Great food, great service. Chloe was so helpful. Always on top of everything. would definitely come back!

I tried the All-You-Can-Eat Wagyu option at Wagyu Factory, without hot pot, and it was only $48 per person. Kids under 2 years old are free, which is a nice bonus for families. The beef was fresh, flavorful, and had a rich taste. I also liked that they offer different types of Wagyu, sliced or cut in different thicknesses, so you can enjoy a variety of textures and flavors. For the price, I think it's a really good deal. Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience and would definitely come back again. read more

Had a good experience here. Came after 7pm on a Monday night and had to wait about 20 minutes. If you're on the waitlist make sure you get a text when you first add yourself to the waitlist, because they also text you when your table is ready and for some reason I didn't get either text but luckily the guy at the front took care of us. Did bbq for $50/person or $44 for members. All the raw meats were at the buffet that you grab yourself, which I really like because you can see it and take the cuts/pieces that you want that look good and you can take as little or and much as you want. Some of the meats were really high quality and beautifully marbled. There is a soft drink machine, ice cream machine, vegetables like king oyster mushrooms and zucchini, fruits like pineapple and watermelon. The ice cream was vanilla soft serve and it tasted like real ice cream, not the fake watery type that some Asian places have. The only critiques I would have is the buffet area gets pretty crowded at times since it's all in one space and the grills are on the smaller side - it was only two of us and we were running out of grills space, I couldn't imagine having to share the grill with four people. There was a table of five obese individuals at the table across from us and I have no idea how they were able to cook enough food to satisfy their seemingly large appetites within their time limit. If you add the shabu, they bring a portable stove to your table so then you have a hot pot of broth plus your grill space, so it could be worth it to do that just to have the ability to cook more food faster before your stomach feels full. Personally, I wouldn't come here with more than a party of two. I would definitely come back, ideally with reservations. Service was good but you don't really need them for much since you get all your own meat, drinks, sides, desserts, extra napkins/utensils yourself. The only thing you order from the tablet at the table is the fried appetizers, which I didn't try any because I was too busy eating the meats and sides. Parking is easy as the lot is large and it's in the same building as a big Asian grocery store in case you want to go shopping before or after. read more

I was skeptical since I've been to AYCA BBQ where you grab your own meats and the meats are usually pretty low quality, however, this was such a great experience. There are three tiers and we picked the highest where it was BBQ + Shabu Shabu + A5 wagyu ($75 each). The shabu shabu is a smaller pot, but it's still AYCA. There's a large selection of meats, classic briskets to beef tongue and duck. There were also wagyu mini sliders too. There are a handful of fried items that's a part of the tiers, but we mainly just stuck with wagyu. The wagyu was delicious, although thin, you can order a lot. Some of the wagyu was large, but there were scissors to cut it smaller. There is a time limit though, you can only order every 5 minutes and I believe you can eat for about an hour. There's also a small selection of sweets: soft served ice cream, mousses, swiss roll cakes, and fresh fruit. There are vegetables, greens, and mushrooms for the shabu shabu as well. There were also some dim sum, but I didn't try any. Service was fast and friendly. And they even made our friend a small slice of cake for his birthday, that was very nice! I was very impressed with the ventilation that's built inside the grill, so the smoke is suck up before it gets into the air and stink up your clothes/hair! read more

Wagyu factory (part of the chubby group) takes over the old niku feast space in front of asian family mart. They're perfect for a group of 2-4 and offer self service meat, sides, and desserts. It can get a little expensive with non-members paying about $50 before tax/tip for the lowest tier. Moving up the tiers includes other cuts of meat and a portable shabu option. If you want to become a member, there's a fee associated with it. There's different cuts of wagyu cuts for shabu and bbq but it didn't seem to matter which cut you got. There's also some self serve dim sum, sliders, cooked meat toppings (Taiwanese braised meat, curry, etc), and veggies that are specifically for shabu unless you want to grill it. There's a small menu of fried items (karage, chicken tenders, chicken skin gyoza, shrimp). There's a wide assortment of drinks like soda, yuzu tea, and milk tea. Lastly for dessert, there's ice cream, different rolls, egg tarts, and different cakes. Overall, everything was solid from the meats to the sides. Although everything was good, they need to update the table layouts. For our party of 6, there was only 1 grill in the middle which ends up being very crowded which is why 2-4 people is the ideal group side. For our party of 6, gratuity was included at 15%. read more

Wagyu Factory has become our go-to for AYCE bbq! We have tried their wagyu option and it was great but we usually are already more than happy with their regular bbq option. My favorite meats are: bone-in short rib, wagyu karubi, and finger meat slice. I love cheese corn so I always get a couple from their buffet bar. I also love that they have a good selection of drinks - my favorites are the black milk tea and the jasmine milk tea. For desserts, their cakes are so-so so I would go for the soft serve and egg tarts. Service is usually great. We've been assigned to Hendy's area a couple of times and he's amazing! One downside is that the wait is usually long (about 2 hrs). They have started opening reservations for select time slots on Yelp so definitely get those if you can. If you anticipate visiting this place again, join the chubby club! You get discounted rates, a free birthday meal, and you earn points for free premium meats. read more

Came here on a Wednesday for dinner around 6pm and there was no wait. To check the wait, you can call and they have an ai call system to give you an update and they also text you afterwards to let you know the wait times if you asked about it. I've also been to the other location in Tustin, CA and compared to that location this one is smaller and does have less options but this is still pretty good. The staff is very nice and friendly.The meats were good and were replenished once low. My favorite was the black pepper beef cubes. The matcha nama chocolate Swiss roll cake was very popular, unfortunately I didn't grab it in the beginning and it was out by the time I went for dessert and the staff said they didn't have anymore. I would recommend getting it first if you see it! read more

Delicious all-you-can-eat Wagyu BBQ & hotpot. The meats are all so good and of high quality. Some truly melt in your mouth. Their self-serve hot dishes are also so good (except for the curry that's a bit salty). We were expecting a long wait as we arrived exactly at noon, but we were seated in less than a minute. Our server, Hendy, is also very attentive. Thanks, Hendy! The place is not big, so getting around to the self-serve hot dish area could be a bit of a squeeze. Overall, two thumbs up!! read more

Wagyu Factory kept almost all of the same seating as the previous Niku Niku, so each booth fits about 6 people with 1 grill each. Only one section has 2 grills for 1 party. The Friday dinner wait time without a reservation was at least 2 hours estimated. Good thing we had a reservation! The wagyu karubi was one of the best cuts, but it was also one of the fattiest ones creating more flames. Luckily, the server would change the grill and/or lower the temp when we cooked those. I was surprised my hair didn't smell like I had been BBQing afterwards. I found that the appetizers were all pretty mediocre except for the Japanese wagyu bowl. The curry rice and kimchi pork bowl were the only bowls I didn't try. Both the octopus and kimchi "buns" split open when trying to grab them. None of the fried appetizers stood out, but that day maybe the fried oysters and shrimp tempura were slightly better than the takoyaki, chicken skin gyoza, and chicken karage. If I could do it over again, I wouldn't have focused so much on appetizers and should have eaten more of the wagyu. The tablet didn't clearly indicate how many items came in each hot dish, so it was confusing when some came individually or with random amounts. It would help if the pics matched how many come in each order, so people don't end up overordering - leading to food waste. Dessert wise - the egg tart and red bean taiyaki were my favorites. The mousse was just artificial flavored fluff. The tiramisu mousse had no hint of tiramisu at all, but the mango mousse did taste like regular mango flavoring. The milk tea dispensers don't work as quickly as the other beverage dispensers, so I ended up trying about an inch of each one. The jasmine one was surprisingly not sweet. read more

I came here when it was still Niku Niku and we went all out with the A5 hotpot experience. They had three different shabu broths. The A5 was super tender and definitely the highlight. There's also a side bar where you can grab extra meats for shabu plus veggies and other add-ons, which I loved because you can mix and match whatever you want. The grill would get really hot sometimes and the flames would flare up pretty big, so it was kind of chaotic to watch--but also really cool at the same time. It definitely made the experience more exciting. Our server Angel was really helpful and explained the menu in a way that made everything easy to understand. And at the end, we got ice cream cones, which was such a cute little finish. read more

One of my fav bbq spots! Their value proposition is just too good, the price for the quality of the meat, appetizers, desserts, drinks, etc all for $50 and AYCE. Their wait time sometimes is pretty crazy so just come early or off time. Every time I come here the servers are really well trained and attentive. This time I came here I had Renee and my period came and she was really sweet to go to her car to get me the spare tampon she had. She went the extra mile which I really appreciated. Highly recommend coming here if you want a solid bbq place! read more

Great food and a wonderful dining experience! The meat was fresh and delicious, and the overall atmosphere was enjoyable. Special thanks to our server, Lily, for her excellent service. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Her hospitality really made our experience even better. We'll definitely be back! read more

came in on a saturday evening and only waited 30 minutes! Service was great, Hio, our server was AMAZING and explained the menu and concept well. The ALL YOU CAN EAT is well worth the price. You get a buffet of assorted dumplings and some great Japanese style beef bowls! The meat quality was top notch and seasoned well, so much to choose from. I LOVED ATHE wagyu knuckle and pork belly, eat it with the "special salt" so fire. They also had food from the kitchen that was also included, Chicken Karage was perfect, as well as the crispy shrimp tempura. They also had a boba fountain, as well as soft service ice cream and deserts! This place is LEGIT! For 55$ , the value is insane and I left in a food coma! Would definitely come back, everything was tasty and plentiful. read more

Wagyu Factory is located in North Seattle in a shared plaza with other businesses, like LA Fitness, Sprouts, and Asian Family Market just to name a few. The parking lot is very spacious with plenty of spaces to park at. Our group of 5 waited about an hour to be seated for Friday night. It wasn't too bad of a wait since there was space inside. We all ended up doing the A5 Wagyu, which includes all the meat options and shabu. Wyatt was our server and he was super helpful throughout the whole time while we were at the restaurant! He helped us cook our meat and recommended certain sauces to dip our meats in. He even chatted with us about the other locations that are opening up in Washington. Wyatt was the best! read more

Wagyu Factory - Barbeque Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I had really really high expectations of this place as it is part of the Chubby Group. Disappointed was I..... Restaurant and food presentation was great, but the taste was not it. Some meats were hard to chew. Some meats were cut way too big for the Shabu. The tomato Shabu soup base was not appealing at all. We mostly enjoyed the grilled meat. The dim sum items were not a hit. We didn't even want to try the curry because of the let down. This place is very mehhhhh. Wagyu Factory, please offer a salad to eat with the grilled meat. Please cut your Shabu meats half the size. It's so big that it's a choking hazard. Please remove your dim sum option. That's just waste of space. Lastly, please have a sliding door to protect your meats from dirty and bugs. The self serve is literally by the front door where lots of foot traffic can cause dust to fly around your food. Thank you. read more

Visiting after their soft opening, so having higher expectations around their staffing and operations. Came in as a large party of 10 and had a great time! There is a large space cut out for big groups that seat 8-9 comfortably but can squeeze 10. I've been following some of the Chubby Group restaurants since I visited Vegas a few years back. While I know nothing else besides the restaurants, David Zhao's chains are fun because of the unique experiences and types of restaurants. I'd recommend jumping to the Ultimate A5, which I'll definitely come back for. We wanted to start with the basic BBQ but I'm not quite convinced the silver tier BBQ is worth it as the meats are the same as Niku Niku, but at a premium cost. However, the marbling on the A5 menu look fantastic. Great service, ample parking with the large plaza, and a restroom available outside of the restaurant (through the mall). Self serve bar is nice! Ability to grab meat rather than waiting to order and have it delivered does feel nice. Though again, meats here more on the basic side as they were available previously. Dim sum selection isn't the best, but cool that it's available. Their little wagyu beef sliders are tasty (a friend noted a similar taste to a quarter pounder). Dessert includes a strong selection of cake swiss rolls, egg tarts, cakes in a shot glass, red bean taiyaki with condensed milk, and soft serve. For drinks, there's a great selection. Black milk tea and jasmine milk tea machines were great additions to the space, in addition to a soda fountain and Calpico plus a rotating fruit tea. On the appetizer front, there's basic takoyaki, tempura shrimp, karaage, potato balls, fries, and gyoza. For the lower tiers, the iPad only lets you order appetizers which isn't very exciting (chicken skin gyoza is unique though). Fried oysters, chicken nuggets, pork gyoza, vegetables (like edamame), and fruit are available at the self serve bar. read more

As someone who's been at this location from Niku Niku to Niku Feast to now Wagyu Factory, the quality of meat has stayed pretty consistent and their offerings have increased. The vibe is definitely a bit more chaotic and upbeat since its buffet style now and you grab your own meats and with that, expect some things to run out until the next refill as it is normally a packed house during dinner time. Service is alright but as stated earlier; a lot of it is self service and with it being packed most of the time, be patient with the kitchen service and meat delivery if you choose to upgrade to the higher meat options. Alongside the meats, they have some rice bowl options such as the kimchi pork or Japanese Wagyu with a rice dispenser. They also have a soda fountain and a dessert section. Would love to come back when it's less packed and give a more thorough review on the meats as it was hard to keep track of which ones we liked just due to how busy it was. read more

Wagyu Factory - Barbeque Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Heard a lot of hype about an AYCE A5 Wagyu spot so had to come try it out. This place is located in the building with Asian family market, so there's plentiful parking. My friends and I came for lunch, so it wasn't super busy and we were sat immediately. We ended up getting the AYCE A5, which was like $80pp without a membership. Service was really nice, they came to change our grill, check on our shabu shabu soup, etc. The only thing they serve is the plates of A5 Wagyu. Everything else is self serve in their little bar area. Variety of meats is pretty good and quality was pretty good too. However, too much of a good thing definitely applies here. After awhile, the heavy marbling and grease from the A5 Wagyu became too much. I wish they had some other sides that would help cut the greasiness. As for the shabu shabu, that was fine. Don't think it's worth to pay more for it. The shabu ingredients weren't as high quality. The bar area did have other hot foods like kungpao chicken, kimchi pork, rice, fried oysters, desserts which was not bad. I did enjoy their ice cream. Overall, not a bad experience, but I don't think worth the price. Would maaaaybe come again but just for the regular bbq. read more

TLDR: would I go again? Maybe if I was in this area with guests. The price point for the cheapest menu isn't the worst (~$40 before tax an tip), but I don't see myself coming often because the food wasn't THAT memorable. This place gets busy at dinner time around 7pm, they have a Yelp waitlist at their front door but you can also rsvp on Google a few days beforehand. There's plenty of parking in the plaza. The place wasn't the biggest, and all the basic meats, seafood, veggies, drinks, and desserts were right at the entrance. The waiter (I forgot his name) took his time to explain the menu quickly to us before we got started and was very attentive in changing our grill often throughout. We ended up going with the last menu which allowed us to get wagyu in bbq and hotpot. Most of the meats were tender! We didn't get a lot of the meats at the station because of the wagyu so I don't really know how they taste. The only memorable one was the finger meat (or something along that name) that was melt in your mouth. The wagyu burger was ok, the bun was dry and hard. The egg tarts had a flaky and buttery pastry but the custard was very eggy and slightly on the firmer side. They had a variety of drinks: calpico, yuzu tea/lemonade, jasmine/black milk tea, and soda fountain. read more

My step step sister had actually recommended the restaurant that the Wagyu Factory replaced but since they had similar concepts I decided that we would still check them out. It looks like you can actually place your name in queue to be sat so I would definitely suggest that before making your way over. We opted to do the Ultimate A5 menu which was $75.99 a person, it comes with A5 Wagyu as well as the other options from the buffet and hot pot. The other tiers are a lot more affordable and still include wagyu you can grab at the buffet line. Our server was Heddy, he was super friendly and really knowledgeable, we had some questions with regards to the tiers and he was really nice by giving us some additional details. He had mentioned the "Chubby Club" but because we were visiting from San Diego and since we don't have any other locations we had to decline. Since we chose the Ultimate A5 we ordered the more premium cuts on the tablet from our table along with some fried pieces, then we walked to the buffet to grab some extra goodies. For drinks I grabbed the passion fruit tea, they do have milk tea and Pepsi drinks, they still had Dr.Pepper when I went. For hot food, they had egg tarts, wagyu sliders and cheese corn, they also had a dumpling station and a little station that gave you an option for curry rice, kimchi pork bowl, wagyu bowl and kungpao chicken rice bowls. There are so many options to choose from and we definitely took advantage. My favorite cut was the A5 Chuck Eye and brisket, my husband used the brisket in his wagyu bowl and he said he still thinks about it. I wish I liked hot pot, because with our tier we could have had that option. They had their own area for ingredients for hot pot. Definitely would come back or at least seek out one of the locations in LA. Thank you so much for showing us a delicious time in Seattle! read more

This place totally lives up to the hype. I think it's the best AYCE BBQ I've had so far. The price is on the higher end, but I think it's totally worth it. We only tried the BBQ option and honestly, that was more than enough, with so many choices to try. The quality of the meat is good, and the fried food is good too. We went on a weekday at 6 pm, and they had a private, big table to accommodate all 8 of us. Our server, John M, was very attentive, constantly changing the grill and checking if we needed anything. Definitely will go back. read more

Wagyu Factory - Barbeque Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Typically I dont go to AYCE places because I never think the meat quality will be as good but wagyu factory has changed my mind!! Currently they don't have reservations so you have to come and join the waitlist and wait around in person. It's in the market so you can get some grocery shopping done while you wait :) On a Saturday night at 6pm I think we were around 40th in line and it took about 1.5hours to get seated! Personally I think the regular bbq option is super worth it - the meat quality in the self serve bar is already really good. They have some interesting cuts like beef tongue, wagyu karubi, etc. we did upgrade to the top tier wagyu option but those cuts ended up being just a little too fatty for me to ea too much of! I love that they have a salad bar (with a lot of fresh side options like kimchi, bean sprouts, seaweed salad), and cooked apps/sides (the fried oysters are delish) to enhance the experience. I usually prefer non-marinated meats and they do a good job with their marinades of not making it too sweet or overpoweringly saucey. The milk tea / calpico bar is also a really fun addition. They did have a soft serve machine and other desserts but those were just ok for me and not the highlight. It's very clean inside and service was great! read more

Wagyu Factory - ultimate a5 tier! - Barbeque Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Was excited to try this spot because of their buffet bar and extensive menu. We waited almost two hours for be seated, it is very busy, but for AYCE I can understand. You can put down your name and walk around the grocery store nearby. When we got seated, they did a good job explaining the menu and how to order on their tablet. They also have subscription but that's only if you go often, I don't think I recommend. You would need to try the food first before you do any subscription to their membership. You can do only barbecue but we opted for Shabu and Japanese BBQ. This cost a few more dollars per person. The meat is offered at the buffet bar, the iPad menu is only for appetizers and sauces. Their buffet bar offer a good variety of meat, vegetables, dumplings, and drinks. I love their milk tea, their meat is good but not very seasoned which I understand it's different from KBBQ. For shabu, there are different meatballs and fish balls to choose from. You can order some other items for your shabu on the iPad. There wasn't a lot of dessert options but I do like their egg tarts. Also, the ice cream machine broke, bummer. The Shabu pot is so small it's hard to put food in there, it is placed in a weird pot. The BBQ grill gets hot way too quickly, our meat keeps getting burnt. They do not offer metal spoon to eat our shabu with, how do I drink the broth with a plastic spoon? That is not safe. I thought their extensive menu is great I just didn't really enjoy my experience there. Don't think I'd go again. read more

I am not a goo buffet person but I tried to eat as much as I could. It's def worth the money. For big groups it's hard to sit together the max is def 4-6 to be able to sit together.

Came here on a Saturday for lunch. The wait time was about 50-72 minutes. When we got seated the server was really nice, told us how it all works, gave us different options as far as prices and what comes with it. The area where the food is for self serve was pretty small. Variety of veggies and noodles was very limited but it's ok, we were there for the meat! Our server Hendy was nice and attentive. Came by often to check on us. Love the meat varieties. A couple of things I wish they had better option on were the desserts and dipping sauce. You can order sesame sauce, raw egg or ponzu. Ponzu was not good at all. Egg tarts were yummy! The other desserts were not so yummy. But again, we were not there for the dessert. All in All we will be back. read more

The meats here are really good and if you splurge for the A5 menu, the wagyu is super good! They have 3 menu options: BBQ - $49.99 BBQ & Shabu - $55.99 Ultimate A5 (includes 5 extra A5 cuts) - $75.99 The self service area is buffet style and you can grab as much meat + veggies as you want. They also have dim sum items, rice bowl options, and wagyu sliders which are super good! On top of that, they have milk tea that's all self service too and was pretty solid! Overall a great experience! read more

We came for the soft opening on a Friday. Waited a little over an hour after staring at 30th in line for a party of 5. (Wasn't too bad--walked around Asian family Mart for a bit). We got the A5 wagyu menu and ordered the sukiyaki as well. The premium meat options were really nice, but not necessary as the other cuts were yummy as well, and a good value. The non-meat options are all pretty decent, although nothing to write home about. But if you're craving a ha kao while at wagyu factory then I think it would scratch the itch. The veggies and fruits were all fresh and the cold bar was well maintained. Lots of drinks to choose from, although no hot water/tea options (we asked!). I've experienced better service at other chubby restaurants, but the staff were pretty attentive overall. It was in fact the soft opening and there weren't any real issues. I'm sure they'll only get better. read more

Very delicious All You Can Eat bbq restaurant!! Pretty spacious comfoetable booth and hip and private vibe with dark interior vibes. We tried the ultimate A5 experience. All of the food were delicious and we were very happy with fresh veggies as well. Our server was Derrick and he was wonderful and teaching us how to cook our meet. The menu is misleading for sukiyaki options as the marketing photo shows the broth on the grill. However, our real order came wirh separath sukiyaki pot and I was glad that we would actually have the whole grill and sukiyaki pot (instead of half pot in the marketing). We also loved thetwo milktea options. I liked jasmine milk tea. Overall food was delicious and we had a great experience. Strongly recommend leaving some room in stomach for egg tarts as they were the best we ever had. read more

Great service, but A5 wagyu tastes like USDA Select. In picture 1: A5 signature cut (left), A5 shank (middle), A5 top round (right). 75 dollar per person. We were here a couple times and we have membership. It was the only Wagyu Ace option in Seattle. Previously A5 signature cut is limited to one per person, very high quality. Now they update it to be unlimited, which means the meat quality dropped. Don't go with premium option, if you tried Wagyu before you will immediately know this is no where close to A5. Our server helped us replace the meat from the kitchen and we ordered a couple rounds - same quality. They say it maybe because the kitchen didn't cut that meat very well and especially the signature cut is a peace of very lean meat. Lmao, what does A5 lean meat even mean? read more

I went with a friend to celebrate her birthday. We got the BBQ w/shabu options. In this tier, most food is self serve. It was fun to see as that many types of meat options. I personally wasn't in the mood to try a rice bowl but did think it was cute that it was an option. They have some dimsum which I found okay but nothing particularly outstanding. The milk tea was good but the cups were more slippery than expected aka I did spill my drink. I did enjoy the salad of the veg options but it did overwhelmingly lean shabu ingredients. There was corn cheese but that does seem to sit under a heat lamp for a while. The same can be said for the wagyu burgers that I did not try. I don't have commentary on the shabu part because I don't particularly enjoy shabu. The servers were nice and you are able to easily request a grill change. This bbq is a significantly different experience from kbbq due to the amount of fire that comes when you grill a fattier cut. With how the meat is organized and how much meat you can grill at once, I didn't feel I ate as much as I might with kbbq. Since most of the meat is marinated, I didn't feel the extra dipping sauces added all that much. Overall, it was fine. It just didn't feel particularly worth it the price with my eating habits. Also they are on the dot about that 2 hour eating limit. read more
