Had a pretty good deal during lunch hours. It's a small restaurant, so luckily there was no wait when we went. There are plenty of options on the AYCE menus for each tier, and I really liked that they had a good variety of sides and sushi as well. I'd say the quality is just OK. It's not bad by any means, but something felt a little off. Maybe the dipping sauces could use some improvement. Fortunately, the meats were thinly sliced, but the nigiri had a lot of rice, and the carpaccios were drenched in sauce. Definitely get the brown sugar rice cake and coconut ball, they were soo good! I'm glad I only ordered one of each to try because otherwise, it would've been way too much for the table.

Kenny and Ken were great servers and the food was delicious! High quality meat and plenty of great sides (highly recommend the calamari and nigiri)

It was our first time at Holy Cow and we had an amazing time. Jolene was our server and for $49 we were able to get unlimited meat and sides such as sushi! We were able to fulfill our needs for both meat and fish along with fries and takoyaki and got to try a matcha IPA. It's a bit of a small establishment so make sure to get onto the Yelp waitlist ahead of time. I recommend it for small groups of 4. Can't wait to come back again!

Holy Cow is right because this place is AMAZING! Not to mention the incredible deal for 90 minutes of AYCE wagyu. We opted for the Supreme Tier at $59/person, but there was a special going on where you could get the Supreme selection for the Platinum Tier price of $49/person when dining with 3+ people. Such a steal! The menu is extensive, with tons of handcrafted sides like tacos, nigiri, salads, and appetizers. But honestly, I'd skip the fillers and go straight for the meat. The cuts of beef were incredibly high quality with gorgeous marbling. I was in literal fatty beef heaven. I'd definitely make the drive back, even though it's a bit far, because that's how good it was. My only complaint? They really enforce the 90-minute time limit and will kick you out when your time is up. So order everything you can as fast as you can!

Had an amazing time at Holy Cow! The meat was delicious, and our server Ken made the experience even better. Amazing service and great food--couldn't ask for more. Thank you, Ken! We'll definitely be back!

Holy cow!!! Honestly, this AYCE yakiniku spot is pretty reasonable , starting at $49with premium meat, sushi, and sashimi included! We chose the Supreme Tier ($59), which comes with even more luxury items like A5 wagyu and uni! This is a perfect addition to our Inland Empire community. $49起特選高質和牛 仲有壽司和刺身 各種特色小菜 全部任食 IG: socalhkfoodies

I found the best Japanese bbq in chin hill and I can't wait to come back for more. Food quality is great, service is amazing. $39.99 per person with unlimited wagyu beef, say less and get in line! The whole restaurant is clean and it doesn't smoky like other bbq restaurants. Restroom is clean and nice decorated. Will definitely come back soon again.

Overall everything was tasty, plenty of parking, staff was kind, didn't leave smelling terrible, which means the place was well ventilated. It's a much smaller restaurant than I'm used to for bbq but it was very clean. We didn't think they'd offer the lunch ayce option on a weekend but they did which was nice because we didn't need all the extra premium stuff. The wagyu steak, brisket, and marinated cube meats were delicious as well as all the sides we tried. They had a good assortment of options varying from salmon carpaccio, calamari, karaage, squid salad, various Korean banchan sides, etc. We were a party of 3 and didn't feel rushed at all. We got there 10 minutes before they opened and mistook the line of people who were waiting for Paik's restaurant next door. So there was no wait for this one. They actually sat us 5 minutes before 12.

Still don't know what these are because the waitress dumped them on the table and walked away. We asked her but she didn't say..

I came here for an employee dinner and it was not a great experience. Plenty of parking in the lot, located in a small strip mall. They weren't very busy, maybe one other table, and we stood at the front for over 15 minutes waiting for someone to seat us. We sat down and waited another 20 minutes or so for menus. When the waitress came over she said only "ready?" And I told her we were still waiting for menus. She looked annoyed and finally brought 2 mes us for the 5 of us. Also, the place was practically empty but they crammed us into the smallest table and put a chair on the end and it was an....interesting choice knowing how much food comes out for Japanese BBQ. We asked the waitress how to order since it was our first time there and she said "pick one." I still don't know what that meant so I let someone else just "pick one." I'm still unclear on how to order at this place, although I've been to dozens of Japanese BBQ places and had great experiences. She was not helpful and I had to ask her 4 or 5 times for drinks. And each time we needed to order more food we had to get up and actually flag her or someone else down. (Did I mention there was only ONE other party of 2 at the restaurant at the time?!) I was pretty frustrated with the entire experience and didn't end up eating anything despite paying for the over $500 check for my team. We waited over 30 minutes for the check and I had to stand up for several minutes just looking for ANY employee to bring us our check so that we could leave. I do NOT recommend this spot, find literally any other Japanese BBQ spot, because they don't seem to actually want any business and it was an overall terrible (and expensive) experience. We were there on June 3 around 5:30PM.

If you've been to chubby cattle, this place is very comparable. The quality and cuts are the same and I highly recommend the spices on the table. Premium menu is legit and so worth it. This is definitely worth your money compared to chubby cattle. Plenty of parking and no wait on a Monday night. Service is super quick as well. It's more of a relaxed environment and less overstimulating than chubby but I think it would be hard to do a large party here considering they have really small tables.

Sandyna S.

My sister picked this place & I'm so glad she did. The food was so good. The meats were very tender & premium quality. There are three pricing tiers, I forgot to take a picture of the menu but it's definitely affordable for the quality of meats you get. The meats are perfectly marinated, didn't really need to dip it in any sauce. They have hand rolls on the menu and many other items. We were too hungry, so couldn't get many photos. The service wasn't the greatest on the day I went. I wish they were a little more attentive to us as they were not very busy. The restaurant is very clean and on the smaller side. Definitely recommend you to try it! It is so good!!

I was delighted to see that the renovation has beautifully enhanced the ambiance while maintaining the excellent qualities that have always made your place stand out. The food remains absolutely amazing, with the quality of your meats continuing to be fresh and top-notch. The service was impeccable as always, with Ken providing attentive and professional care. He truly knows how to take care of customers, ensuring that every guest feels valued and well looked after. For those visiting your establishment for the first time, I would highly recommend making a reservation to guarantee a smooth and pleasant experience.

Thanks Amber for great recs! First time and food is delish! Had supreme tier and we really enjoyed it!

Hey there! Just wanted to know about your memberships?

It's $25 a year, with $10 off per visit and $40 off on your birthday. If you sign up that day, they apply the discount that day so they knock off the $10 already which means the membership is only $15 at that point. Come back two more times and… 

Is there alcohol?

No they are processing alcohol license and we were told August they will have alcohol (hopefully!)

What's the price for kids?

Customer service was good as our server and other employees checked on us frequently. If we asked them for side dishes they brought them promptly. However an experience with a particular employee ticked me off. At the end of our meal we asked if we could take the leftovers and he said they didn't do that here. I asked about the policy on the tablet that indicated you get charged $5 for leftover meat. I mistakenly thought we could take it home because of that and asked the employee about it, citing the tablet. He ignored my question and just said sorry, we couldn't take the leftovers. All he had to say was that the tablet policy indicates you pay for it, but can't take it home. Blatantly ignoring me and turning to my aunt to finish closing out the check and just saying "sorry" didn't answer my question! Ambiance: Furniture is nice and modern, but the AC wasn't working (or no AC at all in general, just fans?) in triple degree heat on 8/23/26 at 4:15pm. Add that on top of cooking meat on grills directly in front of you, and it's practically a sauna. If you have a restaurant like this in Southern California you should prioritize AC!

I heard the new one is good too but I like my Jameson, so it's safe. Oh, did i NOT mention the biscuits with apple butter. So good. When my wife and I have had dinner here, we typically have ordered the Pick 2 Combo. She always gets Tri Tip [small $$ adder] and i switch between the sausage and the St Louis Ribs. Always is enough but you can add a third items for $10. It always goes home :( The service was great at the bar, as usual. This location always has open spots at the bar.

Definitely a come back place and a great contribution to the community. Price was right especially the economy happening in our country.

I did have a problem paying $24 for one combo and one drink, as even with these three items, I was still expecting the meal to not be more than $20 total. That will be the main reason I probably won't return. The service was good. It was quick and friendly. And the ambiance was alright too as everything was clean, efficient, and not distracting. I just agree with the statement earlier that there are better rice bowl, hawaiian, and/or teriyaki food joints in the area at either a much better quality or better pricing. This seems to find that line where what you get, though good, is a bit over-priced for what you get and there is no recourse to get something smaller because then you will be over-paying and still hungry. I'd almost give this place a 4 though because I did enjoy the meal quality-wise.

And another bad experience that hinged on the trauma from the first time where after 5 minutes of sitting there with the receipt, I called over one of the workers to make sure I paid like I didn't just watch him slide my card into the kiosk and print out a receipt.
