A new restaurant is now open in the Japanese-themed “Sakura Novi” development.
Chubby Cattle Wagyu Shabu House opened its doors Monday at 42768 Grand River Ave., Novi. The restaurant is the Chubby Group’s first in Michigan and focuses on all-you-can-eat Japanese-style yakiniku hotpot.
“We’re excited to bring the Chubby Cattle Wagyu Shabu House experience to Novi,” Chubby Group co-founder David Zhao said in a statement. “Michigan is home to some of the country’s most adventurous food lovers, and we believe our take on wagyu hotpot—blending authenticity, innovation, and premium ingredients—will truly resonate with the local community.”
The elevated menu includes fresh-cut A5 Wagyu and other global wagyu cuts from an Oregon ranch, which can be cooked to diners’ individual preference at their own tableside grill.
Sushi and hand rolls, seafood, milk tea, and Japanese desserts are also on offer.
Prices range from $48 per person to $78 per person.
The restaurant boasts what it describes as decor inspired by Japanese anime with wall murals.
