Thomas was super helpful for our first time. Everything that he recommend was amazing! Will be back again soon!

The Food here is really good. Desert is also super great. However the Service is amazing!

Came here again on 5/9 for Mother's Day and it wasn't as crowded as I thought it'd be. Neil was our server and he was very pleasant, patient, and thoughtful. Would recommend coming here again! read more

First off, I'd like to thank Tyler for taking such great care my party. He cooked our premium meat to perfection, snuck away empty plates that crowded our table, and tended to all of our requests. Attentive and friendly. Tyler made our second experience at this restaurant very memorable. We sat down around 8 pm on a Monday (6/22) to a full house, but the entire staff didn't seem to have trouble with handling everything. The self serve bar was always stocked and looked clean. Everything tasted delicious. No one got hurt except for all the cow and fish I consumed that night. My only two complaints were that we only had 90 minutes to grub (which is obviously restaurant policy...lol) and there was only chocolate soft-serve at the moment (it was near closing time, but that honestly didn't stop me from getting 3 servings anyway). Ok those weren't really complaints...issa joke, people I'm not a psychic, but I do foresee myself visiting Chubby Cattle in Cerritos for the third time in the future--and I doubt I will be disappointed! Well done, y'all! Or...medium done (to my liking)! read more

Vy was very helpful and super sweet! Made my birthday extra special. The food is great too! read more

SO DISAPPOINTED!!!!! Maybe this is totally my fault, but I had NO IDEA the AYCE did NOT pertain to EVERYTHING you purchased in the tier you selected. We selected the GOLD (middle of the road) and when shown how to use the ordering system, realized the AYCE meats only pertained to the super thin cuts! YOU CAN ONLY GET ONE ROUND of the thick cut A5 Wagyu type. The drink selections seemed impressive at first, but it's really nothing more than "serve yourself" fountain drinks, which includes 2 types of milk tea. No big deal. The cold section is really disappointing. A few vegetables & fruits, Kim chi, which you can barely see due to the dry ice smoke that covers this section. Nothing to brag about. Sizzler does a better job! The dessert area is mixed with a curry & stew pots and an auto dispenser rice machine that plops a serving of rice in your bowl. There are also mini hamburgers, mashed sweet potato and corn cheese (there was absolutely NO CHEESE) in aluminum tins next to the Hokkaido cream cheese tarts & Portuguese Egg tarts in the warmer. We arrived at 4:45 pm on a Wednesday evening. NOT CROWDED AT ALL, but after we checked in,we were told it would be a 15-20 min wait (?).... The restaurant was literally empty! (see photo). We waited 15, then asked what the problem was. She told me they were waiting to change servers to the night shift crew, which should be seamless to the customer, shouldn't it? ... but the least you should do is tell us as it looks strange that we are made to wait when the restaurant is literally EMPTY! There is also a 90 min time limit and your server will remind you numerous times, WHICH MADE ME FEEL RUSHED. There were 4 of us, so the bill including tip WHICH WAS ADDED ON FOR US... came out to over $100 per person. Sure it advertises AYCE, but make sure you know... that does NOT include everything AND you only have 90 min to manually order, have them deliver, cook it yourself and eat, before they bring you your bill... and don't let the door hit you in the rear. read more

Second time we came to this location and just as great, or even better than our first experience! The staff is always welcoming and our waiter was very attentive to us! He was in charge of the two tables surrounding us and probably more so he was running around everywhere but even so he still shared little stories with us while cooking our meat! Love all the meat, the restaurant decorations, the overall vibe is always a good time :) will be coming back and alway recommend this place to our friends! read more

Came in for my bday dinner! Worth it to get beef tongue! Self serve side dishes and a variety of desserts. Service is quick and attentative. Chae was my server, she is really friendly and happy to explain any questions you have. She came by the table often and made grill changes often so the meat wouldn't be too charred. The fruit here is always juicy, they have lychee here. Make sure to get membership, only $30 for a year and they give you $58 dinner for free. Good music too! The boba drinks are a separate cost and they have a variety of self serve drinks! Hot tea and slushies. read more

Great food and excellent service! Our waiter, Darryl, was very friendly and attentive, always making sure we were well taken care of. The quality of the food was outstanding the meat, vegetables, sauces, drinks, and appetizers were all delicious. The only downside was the restaurant's ventilation system. It seemed to work slowly and didn't remove the smoke very effectively, which made it a bit difficult to breathe at times. Compared to RH, RH has the better ambiance, décor, and indoor air quality. This location is smaller, with tables placed quite close together, making the space feel a little cramped. Overall, though, the food and service were excellent. read more

This is the first time at the Cerritos location and it did not disappoint! I've been to the Rowland heights location and I thought the service couldn't get any better from there, but I was wrong. Moses really took care of us and made sure everything was good. He cooked our meats, changed our grill a couple of times, and even brought us a burger knowing that it is hard to come by at the self service section. Honestly, when it comes to tier selection, the silver tier was perfect for us. Gold is cool too but silver had a lot of good cuts of wagyu choices as well. I really enjoyed the seafood selection. The Argentina shrimp was huge and really sweet! The sushi on the other hand was good too but they were super heavy on the rice. The selection of side dishes was abundant ranging from wagyu burgers to corn cheese. The self service rice and miso was a nice addition. The desserts like the layered cake and cheese egg tarts weren't the best tasting, but the selection of fruits and ice cream topped off our experience. I left feeling super full but satisfied. Meat sweats for days but worth it! read more

Went here with my friend right when they opened in the morning, and we got Josh as our server. Honestly, he made the experience. He was super kind, attentive, and just genuinely friendly the whole time.But it wasn't just Josh. From the girl at the front who welcomed us in, to the other servers and food runners, everyone was so nice. I don't think people realize how much good service impacts an experience, and this place definitely got that right. One thing I really loved was the self-serve area. They had everything from rice, drinks, and sides available for you to grab yourself, so you don't have to keep asking the workers for every little thing. It made the whole experience feel so much smoother and convenient. The food was SO good. We got the Gold Tier and pretty much tried everything. The meat was amazing, and the dessert was a perfect way to end the meal. We got the matcha dessert with ice cream, and together it was chef's kiss. We came right at opening, but honestly, within about 10 minutes the place was already getting packed, which says a lot. Overall, such a cool spot with great food and even better people. Definitely worth checking out! read more

1st time here and although slightly pricey, it's worth it! We ordered from the silver menu. They have a bunch of great cuts. I also loved how they have some sushi item included like the yellowtail carpaccio! They also have "buffet" style veggies, fruits and the drinks are included (soda, lemonade, hot teas, milk teas, slushy). Ice cream is also available! We will def be returning! Big shout out to Michael F. for the awesome service!! Not only was he friendly but helpful from menu selection to assisting with grilling. Always with a smile on his face and just great!! TY Chubby Cattle for having employees like him and I hope you guys appreciate him!! read more

Aaron at Chubby Cattle Cerritos was an amazing server. Came in with a smile and helped us with our food. I would definitely recommend!

AYCE bbq for a decent price. Went on a Tuesday evening - def use the Yelp waitlist, it took us about 30 minutes to get a table, so you can plan ahead with it. The parking lot is busy, but you'll be able to find a spot a little further out. Had the Silver choices, which had Wagyu but no A5 grade. There's a bar for beverages, fruit, Wagyu soup and curry, corn cheese / sweet potato cheese, veggies, and dessert. The meats are pretty thinly sliced and the trays are exactly what's pictured when you order - 4-5 pieces per tray, so may want to order up if you're a bigger group. The thinly sliced meats make a little tough to enjoy - you don't really taste too much. There are some thicker cut choices but wasn't a fan of the seasoning on them. The meat quality was overall OK, but it is all you can eat - so can't expect too much. Also - was not a fan of the sushi (outside of the wagyu one), definitely on the fishy side. Overall, it's not bad but I personally would prefer Mikiya if I had a choice. read more

I came here today to celebrate my fiancée's graduation, and since it was our first time, we weren't sure what to expect. We decided to go with the Diamond tier, and right away our server, Moses, made the experience great. Before we even started, he recommended that we download the Chubby Club app so we could earn points. They were also running a promo for the Chubby Plus membership, and I ended up signing up since we've been to their sibling restaurants like Mikiya and Niku X. The membership gave us the member pricing, which already saved us about half of what the membership cost, so it was an easy decision. Moses took his time walking us through the menu page by page on the screen, answered all of our questions, and even pointed out some of his personal favorites. That really helped since there were so many options. We tried almost everything on the menu, and what stood out to us was the variety with seafood and meat. The sushi and seafood were a nice balance because the A5 Wagyu can get pretty rich and heavy. Our favorites were definitely the specialty items, especially the A5 Wagyu short rib, A5 Wagyu finger meat, Wagyu nigiri, and A5 Wagyu sirloin. Definitely the salmon carpaccio and nigiri are worth the order and can help balance out the meal. The other AYCE items were also really good, especially the ribeye and tender meat. We also loved the open food bar setup with vegetables, sides, and dessert. Overall, we had an amazing experience and would definitely come back. Moses provided excellent service and made our celebration feel even more special. read more

One of my top AYCE KBBQ spots! Yes, it's pricey, but the quality absolutely delivers. You get premium cuts, gorgeous marbling, flavor and generous variety. The A5 Striploin is melt-in-your-mouth magic. And the A5 Wagyu Foie Gras Nigiri + A5 Wagyu Uni Caviar Nigiri are luxurious little bites of happiness. My go-tos are the Beef Tongue Platter and the Wagyu Brisket, dabbled in their Special Salt. Honestly, there are no bad choices here. Every bite is yummy! Ordering is easypeasy. Just tap the proteins on the tablet to send orders to the kitchen. Meanwhile, you can make unlimited trips to the buffet bar for milk teas, banchan, wagyu sliders, dessert and more. Big shoutout to Neil, Kayla, and Kevin for taking great care of us over our past visits. The servers are sociable, attentive, and quick with grill changes, so we're never stuck cooking on a sad, crusty grill. The vibes are always fun and electric! Tip: there's a 90-minute limit with the last call at 70 minutes. Order up to 10 items every 5 minutes. Be prepared to come hungry and leave mesmerized! read more

Less than two weeks ago, my wife and I were here and had an amazing time with Charlie's excellent service. This time we are here for my son's birthday and him being a club member, he got his silver tier on the house. Knowing that, I've really gotten my monies worth for my membership and with my own birthday coming up in a couple of months, I will definitely get more than my monies worth so that has solidified my decision to continue to keep my club membership. This visit we got Moses as our server who was as good of a server as Charlie. I think we need to learn to cook and eat faster so we don't run short of our 70 minutes, but when you have so much to choose from, 70 minutes is just not enough, but I truly understand it because of how well received Chubby Cattle is to the city of Cerritos. I understand the cost of even the silver tier being higher than most Korean BBQ restaurants, but the quality of the Wagyu beef served here at chubby cattle makes the difference in price of other AYCE Bbq restaurants. read more

Had a fantastic time ! I frequent chubby cattle with my friends who have memberships and we came today for his birthday. It was AWESOMEEEEE. Freddie is the GOAT and he helped our party of 10 super well. They take big party reservations and we didn't have to wait much at all. Parking here is free which is always a plus :) Thank you Freddie and thank you Neil (who has been my server in the past and he's also GOATed) Def will come back with my friends. Don't skip out on the sushi! It's just as good as the meat! And their wagyu sliders are delicious. read more

This location is the absolute best chubby cattle kbbq experience I've had ! From being greeted to our server (Moses) who was an absolute bonus to our dining experience while kindly checking up & informing us about the menu selections. We enjoyed our time so much, we chose to join the club! Everything was delicious, except 2 items. I did not enjoy the lobster roll, definitely did not need (minced up cilantro) & the watermelon rubbery/hard to bite! I did appreciate the self serve stations & tablet menu, making it easier to order. See ya soon! read more

Chubby Cattle Cerritos is easily one of the most impressive AYCE BBQ experiences I've had in Orange County. The quality of the meat was outstanding, especially the wagyu selections. Every cut was beautifully marbled, tender, and packed with flavor. Whether grilled lightly or cooked a little longer, the meats remained juicy and incredibly satisfying. You can really tell that the restaurant focuses on quality ingredients rather than just quantity. I also loved how easy the ordering process was through the tablet. Everything arrived quickly, allowing us to try a variety of meats, appetizers, and sides throughout the meal without long waits. The atmosphere was modern, lively, and energetic, making it a great place for celebrations, date nights, or gathering with friends. Despite how busy the restaurant was, the service remained attentive and efficient throughout our visit. If you're a wagyu lover or simply looking for an elevated AYCE BBQ experience, Chubby Cattle Cerritos is definitely worth the visit. Between the premium meats, fun dining experience, and excellent service, it's a place I'll gladly come back to again. read more

First time at a Chubby Cattle. Staff are friendly and very attentive. Great place to gather and have good food. However, the AYCE experience is way different IMO. The meats, shrimp, sushi, and specialties are ordered through a computer program. Very forward thinking. The Curry Wagyu mixed with rice was simply tantalizingly delicious. The Wagyu Steak is 1/4" thick cooking pretty quickly. The pork belly was fantastic along with the large shrimp . Hint: the large shrimp? Suck the head like a crawfish. The smorgasbord bars are set up differently. Sauces, vegetables, fruits and desserts along with 3-4 hot food areas. Inside is very tight but walkable. Just be cognizant when walking around bcz the kitchen does have very hot foods coming out through the walk paths. For the initial price of $58, enjoy the experience and as much Wagyu and large shrimp as possible. For this price up to Premium, I can find better but it's worth a try at least once. Highly recommend, It's expensive IMO but one must try at least once to see and feel it. read more

4/11/26 First time here to celebrate my anniversary dinner. I have heard a lot of good things about chubby cattle but never experienced it. We joined the waitlist two hours prior to dining and the time frame worked out. After checking in, we waited another 5 mins before getting seated. Our server Moses was friendly and informative of how the whole dining experience goes. The limited dining time definitely creates some anxiety but it did not affect the amount of food we could devour. Touchscreen ordering was responsive and the left hand corner timer was helpful to check when we could order and how much time we had left. I was impressed by their selection of drinks: hot teas, milk teas, slushies and soda bar. The condiment bar was small but had all the pertinent ingredients. Nice selection of fruits and a great hot food bar area and lastly desserts. Again, I missed out on more than a few things because I enjoyed the A5 meat way too much. We got the gold tier and it was phenomenal. The server cooks the fancy meat and we cook the rest. A5 was just melt in your mouth delicious. Loved the grill grates but must keep a close eye to prevent over cooking the meat. My husband also loved the plate meat. He said it was also super tender and flavorful. The dipping sauce is the bomb. Salmon sashimi fresh. wagyu foi gras. I like my meat a bit more cooked so I put it on the grill for a few seconds and greatly enjoyed it. The hand rolls were good too. Tom yum soup was nice and spicy. Loved it. The overall meat delivery and server check in was very good. Moses also came over to cook for us a few times which was nice. Before we visited, we told ourselves there is absolutely no need to join the chubby club. Well, one meal in, we felt very different and decided to join. Looks like we will be coming back to enjoy this very, very soon. Thank you, Moses for a great dining service! Cheers to the founder David! You really brought the amazing high end Asian buffet concept to the states. Your group truly put in a lot of research into an easy to navigate ordering platform, the selection of food and beverages to the top tier quality of meats and seafood! Customer for life as long as my wallet can afford it. read more

Came here to try the Chubby Cattle BBQ Cerritos location after visiting a few of their other spots, and I was curious how this one would be. From what I've noticed, most locations in this chain are pretty consistent when it comes to quality and service. The food here is really fresh. The meats were good quality, and I also really liked the hot and kitchen items. There's a good variety, so it doesn't feel repetitive even if you come back. The vibe is fun and casual, and the space feels cozy even though it's not too big. Staff were friendly and attentive, and big thanks to our server, Ranier , he made the whole experience more fun and memorable. I could even call him right from my table, which was super convenient. One thing I really like about this location is how convenient it is. You can join the Yelp waitlist when you're still about 2-3 miles away, which gives you more flexibility and saves time. I haven't really seen that at other locations, so it's a nice plus here. Also, there were plenty of parking spots right in front when I came I'd come back again when I'm in the area. read more

First time trying out this location. This location is smaller than the Rowland Height location. The self service bar is also a lot smaller. We got the silver tier to try. The meat selection is the same as the other locations but I have to say the meat tasted a lot better at this location. The meat plates are more flavorful and tender. I am glad this location is closer for us to come back again. Service was excellent. Neil served us tonight and he was attentive. He made sure we received all of our dishes thru out the night. The milk tea here is better too. Not as water down like the one at the RH location. Super easy to find parking here. Definitely will come back again. read more

I'm a member of the chubby group and have tried a few of their restaurants. Came here with the hubby for a late lunch early dinner and we were both left unimpressed. Service was efficient and attentive. All the servers were friendly and approachable. The Chubby group has their formula down. Almost Starbucks like, the put enough design effort to elevate the interiors to enhance the dining experience. Asian enough without being gaudy. We've tried all three tiers of their meat levels and this time we settled for the silver as we didn't silver and gold when we've visited their shabu places. Perhaps we should have stuck to the highest level of meat. Earlier in the year we went to the little Tokyo location and truly loved it. Don't get me wrong ñ, everything was good and delicious, just not as delicious as the little Tokyo location. I'll definitely keep in mind that the higher level of meat does make a difference. The Argentinian red shrimp were massive and delicious and unfortunately decided to try it out towards the end. Theres a whole drink station with milk teas, slushes and sodas. Another station with some desserts and veggies. It's worth the price, more so if you are a member. read more

Sam was absolutely amazing! He was incredibly quick and efficient, but still so attentive to our table and all the tables around him. He made sure everything was taken care of, checked in often, and kept the experience fun with his great sense of humor.

Each plate came out was a great sampler plate so it won't fill you up very quickly. Between the excellent service and delicious food, this was an easy 5-star experience. We will definitely be coming back. Sushi was good but nothing special (expected, but thought I'd mention) nigiri has pretty high rice to fish ratio. Sauce bar, nothing crazy. Pretty standard. High key Sam might be the reason we come back LOL. read more

Amazing experience at this location. The wait was a bit long, so I recommend checking in and shopping around nearby while you wait. The food quality was excellent--everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. Since it was our first time, the waiter was very friendly and helpful in guiding us on what to order, which made the experience even better. The ambiance was also nicely done. The space felt clean and well-decorated, and the ventilation was spot on. Unlike many KBBQ spots that can get smoky and stuffy, this place stayed comfortable throughout the meal.

We tried to dine here today to avoid the Father's Day rush tomorrow, but unfortunately the experience was frustrating before we could even get a table. The waitlist was already closed, and to make matters worse, they don't accept reservations. We were really looking forward to celebrating Father's Day here with our family, but standing around for hours hoping to get seated simply isn't realistic. I understand that popular restaurants get busy, but there has to be a better system in place for customers. It's disappointing because we genuinely wanted to support and enjoy the restaurant, but the current process makes it very difficult for families to plan ahead. I hope management considers implementing a more customer-friendly reservation or waitlist system in the future. read more

First time here and to start off, customer service was impeccable and amazing. We had 1 gentleman (forgot his name) and 1 waitress named Vy- they both worked fantastic together and were kind, helpful, and friendly. The food was delicious, top quality, and well worth the money. It was definitely filling and they had a lot of choices to try. I also liked their bar with sides, desserts, and drinks to choose from on your own. Overall the important part of service and food was well worth the experience. However, the only reason for the 1 star removed was because of how humid and hot it was inside. It made it a bit hard to feel comfortable while dining in an already packed space. If their AC improved, I would change my opinion, but for now it's the only downside to this restaurant. read more

When we arrived at the restaurant, we explicitly informed the staff that my daughter has a severe peanut and tree nut allergy. They pointed out the safe items on the menu, and I only ordered from that approved list. Shortly after eating, my daughter complained that her lip was itching, and she quickly began having a severe allergic reaction, including shortness of breath. Because she has asthma, this respiratory distress became a life-threatening emergency, and I had to rush her to the car to administer her EpiPen. When I returned inside to inform the staff, I asked them to double-check our order. While they initially insisted that nothing we ordered contained nuts, they eventually discovered that the menu had recently been updated and one of the meats we were served was topped with a peanut sauce. We are from Arizona and were in town specifically for my daughter's track meet the following day; this was supposed to be her pre-competition dinner. Instead, she suffered a major allergic reaction involving respiratory distress, lip swelling, and a bloody nose. When I asked management how they intended to rectify this severe safety failure, they offered only to remove her specific item from the bill. I previously visited a different location of this chain in April and had a wonderful experience, which is why I trusted them with my family. I am deeply disappointed not only by the severe cross-contamination and inaccurate ingredient information, but by the management's complete lack of accountability regarding a life-threatening medical emergency. If you or your family members have food allergies, I highly advise against eating here. I will never return. read more
