Over the past decade, the Chubby Group has grown from a handful of hot pot and Asian barbecue eateries to a national powerhouse with a robust Wagyu supply chain. The restaurant group is set to celebrate a significant milestone with the early May opening of Wagyu Master Sukiyaki at 21 W 35th St. in Midtown. Under the Chubby Group umbrella, the Waygu Master brand encompasses various Japanese dining styles — including grilling (yakiniku) and hot pot (sukiyaki and shabu-shabu). The Midtown location is specifically designed to highlight sukiyaki through an elevated, intimate lens. Unlike the group’s more family-oriented locations, the Manhattan outpost focuses on a chef’s counter experience that allows for greater culinary precision.
