Barbeque Restaurants in Monterey Park

“It was my first time at Chubby, and I must say the experience was amazing food was just what we expected there was alot of choice and even 1 30 min doesn't seem like alot of time there waiters a super fast so no time wasted just make sure your friends aren't broke because it's pricey“

“✅ Skewers of all kinds
❌ Other cooked food / seafood

Great place to visit for skewers ❤️ you don't have to worry about turning the skewers as the machine was set to do the turning for you.

The restaurant was super warm, coming in for this in summer is really not a favourable option. Steamed egg in cups were given as complimentary.

Vegeggies were relatively more expensive than meat options, wish that they could do more choices.

Rmb to check with the waitors about the numbers of food per skewer before ordering.

Thanks to those who had food in this place before, I managed to skip some of the less good-value food option.“

“(Translated by Google) For takeaways from the epidemic, I like lamb skewers and chicken skins. Chicken cartilage is fine. But I don’t know why the beef skewers and pork belly taste a bit sour? ? I don’t know if it’s the sauce(Original)疫情点的外卖，羊肉串和鸡皮很喜欢。 鸡软骨还行。但是不知道为什么牛肉串和猪五花肉吃起来有点酸？？ 不知道是不是酱料的问题“

“I had a great experience at [Skewer Place Name]! The variety of skewers was impressive, and the flavors were bold and delicious. The meat was tender, and the seasoning was spot on. The veggie skewers were also fresh and cooked perfectly.

The ambiance was cozy and lively, making it a great spot to hang out with friends. Service was friendly and attentive, though it is a bit pricy for skewers.“

“Great place for a group to hang out, drink, and eat some food. Very cool atmosphere. Like an old timey tavern from Chinese dramas. Good, fast service. Order food on a tablet. There are options to omit scallions and cilantro for people who don't like them. You can also call the servers from the tablet, otherwise they leave you alone. Had a live performer (singer) when we went.“

“The best skewers ever. We drove seven or eight hours from Northern California to eat. The ingredients are fresh and taste great. There is a man who looks like the boss and is very nice. We were served quickly knowing we were hungry. Thank you for the delicious food. See you next month.“

“I just had a bad experience with food from Dim Sum Express, but it was DUE TO MY OWN IGNORANCE. Here's what happened:
I made a large order of dim sum and took them home. When I bit into a Char Siu Bao I got a huge whiff of ammonia.
I assumed the food I bought was bad, and tossed $50 worth of Dim Sum in the trash.

It occurred to me that Chinese cooking sometimes contains Potassium Nitrate, and I wondered if maybe what I smelled was a decomposition product of KNO3. So I did some Googling.

What I discovered was that the making of Char Siu Bao requires Ammonium Bicarbonate (臭粉), a leavening agent that releases Ammonia!

So be aware that Dim Sum Express Char Siu Bao may be a little adventurous for diners who are accustomed to Chinese food that has been "toned down" for consumption by Westerners.
I think that the Ammonium Bicarbonate is ONLY used when making steamed bao, so you may order anything else without getting surprises.

By the way, Char Siu - Chinese red pork and Chinese Sausage both contain Potassium Nitrate, as do some other dishes. This is the actual cause of the headache and discomfort that most people ascribe to MSG (Monosodium Glutamate).

So, just passing along some things I learned today!“

“Food is very well prepared. Tasty and definitely quality tofu soup. Service is friendly and very attentive.

Atmosphere is normal restaurant nothing special but nothing abnormal.

Their portions are average. For me, ive had tofu from some of their other competition that was more memorable and heftier in portions.
