ATL｜Chubby Cattle vs. Chicago’s Xiang Hot Pot — Wagyu AYCE Showdown 🥩

Finally tried Chubby Cattle after it’s been open for a while — huge thanks to my friend for treating me! 🥰 Here’s a quick comparison with Xiang Hot Pot (Chicago-style hot pot chain), both offering premium wagyu all-you-can-eat. Chubby Cattle: Tiers: $48 / $58 / $78 / $98 (members save $10) We went for $78 — totally worth it. The wagyu here felt less greasy — we ate around 14 plates of meat between three people** without feeling overwhelmed. My top picks: A5 Wagyu Brisket & A5 Wagyu Chuck Ribeye (more chew, more flavor). Sweet shrimp lovers — go for the $98 tier, unlimited!🤣 Broth: We chose original and tomato (original is light, great for highlighting the meat). Also loved the seafood platter (crab legs, abalone, shrimp, fish) and the jasmine black tea — so refreshing. Xiang Hot Pot: Tiers: $68 / $88 / $108 Broths: We had spicy miso and mushroom — the mushroom broth got heavy fast. The meat quality is excellent (first few slices were heavenly), but by the 4th slice, I was already reaching for drinks. Standouts: uni sushi and grilled beef tongue — still dream about those. One note: Chubby Cattle’s bone marrow beats Xiang’s.💕 If you have a big appetite, go for the top tier — but $78 at Chubby Cattle was perfect for us. Lines are much shorter now than at opening — time to visit! 📍 Chubby Cattle Shabu 2180 Pleasant Hill Rd, Duluth, GA 30096 #AtlantaEats #WagyuAYCE #HotPotBattle #ChubbyCattle #XiangHotPot #MeatLovers #DuluthEats #AYCE #FoodComparison #ATLFoodScene #TreatYourself
