Wagyu House, the all-you-can-eat yakiniku concept operated by Chubby Group, will open its first Arizona location at Chandler Fashion Center in fall 2027, according to reporting by KTAR and confirmed by ABC15.
Chubby Group, a hospitality company focused on wagyu beef, operates the concept around yakiniku, a Japanese BBQ grilling style in which diners cook bite-sized cuts over gas or charcoal flame. The restaurant sources wagyu from Japan, Australia, and the U.S., with each origin carrying distinct marbling characteristics. CEO Harby Yang has said each location is designed to reflect the character of its local city.
The Chandler opening lands inside a significant tenant reshuffling on the mall's south side. Din Tai Fung will occupy 14,000 square feet across three spaces in the same renovation footprint. The south-side project also includes a new patio, a relocated splash pad, and a new entrance, with the broader transformation expected to run through September 2027.
Who is behind Wagyu House?
Wagyu House is a concept of Chubby Group, a hospitality operator focused on wagyu beef. CEO Harby Yang leads the company. The Chandler location will be the group's first in Arizona.
Chandler Fashion Center is a regional mall in Chandler, roughly 30 miles southeast of Scottsdale. The wealth audience's interest here is the operator pedigree and the Din Tai Fung pairing, which signals the mall's landlord is chasing a dining-destination play rather than a standard food-court refresh.
Wagyu House is targeting a fall 2027 opening at Chandler Fashion Center.
