Chubby Mart

What to know

When Chubby Mart opened in Koreatown on December 9, 2025, it challenged the idea that top-tier hot pot required high prices and formal service. The owners built an exclusive supply chain to deliver fresh, market-quality ingredients and presented them in a supermarket-style layout so guests could curate their own meals. By combining live seafood, premium cuts, and on-the-spot prep with affordable pricing, Chubby Mart makes elevated hot pot an everyday, social ritual for LA diners.
