Chubby Nori. Chubby Cattle, dishing hot pot for nearly six years in Chinatown, is undergoing a rebrand to a new concept based on Miyazakigyu Wagyu beef. Meanwhile, owner David Zhao and his crew have opened its second floor as a comfy temaki-style sushi bar called Chubby Nori in partnership with Boston’s Matsunori.

Now in its soft-opening phase, they’re keeping the menu small — just a few appetizers (chawanmushi, salmon cups, truffle edamame, and seaweed salad), plus a decent selection of hand rolls (figure $7 and under) and some premiums, such as miso butter cod and scallop (shown below, both $9.25), as well as specials (Korean barbecue Wagyu or A5 Miyazaki Wagyu with truffle pate, each $16.50).
