Does it NOT say AYCE?  Well, be prepared.  Everything (good) on the menu is NOT AYCE!!!
Julie N.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!!

Took our 4 year old on our day date and there was something for everyone! Uni, great meat selection, hand rolls, lobster roll, watermelon, fries, etc oh! And an amazing non alcoholic drinks selection, passion fruit tea, etc - more choices than your usual! And let's not forget the friendly staff! Conveniently located off the 605 fwy by the Cerritos mall!

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.

Kayla P. Was an awesome host! She grilled our meat and taught us about the cuts of meat. Music was great and sounded just right! Food was filling and the alcohol inebriating. All in all good time!

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.

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!

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.

Chubby Cattle Reviews in Other Languages

Ask the Community - Chubby Cattle

How long is wait?

We didn't wait since we had a reservation.

Are there any peanuts or sauces containing peanut/peanut products in any of the food?

There are some sauces that have peanuts which if you let your server know about the nut allergy, they will point out what to avoid and they can omit sauces from any of the meats. They are very accommodating to nut allergies as well as other food… Read more

How much is for 4 people?

$300 to $500

Are 1-year olds free?

It goes by height, 100cm and under is free, 101-130cm is 50%, 131cm+ is full price.

Solo dining allow?

Absolutely!

Is Chubby Tea Cerritos open yet?

Yes.

Can you make a reservation?

They currently do not take reservations unless you own the Chubby Club NFT (24 hours advanced notice).

Do you have to cook your own food?

If you select a menu tier with specialty meat options, your server will cook those for you (usually 1-2 pieces per person), but otherwise, yes, you cook you own meat.

Price? Of meat

The three tiers are approximately $55/$65/$75 without the member discount.

Do you have an option for introverted people who would rather grill their own meats?

You grill your own meats for the most part. The only meats the server grills for you are the 1-2 pieces of premium meat that you might get depending on what menu tier you choose.

Do they open their yelp waitlist? Coming with my family and I have a baby and we want to join ahead of time

You have to join the waitlist in person, or you can place reservations (24+ hours in advance) if you own a Chubby Club NFT.

What time do they REALLY open on Saturdays?

5 pm. Suggest to arrive between 4-4:30 pm to get in early cause the line is out the door...

Can we make a reservation?

They do not take reservations. You will have to show up on the spot and wait list yourself.

Are there a la carte options? Or do I have to get one of the tiered options even though I'm not into beef? (The rest of my family is)

I'm not completely sure if there are, but if you're not into beef there's plenty of sushi options and chicken.

How much for a person?

There are 3 tiers Silver $55 Gold $75 Diamond $85

Is there reservations?

When you walk to the entrance you have to sign in and its usually a very long wait but i think its worth it. I dont think you can do reservations at the cerritos location.

Is this location open?

Yes.

When will this location be open? Please hurry. I'm starving...

It's open now

Is there an estimated completion date?

I'd never been there before, so this review is all about first impressions. As we approached, the sign caught my attention: "Under New Ownership." Outside, an employee sat scrolling on his phone. It was a quiet Sunday around 3 PM, and we were the only patrons in sight. Checking Yelp beforehand had been a bit of a letdown, as their menu featured items they no longer offer. No links were available either. We ordered half a pound of pulled pork, half a pound of brisket, and four pieces of cornbread--all priced reasonably. Their tap selection turned out to be decent. The Cali Squeeze Blood Orange was a standout, and they also seemed to carry Firestone Walker products, including 805. The staff were friendly and responsive, which was refreshing. While the brisket had cooled by the time we got home, it was still tender and flavorful--just like the pulled pork. The real surprise? The chimichurri that accompanied the brisket--an unexpected and delightful touch. Overall, I'd rate the experience as average. While it's clear they've got potential, a bit more effort could turn Wholly Smokes into a go-to spot. Leaning in on those small details would really elevate the experience.

They have fried veggies tempura, soup, cold noodles, assortments of sour pickles veggies, rice papers, mash potatoes, fried rice, japchae, ice cream, and etc. The downside...corn cheese, soft drinks, and etc were not included. Could order thru the tablet. Service was great both time. 2nd time was better. The server came back to change our grill 3 times. Thank you for that. She also cleaned out the finished plates. Meats came out fairly quickly after each order. The only thing I m not too happy about was the service fee over tipping. On the bill, there was a 10% service charge to help cover the staffs' wages?? It was nice to see that no tipping was required, but then it also stated that the 10% service fee was not considered a gratuity. Hmm...why are we expected to help with employee's paycheck? And if we don't give a tip because no tipping required, then we are considered horrible people ? I dunno if there were some agreements with owner and staffs to get paid more with the 10% service charge instead of getting tips...anyways, if I m already needing to help pay for wages then is tipping really necessary? Is like I am giving double to the servers...

I've been avoiding coming to this place since last year when I've read a lot of bad Yelp reviews…read moreabout it - but thought we should give it chance on a less-busy middle-of-the-weekday and arrived about 5pm. It wasn't busy at all - which I was thankful, because in general, if a restaurant is busy, that usually means we don't get good service - SO I was very happy the server came and seated us right away. Our order was taken promptly and was stoked that they had an open bar for sides (buffet-style) to serve myself immediately for the salads, kimchi, sesame oil, seasoning, rice-paper (wolnamssam-yong), radish wrap (Ssam-mu), etc. - because in my experience with other KBBQ restaurants, the servers NEVER come fast enough to refill those sides for you, so I'm super relieved about this place for allowing us full control of that - without my feeling like I have to keep waving down a server. I was also excited to see additional sides offered as part of this very reasonably-priced All-You-Can-Eat! I had Miso-soup, even got Korean Seaweed Roll, Fried-Rice, fruits - Pineapple chunks, Orange slices, Jello (my fave)! They also had Mac-salad, Potato salad, also offered cooked fried chicken, baby clams, crawfish, fried wontons, edamame, eomuk (Korean fish cakes), Japchae (Korean Glass Noodle), etc. Plenty of sides also offered self-serve that you can cook on the grill, like onions, broccoli, mushrooms, etc. I was impressed with their choices at this price point! SO, my recommendation is - give this place a chance - sometimes restaurants do have bad days (as do servers and employees) which can get them a bad Yelp review). Today I appreciated that the servers were helpful and attentive. I LOVED the food: We ordered the Beef Brisket, Marinated Beef Bulgogi, Beef Belly, Pork Belly, Marinated Pork Belly - and yes, ALL included at the same price point (we went for the cheapest menu option) at $24.99 per person - so much value for that low price! Now I'm afraid to post this review because want this place for myself to be my own secret (LOL) - I loved the fact it wasn't crowded for such a huge venue - and we got served right away +++++!

Food: 3/5 Service: 2/5…read moreAmbiance: 3/5 Parking: 3/5 Family friendly: 3/5 Stroller friendly: 4/5 ADA accessible: 4/5 What could improve? Let's start with the good-ish part. Parking was decent on a Wednesday night around 7pm without any lines and we were seated quickly. That's when things weren't as copacetic. Initially we were sat on one burner for 6 people and was exceptionally tight. We asked to split our party to get another burner and was grated with attitude from the make server with a tattoo on his right arm. We asked multiple times to restart our burner because the pilot light kept turning off. According to the waiter, we didn't have enough venting on our grill because of the meat. Second and third time the pilot turned itself off we have to track down a different waiter to restart the light. Service is poor, especially from make server with Polynesian tribal tattoo on right arm. If you don't want to be at work, don't come to work. Next, the buffet line. Great concept: get your own sides. Nothing is labeled, albeit kimchi, fried rice were obvious, but others less so. When we finished the bill came with 18% gratuity included. With this 18% gratuity, I had to track down the waiters/ waitress 3 times to restart our burner, get the you're not worth my time attitude for it. I wanted to like Mr. Lees but with the decent food and subpar service is hard for me to do. I think the saving grace here was my God son pick this place for his graduation dinner. Check it out if you're curious, but for me I'll pass the next time Mr. Lee's pops up in my radar.

It being our first time here, I wasn't sure exactly how their system works but apoun entering we stood by the computers and pos systems for a lil bit, it was loud and crowded and there wasn't a lot of free chairs. But we didn't mind. We were asked how much is our party and were told by the waitress that we can sit wherever we want. We sit in an empty booth and she then comes over to us and tell us we can't sit there.... Oh veh & then proceeds to put us in these horrible tiny seats in front of the walkway of the bathroom with a great view of all the kitchen hallway. We ordered our food and everything was fabulous. Towards the end of our meal my friend says "damn that waitress hates her job, she didn't check in on us one time" it was true. I had to flag her down to bother her for more napkins. Not once did she check in on how everything was or asked us if we needed anything. We asked for some to go boxes and she didn't even have the courtesy to pack it up for us. I did it myself.. to charge a 14.90 service fee and not offer any services is DIABOLICAL. Our bill was close to 170$ and my friend even tipped in cash like 30$ just as a olive branch because maybe she was having a bad day or whatever but the tall waitress with the beautiful curly hair that took the bill had significantly kinder energy and in the short interaction with her I wish she would have been our waitress. ..As we're leaving I look at the table where she moved us from and there's is this nice couple just vibing there.. like damn ok I see how Yall are... shame cuz this place really had the potential to be a vibe... but whatever what you give you get! So have fun with lil miss cranky scaring all your customers with her vibe. I'll never come back! L
