Daryl goes above and beyond to provide excellent service and a great dining experience

Eric is great! very accomodating and helpful. Had a great time dining because if him! He would assist and always check up on us. I didn't stress out too much grilling because he was always there to assist. read more

Our first time here and our server Kayla was very helpful and kind. Her service was prompt and made good recommendations.

Our experience at Chubby Cattle was great. We had a large party of 8 and were seated promptly at opening. The meat quality was good as always, and we all left super satisfied. One thing I did want to specifically note was the top notch service from our server, Jordan. He was super attentive and frequently checked in with us to see if we needed anything. There was hardly a moment we had an empty raw meat tray on the table -- he always noticed immediately and cleaned it up right away. Definitely recommend this location and our server, Jordan -- we'll be coming back again! read more

It's my family's first time coming to Chubby Cattle! We went to Chubby Mart last week, and since we got the membership, we wanted to check out other locations too. The food was great, the atmosphere is also nice and high-end-feeling, felt no pressure even with the 90 minute time limit. The best part of the meal was Eric! He was very vibrant and full of energy, came back to check up on us constantly, and made us feel welcome and well treated. We only just finished now but we're already talking about coming back. Thanks Eric! read more

Shoutout to our server, Moses! He was an EXCELLENT server, full of knowledge, helped cook our meat as this was our first time (since posting this review, I have been twice now!) I honestly wish I had taken photos of the meats and food and we ordered, because that is the whole point after all. However, I was so lost in the options, experience, ambiance, in the moment that I did not. However, let me just tell you that this is THE BEST MEAT I HAVE EVER TASTED. The A5 meat literally needs to be cooked for SECONDS on the grill and just melts in your mouth. Steak, A5 wagyu, sushi, lamb, etc. nothing disappointed. The rice dispenser is the coolest thing I have ever seen. So many options of sides to choose from and desserts. We were completely in awe and overwhelmed in the best way! We did opt for the membership and will continue to go to this location (because it is the closest to us). If you go at least once a month as a nice date night treat, this will be completely worth it! read more

We are so happy with Chubby Cattle Cerritos and it's all thanks to our server Michael! Let me start off by saying that our first CC experience was in Pleasanton, CA. It was so bad that we refused to go to any CC after that. However, while planning Father's Day with our families, this was the best location for everyone to meet. My boyfriend and I were hesitant, but we were hopeful for a better experience. Right off the bat we were happier with the ambiance. While the restaurant was busy, it wasn't stressful and hectic. The dark walls and meat display also help with the ambiance. The aisles had enough space for walking and didn't feel crowded. The touch screen for ordering was also something we were thankful for. It's the little things! (We didn't have iPads dying on us multiple times that delayed our ability to order. This was our experience in Pleasanton). The meat cuts were all really good. Our favorites include: all short ribs, A5 wagyu foie gras nigiri, A5 brisket, and wagyu short plate. My boyfriend also really liked the bibimbap. Our least favorite was the ribeye, mainly because it's thick cut and chewy. Cutting them into smaller pieces helped. Our server Michael was extremely hospitable and took excellent care of our party of 8! He was very thorough, attentive, super friendly and gave us A+++ service! Thank you Michael! read more

I came on a Saturday with some friends. It must have been an off day because they were running out of everything throughout our time there. I will say that the cuts of meat my friends and I did manage to get were pretty good. There were definitely some cuts that were just silverskin, so we ended up not eating those because it was too tough. Other than that, they were out of a lot of the desserts, which was quite disappointing. The power also kept going out, which messed up our seating time and our orders as the system didn't receive several of our submissions. The server kept coming back to us several times. I think the frequency increased with the power going out, but overall, it felt overbearing and anxiety-inducing. Suffice to say, I didn't have a good first time here. read more

SO DISAPPOINTED!!!!! Maybe this is totally my fault, but I had NO IDEA the AYCE did NOT pertain to EVERYTHING you purchased in the tier you selected. We selected the GOLD (middle of the road) and when shown how to use the ordering system, realized the AYCE meats only pertained to the super thin cuts! YOU CAN ONLY GET ONE ROUND of the thick cut A5 Wagyu type. The drink selections seemed impressive at first, but it's really nothing more than "serve yourself" fountain drinks, which includes 2 types of milk tea. No big deal. The cold section is really disappointing. A few vegetables & fruits, Kim chi, which you can barely see due to the dry ice smoke that covers this section. Nothing to brag about. Sizzler does a better job! The dessert area is mixed with a curry & stew pots and an auto dispenser rice machine that plops a serving of rice in your bowl. There are also mini hamburgers, mashed sweet potato and corn cheese (there was absolutely NO CHEESE) in aluminum tins next to the Hokkaido cream cheese tarts & Portuguese Egg tarts in the warmer. We arrived at 4:45 pm on a Wednesday evening. NOT CROWDED AT ALL, but after we checked in,we were told it would be a 15-20 min wait (?).... The restaurant was literally empty! (see photo). We waited 15, then asked what the problem was. She told me they were waiting to change servers to the night shift crew, which should be seamless to the customer, shouldn't it? ... but the least you should do is tell us as it looks strange that we are made to wait when the restaurant is literally EMPTY! There is also a 90 min time limit and your server will remind you numerous times, WHICH MADE ME FEEL RUSHED. There were 4 of us, so the bill including tip WHICH WAS ADDED ON FOR US... came out to over $100 per person. Sure it advertises AYCE, but make sure you know... that does NOT include everything AND you only have 90 min to manually order, have them deliver, cook it yourself and eat, before they bring you your bill... and don't let the door hit you in the rear. read more

Went here with my friend right when they opened in the morning, and we got Josh as our server. Honestly, he made the experience. He was super kind, attentive, and just genuinely friendly the whole time.But it wasn't just Josh. From the girl at the front who welcomed us in, to the other servers and food runners, everyone was so nice. I don't think people realize how much good service impacts an experience, and this place definitely got that right. One thing I really loved was the self-serve area. They had everything from rice, drinks, and sides available for you to grab yourself, so you don't have to keep asking the workers for every little thing. It made the whole experience feel so much smoother and convenient. The food was SO good. We got the Gold Tier and pretty much tried everything. The meat was amazing, and the dessert was a perfect way to end the meal. We got the matcha dessert with ice cream, and together it was chef's kiss. We came right at opening, but honestly, within about 10 minutes the place was already getting packed, which says a lot. Overall, such a cool spot with great food and even better people. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Great food and excellent service! Our waiter, Darryl, was very friendly and attentive, always making sure we were well taken care of. The quality of the food was outstanding the meat, vegetables, sauces, drinks, and appetizers were all delicious. The only downside was the restaurant's ventilation system. It seemed to work slowly and didn't remove the smoke very effectively, which made it a bit difficult to breathe at times. Compared to RH, RH has the better ambiance, décor, and indoor air quality. This location is smaller, with tables placed quite close together, making the space feel a little cramped. Overall, though, the food and service were excellent. read more

Chubby Cattle - Barbeque Near Me - Cerritos, California

Let me start by saying that being a member of Chubby Club not only pays for itself, but the perks you get makes the whole membership worthwhile. It's finally my chance to take advantage of my Birthday points which gives the primary member a free birthday meal which is a $49.99 value. Just that alone gets you your membership fees worth. Whenever you dine at chubby cattle you receive the member rate which can save you from $8 a person for up to two people for silver tier to $13 for gold and diamond tier. There definitely better benefits if you get the multi brand membership versus the single brand, but either way, you truly get what you pay for. This is not your corners Korean bbq AYCE, but high quality Japanese yakiniku bbq and getting cuts like American Wagyu to A5 Japanese Wagyu based on the tier you choose. The other plus is the quality of service these guys provide. I have been to chubby cattle several times as well as other brands like hot pot shabu Shabu and their service is just exceptional. The Service that your specific servers provide is exceptional. I have not been here and received poor service from any of our direct servers. The support staff is also top notch. This visit our server was Jordan and if I thought our previous servers were a ten star rating, Jordan proved that you can get better than a 10 star rating. Jordan was so on top of our orders that if there was a back up in the kitchen, he would suggest to place other orders such as sushi. He would also advise us of entering additional meat orders so that the kitchen can start prepping it. We as a family prefer not to have heavy marinated meats so he advised the kitchen of all our meat orders not to have any of the marinade. Everything came out how we like it and not once were there any errors of our orders. I have been completely sold to continue my membership with chubby club to continue taking advantage of all the benefits. This birthday visit has to rank amongst the top of any of my visits here at chubby cattle. Can't wait to come back for more delicious Japanese Yakiniku. read more

This is the first time at the Cerritos location and it did not disappoint! I've been to the Rowland heights location and I thought the service couldn't get any better from there, but I was wrong. Moses really took care of us and made sure everything was good. He cooked our meats, changed our grill a couple of times, and even brought us a burger knowing that it is hard to come by at the self service section. Honestly, when it comes to tier selection, the silver tier was perfect for us. Gold is cool too but silver had a lot of good cuts of wagyu choices as well. I really enjoyed the seafood selection. The Argentina shrimp was huge and really sweet! The sushi on the other hand was good too but they were super heavy on the rice. The selection of side dishes was abundant ranging from wagyu burgers to corn cheese. The self service rice and miso was a nice addition. The desserts like the layered cake and cheese egg tarts weren't the best tasting, but the selection of fruits and ice cream topped off our experience. I left feeling super full but satisfied. Meat sweats for days but worth it! read more

Chubby Cattle All You Can Eat: This Japanese restaurant provides exceptional value! My adult sons tested the all-you-can-eat concept thoroughly, and we were impressed. We became members for extra discounts on top of already reasonable prices. You don't have to be a member to eat here. The quality food and excellent service make this a must-try. I highly recommend it--our experience exceeded expectations, and I think you'll enjoy it too. read more

1st time here and although slightly pricey, it's worth it! We ordered from the silver menu. They have a bunch of great cuts. I also loved how they have some sushi item included like the yellowtail carpaccio! They also have "buffet" style veggies, fruits and the drinks are included (soda, lemonade, hot teas, milk teas, slushy). Ice cream is also available! We will def be returning! Big shout out to Michael F. for the awesome service!! Not only was he friendly but helpful from menu selection to assisting with grilling. Always with a smile on his face and just great!! TY Chubby Cattle for having employees like him and I hope you guys appreciate him!! read more

Came here a few times recently and had Kevin as a server twice and Chae once. Kevin was super x2 cool. He was so friendly and made sure my friends had a good time and got me to upgrade to chubby cattle plus. Chae was very friendly as well. I had her on my bday for my meal and they sang a funny song! Def fun to bring bday friends to embarrass them. Overall I have a good time at chubby cattle every time I come. I wish they always had the waygu burger. If you see it, get two! I wish they also had the shu mai. It's always sold out no matter when I come! I love the drinks and the desserts. Lots of fruits and veggies but they're hard to grab for my short arms. Haha. read more

AYCE bbq for a decent price. Went on a Tuesday evening - def use the Yelp waitlist, it took us about 30 minutes to get a table, so you can plan ahead with it. The parking lot is busy, but you'll be able to find a spot a little further out. Had the Silver choices, which had Wagyu but no A5 grade. There's a bar for beverages, fruit, Wagyu soup and curry, corn cheese / sweet potato cheese, veggies, and dessert. The meats are pretty thinly sliced and the trays are exactly what's pictured when you order - 4-5 pieces per tray, so may want to order up if you're a bigger group. The thinly sliced meats make a little tough to enjoy - you don't really taste too much. There are some thicker cut choices but wasn't a fan of the seasoning on them. The meat quality was overall OK, but it is all you can eat - so can't expect too much. Also - was not a fan of the sushi (outside of the wagyu one), definitely on the fishy side. Overall, it's not bad but I personally would prefer Mikiya if I had a choice. read more

Love all the meat, the restaurant decorations, the overall vibe is always a good time :) will be coming back and alway recommend this place to our friends! read more

I came here today to celebrate my fiancée's graduation, and since it was our first time, we weren't sure what to expect. We decided to go with the Diamond tier, and right away our server, Moses, made the experience great. Before we even started, he recommended that we download the Chubby Club app so we could earn points. They were also running a promo for the Chubby Plus membership, and I ended up signing up since we've been to their sibling restaurants like Mikiya and Niku X. The membership gave us the member pricing, which already saved us about half of what the membership cost, so it was an easy decision. Moses took his time walking us through the menu page by page on the screen, answered all of our questions, and even pointed out some of his personal favorites. That really helped since there were so many options. We tried almost everything on the menu, and what stood out to us was the variety with seafood and meat. The sushi and seafood were a nice balance because the A5 Wagyu can get pretty rich and heavy. Our favorites were definitely the specialty items, especially the A5 Wagyu short rib, A5 Wagyu finger meat, Wagyu nigiri, and A5 Wagyu sirloin. Definitely the salmon carpaccio and nigiri are worth the order and can help balance out the meal. The other AYCE items were also really good, especially the ribeye and tender meat. We also loved the open food bar setup with vegetables, sides, and dessert. Overall, we had an amazing experience and would definitely come back. Moses provided excellent service and made our celebration feel even more special. read more

Came in for my bday dinner! Worth it to get beef tongue! Self serve side dishes and a variety of desserts. Service is quick and attentative. Chae was my server, she is really friendly and happy to explain any questions you have. She came by the table often and made grill changes often so the meat wouldn't be too charred. The fruit here is always juicy, they have lychee here. Make sure to get membership, only $30 for a year and they give you $58 dinner for free. Good music too! The boba drinks are a separate cost and they have a variety of self serve drinks! Hot tea and slushies. read more

One of my top AYCE KBBQ spots! Yes, it's pricey, but the quality absolutely delivers. You get premium cuts, gorgeous marbling, flavor and generous variety. The A5 Striploin is melt-in-your-mouth magic. And the A5 Wagyu Foie Gras Nigiri + A5 Wagyu Uni Caviar Nigiri are luxurious little bites of happiness. My go-tos are the Beef Tongue Platter and the Wagyu Brisket, dabbled in their Special Salt. Honestly, there are no bad choices here. Every bite is yummy! Ordering is easypeasy. Just tap the proteins on the tablet to send orders to the kitchen. Meanwhile, you can make unlimited trips to the buffet bar for milk teas, banchan, wagyu sliders, dessert and more. Big shoutout to Neil, Kayla, and Kevin for taking great care of us over our past visits. The servers are sociable, attentive, and quick with grill changes, so we're never stuck cooking on a sad, crusty grill. The vibes are always fun and electric! Tip: there's a 90-minute limit with the last call at 70 minutes. Order up to 10 items every 5 minutes. Be prepared to come hungry and leave mesmerized! read more

First time at a Chubby Cattle. Staff are friendly and very attentive. Great place to gather and have good food. However, the AYCE experience is way different IMO. The meats, shrimp, sushi, and specialties are ordered through a computer program. Very forward thinking. The Curry Wagyu mixed with rice was simply tantalizingly delicious. The Wagyu Steak is 1/4" thick cooking pretty quickly. The pork belly was fantastic along with the large shrimp . Hint: the large shrimp? Suck the head like a crawfish. The smorgasbord bars are set up differently. Sauces, vegetables, fruits and desserts along with 3-4 hot food areas. Inside is very tight but walkable. Just be cognizant when walking around bcz the kitchen does have very hot foods coming out through the walk paths. For the initial price of $58, enjoy the experience and as much Wagyu and large shrimp as possible. For this price up to Premium, I can find better but it's worth a try at least once. Highly recommend, It's expensive IMO but one must try at least once to see and feel it. read more

I've been here multiple times and the service is always amazing. The food is always top tier. My server was the best cause even tho my birthday points had expired by a couple of days, she was able to make it happen. The only down part of tonight's visit was the greeter at the front. She was not very friendly and needs to learn how to smile. I hope they read this and have a conversation with her. I get it, it's the end of the night you're probably tired, but at least fake it. read more

4/11/26 First time here to celebrate my anniversary dinner. I have heard a lot of good things about chubby cattle but never experienced it. We joined the waitlist two hours prior to dining and the time frame worked out. After checking in, we waited another 5 mins before getting seated. Our server Moses was friendly and informative of how the whole dining experience goes. The limited dining time definitely creates some anxiety but it did not affect the amount of food we could devour. Touchscreen ordering was responsive and the left hand corner timer was helpful to check when we could order and how much time we had left. I was impressed by their selection of drinks: hot teas, milk teas, slushies and soda bar. The condiment bar was small but had all the pertinent ingredients. Nice selection of fruits and a great hot food bar area and lastly desserts. Again, I missed out on more than a few things because I enjoyed the A5 meat way too much. We got the gold tier and it was phenomenal. The server cooks the fancy meat and we cook the rest. A5 was just melt in your mouth delicious. Loved the grill grates but must keep a close eye to prevent over cooking the meat. My husband also loved the plate meat. He said it was also super tender and flavorful. The dipping sauce is the bomb. Salmon sashimi fresh. wagyu foi gras. I like my meat a bit more cooked so I put it on the grill for a few seconds and greatly enjoyed it. The hand rolls were good too. Tom yum soup was nice and spicy. Loved it. The overall meat delivery and server check in was very good. Moses also came over to cook for us a few times which was nice. Before we visited, we told ourselves there is absolutely no need to join the chubby club. Well, one meal in, we felt very different and decided to join. Looks like we will be coming back to enjoy this very, very soon. Thank you, Moses for a great dining service! Cheers to the founder David! You really brought the amazing high end Asian buffet concept to the states. Your group truly put in a lot of research into an easy to navigate ordering platform, the selection of food and beverages to the top tier quality of meats and seafood! Customer for life as long as my wallet can afford it. read more

Came here to try the Chubby Cattle BBQ Cerritos location after visiting a few of their other spots, and I was curious how this one would be. From what I've noticed, most locations in this chain are pretty consistent when it comes to quality and service. The food here is really fresh. The meats were good quality, and I also really liked the hot and kitchen items. There's a good variety, so it doesn't feel repetitive even if you come back. The vibe is fun and casual, and the space feels cozy even though it's not too big. Staff were friendly and attentive, and big thanks to our server, Ranier , he made the whole experience more fun and memorable. I could even call him right from my table, which was super convenient. One thing I really like about this location is how convenient it is. You can join the Yelp waitlist when you're still about 2-3 miles away, which gives you more flexibility and saves time. I haven't really seen that at other locations, so it's a nice plus here. Also, there were plenty of parking spots right in front when I came I'd come back again when I'm in the area. read more

First time trying out this location. This location is smaller than the Rowland Height location. The self service bar is also a lot smaller. We got the silver tier to try. The meat selection is the same as the other locations but I have to say the meat tasted a lot better at this location. The meat plates are more flavorful and tender. I am glad this location is closer for us to come back again. Service was excellent. Neil served us tonight and he was attentive. He made sure we received all of our dishes thru out the night. The milk tea here is better too. Not as water down like the one at the RH location. Super easy to find parking here. Definitely will come back again. read more
