Food was excellent, shocked to find good local food at an arcade but delicious. Staff was friendly, would recommend.

We went for their famous oxtail soup. It was horribly greasy. No cilantro. The portions ox tail was fantastic but no peanuts ginger not served on the side ground. Soup was poorly flavored. Besides it costs $27.50 no Mac salad just 2 scoops white rice. Way too much money.

The food here was so good. I had the Korean chicken with zucchini fries. Both were crispy to perfection and the ranch was good. My daughter had the nachos. Oh, my husband had the teriyaki beef sandwich and I typically don't like teriyaki, but it was so tender and delicious. I wanted more! The servers were also really nice and helpful. They were busy, but they all helped us with a smile as we ordered.

Paid $6 extra just to have 4 chicken wings and a dollop of Teri beef for a mix plate. Thankful that it was a gift card. Almost $26 dollar plate.

Chubbys is so unexpected—in a good way. Our hotel staff recommended it to us and we were skeptical pulling into the chubby’s parking lot, but yes, it is in a bowling alley/arcade! There are some booths for you to sit in or you can bowl and eat at the same time. We got The oxtail soup (must get), oxtail loco moco, and the pork and cabbage. All delicious but the oxtail soup…. Was exceptionally amazing. The broth is an explosion of flavor and the oxtail is perfectly stewed. Highly recommend!!!

This place is a hidden gem! Clearly popular with locals, it’s a bowling alley and arcade with a sneaky good menu. The food options were super tasty and affordable.

Great food and friendly service! Make sure to try their avocado fries, soooo good you guys!

Looking for a local place for a late breakfast. Didn't realize it was a bowling alley. Haven't had bowling alley food in years. Good food and service. A little noisy but what do you expect in a bowling alley.

The hours of the restaurant is quite reliable. The portions of the food are pretty big and tasty. The stew with charsu fried rice was a definite winner. Definitely coming back!

Located inside the bowling alley. Easygoing comfort food for a good price
