Chubby Skewers | Authentic Chinese BBQB-

252 W 37th St, New York, NY 10018 · Barbecue restaurant, Chinese restaurant · Garment District

Interactive, late-night Chinese skewer spot with big vibes and tiny skewers—fun if you like DIY grilling, but expect crowds, low seating, smoke, and a bill that adds up.

Our take

Chubby Skewers delivers an entertaining DIY grilling concept with solid food quality in its core skewer offerings, but operational challenges limit its appeal. Uncomfortable low seating and crowded layout combined with inconsistent freshness and service speed create friction in the core dining experience. Best suited for social, novelty-seeking diners willing to overlook physical discomfort for the interactive experience.

One caveat: Low stools and cramped upstairs seating are uncomfortable for many diners; consider downstairs if available
