    Octopus dumplings were so good. Try it!!!
    Zoey N.

    We came in on a Sunday night and waited about 45 minutes. The server was well trained and explained everything clearly, which we appreciated. We have been to Chubby Cattle a few times before, so we are already familiar with the concept. I have seen some reviews comparing this location to other restaurants in the Chubby group, which does not feel entirely fair since the pricing here is lower, so expectations should be adjusted accordingly. We decided to do the half hotpot and BBQ option, but honestly it was not the best choice. The hotpot ran way too hot, while the grill did not seem to get enough heat. Some of the appetizers were good, others were just okay. Service was decent but a bit inconsistent. No one checked on us very often, and the iPad froze at times, which made it hard to get assistance. Overall, we would probably only come back if it is convenient, but we would not go out of our way.

    First off, this location was definitely a letdown compared to the Brea one. It's not buffet, this spot is AYCE where you order through a kiosk and the food is brought out to you. The space is really small, and waiting outside in the cold was not a great experience--having heaters for customers would've made a big difference. That said, our server Francis was informative and attentive. The menu, felt limited. The brisket and beef tongue came out chewy and tough, which was disappointing. Honestly, don't believe all the hype from social media influencers.... They offer both hot pot and Korean BBQ, but it seemed like hardly anyone was doing hot pot. Even our server suggested skipping it due to the lack of vegetable variety. At that point, they might as well just focus on AYCE instead. Overall, I've been to a few Chubby Cattle locations, and this one was by far the worst. On top of everything, we also felt rushed because of the time limit. I've been to Niku and Wagyu Masters which is more expensive but at least they don't rush us.

    Another good experience at another chubby group location. Positives: -service was very good and our server Christie was very helpful. She answered all of our questions and made sure we got everything we asked for. -food selection was very good. I like that there's only 1 tier and it's cheaper than chubby cattle of the weekdays. Negatives: -the ambience was kinda like a night club. Very dark with loud music. I can see how some people might not like it. That's the only thing I didn't like from this experience. Overall 5/5 I'll be coming back again for sure

    First time dining at Wagyu Factory, and as a Chubby Group member, I had to check it out. I'm not sure when they officially opened, but from the outside it looks like they took over an older building. Once you walk in, though, you immediately get that familiar Chubby Group restaurant vibe. The space is on the smaller side, and I didn't notice a salad or side dish bar. We were seated right away, but our table for four felt a bit small and slightly cramped. The menu looked decent, and the member pricing was reasonable. Service was excellent. The servers and bussers were very attentive and stayed on top of everything. The food came out quickly, and the meat was delicious, juicy, flavorful, and the marinade is perfect and not overpowering. The sides were great as well. I also appreciated the ventilation system; the exhaust worked really well, and we didn't leave smelling like smoke. The only downside for me was the tablet ordering system. It was a bit frustrating to use, so I ended up ordering directly from our server instead, who was more than happy to help. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and would definitely come back.

    THANK YOU MARCO! We had a really great experience at Wagyu Factory, Mainly thanks to our server Marco. He was THE BEST! He was awesome, super friendly and patient. We probably bugged him too many times for dropped chopsticks, iPad was shut down twice, needed more water, more cheese corn etc.. but he never once seemed annoyed. Always come back with a smile and conversation. The food itself was great, but the grill was SLOW! I think this restaurant is meant for smaller groups. For a group of 6 we only get one grill and it takes time. The heat pan doesn't heat up even. I was also a little surprised by how limited the wagyu options were. Overall, solid food! Get the yuzu short plate, cheese corn and dessert!

    3 stars for food 5 stars for staff/service I thought food here was decent but I far more appreciate the amazing service we experienced. All of our servers were so great, attentive, and personable. They definitely made us feel taken care of. In terms of food, I thought the meat quality was pretty good. My only gripe with this spot is they do not have as many non meat options. Among many other things, they do not have rice paper so I felt that was a miss and they did not have tofu which I think is a necessary hotpot ingredient. Making the experience very beef heavy and one note. However, we really enjoyed the tomato broth and would get that again. It does make the grilling area very small though but worth it in my opinion

    Rochell D.

    What a place! Truly enjoyed every minute here thanks to the team! We had the best servers come by and the best team make sure we were well taken care of. Top notch service here truly made our night. Holiday feasting can't get any better than this place. Loved the selections and truly couldn't stop eating. We choose the regular set menu which was plenty for a group of 3. It includes amazing meat choices and seafood plus plenty of appetizers to choose from. You can select a menu and then have ayce of those meats available in that set. You have also the choice of vegetables and can get all the appetizers you want. I loved the dessert the most actually haha plenty of ice cream flavors to choose from. I had strawberry and vanilla which was such a nice combo. We'll be back to try all the different broths. I loved our sukiyaki but since the pot is divided you can get two broths which we didn't do this last time and just had two sides with the same broth. Take advantage of the variety right!? Bring your friends family and anyone who loves hot pot. It's got great vibes food and staff! Thanks for making my holiday meal something so memorable!!

    Been there twice Price is not exactly affordable but considering they offer waygu it's not bad. Not every beef on their menu are waygu and the ones that are, come with an additional price tag. They have a membership system which the servers will try to sell, unless you're going to dine multiple times through the year, it's not necessary but you do get perks like birthday meal, discounted prices, etc They recently came out with their hotpot option, not the best. Will probably stick with bbq next time. It's a free option at least for dinner, and it was fun to try. Soup base was extremely bland. We tried the Hokkaido seafood broth, can't recommend.

    Had a great experience at Wagyu Factory! The food came out really fast and tasted amazing, and John provided amazing service -- friendly, attentive, and very helpful. He made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back!

    Our group of 4 wait about an hour on Friday evening and it was worth every minute of wait time!!! Meats were all flavorful and tender: service was quick and attentive. Our main waiter was John. He made sure we knew how the ordering system worked and had great explanations for our group. Definitely a must try and will come back next time I'm in town. Don't forget to ask for the egg tart! Flakiest egg tart I've ever had.

    Wagyu steaks. Had about 5 of these lol
    Jennifer S.

    The Wagyu Factory was a great experience for our first visit. It's a different kind of experience compared to Gyu-Kaku or traditional Korean BBQ, which we really enjoyed. You order everything directly from an iPad, which made it easy and efficient. The meats were excellent quality....really flavorful and well-prepared. Honestly, the only downside was the drinks. I wish they carried Coke products instead of Pepsi, and from a fountain rather than cans. That said, it's a very minor complaint because everything else was amazing. We'll definitely be coming back again.

    The service and food were great !! Kenny was always on top of whatever we needed and checked up on our table often :) thanks kenny !!

On my most recent visit, the food absolutely lived up to expectations--the smoke on the meat is always perfect. However, the service was a bit slow this time around. It looked like they were running short-staffed for the shift, which happens, but it did make the meal take a little longer than usual. For those looking to visit, it's a great spot right in the main shopping center with a fun, lively atmosphere. Price-wise, it leans toward the mid-to-high range (expect around $25-$40+ per person depending on what you order), but the portions are massive, and you usually leave with leftovers. Local Favorites to Try: You can't go wrong with the baby back ribs, the slow-smoked beef brisket, or the classic BBQ tri-tip sandwich. Also, do not skip their legendary cornbread with apple butter, and grab a sidewalk fresh lemonade to wash it down! I'll definitely be back as a regular, and I'm just hoping their staffing is back to full strength next time.

After that was corrected, we again brought up the missing dessert, but it was still ignored. Even after asking to speak with a manager directly, no manager ever came to address the situation. The only resolution offered was a small discount of about $15 and changing one of our all-you-can-eat meals to a kids' meal instead of an adult price.

The meat service at the start of the dinner was admittedly slow for what looked like the entire restaurant, there was a solid 10-min where no meat was coming except for a chicken sausage. I think that is because they were cooking the meats, because soon after, a bunch of meat started coming out of the kitchen all at once. The quality of the meat was great! The salad bar I think is better than Fogo: I felt the veggies and salads tasted fresher and the area around the salad bar was cleaner. The cheese bread and plantains were amazing as well, much better than Fogo for sure. Overall, I really enjoyed this place and if I am craving Brazilian BBQ again, I'll head over here.

They would NOT ask if anyone else at the table would care for anything. Sixth issue, they acted as if we were in drought conditions, asking for water was torture. We finally got up and brought over our own pitchers to the table. The seventh issue was that the busboys kept trying to take our plates away. Several times, one of us would have to grab our plate back. EIGHTH issue, when it was time for the cake, they brought us a steak knife to cut the cake, NO serving utensil, and saucers from coffee cups as our dessert plates. I asked for larger plates, and they brought us 11 HOT dinner plates. Just a reminder, there were 18 of us seated. You do the math; they certainly couldn't. I love Brazilian steakhouses, this one is almost the worst one I have been to, it comes in at a very close second. I would never return to this location. I felt sorry for the birthday girl. She was given ZERO love; they didn't even know who the birthday girl was. HORRIBLE representation for the Texas de Brazil franchise.
