    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!!!!!

    Starting Price .... HMMMmmmmm!!

    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.

    It's always good whenever I come. Charlie was a great server. Offered to cook while me and my boy were chatting it up. Food is awesome. Never a miss!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Chubby Cattle Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Chubby Cattle

    How much is for 4 people?

    $300 to $500

    Are 1-year olds free?

    It goes by height, 100cm and under is free, 101-130cm is 50%, 131cm+ is full price.

    Solo dining allow?

    Absolutely!

    Is Chubby Tea Cerritos open yet?

    Yes.

    Can you make a reservation?

    They currently do not take reservations unless you own the Chubby Club NFT (24 hours advanced notice).

    Do you have to cook your own food?

    If you select a menu tier with specialty meat options, your server will cook those for you (usually 1-2 pieces per person), but otherwise, yes, you cook you own meat.

    Price? Of meat

    The three tiers are approximately $55/$65/$75 without the member discount.

    Do you have an option for introverted people who would rather grill their own meats?

    You grill your own meats for the most part. The only meats the server grills for you are the 1-2 pieces of premium meat that you might get depending on what menu tier you choose.

    Do they open their yelp waitlist? Coming with my family and I have a baby and we want to join ahead of time

    You have to join the waitlist in person, or you can place reservations (24+ hours in advance) if you own a Chubby Club NFT.

    What time do they REALLY open on Saturdays?

    5 pm. Suggest to arrive between 4-4:30 pm to get in early cause the line is out the door...

    Can we make a reservation?

    They do not take reservations. You will have to show up on the spot and wait list yourself.

    Are there a la carte options? Or do I have to get one of the tiered options even though I'm not into beef? (The rest of my family is)

    I'm not completely sure if there are, but if you're not into beef there's plenty of sushi options and chicken.

    How much for a person?

    There are 3 tiers Silver $55 Gold $75 Diamond $85

    Is there reservations?

    When you walk to the entrance you have to sign in and its usually a very long wait but i think its worth it. I dont think you can do reservations at the cerritos location.

    Is this location open?

    Yes.

    When will this location be open? Please hurry. I'm starving...

    It's open now

    Is there an estimated completion date?

    I've been avoiding coming to this place since last year when I've read a lot of bad Yelp reviews…read moreabout it - but thought we should give it chance on a less-busy middle-of-the-weekday and arrived about 5pm. It wasn't busy at all - which I was thankful, because in general, if a restaurant is busy, that usually means we don't get good service - SO I was very happy the server came and seated us right away. Our order was taken promptly and was stoked that they had an open bar for sides (buffet-style) to serve myself immediately for the salads, kimchi, sesame oil, seasoning, rice-paper (wolnamssam-yong), radish wrap (Ssam-mu), etc. - because in my experience with other KBBQ restaurants, the servers NEVER come fast enough to refill those sides for you, so I'm super relieved about this place for allowing us full control of that - without my feeling like I have to keep waving down a server. I was also excited to see additional sides offered as part of this very reasonably-priced All-You-Can-Eat! I had Miso-soup, even got Korean Seaweed Roll, Fried-Rice, fruits - Pineapple chunks, Orange slices, Jello (my fave)! They also had Mac-salad, Potato salad, also offered cooked fried chicken, baby clams, crawfish, fried wontons, edamame, eomuk (Korean fish cakes), Japchae (Korean Glass Noodle), etc. Plenty of sides also offered self-serve that you can cook on the grill, like onions, broccoli, mushrooms, etc. I was impressed with their choices at this price point! SO, my recommendation is - give this place a chance - sometimes restaurants do have bad days (as do servers and employees) which can get them a bad Yelp review). Today I appreciated that the servers were helpful and attentive. I LOVED the food: We ordered the Beef Brisket, Marinated Beef Bulgogi, Beef Belly, Pork Belly, Marinated Pork Belly - and yes, ALL included at the same price point (we went for the cheapest menu option) at $24.99 per person - so much value for that low price! Now I'm afraid to post this review because want this place for myself to be my own secret (LOL) - I loved the fact it wasn't crowded for such a huge venue - and we got served right away +++++!

    Came here last night because my daughter was craving some Korean BBQ. We've been eating a lot of…read morebbq this week, but I stepped up and joined my daughter for Mr. Lees. We are fortunate that the times we've come here it hasn't been crowded and then our server was excellent. I love coming to Mr. Lee's because of the self serve ban Chan. It's nice not to have to wait for someone to bring refills of my salad or other ban Chan. I just hope our streak continues.

We also split a pitcher of Blue Moon since they didn't have any pitchers of Korean beer which was rather disappointing. Apparently you can only order K beer by the bottle. We went with the Signature Combo option which worked out well with more than enough BBQ to satisfy the 4 of us. The servers come to your table to not only bring you your food but also to cut the meat into individual portions and cook it for you. They did a wonderful job of switching out the grills so you never have to worry about getting the blackened residue on your meat. The kim chee was very fresh and well seasoned. The green salad was also excellent. The quality of the meat was extremely good for the price they charge. The restaurant also has a no tip policy but they do add a 10% service charge for cooking at the table which is quite reasonable. My first visit was very impressive and I look forward to returning again in the near future when I feel the need to partake of another KBBQ meal.
