Chubby Cattle is making a move on Texas. The hotpot spot is opening a location in Austin soon. According to this Facebook post, you can expect to see the new eatery open early in 2026. The fast-growing hot pot food chain announced on its website that it will be opening at 2901 S. Capital of Texas Hwy. Unit J01B.
The company is run by co-owners Haibin Yang and David Zhao. Founding partner, Zhao, states on his LinkedIn, “since opening its first restaurant in 2015, Chubby Cattle International has scaled to ten locations across the U.S.”
The Chubby Cattle website goes on to explain the restaurateur’s journey. It writes, “Since opening our first location in Monterey Park in April 2023, Chubby Cattle has rapidly grown. Today, we proudly operate four locations in Los Angeles and six locations across the United States, with our Rowland Heights location serving as our flagship store.”
Specializing in authentic Chinese hotpot, the eatery serves up a plethora of flavorful broths that customers can add fresh meats, seafood, and vegetables to for a communal dining experience. Chubby Cattle is an all-you-can-eat feast that offers premium hotpot, Wagyu BBQ, and exceptional hospitality.
What Now Austin reached out to Zhao and Yang, but did not get a response by the time of publication.
Chubby Cattle has locations stretching as far as Atlanta to Philadelphia and Los Angeles, with more listed as soon to come.
You can expect to see this AYCE hotpot option up and running in the Barton Mall at 2901 S. Capital of Texas Hwy. Unit J01B by early 2026.
