In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Chicago; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in Illinois are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.

Hours are published for 2 days a week. The most common schedule is 5 PM–12 AM.

If you have the patience to wait up to 2 hours, you’ll be rewarded with quite an awesome experience of picking your own skewer with different cuts of meat (wagyu, chicken, pork, shrimp, scallop and some veggies like zucchini, corn, pineapple etc. and then grilling them for as little as 2 minutes (depending on the meat). Service is very attentive without being intrusive nor repetitive. Shrimp has 2 sticks so the price is double, surprisingly more premium than the wagyu lol. It can get chaotic by the fridge but we managed. Prepare for heat or warm interior, can get a bit trying when there’s a heatwave ;)

This was a good time, although a long wait was pretty worth it to be honest. Lots of variety on the their meat selection and vegetable selection, was not aware it was b.y.o.b currently since they're waiting on the liquor license. Highly recommend this place if you want to have a good time.

We visited Chubby Skewers on Saturday, 4/4/26, and although the wait was incredibly long, the overall experience more than made up for it. The food, ambiance, and especially the customer service were all top notch. Our hostess, Emily, took great care of our group from the moment we arrived. Despite how busy and chaotic the lines were, she remained positive, friendly, and attentive. She kept us well informed throughout the wait and made sure everything went smoothly once our table was ready. Our server, Jocelyn, was equally impressive. She checked in on us regularly, made sure we had everything we needed, and did an excellent job explaining the ordering process—especially helpful since my friends Ben and Miles were first-timers. The kitchen was also incredibly efficient. We ordered the Wagyu Fried Rice, Cold Noodles, and Takoyaki, and everything came out quickly and tasted fantastic. The skewers were the highlight—flavorful, generously portioned, and even better with their signature seasoning. The selection was extensive, and even near closing time, there were still plenty of options available. I’ve been to the Manhattan location, and honestly, this new Chicago spot exceeded ex
