I went to cubby cattle for my boyfriend's birthday and thought it was a great place to go for a special occasion. Make sure someone in your party gets there early. The waitlist closes after the lunch rush and reopens for dinner at 4. We got there at 2:45 and the line was beginning to form to get on the 4pm waitlist. Food is good, gold is worth it but silver is fine too. I liked that the waiter grills the specialty meats for you. He also started grilling our meats towards the end, I assume in order to get us out the door quicker. The first time I came here, I thought the ambiance was nice. Well decorated. This time around, I thought it was a bit cramped. Maybe the section I was in this time had less of a walkway because I felt like I was constantly about to run into people when I was getting up for a refill of my drink (the samurai milk tea is great btw). read more

"Still waiting for the wagyu to show up." Took the family out to celebrate for my Dad's 60th with ayce Japanese bbq. I had been to other Chubby Cattle locations before in Little Tokyo (LA) and Monterey Park, so of course I was excited they were opening one up in the Bay Area. We went for Sunday dinner so we knew the wait would be quite long, but it was to be expected. The interior was fun and inviting. Reminiscent of an izakaya with pops of night market decor. Upon seating the timer on the ordering tablet started shortly. Our server explained the ordering system and quickly rushed away. We put in our orders and away we go, 90 minutes to eat as much wagyu as possible. The premium limited options were fantastic, high quality with great marbling on the meat. Next, we tried to load up on as much of the unlimited A5 wagyu brisket. After a few rounds however, I noticed that the marbling was not as I remembered in the LA locations, actually not even close. The other supposed "wagyu" meats were also lacking in marbling, basically just normal choice beef you would find at any kbbq. The short rib cuts were probably the best outside of the limited items you get but overall somewhat of a bummer that they could not deliver on the wagyu experience Chubby Cattle is supposed to promise. The other amenities were nice with some actually solid milk tea, softserve, and fruits. Favorite bite: Full-blood wagyu short rib. read more

This review is long overdue, but I finally got a chance to sit down and talk about my experience. I've always heard about Chubby Cattle and I've always wanted to experience it. I heard the food was great and the quality was top notch, so when I heard that it was coming to the Bay Area, I was STOKED. I kept telling my husband that I wanted to try this place and have it possibly on our rotation. We came sometime in July when they had their soft-opening, and I was SO excited. Somehow their hours weren't updated when we went, and they were open way earlier than what was listed on Yelp. Thankfully, we made the cut to place our names on the waitlist, but it was over a 2 hour wait. Thankfully, Chubby Cattle is nestled in a plaza where there were small bites we can eat while we wait. We ended up getting the text message that our table was ready. The host mentioned if we wanted the bar or a booth. We originally said the bar since we were hungry. I would opt for a booth if you could to be more comfortable. Sitting at the bar is okay, but it didn't seem like you had enough space between other parties to eat. We ended up getting the diamond tier which was $98 per person. It's a similar tier system as Mikiya, their sister restaurant where they have a silver, gold, and diamond tier. Based on what level tier you get, there is a selection of meat and appetizers you can choose from. However since this is their BBQ restaurant, we were limited to 4 choices of the A5 wagyu per person. Everything else was AYCE. REVIEW/EXPERIENCE: I will say that my experience was decent to say the least. They do cut off the waitlist after some time, which was disappointing for coming customers who didn't know they changed their hours. During their soft opening, they were only limiting it to 20 tables, which caused a huge delay in seating everyone in the time they were open. I'm sure that might not be the case now, but you are limited to 90 minutes. It's not a lot of time considering there are multiple parties and some servers may be occupied. The meat selection was good, and they do have options for handrolls, seafood, other choices of meats and sides. All the sides to eat with your meat are located in the back. They do have a nifty rice dispenser which you can choose the portion you want (S-L) and it drops a weighted amount for you in a bowl. There are options to add curry or toppings to your rice, but I didn't do that since I wanted to fully experience the meat. I have to say the passageways are WAY too narrow and you end up having to line dance with the servers to get to and from your table. Even getting your sides and drinks from the back, it was SUPER narrow and you'd have to dance around to get your items. The first round of meats and sides came very quickly, but when it came to the 2+ rounds, our server was occupied with other tables or no where to be found. There were some things that we ordered that mentioned it was still available, but we ended up being told that they were sold out (specifically the scallops and the creme brulee). Sad I wasn't able to try those two things out since it looked great, but probably would be nice if the iPads updated in real time to let customers know. Otherwise, the meats were great. Due to how fatty they were, they did shrivel up a good amount. The A5 tasted great, but the pieces they provided were pretty small. The A5 wagyu foie grais was delicious, as well as the one with caviar (although I didn't taste much from the caviar). Overall, I'm giving this place a 3.5/4 stars. I believe service could have been better but I'm giving it some grace since they were soft-opening back in July. I'll definitely try their other locations out and see if it's a similar experience or different. read more

Oh chubby cattle, where do I start? We had such high expectations because last time my family tried to come here there was a five hour wait and we were not able to get in. this time my brother joined the yelp waitlist which was only 11 minutes, so we had no wait. We were seated at a table Which is kind of like a booth. I had my brother, husband and two kids with me. Our first server talked really fast and was a little hard to understand so were confused about the menu at first. U have to order on a screen which is only on one side of the table which is annoying if you're the one who always has to order and inconvenient if u are not near the screen because u cant view the menu easily. It was difficult to get in and out of the booth every time u wanted to get food from the buffet in the back. Also, there is a big gap between the table and seat so my daughter couldn't reach her food easily. I was worried she would fall in the gap. I was uncomfortable because the restaurant is tight inside. If you are trying to get food from the buffet area in the back, it is just very claustrophobic. There's not a lot of room to move around. On the upside, the buffet area had good stuff like takowasabi, fruit, vegetables, milk tea,slushies, and a real cool machine that drops rice in your bowl depending on what size portion you want. By the way, they really do enforce the 90 minute time to eat FYI. The food was good. the overall experience was too much work. I didn't even get a chance to take a picture. There was a lot going on. I think it would be a better experience without children and if it is only two or three people eating. read more

I love the food! Service is great. Van is amazing. She made sure we were good with everything. I always request to sit in her area, if she's working. Pretty lively atmosphere with music playing in the backgrounds. read more

Went to celebrate birthday for our twins. Stela was our server and she's great! Basically no wait on a Thursday around 5pm so nice to be seated quickly instead of the typical super long wait. I've been to multiple Chubby Cattle and 2nd time to this location. Unfortunately the food this time was not quite as good as prior times and other locations (LA and Vegas). Most of the Wagyu was chewy with only a few of the orders were tender. Flavor was still good. The sushi was the worst I've had - a bit fishy and not fresh like prior times. Overall not bad but not great. I've always raved to everyone about Chubby Cattle but perhaps temper the expectations a bit. Maybe an off night for them. read more

Chubby Cattle - Barbeque Near Me - Pleasanton, California

You definitely get what you pay for when you eat at Chubby Cattle and my only regret is I couldn't eat more! The cuts of Wagyu were so fresh and melt in your mouth! Sushi was decent but this place isn't known for their sushis. Self serve bar was stocked up nicely with veggies and fruit, a really cool vending machine that dispensed rice, and milk teas! Service was incredible and the server took the time to explain how to order through the tablet. Ambiance was nice although the place was a little small. Make sure you check on the waitlist ahead of time because it was over an hour wait for 1 person! read more

Thank you, Cici, for checking in on our table consistently and bringing us extra tongs or whatever else we needed at a moment's notice and giving us advice regarding what to order. The wagyu was very yummy and filling too! The plain wagyu is best here, and every cut is OP. read more

Chubby Cattle - Barbeque Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Here is an honest review in a sea of bought/fake yelp reviews - We were initially so excited to try this restaurant on a Weds night after shopping at the outlets. We went for the Gold tier set which comes with an order of the A5 wagyu, then the rest are other 'premium' cuts of Australian beef. To our disappointment, only the 'A5 wagyu' is decent, but it was a pretty thin small cut of beef, gone pretty quickly, and really not all that worth it for the price. The other cuts of beef NOT the A5 were SUPER TOUGH and almost edible, which left us really disappointed in the beef quality. Other items on the menu like the salmon sashimi was frozen when it arrived and did not taste good. We were put off by how BAD!? the beef quality was, super tough and borderline inedible. Literally Safeway quality is better than the beef quality served here. The beef quality does NOT match up with the price you're paying, especially when we purchased the Gold tier. We were so confused by why this place got rated so high on Yelp and Google. We're suspecting that this place buys their reviews or at least incentivize their customers for a review in return for a discount or get something for free. None of our waiters told us to leave them a review, so here is a brutally honest review. Be warned. read more

Obligatory server shoutout because they gave me a qr code to do so: Raymond was great! Super courteous and apologetic when items were sold out (of which there were quite a bit). Silver tier meat is pretty good! Still had a few cuts where I had to spit out hard tendons and rough cute, but it's an improvement from other kbbq places. Fruit bar was really clean which is so nice. The little hamburgers were a sleeper hit--I had to hold us back from getting too much of it lol. Salmon and unagi handrolls were great! A lot of meat and a small pat of rice. Steamed egg was super bland and not really worth it. Tom yum soup was also super basic and you're probably better off ordering something else. The curry and mapo tofu were also very mediocre. Quite a few items were sold out which was disappointing for a Sunday afternoon. I was looking forward to their mochi ice cream but apparently they've been out since Friday. For such a busy restaurant ya'll really need to restock faster than that! The time limit is 90 minutes, but you can only order for 70--Just a warning! The time flies by super fast, especially with the music blasting out, encouraging you to eat faster. I did have a pretty decent time here though! read more

Went during lunch on a weekday and didn't have to wait at all! As soon as we sat down, Van was our server and WOW... top-tier service! She made us feel like we were dining in Japan or Korea. She even helped cook our meat so we wouldn't mess it up and came back to check on us multiple times throughout the meal. 10/10 experience and we will definitely be coming back! read more

Cici was an amazing waitress. Very attentive. It was very hot inside. And ice machine was broken. Meat quality was solid. Would come back again read more

Food, service and ambiance were a 10/10! NAM our server was amazing and recommended a lot Of good meats and sashimi . Everything was so good we got membership. NAM cooked our specialty meats which were the A5 wagyu and let me tell you, it's melt in your mouth good. Chubby Cattle lives up to its hype and NAM made our experience 10x better. They also have unlimited hand rolls and sashimi which doesn't taste like your typical AYCE SUSHI PLACES. Love the unlimited soda, rice, sauce bar, fruit and veggie options as well! read more

Overall Really good experience here. I knew it would be busy but luckily we came around noon and the host sat us at the bar area which was actually quite spacious and comfortable. The decor and ambiance was nice and seems organized, workers checked in on the food items in the back (cleaning up/refills/questions). Great customer service! Our waiter was so kind and helpful as it was our first time at this location. He explained the diff tiers and rec some good items to order. Now on to the food: 4/5. This is for all the cuts of Wagyu meats that we've tried (which are all of them except the lamb). All cuts were really good and 80% were tender and melt in your mouth. The short ribs and otoro were amazing and when cooked just needed a bit of the salt and it was a match made in heaven. I really enjoyed the knuckle as well, not sure if I've ever had that cut before today, but that cut was very tender, would rec for anyone wanting a thick cut but tender as well. The sushi was decent, nothing crazy but good addition if you want some sushi along with your meal. They also have diff options for hand rolls. Sauces were good and complimented the meats well. - Tip: I also ordered a side of wasabi to add to my meats as well if you like that hint of spice. The side dishes were ok. Some were a hit and some were just ok but it is self serve and about 5-6 options. Salad and fruit bar were really nice and clean with miso soup and toppings as well. Also they have an automatic rice dispenser! Drinks: boba was surprising good for boba on tap, slushies were ok, a fun choice to have. Soda machine open for refills. Dessert: fruits, egg tarts (2/5- the egg was more on the runny side), soft serve (4/5- vanilla/chocolate). read more

Edit: not sure why business replied with a different server's name (Ben) but our server was VIET!!! First off, the wait and hype here is crazy, but it's so worth it!! We came early on a Wednesday for lunch and there were already a few people ahead of us. I like how they set up an iPad outside to join the waitlist. We were quickly seated once they opened at noon and the server went through the menu with us. Chose the diamond tier because duh you just have to, the best meats in town!! Anyways, shoutout to our superb server VIET!!!! he cooked the meat so well, we just kept "wow-ing" the entire time lol. Once our meat came, the manager let us know that the servers can also cook for us if we would like that. My brothers were skeptical at first because during their last visit they had a server cook and the meat was just overdone and not good..but Viet knows what's up!!! Cooked to perfection! We will probably only come when Viet is around from now lolol read more

Chubby Cattle - Foie Gras and Caviar Sushi - Barbeque Near Me - Pleasanton, California

I'm a pretty big Chubby Cattle fan. I mostly go to their SoCal locations, but also have ate at their Shabu Shabu restaurant, Mikiya, as well. Hell, I've also been to their Niku X restaurant in DTLA. Yes, that one that went viral on social media, along with Cafe Sierra. This is ok. It's not only more expensive than the SoCal locations ($88 diamond tier non-member price here in Pleasanton vs $85 for the same tier down in SoCal), but they barely have the same options, and don't actually offer the good cuts of meat as AYCE. In the SoCal locations you can get the better wagyu as AYCE, here in Pleasanton you're only given one order of it, which is lame. Also, you don't get the nice wooden chest with the dried ice presentation. See my Monterey Park location review below for reference: /biz/chubby-cattle-monterey-park-monterey-park-2?hrid=ZB2e2uVhIIMdhrLBhJvqXQ I was told they are still trying to ramp up operations to be able to mirror their SoCal locations. In the meantime, I would just wait for them to do so, or just head down to SoCal. They have a waiting line just for the waiting list. It is pretty bizarre at the moment. Either their Monterey Park or Rowland Heights locations are great. I recommend Niku X as well. Also, this Pleasanton location is kinda small. Bay Area has a bunch of really hungry foodies. But in typical Bay Area fashion, we have to pay more for more crappier interpretations of SoCal businesses. read more

Excellent service--courteous, attentive, and pleasant throughout. We did the Gold Tier, and everything was delicious. I especially loved the milk tea, even though it was just a touch too sweet for my taste. The tofu appetizer was such a pleasant surprise. The one item that could use some improvement was the matcha mochi, which didn't really have the texture or taste of mochi. I arrived at 10: 40am and got in for the first seating. I don't feel like I needed to be there that early though. read more

Plentiful parking. Arrived around 12:07 on a Friday but we missed the cutoff for the first seating by around 4 groups. Walked around the plaza until our table was ready at 1:33. Our server Khoa was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. He cooked our special meats for us & changed out our grills when needed. He also helped us sign up for the membership. I just wish we were informed that we needed to scan our receipt in store on the same day to receive the points in app. Overall the meats were of great quality. Most of the meats were super tender. Love that you can fill up on the much needed sides at the self serve bar to change up the textures. They offer house special sauce, yakiniku sauce, salt, & a spicy chili on the side. My favorite was the house special. Also love the self serve drinks; my favorite was the Jasmine milk tea, not too sweet but flavorful. The salmon carpaccio was bland, but the yellowtail was great. Would skip the steamed egg as it is pretty bland. The special meats that we could order once were the best, but we also loved the brisket and scallops. Uni on the wagyu nigiri was amazing. read more

Her positive attitude and outstanding service truly elevated our dining experience. Thank you, Cici, for making our meal so memorable! read more

Make sure you come early and put your name on the waitlist on the tablet. Gets full very quickly even on a random weekday. Our server was Raymond, he was very professional, nice, and knowledgeable. I had an issue with getting signed up for the chubby one which can only be used at one location and I had to upgrade again on the plus one to use it there. And since I didn't have a visit logged, I have to wait until next year for my birthday reward. The decor was nice, seats were comfy, food came quick, server periodically came over to check in on us and make recommendations and help out with the cooking. Would come back again because Raymond was awesome except I live pretty far away. read more

Came here on a Saturday late afternoon for dinner and... be prepared for a wait. The waitlist opens at 4pm and there was already a line just to get on it. It took about an hour just to reach the front and add our name, and then another 3-4 hour wait for a small party before we were actually seated. The restaurant itself isn't huge, but it's decently sized. just felt a little cramped as you're walking back-and-forth to the snack bar. Menu wise, there's a pretty large selection with different tiers. The higher tiers include premium cuts, but you can only order those once (one plate per person). After that, everything else is more standard cuts. They do have a nice self-serve setup: - Open bar for sides (veggies, noodles, etc.) - Milk tea on tap (which was a nice touch) - Soft serve ice cream - Even curry at the snack bar So there's definitely a lot to enjoy beyond just the meat. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I can see the hype. That said, the long wait and slightly cramped space make it more of a "try it at least once" kind of spot rather than somewhere I'd go regularly unless you're okay committing half your day to dinner. read more

Arrived at 3:55pm on a Friday. There was already a line, and at 4pm they brought out the tablet so people can start checking in. Ended up as 17th in line with estimated wait time of 55-85 minutes. We finally got the text to check in around 6:10 and sat around 6:30. Service was good. It took some time to pick up our check towards the end, but all empty dishes are cleared very quickly. Water, soda, milk tea, ice cream, veggies, and side dishes are self serve. Tight interior with servers and cleaners walking around constantly, so be careful when you are walking. The milk tea was surprisingly good for self serve. They had green tea and samurai (black tea). The green tea tasted like the green tea crema 50% sweet from iTea, while the samurai tasted like a more plain quickly milk tea. Ice cream is also a decent vanilla soft serve which was not overly sweet either. As for the meats, we opted for the gold tier. I'd recommend gold if you are coming to Chubby cattle only a few times every so often - might as well indulge a bit. The wagyu dishes specific to the gold tier were a bit better than the silver options. I would definitely pass on the wagyu tartare hand roll as there was a weird sauce on it. The special gold tier meats that you can only get 1 per person was great, but just a little too rich - one order for each person was enough. If you really have time to check in early and wait, I'd recommend trying this place at least once. If you are traveling farther than an hour away, I'm not sure if it would be worth it as we were out from 3:30pm-8:30pm from door to door (and we live about 20-25 minutes away). read more

I was out at the Livermore Outlets this Saturday and figured, nobody should be eating here around 3PM...technically I wasn't wrong. I hadn't eaten since 9AM that day so I was pretty hungry. I got there and talked to a hostess and they said they aren't taking anyone until 4PM. I didn't really understand what that meant since I had seen people inside eating, and also people outside, kinda forming a line, and also people just grouped up outside with no structure.. so that was confusing. In any case, probably oooonly 10 people in line at this point. They don't close mid-day according to their hours. I was hungry so I was like ok we'll just get sushi. We pick a place that doesn't close for mid-day and is 15 minutes away. I get there... doors are closed. The hours they post on their door do show they close mid-day, and open again at 4PM... So I'm like alright, well no other good sushi places, and surely the Chubby Cattle line isn't that bad... Why not just take customers all day, or why not say they're closed from like 3-4PM if they're going to stop taking customers? That part I just found a little confusing. I wouldn't have minded so much if I just got my name down at 3PM when I originally got there, got told 1 hour wait, drove out to sushi, changed my mind, came back, and my table was ready. But instead - I get back there 3:45, there's a line of maybe 40+ people in front of me. It still doesn't look too bad but I'm reading other reviews and they say it's a 2 hour wait if you get there around this time. I get through the waitlist line by 4:10 and get on the list, about 35 parties in front of me, 2 hour wait. I already ate a protein bar at this point and went to have a light snack from Ranch 99 so whatever. I get in around 6PM and I think there's only a 75 minute time limit? Not sure, they didn't mention but I noticed a timer on the top-left of the screen quickly counting down. It's a bit crowded and hectic in there, but food comes fast. They have a small section for side dishes, but it was never crowded, unlike if you were at say Mikiya. My heat was on max, the buttons didn't work for me to turning the heat down but eventually I got a worker to turn it down for us. The meat cooked super fast, which we weren't used to, so we were probably overcooking a bunch of things. Not their fault though. Overall the meat was delicious and some melted in your mouth, while some were tough. It just depends on the meat you pick. Pretty yummy overall, I can hardly eat AYCE anymore. We went with Diamond, but I think next time I'll just go with Gold, even though it's only $10 difference per person. Those special meats we ended up saving for last but we were too full to enjoy it by the end lol. Our mistake. We just wanted to make sure we mastered cooking before we wasted the good pieces of meat. I did get the membership, and with the Milpitas location opening up eventually, we will probably end up there for someone's birthday in the near future.. Dunno though, I used to be the friend that always showed up early and got in line... but now that I have a kid... someone else can do that please :). read more

4.5, rounding up to 5 stars! We come about 1 or 1.5 hours before the waitlist opens. The service here is very good, especially our server Van. Van was very informative and checked up on us frequently. The food is here good, but eventually the original sauce got a bit salty and we had to switch over to plain. My complaints here are that the back section to get drinks/sides is a bit crowded and small. The tables are also a bit small and the plates that hold the meat is bulky and takes up a lot of space on the table with little room to eat. Overall good! read more

Alan P, our sever was great very attentive and checked on us often. Explain how everything work!!! 5 Stars all the way around with one exception, which left me annoyed and that's the only reason for the 3 star review. Only take one employee to messed up things. This one employee, didn't get his name, came over not even a minute after Alan dropped off our bill and said Alan is leaving soon so I'm will help with payment. I gave him my card to run on his portable payment terminal, when he handed me my card back and the payment terminal to sign he already select the tip option for me, 20%. I said something to him and he just said if you don't want to that fine and laugh. No reflection on Alan as I said he was great and worth the 20% or more. Came in on Thursday 9/25 late afternoon for lunch and early dinner, probably one of the best time to go, no wait. It is very loud with the music blasting inside. Lots of parking as its in a shopping center. They have 3 tiers you can select from with different meat options. We got the Gold Tier which is $65 each with a membership, without it's $78. Just buy one membership and it's good for 2 people every time. If you get your membership there you get a free 2oz A5 Striploin. All the meat and sushi were very fresh and tasted great. Melted in your mouth!!! Worth every penny. read more

Been to this place a handful of times and can certainly say this is the best AYCE experience in the bay from the self serve area, to the quality of meats and even the efficiency in service. I will say the waitlist can get long depending on the day/time of day you arrive. Even on weekdays their peak dinner hours will always be a 1 hr+ wait so make sure to get on the waitlist ASAP. read more

This was my first time at Chubby Cattle! We arrived around 5:30pm on a Monday and the wait was already 60-90 minutes long. Insaneeee! We finally got a table around 7, and ordered from the gold tier. Shout out to our server, Leon, who was incredibly knowledgeable about the memberships, and provided great service throughout our meal. We appreciated it! Now for the food, YUMMMM!!! Our favorite meat was the beef tongue. It was so tender and delicious. I tried the A5 Wagyu Uni Caviar Nigiri and it was 10/10 for me! The flavor mixed so well together. The M8-9 Wagyu Chuck Eye with Chubby Sriracha stood out to me as well. As for the side dishes, I loveeee the seaweed salad that you could grab yourself. The steamed egg was also yummy! It was a small portion with a A LOT of flavor. There were hidden pieces of shrimp in it. It also looked like it was made out of egg whites only (I'm not 100% though). Something that I also very much appreciated was the "girl stuff" bin in the women's restroom. That is something you don't see often in restaurants, and I just wanted to say thank you! Overall, I had a great experience at this location. I would definitely be back! read more
