Came here with the family for a fun dinner experience, and it delivered on the vibe! The retro neon-lit décor is super Instagram-worthy, and the self-serve skewer bar concept is genuinely unique in the Valley. We grabbed a mix of wagyu beef, lamb, chicken, and veggies -- the quality of the meat was solid and everything tasted great fresh off the charcoal. The staff really made the experience. Everyone was warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in, and they were attentive throughout the meal. When our charcoal started dying down, they came by and swapped it out without us even having to ask -- that kind of proactive service goes a long way, especially when you're managing kids at the grill. A few honest notes: the portion per skewer is on the smaller side (at $1.20-$1.30 each, it adds up fast if you want to actually feel full), so go in knowing this is more of a fun experience than a hearty meal. Also, if you're bringing younger kids, keep a close eye on the grilling -- the charcoal gets extremely hot and it can be tricky to tell when smaller pieces are fully cooked through. Parents should plan to manage the grill for little ones. Overall, a great spot for a social night out or a family outing -- just don't arrive starving. Would recommend getting the membership if you plan to come back! read more

If you're looking for a fun experience that feels like stepping into a late-night food market in China, Chubby's Skewers is definitely worth checking out. I stopped by around 11:30 PM because I couldn't sleep, and the place was still busy. One of the biggest advantages is that they're open very late--until midnight or even 2 AM depending on the day. There were still plenty of people arriving after midnight when I left, which tells you how popular it is. The atmosphere felt very authentic. The restaurant was smoky from the charcoal grills, and nearly everyone was speaking Chinese. Even the busboy and waitress had to use Google Translate to help explain some of the menu items to me, which honestly added to the experience. The food quality was solid, but for me the biggest draw was the overall experience of picking out skewers and cooking them over a charcoal fire. The Wagyu skewers were decent, and the bacon-wrapped enoki mushrooms were good as well. I also enjoyed the crispy bread and Brussels sprouts. The standout dish for me was the fresh spicy cucumber and cilantro plate. It had a light, refreshing flavor that reminded me of a milder kimchi-style seasoning and was easily my favorite item of the night. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit and would absolutely go back for another late-night snack. If I drank alcohol, I imagine this place would be even more fun. Great atmosphere, unique experience, and a perfect option when you're craving something different late at night. read more

Chubby Skewers is a fun place to go with your friends and out of towners! This is perfect place for chatting and hanging out. More of an interactive experience and cooking foods together. It's generally kid friendly as long as your kids don't like to reach and touch hot things. I generally enjoy getting the chicken parts and the beef that's less fatty. The brisket for me is a bit too fatty but that's not their fault. It's just the cut. The staff is always nice to us and very friendly. Pro tip is to ask for the skewer tool since it helps a lot with getting the meat off the skewer. If they see you struggling, sometimes they will bring to you. I think it's very important what time you go if you don't want to run into a crowd and a long wait. I don't recommend going on weekends around 6. Seems really busy and long wait since the place is generally cook your own food. Do the math but the membership can be worth it! read more

Saw this place mentioned on social media so I gathered a group of friends and we checked it out for dinner. The restaurant is a cook your own skewer at your table type of place. Setup is simple: they bring a charcoal cooking box to your table, you select as many or as few skewers you want from the coolers, cook them to your liking, and they charge you per skewer at the end. The options are many and varied. We had shrimp, scallops, bacon wrapped enoki mushrooms, lamb, teriyaki chicken, brisket, pineapple, bell peppers, wagyu, Toast, even roasted a spike of garlic. They provide cumin, a dry spicy rub, chili powder and sesame for flavor. I feel that an assortment of dipping sauces would compliment the setting, but they don't have them- that's the only thing keeping this food from being spectacular. All in all it's a fun place and a nice change from the norm. Definitely recommended. read more

So simple but amazing. Meat and pairings grilled over charcoal. A lot faster of a cook than KBBQ and a lot tastier. The meat which is already great quality gets so tender. My favorites are the black pepper wagyu and the lamb in the dry rub. The service is usually pretty quick. I highly recommend getting the subscription if you plan on going more than once, takes the skewer price down from 1.30 to 1.00. They have lots of available seating and do team service. Usually pretty clean and I love that they're open late. My go to after a long night! read more

Really making this Chubby Club membership worth it and trying things when out of state. Happened to be in the Mesa area and decided to try Chubby Skewers. A little crazy with reservations since it was Valentine's day, but they are open until 2AM. They have a menu for cooked items like the wagyu beef rice bowl, fried shrimp balls, and the cucumber salad (so good!). Fun and interactive concept grilling your own skewers. They charge for the charcoal and per person to use the seasonings. You also have to order your rice separately. Self serve skewer stations. So many options to choose from but our favorites were the pork and the variety of beef / wagyu skewers. Some meats have 2 skewers - double the price. They have a cheat sheet for how long to cook each specific meat. Overall a fun dining experience. Can't really comment on service too much since this was a DIY restaurant. They didn't really have to do anything or check-in on us since we're doing everything ourselves. Lol. I would love some sort of sauce to dip the meats in since the dusting of dry seasonings just tasted flat. All the skewers go in a metal canister and when you're done, the staff counts it infront of you. Between 4 adults, we did about 70 skewers. Which was not bad at all cost wise. *Chubby Club membership pricing is $1 per skewer, free charcoal, and free seasonings. read more

Great service and fun vibes to eat! Leo was our server and he was very attentive. Very yummy skewers as well

Stop by to try this chinese bbq place. We choose and pick the skewers in the fridge area our self then bring them to our table to grill (there is an instruction on the table for how long we need to grill them) once it done, we can add some spices that is provided on the table, but the skewers it self are already marinated and tasty even without additional spices. For me, since I like spicy, I add some chilli, cumin & dry spices. Its a new experience for the kids, they really enjoy to choose, grill then eat them. It was really fun and most importantly is that the food is delicious!!! Be cautious, you might be addicted and won't be able to stop eating ^_^. read more

love the set up. cool vibes and the food was delicious and perfectly seasoned. Tip: order everything!!

We've gone to Chubby Skewers three times now and it's better now than it was during their first few months of opening. First visit: The options were lackluster, the service sucked and we left not wanting to come back. We hated everything on their menu except their skewers. We especially hated the stir fried noodles or the scallops in garlic sauce. Everything was so salty and inedible. Second time: good, better variety and service was a little better. We had no complaints but nothing wowed us. Third time: WAY better than previous visits. Service was fast and friendly. Good options on their menu now. Fried rice is insanely delicious, I was surprised and expected it to be average. Cucumber salad is always good. Malatang was full of ingredients and soo numbing. We ordered the Chinese pancake wraps but they dropped off tortillas... which we didn't understand. $6 for tortillas. If we wanted tortillas, we would have asked for tortillas. They should have let us know they were out of the wraps instead of dropping off tortillas so we don't order them lol. Skewers are still good and they have better variety now. They have unlimited Pepsi if you pay for the first round. Super loud and lively, so if that's not your thing, avoid. read more

There are tons of employees around to keep things neat and organized. They also serve from the menu VERY fast. Coming up to the coolers and picking out your own skewers can get a bit crowded, but people work together and make it happen. Love it here :) when I first went, I ended up coming back in a couple days to bring another friend read more

If you can, request for Tommy as your server. He was so helpful and got the things we needed super fast. He made our night for sure. Overall, I definitely recommend going here for some late night skewers because they open later than other places. read more

This place has a very interesting concept with a twist on Korean bbq with grilling your own meat. There is a metal hot box they set on your table filled with coals which you can set metal skewers of meat on top to cook. You walk over to the large refrigerators with about 8 doors and there are trays of meat, seafood, and a few veggies. I thought this was fun but the skewers of meat were about only 2" long at most. The restaurant charges you for everything, the coals, the spices mixes that you add to your skewers. I'm not sure why they don't include this in the price of the experience. There were other food items that you can order via a QR code on the table which we only ordered rice. The booths were very tight. So much so that you can't put your legs under the booth. Please opt for the tables instead of the booth. Overall felt it was a unique experience that I would do once. Not sure I would go back. read more

First time visiting and our server did a great job at explaining what to do, how everything worked and what items were available. The meats itself were really good and flavorful on their own. There is an additional charge for getting the charcoal itself and if you use any of their seasonings at each table. I wish they had more sides and sauces to go along with the meat but otherwise really good. All skewers are $1.20 each and they charge you based on how many skewers you have at the end. Definitely recommend getting the membership if you see yourself visiting often as it seems like a great deal and will pay for itself after a couple of visits! read more

If you're a fan of the Chubby Cattle group, this spot is a must-try. Happy Hour skewers are just $1.25 each -- yes, you read that right -- making it super easy to sample a ton of options without breaking the bank. One of my absolute favorites here is the stir-fry instant noodles -- seriously, must get. Plus, I love that you get to choose your own skewers, so you can mix and match to your heart's content. There's a huge variety, so everyone leaves happy. I've waited forever at the California location (no way I'm doing a two-hour wait again), so trying this one was a game-changer -- and I loved it. Fair warning, it does get a bit smokey inside, and if you order spicy, be ready for some real heat -- but that just adds to the fun. Overall, it's a tasty, customizable, and wallet-friendly hotpot experience -- perfect for both casual nights out and those "I need ALL the skewers" cravings. read more

Great atmosphere and fun family option for dinner for kids and adults. The service was amazing! Even though they ran out if rice (I know that was a surprising) the staff was apologetic and so accommodating with free smores, which made the kiddos happy. Food was very well seasoned, so not having a sause station wasn't needed. Would definitely eat here again! read more

Had a good time at Chubby Skewers. Visiting from CA. Took my son's family for dinner who's eaten there before. I found it interesting, pick premade skewers from fridges and cook them yourself on a grill set on your table at $1.25 a skewer. Fun sorta! There's not a lot of meat, seafood or vegetables on any one skewer so it can add up. We won a lottery for half off our total bill, that was exciting. Service was amazing, explained everything if you hadn't been before. Last words...let's go. read more

Parking was decent, but I think that was due to the time of day we went. Once you're seated, you can get up to pick out the meats and veggies you want to grill. Then you go back to your table to set up your grill and start cooking away. There's a charge per person for use of the seasonings. The seasonings need more variety. Everything seemed like it's all cumin flavored. Use the QR code at the table to order menu items from the kitchen. Overall a decent experience and pricing, but not sure if the flavors are up to my liking. I'm sure that a lot of people would enjoy this, but it's not for me. read more

We came in with drinks and wasn't told anything, about 15 minutes into our meal the server or food runner asked us to throw away our drinks, which we were okay with throwing away our drinks with no issue, which the policy is very understandable. Then he suddenly came back, assumed we were Chinese (we're Vietnamese), and started yelling at us in Chinese even though we had already responded to him in perfect English. We actually had to ask him to please lower his voice because he was yelling so loud that everyone was staring at us, but it's okay we stayed calm and tried to enjoy the rest of our meal, just extremely disappointed. I'm honestly confused why he assumed what language we spoke when we clearly understood and answered him the first time. We grew up in America, so the whole interaction felt really disrespectful and unnecessary over something so small. We actually loved coming to this place before this, but after being treated like that, it honestly doesn't feel worth it anymore. It's disappointing to feel stereotyped and discriminated against just because of how we look. He told us his name was "Jung," but I'm not even sure if that was actually his name because it didn't really seem like he understood what I was asking him. Again, food was great, service was terrible. read more

So the concept is cool. The $1 something per skewer will def grab anyone's attention. However when you get there There's an up charge to use seasonings. Each person is charged for each that is used. There's an up charge to get more charcoal. The service was great when we first got there. But then had to chase them down to get the bill when we wanted to leave. I think like a lunch/appetizer kind of spot. But to actually get full off of the food you will have to spend a lot. Bc a small amount comes on each skewer. We spent only about $30. We just wanted a taste of things. We didn't get anywhere near full. So I would estimate about 60-100 a person (again an estimate) to get full. But the food is good. They have a guide to tell you how long to cook things. They also sell alcohol which is cool. I was just uncomfortable with the small tables and the charcoal being so close to us. read more

This place is ok. I wanted to try it, since it's quite unique compared to the other places around. I forgot to take photos :/ the concept is, it's $1.10/skewer stick. The amount of meat on the skewer stick is bare minimum, even veggies, 3 broccoli trees for $1.10.. and not even full trees. I ordered white rice with my food. I was hoping they had some sort of sauces, but they have 0 sauce. No soy sauce, no chili sauce, no wet sauces. The only way to get a wet sauce is to order an entree that has it. This made eating the meats more of a challenge. I also ordered a coconut drink, and it was a tiny box. You get little cups for water, but you have to get up and go to the area with the skewers for more water. That or fill up countless cups. The constant having to get up for water is quite inconvenient. There's pretty much no service, it's all self service. Unless you want an entree or special drink, then you scan the QR code and order it, and it's brought out to you. I was not impressed with this place. I'd come back ONLY if they brought waters to the tables and added sauces. But it was a good experience to try at least once! read more
