Moses was excellent! He made our first time here enjoyable. The food was good and the selection was great, even if you opt for the silver option. This was a dinner to remember. Thanks Moses, see you soon! read more

First time at chubby cattle and it was great! A good variety of options, both for the meal and for desserts. Our server, Jordan, was great - super friendly, attentive, and helpful whenever we had questions! Glad I was finally able to try chubby cattle and it was a great first experience. Will definitely be back! read more

Food was amazing, great quality! Ambiance was great (I love what they do for birthdays)! Our server, Moses, made our first experience here such a good one. We will be coming back soon! read more

Food? Phenomenal. Ambiance? Pure electric vibes. But honestly? The real reason I keep coming back is the unmatched service, specifically Charlie! Charlie is an absolute rockstar. He consistently kept an eye on our meats, perfectly balancing being attentive without any of that awkward, forced small talk. The man knows his stuff, too; he broke down the differences between each tier like an absolute pro. If you're looking for top-tier fresh meats, endless options, and service that makes you feel like a VIP, this is the spot. Huge shoutout to Charlie for making our night! read more

Kevin was great! He deserves a raise! Also the other guy Degas was great too he also deserves a raise 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

Kayla P. Was an awesome host! She grilled our meat and taught us about the cuts of meat. Music was great and sounded just right! Food was filling and the alcohol inebriating. All in all good time! 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

Eaten at this location like 4 times now since moving into the area. It's solid and the value is good. I love all the meat offerings and sides they have available. Food is always fresh and comes in a timely manner even when busy. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu really. We had Moses as our server twice and he is a delight. Good energy, friendly, and pleasant to interact with. Lowkey highlight for me is the wagyu burger! Sad when they weren't available one time we went because of an issue in the kitchen. Little milk tea bar is a nice touch too. Wait can be long because duh. So put your party on waitlist, go walk around, and then enjoy. 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

Less than two weeks ago, my wife and I were here and had an amazing time with Charlie's excellent service. This time we are here for my son's birthday and him being a club member, he got his silver tier on the house. Knowing that, I've really gotten my monies worth for my membership and with my own birthday coming up in a couple of months, I will definitely get more than my monies worth so that has solidified my decision to continue to keep my club membership. This visit we got Moses as our server who was as good of a server as Charlie. I think we need to learn to cook and eat faster so we don't run short of our 70 minutes, but when you have so much to choose from, 70 minutes is just not enough, but I truly understand it because of how well received Chubby Cattle is to the city of Cerritos. I understand the cost of even the silver tier being higher than most Korean BBQ restaurants, but the quality of the Wagyu beef served here at chubby cattle makes the difference in price of other AYCE Bbq restaurants. read more

I'm going to keep checking in as this is my second time here. One more time and I'll start making more recommendations...BUT what I will say: Diamond Menu - just do it. Trust me. Membership - worth it. Vy - listen...I am HUGE on customer service. The food is great...but Vy brings the experience to the next level. People like her could make or break a business...and ...let's just say we have been here twice in a 7 day period. Thanks Chubby Cattle, and thanks Vy!!!!! 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

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

I'm a member of the chubby group and have tried a few of their restaurants. Came here with the hubby for a late lunch early dinner and we were both left unimpressed. Service was efficient and attentive. All the servers were friendly and approachable. The Chubby group has their formula down. Almost Starbucks like, the put enough design effort to elevate the interiors to enhance the dining experience. Asian enough without being gaudy. We've tried all three tiers of their meat levels and this time we settled for the silver as we didn't silver and gold when we've visited their shabu places. Perhaps we should have stuck to the highest level of meat. Earlier in the year we went to the little Tokyo location and truly loved it. Don't get me wrong ñ, everything was good and delicious, just not as delicious as the little Tokyo location. I'll definitely keep in mind that the higher level of meat does make a difference. The Argentinian red shrimp were massive and delicious and unfortunately decided to try it out towards the end. Theres a whole drink station with milk teas, slushes and sodas. Another station with some desserts and veggies. It's worth the price, more so if you are a member. read more

Went to this restaurant for the first time on Mother's Day and it definitely lived up to the hype. We arrived about 30 minutes before opening and there were already around 25-30 people ahead of us in line, which says a lot about how popular this place is. Despite how busy it was, the staff was on point with bringing out our orders quickly. Everyone was very friendly, welcoming, and organized throughout the rush. The self-serve bar was extremely crowded and a few items were missing or not restocked fast enough, but that was understandable given how packed the restaurant was. Overall, the food was great and absolutely worth the price. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again. read more

Food is amazing. Membership to the Chubby Club pays for itself after two visits. There's a little bit of something for everyone and is perfect for groups. Waitlist is long, but just get there and you can wander the plaza while you wait. Food is tasty - specifically the meat which I appreciate the grill difference compared to KBBQ. Milk tea, slushies, and desserts are offered as a part of self serve AYCE and the interior design is modern and a great dinner vibe. Their sushi is decent quality for an AYCE non-sushi focus. We couldn't order the samgyeopsal or shumai because it was sold out, but this is the first choice for AYCE meat in Cerritos for me. The premium is worth it. Kyla was our exceptional server, she was pleasant and efficient. She definitely deserves all the flowers. read more

Chubby Cattle Cerritos is located in a plaza near Cerritos Auto Square. Compared to the Rowland Heights location, it is a little bit smaller but the size doesn't lower the quality of amazing food that was served here. The customer service here was really good! Our sever Charlie took really good care of us. He explained to us the menu and what to expect from the Diamond Tier. He also cooked our limited wagyu meats for us to proper temperature! Grateful for him cooking for us. He was very personable with our table and had great conversations. The quality of food was great! Again, the size of this location didn't lower the food standard. The meats were all quality and they cooked nicely. The seafood items like the uni mentaiko found on the diamond tier menu was amazing! Overall from ambiance to quality service provided by Charlie to food quality, this is a 5 star review! Parking here is aplenty so you don't have to worry about it! :) read more

One of the best ayce's i've been to. I am new to this chain and really had no idea what I was getting into. Long waits! (luckily you can add your name to a list in advance) 3 tiers to choose from! We chose the lower tier and it had plenty of options we were happy with. If you want premium, then the higher tier options will suit your needs. The seating process was pretty smooth once our table was ready. It was clearly explained how it works and our time limit (which they are very strict on) as shown on the computer screen on the table. Each round, you can order up to 10 plates. There is also the self serve area. This one was unique in that it was broken into sections. They have the beverages in one area, veggies in another, around the corner was rice, mini burgers, corn, etc, then a small dessert section. Pretty impressive. Everything here was fast pace. The servers working quickly and food coming out fast. They really held us to our 90 mins. We were full by then and definitely done ordering, but also pretty much asked to leave as they had a lot of parties waiting. When paying our bill, they encourage you to sign up for their rewards program. It's not free, but if you plan to come back it probably is worth the fee. You can also accumulate points at their other locations. One person in our party joined and the credit pretty much offset the cost. Our server, Chaerin, did an excellent job! The only thing that bothers me now-a-days, is restaurants asking for reviews. Sometimes I just want to enjoy my meal and when the experience is great (or the opposite), then I'll share about it. Not affecting my rating as the experience was wonderful and I will return. read more

This place makes me happy , and Josh was our master griller and all-around best server. He helped us grill some meats, and answered all our questions when we were unsure about grill time, etc. All the meats we tried were incredibly delicious, like melt-in-your-mouth tasty ... And we tried about 20 different items. My favorite was Miso Wagyu Chuck Eye. We got the Gold Tier and was very satisfied. Even with the 90 minute limit, I think it was enough time since all the servers were really prompt with the items. Numerous repeat visit is a must. read more

Decided to do dinner here last night for the first time. Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. The quality of the meats was top tier. Every cut we tried was incredibly flavorful and cooked to perfection. You can really taste the difference, especially with the wagyu. With other Korean BBQ spots raising prices on premium meats, you honestly can't go wrong here. What truly elevated our visit was the service from Moses. He was A+ across the board. He took the time to walk us through the menu, explained all the options clearly, and made great recommendations. His attentiveness and energy made the entire experience that much better. They also have a wide selection beyond just meats, tons of sides and drinks ranging from refreshing slushies and lemonades to hot tea. And to top it all off, the fruit, sweet treats, and ice cream at the end were the perfect finish. If you plan on coming here often, their membership seems like a no-brainer. Between the quality, variety, and standout service, this place definitely earns 5 stars. read more

First time at Chubby Cattle and it was a very good experience. It is much more than just your regular Korean BBQ spot. Food was delicious, to the sushi, to the Wagyu, to the Wagyu burgers, everything tasted amazing. Big shout out to our waitress Kayla. She took great care of my group and I don't think I've ever had a waitress serve a table who is such an amazing speaker. She went out of her way to explain gluten allergies to make sure my friend with celiac was accommodated, it seemed like she really vibed well with my group with a lot of small talk that put a huge smile on all of our faces. She's amazing at her job. read more

Wow. What an experience. I have always heard of Chubby Cattle being a must visit spot and I am so glad that while visiting family that they wanted to go here for lunch on a Wednesday. I heard that there is usually a significant wait for a table but we were able to get a table right away. First off, I want to give kudos to Kevin for doing an amazing job taking care of us. We never had to really wait for much and some other waiters also brought us over items that were out when they replenished them. The service here is amazing. Secondly, the food is so good! Even for the lower tier AYCE option, there was more than enough variety for us to stuff ourselves and not get sick of anything. There was so much wagyu that we ate... All so good! The veggie bar, fruit bar, drink station, everything was so convenient and delicious. I would definitely be interested in coming here again. I'll just make sure to starve myself for a while before! read more

PREMIUM MEAT, PAUSE Always wanted to try the premium wagyu and was finally able to. We got the gold menu with a5 options and a few premium things. Don't really know what happened but we ate a lot a lot. FREDDY was our server and he supported us at every turn. Things are ordered through an iPad here and he had the patience to guide our group of retirees. All I can say was the meat was far superior than GEN. The sushi was surprisingly really good! The drink options were plenty. And they had a cool set up of buffet style fruits, veggies and desserts. All worth the money at least once in your life. Take a look at the photos. I believe it was like 68 or 78 a person for gold. Didn't have much of a wait since we ate on a Monday night, but I hear that most people put their names on the list. Then walk around the mall across the street until it's their turn. read more
