This listing's current published materials advertise Wagyu, but the offering does not meet our full verification standard for provenance. It carries no authenticity badge; undisclosed details remain explicitly unverified.
Why it's listed
A Chubby Group handroll bar on the first floor of NIKU X NYC, trading on a co-branded Wagyu Master x Chubby Nori menu that pairs a temaki counter with Japanese Wagyu shabu-shabu and sukiyaki - A4 and A5 combos from $45 to $65, a Wagyu ribeye yaki shabu roll, a Wagyu tartare roll, and an uni-caviar-Wagyu special. The operator states every cut is A4/A5 certified by the Japan Meat Grading Association and imported through S Foods' Wagyu Master export arm, but names no prefecture, brand, or farm. It opened as Wagyu Master Sukiyaki House in early May 2026 and merged into Chubby Nori at the end of June.

Common questions
- Does Chubby Nori - NY serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 20, 2026. What the menu does not do is say which Wagyu: no prefecture, grade, breed status or producer is published, so the sourcing cannot be checked from outside. That is a gap in what is written down rather than a suggestion that anything is wrong with the beef, and plenty of kitchens buy carefully without printing the details.
- What kind of Wagyu does Chubby Nori - NY serve?
- Its menu discloses A4 Japanese and A5 Japanese. Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.
- Why is Chubby Nori - NY listed without a Wagyu badge?
- Because a badge here means the sourcing was checked, not that the food is good. This listing is published because the venue genuinely advertises Wagyu on its own current material, and it carries no badge because that material does not say which Wagyu. If the venue publishes the prefecture, grade, breed status or producer, the listing can move.
