Mashed recently published a feature highlighting Asian restaurant brands that are expected to see continued growth in 2026, and Chubby Group is proud to be included in this national conversation. The article points to shifting dining preferences across the U.S., where guests are increasingly drawn to Asian cuisine that offers bold flavors, interactive formats, and elevated ingredient quality. This recognition reflects the growing momentum behind Chubby Group’s wagyu-forward hotpot, barbecue, and experiential dining concepts.
The feature explores why Asian restaurant brands are expanding rapidly, citing consumer demand for immersive dining experiences and globally inspired menus. Chubby Group’s inclusion underscores the strength of our approach: pairing premium wagyu with social, customizable dining formats that resonate with modern diners. As Mashed notes, concepts that combine quality, value, and experience are well-positioned for long-term growth, particularly in competitive metropolitan markets.
