I took my best friend and her partner to Chubby Cattle for the first time and our server, Moses, took our experience to the next level! He explained the menu very thoroughly and was very quick to help us out (grilling, menu suggestions). He made my friends' first time here very memorable and we all plan to come back very soon. Thanks Moses!! read more

The food was incredibly fresh and tasty, especially considering the price. What an amazing value--good food, fun atmosphere, and friendly/attentive service (Chae was wonderful!). It's a rare combination to find these days. Will be returning without hesitation. read more

Overall nice experience here. The special A5 Wagyu are indeed delicious and tender. This mainly pertains to the gold tier. The rest of the AYCE section meats were ok mostly while some are above average. Service was nice and attentive Love the myriad choices of desserts, vegetables, drinks and fruits. Not so sure if I'd come monthly to sign up for the membership. But for those that love to eat here frequently then I think it's worth getting. Overall I'd recommend this place for your wagyu cravings. read more

Went in for lunch a little past noon today (Sunday) and was seated immediately. Ryant was our server and he was always checking up on us the whole time we were there. There were a lot of meats to try out and Ryant came to replace the grill several times without us having to ask. We appreciated how he gave us pointers on how to cook the thin lean meat so we didn't overcook it. Ryant, along with the rest of the team were quick to remove all the finished plates quickly so the table didn't get overcrowded. I love that the ordering screen gives you an option to choose whether or not to have the meats come pre-sauced. There are also sushi nigiri and carpaccio options when you need a break from the meats. They have a self service station with some fruits and vegetables. The lettuce was out when we arrived but was quickly refilled. Overall, today's visit went very well because of Ryant's exceptional service and we plan to visit again. read more

Back again.... Less than an hour wait time on a Friday at 5ish, which was great. This time Ryant was our server, and he was wonderful. Cooked our Full Blood to perfection. He also was super sweet in between our rounds, helping us continue to cook our meat well. Not too stuffy tonight. Great ambiance. Will be back soon. read more

We celebrated our coworkers birthday today and made reservations for 16 people. Tyler was our server and I know they were short of staff, but he was able to manage everything smoothly. He was able to take care of all 16 customers and no complaints at all kudos to him and the team. I have a silver status and was able to give my whole party a beer. I haven't came here, disappointed since they open and every waiter has been excellent. Ty tyler read more

Jordan gave an amazing customer service for my table. He was very laidback and friendly and fun to talk to. This was my first time trying chubby cattle and the attentiveness of the staff were on point, especially for Labor Day weekend! The wagyu selection for the silver tier was good. I feel like everything included was definitely worth the price. The dishes were very delicious, I don't want to glaze but it's very satisfying taste. Also note! If you're trying this spot for the first time, it's very laid back and chill good vibes. Best to go with a group of good people! Don't get your fancy clothes smelling like smoke! Definitely recommend this location, it's a bit small but had all the essentials. 10/10 Going to have a food coma lol read more

8/21/26 We come here once a month for our high end meat fix. I noted they added the Wagyu burger to the digital ordering platform which is way better than how it was before. I barely ever saw the burgers come out since people camp out for it and take the entire tray. At least with it being brought out by your server, you can actually enjoy one if you'd like. We had a male server to start when soon he went on break. A lovely lady named Annie took over our table service. We were over crowding our grill with beef belly and even at the lowest heat, it was on . Annie quickly came to our rescue and cooked the meat properly without burning. She was so sweet and didn't want my kids to get burned. As she helped us cook the meat to perfect temp, she was providing education on the proper way to cook it, and when to remove it for the perfect texture and temp. She truly appreciated her knowledge and great service. She checked on us frequently throughout the meal and even told us the promo they were having to upgrade our membership. We passed on it since we don't dine often but as I am driving to chubby mart now, I have deep regrets we didn't upgrade lol I knew from how she presented herself she was just not an ordinary server. My girls who are 8 and 10 also took note of her wonderful service and agreed she must be a manager. In the end, I asked her and she confirmed she is a manager. How lucky were we to have been served by her. I just wanted to give a special shout out to Annie for proving stellar service! This is what a true manager should look like. Runs a tight ship but not afraid to get their hands dirty down in the pits! Thank you, ANNIE!! read more

Came in around 1pm on a Sunday. The wait was 30 min for two. Im sure it gets way more. It's pretty pricy. $58 for the cheapest tear. Our meal was a bit under $150 for two people and no other à la cart items. The place is so nice. So well kept. I have never been to a kbbq place that wasn't overwhelmed with smoke or dark. This one had no smoke issue and it was so clean. My favorite part tho is the staff. There's this beefy tattoo one that just made it so much to eat there. Our waiter was Ryant. He was cute as well and also very attentive. Always cleaning our table and asking if we needed anything. Honestly I never felt like I couldn't get service. I loved their self serve and meat selection was great just with the silver. I'd love to come again and see what other meats are with the other options. Just be prepared to wait if you don't get here right when it opens. read more

Came here on my day off, and I had a great time. The shrimp was my favorite today. Was so full tho I didn't have any room for dessert. The service was good too. My server Jordan really took care of me. Always good seeing him. Love the music too. This place is my fave. read more

So this is my 2nd time here. This is solely based on their Health & Safety Food letter grading. They have a C! I've eaten at grades B before but C is where I draw the line. I didn't take a picture but it was dated sometime this month Aug, 2026. For the recent times we're in and with all the recalled food alerts AND still paying $60 per person (for the cheapest/silver option)!!.... Yea... don't want to risk it. I will definitely return but when they fix their health violations! Hope it's sooner than later. read more

Great service, great food, great atmosphere. Went on a weekday and it was not madness like the weekends. The wait was no more than 15min! Thomas was our server and he was amazing! Very attentive and checked in to make sure we were good. There are 3 tier options, we went with gold. Everything taste the same to me as long as I have the chubby cattle salt and Yakini sauce. Of course all the meat options were very juicy, tender and cooked to your own perfection. They do have a strict 90min policy, you can see on your ordering screen how much time you have left. There is a self serve bar in the back of the restaurant with all items listed under the self serve station. You also fill your own drinks with variety of options: fountain drinks, lemonades, milk teas which I absolutely loved! The passion fruit lemonade was my favorite. Highly recommended, def one of my favorite places! Chubby cattle if you're reading this please sell me your salt Also after you're done eating, walk off the calories in the plaza! There's target, Nordstrom rack, tj maxx & more! read more

"Chow chow birthday hot pot BBQ chub chub birthday we love you!". Not sure if those were the exact words, but love this birthday song, such a great way to have the birthday celebrant feel special! Our server was Chae and she was excellent, also very helpful and kind. Love getting the gold tier because the meat is top notch and this time that we went was for a birthday celebration which we had 2 family members that went here for the first time. Such a great tasting experience for our whole party, well worth it with every single bite. As a loyal Chubby member, I would recommend this to anyone who wants to appreciate quality meat and excellent service, so join the waitlist and get ready to chow down! read more

After the movie, we finally tried a Japanese BBQ spot in Cerritos that had been on my radar for quite some time--and it definitely lived up to the hype! They specialize in premium Wagyu beef, but they also offer pork, sushi, dumplings, and so many other delicious options. Every single cut of meat was incredibly tender and packed with flavor. It was honestly hard to pick a favorite! It's all-you-can-eat, and the price also includes soft drinks, iced tea, juices, desserts, and fresh fruit, which made the experience even better. A special shoutout to our server, Thomas, who was absolutely exceptional. He even gave us a lesson on how to cook each cut to perfection, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Overall, everything we tried was fantastic. Great food, excellent service, and an amazing dining experience. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

I usually frequent the flagship Rowland Heights location but this one is more conveniently close to home. I think I actually prefer this location now since it's more low key, but the quality and service is still on point. There are some changes to the menu that I don't remember from before: pre-fried chicken cartilage, durian and cheese sweet potato(!) dessert, and a new garnish, chopped serrano peppers. They were all equally delicious. The cartilage was great to snack on in between waiting for meats to finish grilling. I really like that the menu is still evolving and changing because it keeps things fresh. Our server Kevin was amazing. I feel like at most ayce bbqs I'm fighting to get grill changes or to correct missing items from my order, but Kevin was extremely proactive and made sure all our needs were met throughout the meal. A++ to him and his infectious smile. read more

Food 4.5/5. Service 5/5 stars thanks to our server Ranier. He was welcoming knowledgeable and attentive and kind not only towards us but to his other tables as well. We chose the silver tier, we weren't super hungry. Diamond is good if you want a lot of food and the premium items. Perfect portions for me and hubs, limited just a few at a time. So food stays fresh. I liked the Wagyu meats with marbling for a nice blend of protein and fats. Hand rolls were generously packed with yellowtail and salmon. I got so full. Lots of drinks options too, sodas, fruit juices, iced milk tea, hot tea. Got the hot tea twice, it's just lukewarm. For an extra fee you can get other drinks like ones with boba or alcohol. For desserts I got egg tarts you can grab them from the warmer. Plenty of quality fruit options which were really fresh sweet and juicy. Couple things felt off for me like the seating process and seat I was in. First on the waitlist, I checked in and was told it would be a longer wait and to keep checking the yelp app. As we walked back to our car, we immediately got a text that our table was ready. That part seemed a bit disorganized and could have been handled more smoothly. I hope the ripped up seat in our booth gets fixed cuz the tape job was rough and uncomfortable Aside from minor mishaps I still would recommend the food and service here. read more

When Chubby Cattle Cerritos opened last year, they didn't initially have a waitlist and the wait was always hours long so it kind of fell off our radar for a while. They now have a Yelp waitlist, so some friends and I decided to finally try it out. Even after getting on the waitlist on the way to the restaurant, there was still about a 20 minute wait once we arrived. There are three tiers on the menu, silver ($58 regular, $50 member), gold ($78 regular, $65 member), and diamond ($88 regular, $75 member). The gold tier lets you choose two single servings from the special items menu. The diamond tier adds one extra special item and lets you order four single servings. We decided to go with the gold tier. One friend is a Chubby Club member, so two of us received the $13 discount. All ordering is done on a touch screen at the table, and then a server brings your selections to the table. Special items on the menu are cooked by your server, and you cook all other items yourself. After figuring out the ordering system and putting in our initial order, we headed to the self-serve area. The aisle next to our table was a little narrow. Many of the items in the self-serve area were empty or near empty, and honestly, nothing stood out as something I had to have. The drink station has soft drinks, two slushie flavors, two milk teas, and three different lemonades. Boba drinks and lattes are available for ordering on the touch screen at your table for an additional cost. I just had water. Some desserts are also available in the self-serve area. Things started out pretty well as our orders were initially coming out pretty quick. Many of the special items had a nice presentation in gold trays, and your server cooks those for you to perfection. The grill never got smoky which was nice. Some of the items we had included A5 Miyazaki Waygu short rib, A5 Miyazaki ribeye, A5 Wagyu Otoro thick cut, A5 brisket, A5 lean meat, Wagyu uni caviar nigiri, lobster roll, beef tongue, prime angus skirt steak, Margra lamb, black pepper Wagyu cubes, salmon & yellowtail carpaccio, shrimp tempura, and fried calamari. There is a 90 minute dining limit, and unfortunately we didn't receive any of our orders for the last 30 minutes. Our server checked with the kitchen a few times, but no further food was ever brought out. The special and regular menu items we had were all very good. However, the self serve station didn't impress, and no food for the last 30 minutes was a total buzz kill. At this price point, I expected a better experience. Chubby has great ratings, so I'm assuming we just came on an off night. Despite a disappointing first experience, I would try them again, or maybe visit another location. read more

Freddy our server was amazing. He even found my old wagyu X membership from Rowland height and got me an upgrade to the new membership here. Why couldn't chubby curry in Beverly Hills find it? Anyways, the meat here even in silver tier is top notch. My favorite was definitely the beef tongue and the black pepper cubes. But everyone of them aside from the steak I liked. No complaints at all. I wish the time was 2 hours instead of 1 hour 30 min since I have a swallowing problem due to my disability so I can't eat very quickly. But I guess that's just a me problem. This place is busy all the time do expect wait time. read more

Delicious food and great service as usual. Jordan was great. Will definitely keep coming back!!!

Came here with a group of friends, including a few who had never been to Chubby Cattle before, and we had an amazing experience from start to finish! A huge shoutout to our server, Ryant, who provided truly top-tier service. Since a few of us were first-timers, we were a bit confused about the special items and accidentally ordered six of the exact same dish thinking it was six pieces per item. Ryant noticed, proactively checked in to make sure we ordered correctly, and when some of us wanted to switch, he gladly swapped two of them out for other choices without any fuss. Throughout the meal, he was incredibly attentive by frequently checking in to make sure we were enjoying the food, clearing empty plates right away, and regularly swapping out our grill without us even needing to ask. As for the food, everything was fresh and delicious. My friends loved the wide variety of meats and all the different food options. For me personally, the unlimited milk tea and the wagyu curry were absolute standouts. Overall, fantastic food and stellar hospitality. Ryant definitely made our visit memorable. We will definitely be back! read more

Episode 3: The Head Samurai VIP Experience Okay, apparently we have officially leveled up at Chubby Cattle. Today we came for lunch and somehow got the VIP treatment because guess who personally served our table?! SAM. THE HEAD SAMURAI HIMSELF. And WAIT A MINUTE... Since when did management come with a GQ wardrobe AND gym upgrade?! Our guy walked over in his GQ fit looking BUFF. I'm sitting there thinking, Sir... are you serving us lunch or are you about to shoot a Men's Health cover after this?! Last time we came, Sam was MANAGING managing. Nonstop walking around, table to table, grill to grill, making sure everybody was on their toes. Today? THE MANAGER BECAME OUR SERVER. He stopped all that walking and came straight to our table to take care of us himself. Grill? Perfect. Food? Never ending. Table? Watched like a hawk. Service? Samurai-level precision. At one point I'm looking around thinking, WHO IS MANAGING THE RESTAURANT WHILE THE MANAGER IS OVER HERE SPOILING US?! But that's what makes Sam special. We've watched him go from our favorite server, to manager, to apparently hitting the gym and entering his GQ Head Samurai era ... and he STILL jumps right back in and takes care of us like he always has. That kind of service is why we keep coming back. We came for lunch. We received the Samurai Executive VIP Package. Sam: Head Samurai Fit: GQ Status: Looking BUFF Service: VIP Us: Completely spoiled at this point At this point, I don't even think we're customers anymore... We're founding members of the Sam Fan Club. The Chubby Cattle Samurai Saga continues... read more

Chubby Cattle - Our Slayin' Server Neil - Barbeque Near Me - Cerritos, California

Shoutout to our server, Moses! He was an EXCELLENT server, full of knowledge, helped cook our meat as this was our first time (since posting this review, I have been twice now!) I honestly wish I had taken photos of the meats and food and we ordered, because that is the whole point after all. However, I was so lost in the options, experience, ambiance, in the moment that I did not. However, let me just tell you that this is THE BEST MEAT I HAVE EVER TASTED. The A5 meat literally needs to be cooked for SECONDS on the grill and just melts in your mouth. Steak, A5 wagyu, sushi, lamb, etc. nothing disappointed. The rice dispenser is the coolest thing I have ever seen. So many options of sides to choose from and desserts. We were completely in awe and overwhelmed in the best way! We did opt for the membership and will continue to go to this location (because it is the closest to us). If you go at least once a month as a nice date night treat, this will be completely worth it! read more

We had such a great experience at Chubby Cattle! It's an all-you-can-eat Japanese barbecue restaurant, and we chose the Silver Package, which had plenty of delicious options. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and so much fun to cook at the table. Our waiter, Thomas, was amazing! He explained how everything worked and gave us his honest recommendations. We trusted his choices, and we were so happy we did--everything he suggested was delicious! We enjoyed the experience so much that we signed up for the membership. We will definitely be back! read more

I can't believe it's almost been a year since their soft opening! The quality of the food and the service remains impeccable as ever. The wait wasn't long at all when we went Tuesday dinner. We joined the waitlist when we were within range and our table was ready a lot sooner than we expected. Chae was our server this time and she was so friendly, attentive, and answered our questions. Because of her bright energy, it definitely improved our dining experience as well! We didn't have to wait too long for our orders to come out and all of it tasted so good. My go tos are the salmon carpaccio, beef tongue, and short plate. If I feel like I have room for it, the truffle fries are surprisingly bomb too! If I have any complaint it was that the seat/bench didn't feel stable and moved around, and the spacing was a little awkward because so many people had to walk by our table and the next one to get to the self-serve bar. Also one of the shrimps we ordered was not really fresh and mushy even before cooking. Other than that, its unfortunate their health inspection score from 8.13.2026 went down to a C for even basic safety protocol so I hope they have since remedied the issues and tightened up training standards for the staff. 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

This was our second time coming in two months Had Thomas as our server both times. We got two memberships last visit and went today for my friend's birthday. She somehow didn't see her birthday reward on her app and Thomas and his manager were able to get the free birthday meal still for her, plus the points from last visit in June. We really appreciated that! As always, meats were top tier. We got the Gold status again. Since we had two memberships, we got $13 off each person. Servers are fast and take the empty trays promptly. You can check in on the waiting list on Yelp or in person. We waited over an hour for 4 people on a Sunday at 4pm We love coming here! Will be back again! 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

If you're hunting for a spot where culinary excellence meets hospitality that feels more like a warm family reunion than dining out, look no further. My family and I are self-proclaimed regulars here. We've walked through those doors multiple times, and every single time, I sit there thinking, "There's no way they can top our last visit." Yet, without fail, I leave proven wonderfully, deliciously wrong. This most recent trip was in honor of my father-in-law's milestone birthday, and naturally, the stakes were high. We needed good food, good vibes, and an atmosphere worthy of a celebration. Boy, did Ben and his crew deliver. Let me tell you about Ben. Ben was our waiter, and from the moment he greeted us at the table, he set the gold standard for service. He isn't just friendly--though his bright, welcoming demeanor immediately put us at ease--he is genuinely knowledgeable. When we asked for recommendations, he didn't just rattle off items from the menu; he spoke about the dishes with the passion of a connoisseur, breaking down flavor profiles and helping us curate a spread fit for a birthday king. Throughout the evening, Ben and the rest of the team operated like a well-oiled machine. Drinks were never empty, plates were cleared with practiced grace, and the kitchen sent out food that was, as always, absolute perfection. Every bite was a reminder of why we keep coming back. If you are looking for incredible food and service that goes above and beyond, you have got to come to this place. And here is the ultimate insider tip: when you walk through the door, just ask to sit in Ben's area. Trust me. You literally cannot go wrong. read more
