5-Star Feast at Chubby Cattle Shabu Novi. Thanks to Khoa!
Just finished an unforgettable all-you-can-eat dinner at Chubby Cattle Shabu Novi, and wow. If you crave premium A5 Wagyu shabu-shabu that melts like butter, this is your spot. Tucked on Grand River Ave in Novi, the vibe is sleek and modern with glowing lanterns and private booths that feel like a delicious secret. We chose the tomato broth because it is the gluten-free option, and it was perfection. The bright, tangy base bubbled on the table while we dipped endless marbled Wagyu slices for exactly 5 seconds (pro tip!). Fresh veggies and handmade gluten-free noodles rounded things out, but let’s be real: for a carnivore like me, this is a dream. All-you-can-eat Wagyu beef keeps flowing until you wave the white flag. Flavors stay bold and balanced, and tablet ordering makes reordering effortless.
Now, the real MVP: Our server, Khoa Nguyen. From the moment he greeted us, his energy was infectious. He was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited to share the menu. He confirmed the tomato broth was gluten-free, guided us through safe dipping, suggested killer pairings like house-made ponzu and chili oil, and kept the Wagyu coming without missing a beat. When I mentioned my carnivore diet and gluten sensitivity, he made it effortless and safe, even double-checking with the kitchen. Attentive without hovering, and that smile? Pure hospitality gold. He also introduced me to the Chubby Club, and I signed up on the spot because of its great value. If you want an interactive, unlimited, gluten-free-friendly Wagyu feast (especially if you’re carnivore), run to Chubby Cattle. Khoa and the team left our group of four stuffed, smiling, and already planning our return. 10/10. Can’t wait...
Read moreI was so excited to hear Chubby Cattle open in Michigan. I have been to Chubby Cattle in a few other places from the West Coast so I know they have very high quality beef wagyu. There are multiple options you can choose from and we went with the Gold Tier today. It came with unlimited Wagyu and seafood. There are food options from the bar. Unlimited drink and delicious milk tea. I was happy they added Tom Yum and Tomatoes broth flavor because they didn't have that in California. The brothes are amazing. Meat of course is delicious. Overall the restaurant is clean and beautiful. Usually after I eat hotpot from other places in Michigan my clothes and my hair smell bad after but it didn't happen here. I guess they have good ventilator system which help with the smell. We will...
Read moreAbsolutely loved my experience at Chubby Cattle Wagyu Shabu House! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was stunning — warm lighting, beautiful décor, and a welcoming front desk team that made us feel taken care of right away.
The food was outstanding. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and high quality — from the thinly sliced beef to the vegetables, seafood, and dim sum. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the variety of ingredients made the entire meal so enjoyable.
Service was attentive, friendly, and efficient, and the whole dining experience felt smooth and well-organized.
Overall, this is definitely one of the best hot pot/shabu spots I’ve been to. Highly recommend for anyone looking for amazing food, great ambience, and...
