Moses parted the seas and brought us to the A5 wagyu promised land. The meat speaks for itself but the service elevates the experience to another level. First time here and it did not disappoint. Entire staff was amazing and def looking forward to the next dinner here. 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

Food was awesome! Ask for ryant he's the best! A1 service and a5 meats! Moses, chae, Sean and Rainer all came to help as well shout out to them! 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

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

Jordan was our server and he was awesome! He was super attentive and quick. He made our experience so much better. Good food and good service! 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

Staff is very quick and friendly. Moses was very nice and helpful. The food was delicious! My favorites were the Wagyu steak, Wagyu knuckle, chicken karrage, and Wagyu short plate. The beef tongue is also very good here. They also do the steamed egg a bit differently at this location and I like it. The restaurant is pretty big and modern. 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

I had such a great first experience here. The food was flavorful, the service was exceptional, and Moses went above and beyond explaining everything with patience and enthusiasm. The ambience was warm and it was literally a bit hot inside but still inviting. I ended up signing up for the membership because the visit impressed me so much. I'll definitely be returning. 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

Chubby Cattle - Inside - Barbeque Near Me - Cerritos, California

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

Chubby Cattle - Shortly after administering epi pen - Barbeque Near Me - Cerritos, California

Food quality and cleanliness was great. Sean provided great service was very accommodating.

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

We've been to The Chubby Cattle a few times before, but this was our first time at the Cerritos location. The ambiance is pretty much the same as the others, but our server, Moses, did a great job today. He was very helpful in preparing our food and gave us some recommendations for new items we'd never tried. The food is always amazing here. I recommend giving this place a try and asking for Moses as your waiter. He did a great job. 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

awesome food, awesome vibes. Freddie is legit! he helped us with everything and was super attentive

We had such an amazing experience at Chubby Cattle BBQ, and a huge part of that was because of our server, freddie! We truly appreciate his energy, attentiveness, and genuine care throughout our meal. He was so funny, welcoming, and made us feel taken care of from beginning to end. He has such a beautiful energy, and honestly, people like Freddie are the reason I love coming back to this place! The food was incredible as always, but the Tom Yum soup was an AMAZING addition to an already perfect meal. It has crab claws in it as well!!! It added such a delicious, flavorful touch to the experience. Our highlights were definitely the fruity cheek slices, salmon carpaccio, and truffle fries--everything was absolutely delicious! I came in to take advantage of my free bday meal with the membership! This was a perfect way to start the birthday week!! Thank you, Freddie , for making our experience so memorable! Chubby Cattle is lucky to have someone like you on their team. We can't wait to come back!!! read more

Great quality meat even better service. We came right at opening on a Sunday and there was already a line 20 people deep. Our server was Daryl and he was super on top of our table. He would notice when we were struggling to cook the meat and jump in and help us out. The salmon and yellowtail carpaccio ... probably the best quality fish I've ever had at an AYCE restaurant. The brisket... melts in your mouth. It's pre marinated or seasoned so while you have the options for sauces I don't think it's necessary. This place always hits and I'm always surprised at how amazing the quality is every time read more
