Lewis was AMAZINGGGG!!! He's so informative and well spoken!! He really made us feel like apart of the family!!

Oh, where do I begin?! I was here last night with my home girl after I finished my workday over at Costco in Topanga. I was impressed from the very minute that I was taken to my seat. You basically order your meat, sushi, and kitchen items from a tablet, which sounds extremely convenient. The buffet has an amazing selection of vegetables, sides, sauces, and what nots. I was impressed with the fact that they had pasteurized eggs that you can crack on top of your rice. And their miso soup station was well stocked. As for the meat, the quality was incredible! The Wagyu was melt-in-your-mouth amazing! Their pork belly was delicious. And their sushi was fresh, made to order, and did not disappoint. Especially their wasabi, which tasted like the real thing that you get in Japan. The vibe of the entire restaurant was the textbook definition of "Futuristic", "Fun", and "Luxurious". Everything, down to the last grain of rice, was well worth our $128.09* expense that my table incurred. (*- after the chubby club discount, tax, and tip.). I will for sure be returning when the finances permit it! read more

Gread quality meat and sides. Food was absolutely delicious however the spotlight has to be given to my guy Tyler. True professional , awesome recommendations and made the stay that much better.

Stopped here tonight with the family. It was my first time here and I must say this place was amazing. My compadre was the one who showed me this place and we decided to finally try it tonight. The food: 1000/1000 we went with the gold option and it was amazing. So many wonderful cuts of Waygu beef and the recommendations from our server were great: we also had the sides and I must say the Waygu burger was so good, I can see why it would run out really fast. The deserts were so good and lots of amazing options. I enjoyed the unlimited beverages as well. Service: top notch service, our server was Tyler and he went above and beyond for our party. He made sure our experience was an excellent one. He was kind, courteous and you can tell he takes pride in his work. The inside was very nice and clean, this used to be another restaurant back in the days so it was nice to come back to my old stepping grounds. Drove over 60 miles to come here and I will definitely be coming back. Thank you Tyler for the hospitality. read more

Chubby Cattle is a place of variety, indulgence and quality, a good treat. You can eat self prepared BBQ meats and refreshing sushi options at the same time. Obviously the quality is great, they have many premium options including waygu beef all you can eat. The service was good from our host, positive attitude and welcoming, until he started to mention their membership and if we wanted to join five times after saying no. Earlier we called to get information before arriving and they can't even have a staff member answer the call, an AI bot was struggling to assist and answer our questions. Everything is ordered on a tablet. The amount of self service at this restaurant is nauseating, considering the price to dine in. You can order every 7 minutes until time is up. Ambiance is active and the upbeat music playlist is about at a medium volume. The experience is streamlined to get you in and out, I was not a fan of the constant badgering to join their membership, especially at checkout. There is an egregious amount of self service that could be handled by staff, for the price range, having everyone run around each other to grab drinks and grab items from the cold bar and other self service areas is strange. Located on the first floor by Target at the Topanga mall, parking in the structure. read more

I got the gold tier, it was a nice option to try the "tasting experience" as it was our first time, but honestly could have done without it. This place is more on the pricier side, but for the silver tier, it's a solid opt. There were a few items on the menu that we tried that we did not like at all, it had to be taken away lol but there were a lot of items we did enjoy! Our server nick was knowledgeable and friendly. This is a type of restaurant where you order through the tablet and the food comes to your table, the server does come around often to check in on you and to change the grills. Jasper was also really good at taking away any of our empty/ dirty dishes every time he dropped off food. When I first arrived, I was trying to get the host attention so that I could get checked in but she is not welcoming and bit rude. She is constantly looking down at her tablet then walking away. Then just calls whoever is next on the tablet, not acknowledging anyone new coming in! Me and another guest were so confused we had to flag her down to get checked in which is so odd. I've never been to a restaurant where a host made us feel like we are an inconvenience to her!! Anyway,after we did check in, we had to wait another 20 mins or so for our table to be ready. Lowkey being added to the wait yourself vs reservation seems like the same wait time which defeats the purpose of a reservation. read more

Chubby Cattle - Barbeque Near Me - Canoga Park, California

As a huge fan of Chubby Cattle, I am incredibly disappointed to say that this specific location has been a miss ever since it opened. I've given it three chances now, and each visit has been a poor experience. After my most recent visit, I felt compelled to finally write a review. We ordered the highest tier (Diamond), expecting a premium experience, but our server, Kai, was completely rude and unprofessional. Throughout the night, he barely checked on us or cleared our plates. Instead, he repeatedly approached our table just to scold us about having only 30 minutes left. When last call approached, we placed a larger order to wrap up our meal. Kai came over and lectured us about the size of the order, warning us that we would have to pay for leftovers even though we ended up finishing absolutely everything. When we tried to put in one final item before the system even shut down, he arbitrarily told us he was canceling it because we "couldn't order anymore." It is incredibly frustrating to be paying customers spending over $600, only to be spoken to so disrespectfully about ordering food during valid service hours. To top it off, after dropping off the check and taking our payment, we went to get dessert. Kai approached us yet again and told us we needed to leave, essentially kicking us out of the restaurant. We've been to so many Chubby concepts and never have once been treated like this. read more

We've been here a total of two times and each time has been amazing! We had Nick and Kai serving us and they've been amazing. Always checking in on us, making sure we get the best service, and just vibed with them. They're so easy to chat up. It's more expensive than your AYCE experience but it's really worth it especially for special occasions. It's a sit down upscale JBBQ spot and while I love their meats, I think about their lobster roll, Wagyu slider, and carpaccio the most alongside their unlimited milk tea and egg tarts. Next time we come, we hope we get to run into Nick and Kai again! They both work really hard and the quality of their service definitely shows. read more

I love k bbq but this was a different experience than most others! The meat is so fresh. Love that Yu can see them prep it. The sides are all self serve and have many options from soups to fruits. Your price includes a drink and desserts as well. Besides the meats, the wagyu burger was delicious! Service was excellent. Everyone was friendly . Ordering is self done on a tablet. It was loud and busy. So can tell it's good food! For a place like this I expect ut to be loud. read more

We were here a couple months ago, and tonight we are back to celebrate my hubby's birthday...and yes, I'm happy happy to say service is 100% on point, super nice and helpful. I also learned tonight, just in case if you were wondering...On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays it is only Walk-In no reservations...wait time varies, but Mon thru Thursday you can make reservations and also do walk-in's. We still love the choices from the digital menu, and totally enjoyed the birthday jingle surprise!! OH! I love love their Earl Grey roll cake!! I had 2 slices!! (Gasp)! It's totally fun inside! I love the interior designs. read more

Delicious food and stellar service! Absolutely worth the wait and the price. This was my first time dining at Chubby Cattle, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. There's a variety of meat to choose from, from rich and savory wagyu to thinner briskets. All meat is very high quality cuts, taste amazing even without sauce. The sushi was just OK to me. Some of the rice was undercooked and so randomly crunchy in some parts, and the taste of the fish was just acceptable. The hand rolls were pretty good, though. Love the assortment of sides and appetizers to choose from, and the self service drinks, salads, desserts, and sides. There's even dim sum! And the slushies are so good. I actually didn't like the milk tea much, too creamy and sweet for me, but YMMV. There's just so much to eat and drink here, and the portions are just right. Loved the ambiance and the service. The only drawback was the wait time (quite long on a weekend for lunch) and the fact that it got super smoky in the area we sat. Even the restrooms were noticeably smoky. However, our table and others in the area were moved to a section with significantly better ventilation. It seems like ventilation could be a recurring issue here, but they also seem to be aware of it and can shift your table somewhere better if it gets too smoky. Overall, highly recommend this place! read more

Chubby Cattle in Woodland Hills, located inside the Westfield Topanga Mall, is a super fun and elevated Korean BBQ-style experience featuring Japanese wagyu. It's easy to get to, on the bottom floor, next to Target. It gets super busy, so make sure to go super early to put your name down. Oh! And make sure you come hungry. The atmosphere is modern, lively, and upscale compared to your typical KBBQ. You're given a set dining time, and there's also a 7-minute window in which you can place each order, which can feel a little stressful at first since you're trying to decide, order, cook, and eat all at once. I took a few pictures but we probably had 30 more plates and with the time constraints, it was hard! We went with the Silver Tier, and it was amazing. The quality of the meat was excellent, especially the Japanese wagyu, which was rich, tender, and full of flavor. Everything we ordered tasted high quality and well worth it. There's also a walk-up area where you can grab extras like fresh vegetables, curry, soup, corn/sweet potato with cheese, desserts, and even a wagyu hamburger, which we heard was delicious. The milk teas were also really good and a nice pairing with the meal. The experience can feel a bit overwhelming at first, but our server Tyler was incredible. He helped us put in our first order, gave great recommendations, and made sure we understood how everything worked. His attentiveness really made the experience smooth and enjoyable. Overall, Chubby Cattle is a unique, high-quality wagyu BBQ experience that's definitely worth trying. Just be ready for a fast-paced start - and if you get Tyler, you're in great hands! We'll definitely be back! **Tip** Sign up for their yearly membership. The initial cost and what you save pays for itself. read more

Chubby Cattle is beautifully decorated, well serviced, and has delicious food. I probably won't go again. The good - all the food was fresh with plenty of variety. Buffet options were great too. There a rice machine that serves exactly the amount of rice you want, like R2D2 scooping your portion. I really liked the wagu stew and all the meats. I would skip the sushi. The bad - the dining experience, while fun, was not relaxing at all. There is a timer that counts down like a game show, ticking time bomb. When the timer finishes, you order your limited number of dishes and the timer stars again. It feels like a game show to maximize your orders rather than tasting a variety of beautifully aged fatty meats. The restaurant itself is clean but very congested. I would recommend checking it out, but I'll be making return trips to the chubby cattle in Vegas read more

I was so impressed by the selection of food options there was a huge variety and i love that they had seafood options too. It was so cool to be able to choose buffet style for the side dishes. The quality of the meat was amazing. I have never experienced everything like this. We went a little late but they also took a long time to sear us so we were unable to enjoy the experience to the full extent. It seemed like they wanted us to leave in a hurry. For the price it would've been worth if we had more time. read more

We had a great time here. Food tastes really good, there are a lot of options to choose from. Our server Joseph is one of the best!

The food was excellent, ambiance was a chill vibe & the service was fast! TY, Joseph! All of your recommendations were on point.

Had an amazing time here with my cousins: CID helped us a lot and cooked our premium meats. The food tasted delicious and the service was great. The place has a casual ambiance that is good for family and friends. They have three tiers of AYCE and I always get the gold tier because I feel like it has great value. Their salt is very unique and pairs well with the meat. We loves the thin-sliced beef tongue, A5 Brisket, and miso beef. We waited about 25-30 minutes on a Friday evening. This location is in the mall across from Target. They also have a bar where you can get milk tea, desserts, kimchi, fruits, and condiments, among other things. read more

Chubby Cattle - Barbeque Near Me - Canoga Park, California

We waited about 50 minutes for a table at 6:30pm on a Tuesday, which is wild (but accurate according to the original quoted wait time). By this time, some of the things I really wanted to try (beef tongue, wagyu enoki, fruity wagyu, fried tofu, chicken karaage etc) were sold out. The rest of the wagyu cuts were good, but the thin cuts were harder to cook as they easily stick to the grill. I can see the appeal of this location relative to others: the beverage bar, "dim sum", salad bar, curry/miso dispenser, grab and go wagyu burgers/egg tarts, and dessert station are unique, though the stations can get messy, and takes a bit of time to be refilled. mini milk tea dispenser for people that are waiting is cool and generous. Unfortunately, the novelty makes for lack of quality. We tried almost everything on the Silver Tier ($58), all of which were underwhelming except for - Durian sweet potato: can actually taste the durian! Goes delightfully well with the melted cheese - Egg Tart: flaky and does the job - earl gray roll: soft, fluffy, not overly sweet - carpaccio: not fishy, decent sized cuts. Baked salmon had more rice than i'd like tho. - takoyaki: crispy outside, sizeable octopus inside. Worth a try - jasmine/samurai (pandan like flavor) MT Don't recommend: - the "dim sum" if you're expecting anything authentic as the shu mai is filled with rice, and the dumpling with a weird shrimp paste. The har gow-like one was probably the better tasting one to try. - tom yum soup: it's like tart water, though the mussels and shrimp weren't bad - miso soup: no tofu/seaweed - chicken cartilage: too hard to chew - curry: lukewarm, flavor lacking. Tender meat tho Service: The hostess who took us in pointed us out to the different stations, which was nice, but I think she got distracted because once we sat at the table, she started talking to a coworker and quickly left... we didn't know what to wait for lol. We kinda awkwardly sat for a few minutes until Anthony came by who was great! He explained things clearly and was quick to offer grill changes. Parking: go through the owensmouth entrance for the mall! Plenty of spots Ultimately, I prefer the SGV locations. Prob won't be back for awhile read more

Why Chubby Cattle? - Quality meat and a good amount of apps, cold dishes, desserts, drinks, soups, and hot dishes - Servers can help you cook - Fast touchscreen ordering system Why Not Chubby? - The time limit makes it difficult to eat and enjoy your experience especially as a group. By the time you understand the ordering system, cook your food and explore the salad bar area its up. - Top tier A5 meats are limited based on the package you get - They keep pushing their membership Would I come back? Maybe but it gets pricey per person Service 4/5 Good service from our server and the host/front desk area Ambience 4/5 Fairly clean despite the rush of people and amount of food/drink at the bar areas Food 4/5 My friend said it best "It's like an upscale Gyu-kaku" hahaha read more

First off this restaurant is located in the first floor (yes I got lost and went to all 3 floors). They were so accommodating for us coming in at 1:55 for lunch and they close at 3 for dinner turn over. They were very helpful showing all the included stations from drinks, desserts, sauces, veg, and soup/rice. The iPad for ordering was a bit glitchy but our waiter was always on it for slapping it around to get it to work (kidding!) Food quality was great and very tasty! The tarts were where it's at so save room! We were trying to rush to leave by 3 and they do stop taking meat orders a bit before so I didn't take any pics but definitely worth it especially if you're a Chubby member! read more

Ferny was excellent and was so attentive to our orders and taking care of our table. Made our dinner memorable

Lewis was THE BEST. So attentive and overall a 10/1000 server. Would definitely enjoy having him as our server again.

Cid took care of our party of 12! He was very accommodating and on top of everything. All our requests were fulfilled and he was attentive to our orders and clearing our plates. Thanks for the top notch service, Cid! Food quality was awesome and service was amazing. We loved the hip hop playing and the Japanese style decor. read more

Came on a Friday night with a party of 5, waitlist was 60 minutes, and we were seated in the very back at a table with a chair at the end, it was very crowded at the bar. They also ran out of miso soup bowls and spoons.... You also have to walk all the way to the front to get your soda/water but the day I came, they also ran out of ice so the sushi chef had to grab ice from his ice machine for us.... Felt rushed, got introduced 3 servers...... felt like this location doesn't serve well to larger crowds, but thank you Kai and Cid for helping us through our experience..... read more

The service was on the slow side. Food was not my favorite. Thinking back I may just not be that much into meat. I think the burger was okay but ditch the American cheese, buns were not the best. My favorite part was the onions because I just love onions. The place is clean which is a huge bonus. Got some Portuguese style desert but was maybe not cooked all the way. The rice was really sticky and as a Persian it's just not the type of rice I'm used to so not sure I'd go for it again. Beef was very tender yet too salty. Well done but too salty. Gravy was also abundant. Some more veggies maybe? Ambience seems too casual but it's not a very cheap place. Maybe I'm being too harsh. Just make sure you really like meat. read more

Chubby Cattle - Front desk - Barbeque Near Me - Canoga Park, California

Chubby Cattle at Topanga Mall is a really fun and different take on AYCE Korean BBQ/hot pot. The vibe is modern and high-energy with lots of tech touches, this location the food is delivered by actual servers (not robots like some people expect from other locations). They have three tiers of wagyu you can choose from, including higher-end options, and honestly the meat is the star here. The wagyu is sooo good super tender and melts in your mouth. Definitely worth it if you're going for the meat quality. The sliders were really good and juicy, and the rice station is super cool you just put your bowl down, press a button, and it automatically fills your bowl with rice. I wasn't really into the sushi though. I've had way better elsewhere, so I wouldn't come here for that. But for wagyu and the overall experience, it's a good time. Overall, fun spot, good energy, and I'd come back mainly for the wagyu. Does get busy..but you also eat fast lol read more

I've been to Chubby Cattle before during grand opening weekend and had a great experience, which is why we were so excited to bring my mom for her first visit this past Saturday (2/28). We hyped it up to her, so she came in really excited to try it. We expected the one-hour wait and put ourselves on the list -- no issues there. But once we were seated, we immediately noticed how hot it was inside. It felt like there was very little ventilation, which made it uncomfortable throughout the meal. Unfortunately, quite a few items weren't stocked during our 90-minute visit. When I first went to the bar, there was no kimchi. The miso soup had no tofu. I let our server Anthony know, and to his credit, he was very kind and proactive -- he went to the back to notify the kitchen and came back to let me know it had been refilled. He even offered to grab it for me, which I appreciated. However, when I went back up, there was still no tofu, so I had to flag someone else down to ask again. Several items labeled on the table were also unavailable the entire time: no shumai, no soup dumplings, no octopus dumplings, and no lobster dumplings. The steam baskets weren't even out and never appeared during our visit. The chocolate layered crepe was only refilled once, and there were no egg tart refills for most of our time there. There was also no more refills on the milk tea - they had put a sign over it. On our last call, we ordered one more round of scallops, but they never came -- and we had already paid the bill. Eventually, another server brought them over, but by then our grill had been turned off. When we let her know, she asked, "Do you want it or not?" We ended up taking them, and she turned the grill back on. I had also been waiting for fresh egg tarts and let Anthony know I was specifically holding out for those. When they finally came out, I grabbed a few while we were finishing the scallops. Shortly after sitting down, Anthony came by and let us know we only had two minutes left -- not realizing another server had just dropped off our last order of scallops. I mentioned there was no way I could eat piping hot egg tarts in two minutes, and he kindly told me I could take them since we were already over our time limit. I want to emphasize that Anthony was polite and did his best, and I still left a pretty good tip because I know some of these issues are likely operational and not entirely on the servers. That said, for the price point, it was disappointing to see so many items unavailable and not being restocked consistently. I really loved our first visit, which is why this experience was such a letdown. I hope this was just an off day, because I do think this place is great -- but consistency and fully stocked options are important, especially when you're paying a premium price. read more

The food, the service, and the experience is awesome! I wish I could eat more but my stomach can only hold so much! Hehe

I pretty much outgrew AYCE when I tried Barkjeong, but Chubby Cattle is probably the only place I'd do AYCE. Their quality and price is unmatched. You could tell from the interior or the place that they take their reputation seriously. My server, Rhenar, was awesome and so informative! Definitely the best AYCE in the game. read more

All in all, it was great to celebrate special occasion or when you are craving both A5 wagyu and/or sushi. read more

So glad this place has opened so close to us! It's an all you can eat Japanese bbq with so many amazing food options. Located on the first level of the topanga mall, next to target. Parking is ample so should not be an issue. Reservations should be made because since it's fairly new, wait times can be as high as 2 hours. Once seated they give you 90 min. Food was a 5/5! They have 3 packages you can choose from and the main difference is the type of beef. Silver, gold and diamond tier, one is American Wagyu and the other Japanese. They also offer a variety of sides, drinks and desserts. Staff was amazing and most everything came out quickly. Inside was very clean and spacious and unlike other bbq places, there was no strong odor. Must try dishes are the wagyu burger and the dim sum, aside from the bbq. Will absolutely be coming back!! read more
