    They sent me to buy a chicken here for dinner and when I got home my whole family clowned me bc the chicken was missing both legs and also his heart and liver and it was SMALL now my momma is BIG mad you can only imagine..

    Gallina del rancho para preparar mole.

    Pollo fresco recién procesado. No tiene hormonas. El sabor es único y exquisito. Se le atiende con amabilidad y respeto. Gallina india Pato Pollo rojo Pollo blanco.

    I have always had a good experience here. They ask you what your cooking to guide you to what kind of chicken taste best. I'm sorry to hear people had bad experiences since this isn't what I've encountered. The lady at the desk actually pointed out the unemployment special. Very nice and above all the chicken is Delish. If your making caldo this chicken is a must. Might cost more but you can beat how clean they are and the taste. I really thought I was eating caldo de pollo in Mexico.

    Came here to celebrate Father's Day in a group of 5. There…read morewas one waitress running the whole restaurant on a Saturday night so it was a little slow but she was a really great server! It is pricey but you get what you pay for in terms of quality. We got the american wagyu set. 6 pieces of each of the 7 meats and 4 pieces of sausage. We also got high quality beef tongue. My fav was the high quality beef tongue. Huge contrast to the normal beef tongue. Also liked the short rib. I got shiso rice w dried and fresh shiso which I adore and it was super good. Their standard kimchi was also pretty good. I would order the assorted kimchi if I went again. We also got the vegetable namul which was good but I could prob do without. It's nice for a group. They have a lot of drinks and my fav oolong-hi and fresh lemon, grapefruit, and kiwi. I would say a set alone would be good for 3-4 people. You may have to order more if you're big eaters. The group of 5 I came with doesn't eat so much and we were super full w the set and a few additional things.

    Went back again tonight for my bday dinner with my bf…read more Honestly everything is good here but our top favorites are: high quality salted cube cut tongue, high quality short rib, high quality outside skirt (LOL clearly you see what our favorite cuts are!) and liver sashimi! Owner knew it was my bday so he provided ice cream with cute bday decoration & our waiter Shingo took great care of us all throughout the night! We'll likely be back with friends next month! Can't wait!!

    We drove over 90 mins in 5pm Friday primo freeway traffic to celebrate my son's graduation at Wagyu…read moreButcher. I had seen some social media posts raving about this place & with this being located in the South Bay area, I knew it was going to be worth the drive. There are 3 different courses to choose from, Tenma Omakase $50 - appetizers of pickled vegetables, beef soup, 5 varieties of wagyu meat, curry rice, today's dessert. Butcher Omakase $75 - appetizers of pickled vegetables, beef soup, US Wagyu sashimi, 7 varieties of meat, curry rice, today's dessert. Wagyu Omakase $90 - appetizers of pickled vegetables, beef soup, US Wagyu sashimi, 7 varieties of meat, curry rice, Chef's special dessert. You have a choice of beef curry or upgrading for A5 Wagyu sushi $10 & adding uni for another $10. I got the Butcher Omakase with the A5 Wagyu sushi topped with uni. They bring the big slab of wagyu sushi & literally torch it to give it an added flavor. It was definitely good but I would actually skip the uni as the creamy flavor of uni & the fatty wagyu flavor cancel each other out. It diminishes the greatness of 2 amazing ingredients. The beef soup is a consommé made from the wagyu bones/trimmings & it has such a richness, the bold umami flavor really leaves you speechless. The pickled vegetables and kimchi were okay. I would have preferred spinach goma-ae or something like a small cucumber & wakame salad. Each course of meat was slightly different. There were 3 different cuts of tongue, all good but the cut from the underside of the tongue was a bit chewy. As each course came, the meat quality & flavor kept getting better! All of us agreed that the best & the star of the Omakase is/was the Wagyu Sukiyaki!! The sweet smell of the sukiyaki sauce drizzled over the wagyu as it sizzled on the grill was drool-worthy. Once it was quickly cooked, the wagyu is dipped into the whipped sukiyaki cream! It looked so weird but it was absolutely heavenly!! You can order small bowl of ramen or extra cuts of different wagyu but the Sukiyaki Wagyu is not available a la carte or as an extra serving. Darn it! The dessert was a Hoji-cha purin (pudding or more like flan). I've never had Hoji-cha purin & it was actually as good if not better than matcha to end the scrumptious meal. The service there was top notch, each dish was explained well and they cooked the meat quickly with attention to detail, good presentation. Our waitress even came out from behind the counter to take pictures of our extended family by the wall sign next to the front door! Wagyu Butcher has a wrap around rectangular counter seating only so it is a bit tricky to seat in a big group. We had 6 of us and it was hard to have a conversation with everyone. The only problem I saw with this seating arrangement was how they accommodate guests in wheelchairs or special mobility devices. Maybe they have a table in the back corner that I didn't see from where I sat. We all want to go back again for the next special occasion dinner! It was worth every minute of the drove down & more!!

On the small side Cons: - pork toro was chewy - liver sashimi was not as tender as I'd like it to be, still had connective tissue - Amount of time to grill was not straightforward.
