We probably end up here once or twice a month We're part of the Chubby Club too, which is definitely worth it if you come as often as we do. We usually go back and forth between KBBQ and hot pot because I love KBBQ and my boyfriend is a hot pot person, so it works out perfectly. The meat selection is always so good and there's a ton to choose from. I also love the sauce bar because I can make mine exactly how I like it. The happy hour deal is really good too and makes it even easier to keep coming back. The staff is also a huge reason we love it here. Everyone is always really nice, but Danny and Jin are our favorites. I always try to request them because they're so friendly, attentive, and just make the whole experience better. Also have to shout out Elsa in the back because she seriously makes the BEST sushi. We always look forward to it when we come in. At this point Wagyu House is one of our regular spots and we always have a good time when we come.

I want to start by saying this was our second ChubbyPlus meal. Our first was XPot in Las Vegas,…read morewhich was a great experience, so I wasn't sure what to expect from Chicago Wagyu House. The Pros: Overall service was good. We appreciated the complimentary parking, unlimited soft drinks, A5 Wagyu with the Gold meal, appetizers, and several items from the seafood platter, including the scallops, crab, conch and sushi rolls. The ice cream was also good. The Cons: The Premium Australian Wagyu was a disappointment. It was tough and chewy and is something I think should really be looked at. Thankfully, we had the A5 Wagyu, which was excellent. Some of the fish on the seafood platter could have been left off. Also, I clearly noted that we were celebrating my spouse's birthday, but no one acknowledged it. XPot Las Vegas recognized our anniversary and even gave us complimentary champagne, so that was a nice touch that was missing here. When it was time to pay, the server brought an iPad to process my credit card. The 20% tip was already selected by default. I'm not sure if that is how the system is set up, but I don't think a tip should be automatically selected. I ended up giving 20% anyway because the service was good. At XPot Las Vegas, they simply took my card and brought the receipt to the table to sign, which felt more traditional. Since both restaurants have the same ownership, I'm not sure why the payment process is different. Finally, the restaurant became quite warm during our meal. I understand we were having a hot pot meal, but XPot Las Vegas never felt uncomfortably warm.

The food was pretty good and those tons of selections of course depending on the package that you Select. They have a station on the side of the restaurant with different sauces, seasoning, and other things for people to add to their food/brothS. The ambience of the restaurant was nice.

We went for the top option which gives you extra meat and seafood options which your waiter has to take and it gets delivered to you on a train!!! Everything else is on like this carousel that goes around to all the tables and you just take what you want off it. There are choices of different types of broths from fairly bland for the less adventurous to spicy Korean broths. The sauce station is pretty awesome allowing you to make your own sauces depending on what you fancy or using their recommendations. If you can eat loads, this place is worth the visit

The beef tallow side is bold and spicy in the best way, super fragrant, but not just "burn your mouth for no reason" spicy; the rich golden chicken broth is comforting, clean, and actually drinkable, which I love. That cute Little Cow-shaped tallow slowly melting as the pot heats is lowkey the star of the show, we were all filming it and then dunking meat right after lol. Super fun, very shareable, perfect for a small group who wants both heat and something mellow. Solid spot if you're into hot pot and want a two-in-one setup that actually tastes legit.

We went on a Saturday night, so it definitely was hopping. With a reservation, we didn't wait too long. We picked the spicy broth, the herbal chicken broth, and the pepper pork bone broth. Hubby and I always enjoy the spicy broth and herbal broth during our numerous previous hotpot experiences, but the pepper pork broth really surprised me. It was very very tasty. I think if I ever get a chance to revisit Qiao Lin, that is a must have for me. All the items we ordered were very delicious. We ordered so much I don't remember all of it. The enormous sauce bar is also very nice. The booth we sat in was roomy and comfortable which allowed us to really catch up and enjoy our time there. Overall, great food, atmosphere, and service. We'd definitely go back when we are in town again.

They had a tv in the room too and let us pick a show to let the kids watch after the kids were done eating, so it easily entertained the kids while the rest of the adults ate. The room was freezing though, the only down side. All the food was just as expected. They had some hot foods on the side you could eat, and I always love their salted peanuts and sesame ball. Plus if the sesame balls come out hot...that's when it's the best. You order the meats which come out served to you, but everything else is served buffet style. I give it four stars only because I prefer the old way where everything came out to order. Felt so much fresher that way and not everyone is using the same tongs to grab different foods. The seafood is in the buffet too, wish that came out to order. There was one garlic beef meat that was in the buffet line, and whenever people grabbed that with the tongs, the meat remained on the tongs. I didn't like having to use garlic beef stained tongs to pick up other things. Besides that, the food is great, the selection is great. Service is great. The all you can eat comes with a few drinks too. (Mostly soda, but also a sweet (cold) lemon tea and another tea there). There was an empty fridge which we assume used to have ice cream. They said there's no more ice cream. Not sure if this meant, out of it for the day, or if they don't do that anymore. I'd definitely be back and would recommend this location to people next time.
