Food and service was great! We got the signature course and every A5 meat was tender and delicious, although our favorite was the brisket. The sushi also tasted fresh and dessert was fantastic too. Out of all the sides we tried, my favorite was the shrimp tempura- it was delightfully crispy and freshly fried. All the staff were extremely helpful, Fonda in particular was so sweet. Service was very prompt, all our plates were brought out immediately after ordering and were also cleared away very fast. We loved our dinner and will definitely be back! read more

"Fonda was an amazing server loved the food. Will be coming back definitely. Thank you for the experience" Updated on 10/1/2026 The food and service were fine, and I have no complaints. However, I did not write the review above. I'm not very good at remembering names, so I didn't even catch our server's name during the meal. I only noticed the review because I received an email from Yelp saying that someone had responded to my review. I checked my Yelp login history and saw that my account was logged in on a desktop in San Jose at 6:55 PM on September 29. At that time, I was either leaving the restaurant or already on my way home. I booked the reservation on 9/29 5:30 PM through Resy and downloaded the Chubby Club app on my phone before paying the bill so I could collect the points as I was told. I'm not sure what happened, but I wanted to share these details because the situation made me uncomfortable. read more

Anson was wonderful and the wagyu was the absolute best!! Had the sukiyaki and what a wonderful experience.. Middle and I got the Sukiyaki Wagyu Pot and it was AMAZING... HIGHLY recommend. They make it for you and you then have your bowl and later they add the broth to your pot. Wagyu is so tender and the best!! We also got a few of their hand rolls and added veggies for out pot - it was a lot and so tasty. I ended up becoming a member so I need to definitely go back!! next time i want to try their Sabu tasting but for the first time I definitely wanted to get as much wagyu as possible!! Their wagyu was so tender, melt in your mouth delicious!! I think we were very fortunate as we got there before the crowd as we got an early reservation but it's not "really" a reservation. It just puts you on the wait list for that time but we were able to get seated close to our "reservation" time... For dessert we got their custard tart - was flaky and delicious! Overall service was great and food excellent. I was able to convert my Mikiya chubby membership for Wagyu Master - seems they had a fall out and Mikiya is no longer part of the group hence my lost free birthday meal :( read more

I came here for my late birthday lunch! I was super excited to hear they opened up in the SJ area. Sadly, I felt like my experience was mediocre at most - I probably came on an off day :/ Upon coming in, we were asked to join the Yelp waitlist (which had around 4-6 parties in front of us). I asked how long the wait was going to be, and we were informed it'd be 45 minutes. I was a tad bit confused, mostly because we didn't see anyone else waiting to dine in, and there were plenty of empty seats available. I'm guessing they were prioritizing the parties ahead of us on the online waitlist, but I was still a bit skeptical of the 45-minute estimate. So instead of perusing around the area, we decided to wait it out in front of the restaurant juuuuust in case. About 10 minutes later, we were let in, so wooohooo for trusting our gut lol. Once seated, our server gave us a rundown of the menu! Everything seemed pretty straightforward, and we went with their signature package to get in on more A5 options. Halfway into our dining experience, we suddenly realized that the meats we were ordering were taking much longer to come out than they had earlier. We flagged this to one of the servers after sitting there meatless for ~15 minutes, and he informed us that he'd check in on things for us. Another 15 minutes went by and the meats still hadn't come, so we decided to flag down another server. That's when the second server finally realized that the meat printer was down, which meant that our orders basically weren't being pushed out for 30 minutes lol. This kinda soured our experience because it felt like when we first flagged it, it wasn't really being taken into priority. It also just sucked sitting there meatless while the broth bubbled aimlessly on its own for so long lol. They ended up apologizing and taking orders around the bar verbally, which was nice. Then it came time for dessert, and we ordered the matcha mille crepe, which I was super excited about. It wasn't until a vanilla crepe came out that we realized they were out of the matcha crepe... after overhearing it from a neighboring party who asked shortly afterward. I think if this had been communicated to us beforehand (or even blocked on the iPad), my expectations would've been a bit different. But even when the vanilla crepe was handed to us, nothing was said about the matcha one. Overall, I felt like the experience was just disappointing and I'm not sure if it'd be worth coming back :( read more

Been seeing this place on TikTok and finally got to try! Huge shoutout to Anson, Brian, and the team -- attentive, knowledgeable, great service, and great vibes all around! You MUST GET the tom yum soup!! Perfectly balanced, packed with flavor, one of the best I've had. And the wagyu itself? Perfection. Highly recommend! read more

Food was decent! I liked that they have both shabu and sushi. My favorites were the yellowtail carpaccio, A5 shoulder + roundshank, and the spicy salmon hand roll. The food came out really fast, and they were great about clearing our plates right away. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out enough for me to come back. The service was definitely the highlight. Brandon was super friendly, helped us sign up for the rewards program, and made sure we were taken care of the whole time. I'd recommend trying it at least once! read more

First bite of wagyu sukiyaki was AMAZING. As you eat more though, the broth definitely gets heavier and saltier, especially since you're eating fatty cuts of wagyu. I'd ask for more broth (water) throughout. Handrolls were decent, I expected them to be higher quality, but I guess it's not bad considering its AYCE. Salmon handroll was my favorite, I thought the blue crab and scallop tasted odd. From the extra appetizers and desserts, the chicken wings and egg tart were really good and crepe cake wasn't (it was frozen still..) Servers are great, they take good care of you and will get you whatever you need during your meal. I also love how its bar seating throughout so it feels more personal and if you have a bigger group, you can sit outside. read more

Chubby Group never disappoints. The Waygu meat was very fresh. The sukiyaki broth was also very good. Next time I will try the passionfruit one! The servers were very attentive. Price was $$$$ - totally worthed it. The other food items like the chicken wings, hand rolls, egg tarts, crepe cakes, the curry, ice cream, etc were all very tasty. Just barely eating lol theses were quite filling nd delicious. Party of 2 share one tablet. Food came out pretty quickly. Come earlier prior to 5pm, wait was just 10 mins or so. When I left all seats were filled and there was a wait. Parking was easy and plenty of spots just outside the restaurant. Will come again. read more

Stopped by this spot right when it opened this past Sunday and there were already people in line. Luckily, our party of 3 had a reservation. The inside is really pretty. It's bar seating all around the restaurant and table seating on the patio. Firstly, service was great. We got our meats out within 1-2 minutes of ordering on the iPad. And our server, Josh, was really attentive and friendly. I really liked that there were unique options for broth. I tried the spicy passion fruit which was a really good blend of sweet and spicy. There was also a spicy tom yum that looked good. I was able to sample a bit of the dashi and wagyu bone broth. Both were also pretty good. We did the mid-tier option which had a lot of options. We were able to sample almost everything. We really enjoyed the ribeye, A5 brisket, wagyu tartare hand roll and the gyudon rice bowl. I will say that the portion sizes for the appetizers were pretty small and not consistent with the photos on the iPad. And they were sold out of so many things that I wanted to try like the king crab hand roll, lobster hand roll and matcha crepe cake. Other than that, an overall great dining experience. read more

We just bought the Chubby Membership so we had to look for another experience. This is different than Mikiya which is more of a hotpot experience than sukiyaki. Came in at around 4:30pm on a Saturday and was seated quick. We were sat on the wall side and the music was a bit loud that it was kind of hard to have a conversation. If you are going with someone, my recommendation is get different broths. My bf and I both got the sukiyaki, and while it is our go to broth, it was overwhelming by the end and I just wanted a different flavor to balance out my palette. I want to get the dashi or bone broth next time. Meats and handrolls came quick and there was always food to eat. Meat quality is the same as Mikiya, so it was delicious. The wagyu handroll and the hotate handroll are my favorites. The rice to fish ratio was a good balance for me but I know it was a little too much rice for my bf. YMMV. We will be coming back again so I can try it with different broths. read more

We came right when Wagyu Master opened, so there wasn't a line, but we still added ourselves to the Yelp waitlist just in case. The meat quality was superb. Everything was beautifully marbled, fresh, tender, and full of flavor. You can really taste the quality with every cut. The sukiyaki was also one of the best and most flavorful we've ever had. The broth was rich and savory and paired perfectly with the wagyu. The hand rolls were amazing too and ended up being another highlight of the meal. The service was great from beginning to end. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without making us feel rushed. The ambiance was nice and inviting, with a more elevated feel while still being comfortable enough for a casual meal with friends or family. I also love that Wagyu Master is part of the Chubby Group, so you can use your membership here. Members get their first round of drinks free, along with unlimited sodas, which is such a nice perk. Parking was pretty easy since it's located in a small plaza. Between the excellent service, flavorful sukiyaki, high-quality meats, and membership benefits, this was easily a five-star experience. We'll definitely be back! read more

Let's start with the pros. Easy parking with the huge lot of Paseo de Saratoga. Simplistic bar dining design with wall schemes including an illustration of beef cuts, the company timeline and a display fridge showcasing the A5 meats. Service was great with smiles from the staff and constant checking in on us. My Specialty Dish of A5 Wagyu Handroll with Foie Gras was tasty with the crew asking if we want a photo before wrapping it. The main courses (3 parts) were cooked perfectly. Beef was as tender as an A5 should be. The Chefs Daily Special with the sashimi, wagyu handroll and chawanmushi were worthy of praise. The following are the unfortunate "howevers" with our dining experience. 1. The lobster roll was a dissapointment. Having had various ones before, this was anticipated as a good combo with caviar and uni toppings. But it was a mush underneath with bread that reminded me of Kings Hawaiian sweet rolls. 2. My son's supposed to be A5 Teppanyaki Wagyu steak was chewy which questions if it was indeed an A5. 3. I picked a long strand of hair from my sukiyaki and pointed in out to our server. 4. The confusing "tier membership" deal which I didn't waste time on after trying to comprehend it for a hot minute. That ticks off one SJ restaurant on my Yelp Collection and a one off experience for us. read more

Meat is good! I like ice cream . And the veggies are good too. Ramune is good too Snow crab croquettes are perfect. More potato though? I love the hand rolls read more

This place was really good. There are so many ayce hotpot spots now, but what makes this place different is the richness of the broth. I got the sukiyaki broth but it was sweet and flavorful, but not to the point where I couldnt keep eating. My friend got the wagyu bone broth, there is a weird aftertaste to it but it was lowkey addicting. I got the brisket and the meat is so tender and the fat makes it taste so good. My friend really like the wagyu tartar roll and i think the rice for the unagi roll was so tasty. The dan tat (egg tart) was delicious it was flaky and the filling was not too sweet but still really flavorful. This place is worth the try and the lowest tier is still so good. read more

I came here when they first opened and got the sukiyaki set where they grill the meats in sukiyaki sauce and you had the option of adding on all you can eat after. It was fine but pricey. Since then they've changed their menu to mostly Acye shabu with some grilling. However, this is my review for the hand roll bar that they advertise. You can get a set or order à la carte. We came in for lunch on a Saturday and told the host over the phone that we would only be ordering à la carte and he said it was fine. We ordered 1 salmon, 2 hamachi, 2 toro, 2 king crab, and uni rolls. They were out of toro which was fine. When we first ordered they gave us two dipping sauces and a banchan which was weird because it seemed like sauces that you would get for hotpot. I asked for soy sauce and wasabi and the server said that one of the sauces was soy sauce and he would get me wasabi. I tried the sauce he pointed to and I'm not sure if it was a house made soy but it just tasted like a sukiyaki dipping sauce. All rolls came out at once except for the uni and we were still waiting on the wasabi. We had to asked 3 people and saw the servers trying to look for it. Ultimately someone told us they were out of wasabi. All of our rolls were soggy by then. I just canceled my uni roll because it was a waste of money at that point. All the hand rolls tasted mediocre. Usually for crab rolls they're made with mayo but ours was just crab it was super dry. I understand this isn't a sushi restaurant but I don't think they should be advertising a "kazunori-style" handroll bar if they're not even going to put any effort into it. They have a premium handroll that is $50 for one!! If you're gonna charge that price for anything make sure you're doing things correctly. This restaurant seems like it's all over the place. Menus changing constantly always out of menu items. PS my sister came here 2 weeks ago and got their second tier but they were out of 2 of the 3 meats for that tier and she still paid full price so ridiculous. PSS they don't sell alcohol here which is very strange for a fatty Wagyu place. read more

We had reservations for 6:30pm seating and were seated upon checking in. Atmosphere is a very intimate and cozy vibe which is perfect for any small or individual parties looking for a comfortable dining experience. I also liked that we could order on the tablet for quick service and felt it was easy to request for certain food items. We loved the quality of meat and were happy with the middle tier since we couldn't decide which on to get. Definitely a 10/10 experience and I'm glad we celebrated our 7 year anniversary here. I'd be excited to come back! Our server Anson also checked in on us and took great care of our table. read more

First time here was GREAT. Amazing quality of beef and even better service thanks to Brandon. I had thought with how busy staff was that we'd have to wait a little long but our orders came out almost instantly.

Tried this place and it was pretty well executed. It's a japanese style hotpot where they bring all the meat and toppings to you. It's part of the chubby group where there is 3 tier types of meat to choose from. We got the middle tier and honestly the meat were all pretty good. It's similar to mikiya, but has less toppings and less varieties. For its price, I expect to have grilled bone marrow, calamari, and the lobster rolls were out that day. The service was decent as there were downtime when the meat didn't arrive fast enough so we waited 15 mins for the meat to come. The place is small, and seated about 40 people and in a u shape boat so it's not meant for big party. Mikiya can seat more people imo. I wish they have seafood option to the hotpot so for this price, they didn't have any. I'd rather go chubby cattle or mikiya if I want either grilled meat or hotpot. This one felt slightly below it. They don't even have tiger shrimps, abalone, snow crabs like mikya and it's the same price. Each person gets their own hotpot broth so get the sukiyaki where the broth is sweet and umami bomb. I have the membership so the price is discounted by $10/person. It's worth it to get the membership since you get a free meal on your bday. The sushi was ok, and not the freshesh. I hope they add more over time. It advertise toro tuna, but didn't have it on the menu. The wait wasn't long, but it was a weekday so come prepare to wait 1+ hrs on a weekend. read more

Came here on a Saturday night, wait time for 2 was about 1 hr and 30 mins. Got sat around 7:30pm? We chose the middle tier. We requested to eat outside as it was nice. Youre able to choose 2 broths and we chose spicy tom yum and sukiyaki. I prefered the sukiyaki more but overtime it just got too rich for the meats... tom yum I wasnt a fan. The meats were really good despite the very thin cuts. I wished the servers that brought out the meats tell us what which ones were. For the veggies, they were standard. You could ask for specific veggies so that you don't waste. My partner got the wagyu rice bowl which was a lot - don't get it unless you will finish. Portion size is too big! I loved the handrolls! We tried a handful of the more premium ones. Favorite was the wagyu ribeye roll. I love how dessert was offered such as ice cream and crepe cake. Overall I feel like the flavor depth could've been better for everything. It wasn't flavorful enough for us but maybe it's the restaurant's style. read more

TIME: came here around 6:30, we were put on a waitlist, we didn't get sat around 7:00 pm which isn't bad at all PLACE: the place was pretty big, the table is one big square bar seating type of thing, there is also an outside seating FOOD: we got the classic A4 wagyu AYCE, i got spicy miso tonkotsu, so freaking good and they gave me a special wagyu specific to the base i got. we got pretty much every meat we could get for everything and we ordered pretty much every hand roll as well lol, you order through a tablet and we also got dessert, everything was so good. OVERALL: i honestly need to go back and give more of an in depth explanation of the highest tier because i feel like you would get more of your moneys worth and plus if you have a little too splurge this would be perfect. read more

I recently went here with my friend, and I personally got the spicy miso soup base which was a little bit salty and my friend got the Wagyu bone broth which also was a bit salty. I'm not sure if that's just the batch that we experienced or if it's normally that salty, but it definitely was a little bit more than what we'd like/expect. there were two other additional soup based options which included the Tom Yum as well as the passionfruit that we tried and out of the two, I would say that the passionfruit one is actually pretty good. I was a bit skeptical just because the idea of having passionfruit as a soup base feels odd, but the flavor is actually really worked out and there's only a small hint of that. but I think I wanted something a little bit more familiar in terms of flavors I went with the spicy miso. The hand rolls that were available that we tried were pretty good (wagyu tartare/wagyu beef/hotate - scallop) and the meat quality was pretty good for the shabu. I feel like this is a spot that I would recommend to try at least once, but not a spot that I consistently go back to. Their service was good/chill. I would say tht my experience was very self driven - big as a lot of it was able to be addressed on the iPad (like ordering and etc). Additional Info: - lots of parking in the parking lot - not great for large groups bc its more bar table seats - great for 2-3 people groups - good for dates/friends hang out - come hungry since its AYCE read more

Wowow Chubby group never fails to impress! I honestly liked this place better than mikiya since the excellent meat quality remained the same but the broths and sauces had much better flavor. They also now offer AYCE shabu that also comes with AYCE hand rolls. We got the signature tier which was $88 per person. Genuinely not a single bad dish, from starters, sides, meats, broths, etc. Yes it is expensive but worthy of a very occasional splurge! Minh & Sean were our servers and they were super attentive, informative, and friendly. Very welcoming as well. They made our experience even better. read more

Got Wagyu AYCE and it turned out to be such an immersive and premium Japanese tasting menu! I tried the Signature Sukiyaki Tasting Menu ($98/person), which includes multiple courses from appetizers and specialty dishes to dessert. One of the standout moments was watching the beautifully marbled A5 Wagyu Ribeye and Striploin prepared table-side, 10/10 vibes. Rich, buttery and incredibly tender, literally melts! Some of my favorite bites were: Wagyu uni handroll A5 Wagyu Nigiri A5 Wagyu Ribeye and Striploin If sukiyaki isn't your style, they also offer shabu shabu and all-you-can-eat options, so there's something for every kind of wagyu lover. If you're still craving more, you can even request for unlimited slices of Wagyu meats or upgrade your meal with quality add-ons. Thank you to the staff- Ted, Shawn, Josh, Andrew for the best service at Wagyu Master, we had such a great time. read more

Wagyu Master is located in the Paseo de Saratoga shopping center in San Jose. Part of the Chubby Group. No reservations but can join the waitlist on Yelp or upon arrival. We went on a Friday evening around 5ish and no wait. They have a 35 person seating capacity, dine-in only. As of June 27, they still don't have their liquor license. We were encouraged to download the "Chubby Club" which has member tiers. The standard membership is free and you can have 1 complimentary drink. They also have membership for a fee as follows: Chubby Club Plus for $88/year (now $58) and Chubby Club One for $28/year. On to their menu: They have 2 types of Tasting Menu 1. Sukiyaki Tasting Menu - $98 for non members and $85 for members. If you go for AYCE - + $20 for non members and $14 for members - this type of menu is more of the grilling side 2. Shabu Shabu tasting Menu - $88 for non members and $75 for members. If you go AYCE - +$25 for non members and $20 for members - this type is more of the soup base. They also have the Lunch tasting Menu and Sukiyaki Lite Menu from Monday - Thursday for much cheaper pricing. Complimentary drinks are Pepsi, Starry, Dr. Pepper and Hot green tea. We opted for the Sukiyaki Tasting menu, skipped the AYCE because the regular menu was too much for us. For our food: Chef's Daily Special * Assorted Japanese Pickles Zensai (choose 1) * Tempura Fried Assortment - good (2 servings of this * Poke Salad - husband loved it, never got the chance to try it though (they served 2, possibly by mistake but hey, I'm no complaining just confused) - son wanted the Chicken Karaage or A5 Wagyu Musubi but they were out of it Specialty Dish (choose 1) * A5 Wagyu Handroll w/ Foie Grass * Lobster Roll w/ Uni & Caviar - people were raving about it, that it's a must order but I was not a fan, it was too basic, didn't even finish mine. * A5 Teppanyaki Wagyu Steak - it was too hard Main Course: * A5 Wagyu Striploin w/ Snow Peas and Leeks * A5 Wagyu Ribeye w/ Shitake Mushrooms & Yaki Tofu *A5 Wagyu Ribeye w/ Snow Peas & Konjac Noodles Additional Selections: unlimited by request so we had 1 order each of the A5 wagyu Top Round, A5 Wagyu Shoulder, A4 Wagyu Brisket (we ordered 2 for this) & Vegetable Platter Dessert: * Matcha Mochi * Vanilla Ice Cream *Matcha Mille Crepe Overall, the meal was decent and pricey.

Pro tip: Save room for the egg tarts! We came to Wagyu Master for my husband's birthday and decided to splurge on the AYCE hand rolls with the Premium A5 Wagyu add on option. Honestly, we probably would have been just as happy with the Signature Wagyu add-on since the meats were very similar, and we could've saved about $40 per person. No regrets though since we came for a special occasion! The service was excellent. Bhone was attentive, checked on us often, and kept the meat coming the entire meal. If I could change one thing, it would be the amount of rice in the hand rolls. There was a little too much, which threw off the meat-to-rice ratio. We asked if they could make them with light rice, but unfortunately that wasn't an option. And whatever you do, save room for dessert. The egg tarts were easily some of the best I've had in a long time. Overall, this was another awesome meal from the Chubby Group. They continue to impress, and we can't wait to check out more of their restaurants! read more

My second time dining at Wagyu Master, and it's long overdue for me to leave a review. I celebrated my friend's birthday here with a group of 8, and the staff did an amazing job accommodating our party. From seating arrangements to service throughout the meal, everyone was attentive, friendly, and made the celebration feel special. Of course, the star of the show was the wagyu. It is prepared sukiyaki and hot pot style. The quality and flavor were exceptional, and every course felt thoughtfully prepared. It's the kind of meal that makes you slow down and savor each bite. Each guest receives a personal chef that prepares each course right in front of you, which makes the experience exceptional. Thank you Chef Scarlet for your amazing service. While our large group had a fantastic time, I think Wagyu Master truly shines with smaller parties. The setting and dining experience feel more personal and intimate, allowing you to fully appreciate the food and hospitality. Thank you to the team for helping make this experience memorable. I'll definitely be back again! read more

Tried this new sukiyaki and shabu-shabu hot pot spot on a Friday around 1 PM and joined the Yelp waitlist. It was busy with about a one-hour wait, but it was totally worth it! The ambiance was modern, neat, and clean, with high countertop seating that gave it a stylish bar-like feel. The service was excellent--shoutout to our server, Michael, who was attentive and gave great recommendations. I had the Shabu Shabu tasting, while my husband ordered the Sukiyaki tasting. The A5 Seared wagyu nigiri literally melted in my mouth, and the Otoro uni caviar hand roll was amazing. All of the A5 wagyu was top quality, and we loved that they cooked the meat for us with the sukiyaki course. Highly recommend this place, and we'll definitely be back! read more
