in case you've left them on too long! 100% will be back and will recommend to anyone in Flushing Queens :)

Chubby Skewers in Flushing offers a fun and interactive take on Chinese BBQ, built around the experience of grilling skewers at the table. We walked into a casual, energetic space that works especially well for groups, where you can spend time cooking, sharing food, and enjoying the meal together rather than rushing through a quick meal. The layout encourages lingering, with low tables and grill setups that make the meal feel more like a social gathering than a typical restaurant stop. The menu focuses on a wide variety of skewers, including beef, lamb, seafood, and wagyu options. The wagyu skewers are one of the highlights, with rich flavor and a satisfying texture that justifies the slightly higher price point, while the lamb skewers are another strong choice with a good balance of seasoning and char. Some skewers are better than others depending on personal preference, but the overall quality is solid for the price, especially with the amount of variety available. The cucumber salad is also a nice addition, adding a refreshing contrast to the grilled dishes and helping to cut through the richness of the meats. The service helps make the experience smoother, especially for first-time visitors. The staff is friendly and explains how the grilling process works, which makes it easy to enjoy even if you are unfamiliar with this style of BBQ. The self-grilling setup adds a fun element and makes the meal feel more interactive, letting you control the heat and timing to get each skewer exactly how you like it. The team checks in regularly to ensure the grill is working properly and the meal stays on track. Chubby Skewers is a great casual spot for affordable Chinese BBQ with friends. It is not just about the food itself, but also the experience of sitting together, grilling skewers, and trying different flavors in one meal. The portions are generous for the price, and the variety across the menu makes it easy to keep ordering new items throughout the evening.

The skewers were delicious but they're small so that I can try more of them at once. Selecting the skewers is self-serve and is divided into categories. I enjoyed the meat skewers the most and the seasonings offered elevated the taste of them. I can tell the meat is high quality since I can taste the richness and the marbling of some meats. Beware that it's not all-you-can-eat so it's pay by skewer with some skewers costing more. The sweet and sour pork could be a little less sweet and have bell peppers since it tasted more like Korean honey butter chicken, and the spicy potato sticks were also on the sweeter side. Despite that, I recommend this place if you're in the mood for Chinese skewers.

Not only is the food delicious but it's also such a fun experience. They have a pretty good variety of veggies and meat and I love the seasonings they offer on the side. We even got a few hot dishes that were also great. The molten tofu was slightly spicy and super flavorful while still retaining the taste of tofu, and I loved the seasoning they put on top. The foil wrapped enoki mushroom was juicy and also flavorful. I've never had skewered brussel sprouts before but it was an unexpected favorite for me as well as other people in my group. The grilled pineapple was also a group favorite. Can't wait to come back again.

I came here for lunch on 5/15/2026. I like the concept of grilling your own food on skewers. Each skewer is $1.40, and the selection of meats and vegetables was abundant. While solo dining, I selected the lean wagyu, black pepper wagyu, brisket, magra fresh lamb, crawfish, cuttlefish balls, and pork belly with kimchi. Most skewers had skimpy portions of food! My primary server, Tommy, was attentive and accommodating. He provided me a fork when he saw me struggling with chopsticks. He also informed me that only dry seasoning is up for customer grabs. Customers must ask the servers to retrieve the wet ones, e.g., lemon, sesame oil, soy sauce, etc., from the kitchen. Tommy gave me some free lychees for dessert. I appreciated that because they are one of my favorite fruits. I also sampled some mango custard--delightful. Kay and Lucas took turns cleaning off my table. The ambiance says "restaurant walk up". Customers must climb steep stairs to reach the restaurant, so skip this restaurant if you are in poor shape. The restrooms are fairly clean, and the vibe is Instagram worthy. Chubb Skewers is worth a try! I had a good meal! 3.5 stars/5-rounded off to 4.

Skewers are $1.40 for non-member. Some of them are $2.80, such as chicken wings. Members are $1, but it is $50 per year membership with free skewers. Skewers are flavorable. I like the beef tribe, new orkeans chicken wing. The lamb skewers are more like skinny skewers. Scallop with vermicelli is tasty. We got 6 for $21. It is $4 if you order 1. Thats why we ordered 6. Shrimp balls are also good. It is crispy. It looks like lychee. You can skip the eggplant. I had better. Live music, and they gave out free flowers for Mothers Day. In the end, you get to pick a prize. My wife got the $25 gift certificate. The waitress was very happy when my wife drew the $25 gift certificate. I guess that's the big prize they were talking about. We spent about $125 including tips for 2 people.

I believe they have another location in the city but I came to this location in flushing on a weekend afternoon and was able to be seated right away. This is a pay per skewer place and just a heads up THEY ARE SMALL. They're cheap but for a reason lol. You could easily rack up $50+ worth of skewers alone (2 ppl). They were good though and you're able to season them yourself as well. We also had some sides (wagyu fried rice & stir fried instant noodles) which were both good as well. Overall a good spot but I wish the portions were bigger /:

The reason for 1 star because, one of the skewers the meat was sour .. i think it's pork one. If you cannot tolerate rotten meat you can stop reading the rest of what i wrote. After entering the store you'll need to climb the long staircase, it's not seniors friendly. Because it's a rainy day, a girl almost fall down from going down the staircase. On a Saturday night waiting time was about 40mins. Service is good, nice people. Live music available we came on Saturday night, the singers are good however if u were like us being sat next to the singers, it's gonna be sooooo loud. Here's the break down for food we tried: (it's bite size skewers) - Chicken wings is good (spicy one) - pineapple is good only of you cook it over 10 minutes sprinkle some sugar on it - corn is good 糯糯的 - abolone is ok like the one in a can - eel is good but don't like their marinade , very tiny piece - chick feet is ok something different after eating a lot of meat - chicken heart is not fresh - baby squid is not fresh and mushy - broccoli was yellowish( didn't get that) - fish balls is typical fishball like those in hmart, i like bbq fishball - beef tripes is good -beef tongue - very hard to chew not the best part - Australia lamb is tough - all beef are not good quality beef , beef neck meat were so hard to chew, throw it out. - bacon wrap mushroom is good , make sure pick the fresh one, some of them in the tray looks gray - shrimp is good - crawlfish is ok - duck tongue is ok - mini scallops is good -side order fish skin very good Alcohol & drinks are available, cheaper if one of you in the party join membership they'll calculate for you., then you'll get free can leychee dessert. Pineapple beer is good. In conclusion: most meat they are bland even though some are already marinated. Because we had tasted sour meat (pork), rinsed my mouth with alcohol. Idk if we gonna get sick the next day ... So .. I'm sorry to give 1 star, my mind can't get off the sour meat i tasted. Just feel unsafe to come back again. Personally now I'll prefer just go to Korean bbq. Personally

Came here for a birthday dinner with a friend on Saturday night. Picked this place based on the high reviews, we signed up at the front (upstairs, there's a tablet), we waited for about 30-40min. There's 3-4 chairs directly beneath the stairs leading up to the restaurant on second floor (stairway is very long, this place may not be wheelchair accessible, I didn't see any elevators). We got seated outside which had some nearby heaters. Decoration felt like outdoor camping vibe with lots of flames everywhere. The server got us water upon seating and explained that the seasonings at the table is free but if we want the seasoning nearby the skewer place is extra fee. This is the first time I've heard of charging extra for seasoning...and it's not really cheap either. Skewers selections has a wide range of meats, vegetables is pretty underwhelming. Skewers themselves doesn't have a lot of meat on them considering they're around $1.35 or something...some that has 2 skewers through meats are more expensive. I was pretty disappointed with every skewers TBH: 1) portion is super small 2) tasteless 3) doesn't taste very fresh 3) you cook it yourself 4) can't even enhance the flavor because the "free condiments" are limiting and the actual one that may help is extra $. What really killed it for me was when I tried the squid. It's whole baby squid with eyes, teeth and innards intact. Not cleaned at all. When I bit into it, all the guts came out and was extremely fishy. I don't think a restaurant should be serving squid that hasn't been properly cleaned. Not OK. The total came out to be $100+. We had also ordered some side dishes such as the preserved egg with tofu which wasn't too bad. Overall impression: - decoration: great, that's probably where the restaurant is putting most of its efforts in - service: above average, server was attentive but customers are really just servicing themselves lol - food: very poor - price: does not make sense, especially charging for the condiment that might actually save the flavorless skewers. I think the business model leans into hype and membership for Gen Z group that wants to post to Tik Tok or social media. if you're an actual foodie who wants good food, I'd skip this.

Stumbled in randomly for skewers - a little disappointed that these didn't rotate automatically. Wait staff are super attentive at clearing plates and refilling water. The skewers selection is good, definitely lots to choose from, ranging from different parts of meats too. The skewers match the price $1.30, so it's nice to just get some to try, but my party definitely walked out hungry for a more fulfilling meal haha. But I think it's great for a late night snack spot to hangout, talk, and eat just a little bit, especially since it does take a little while for the meat to get that smoky taste.

Francine Y.

Atmosphere was really cute and the decor was fun. Selections of skewers were plenty and we enjoyed everything we got. Passion fruit beer was very good, liked it more than the pineapple beer. They seated us all the way on top at the end and it was very very hot and barely any ventilation. We left the place stinking. Wish they can fix the ventilation to enjoy eating more. They have an outdoor section for when it's warmer and excited to see that next time. Also if you don't want to cook for yourself you can have them use charcoal to do it in the kitchen.

They do have a very large selection of items to choose from, including seafood, vegetables, and even Wagyu. We went as a large group of four adults and four kids, and thanks to our friends having a membership discount, the bill was more manageable. Without that discount, the total would have been close to $500 including gratuities. The one thing that disappointed me a bit was the skewers themselves. Considering the name, I expected them to be a little more "chubby" or thicker, but they were actually fairly small. Overall, it's a fun social dining experience with lots of options, but the DIY cooking style and smaller skewers may not be for everyone.

Kelly Y.

If you cannot take the stairs or have a stroller, be aware that this location does NOT have elevators. I was able to carry my stroller up but going down I definitely needed friends to help me. If you have an elderly member who cannot walk up the stairs.. this isn't the place to go. Food wise, selection was alright. Felt the skewers were so not filling even after we ate a large amount. You're better off ordering off their menu if you actually want to leave with a full belly. Service was really good and staff were courteous and came by to fill our water pretty often. Live entertainment was alright too but space could be a little cramped.

Food is good, quiet and clean…read more Service is impeccable. My fiance and I drink water like fish. Our glasses were never empty. Warning to all with a pineapple allergy like me: do not eat the duck sauce. If you like spicy ask for hot mustard instead. Orange chicken was crispy and flavorful. I did not find it spicy, but my spice tolerance is very high. My fiance had the chicken with broccoli and it looked amazing. Try the cold noodles. They are chewy and delicious. For me the fried dumplings were good, but not great. Worth a try but nothing to rave over.

The menu here is split into two sections, classic American Chinese take out and Sichuan cooking…read more Seems to be a fairly popular take out spot, as they were fulfilling many delivery orders while I was there, but the interior is comfortable and elegantly decorated unlike a standard take out only spot. I ordered the cured pork with garlic shoots and dry fried green beans. The cured pork was quite salty, and paired well with the buttery, tender leeks it was cooked with. The dish was not overly oily, and was pleasant over white rice. I enjoyed the chewiness of the pork which allowed you to experience the complex flavor. The green beans were well fried, with characteristic texture signature to this dish. The seasoning was very well balanced and not overpowering to the natural sweetness of the green beans. I would recommend either dish. They were both slightly toned down iterations when compared to the times I've eaten these dishes at other Sichuan restaurants in flushing, but still well seasoned and well cooked. The service was very warm and friendly, and many other customers seemed to be returning regulars.
