Food 4.5/5. Service 5/5 stars thanks to our server Ranier. He was welcoming knowledgeable and attentive and kind not only towards us but to his other tables as well. We chose the silver tier, we weren't super hungry. Diamond is good if you want a lot of food and the premium items. Perfect portions for me and hubs, limited just a few at a time. So food stays fresh. I liked the Wagyu meats with marbling for a nice blend of protein and fats. Hand rolls were generously packed with yellowtail and salmon. I got so full. Lots of drinks options too, sodas, fruit juices, iced milk tea, hot tea. Got the hot tea twice, it's just lukewarm. For an extra fee you can get other drinks like ones with boba or alcohol. For desserts I got egg tarts you can grab them from the warmer. Plenty of quality fruit options which were really fresh sweet and juicy. Couple things felt off for me like the seating process and seat I was in. First on the waitlist, I checked in and was told it would be a longer wait and to keep checking the yelp app. As we walked back to our car, we immediately got a text that our table was ready. That part seemed a bit disorganized and could have been handled more smoothly. I hope the ripped up seat in our booth gets fixed cuz the tape job was rough and uncomfortable Aside from minor mishaps I still would recommend the food and service here.

When Chubby Cattle Cerritos opened last year, they didn't initially have a waitlist and the wait was always hours long so it kind of fell off our radar for a while. They now have a Yelp waitlist, so some friends and I decided to finally try it out. Even after getting on the waitlist on the way to the restaurant, there was still about a 20 minute wait once we arrived. There are three tiers on the menu, silver ($58 regular, $50 member), gold ($78 regular, $65 member), and diamond ($88 regular, $75 member). The gold tier lets you choose two single servings from the special items menu. The diamond tier adds one extra special item and lets you order four single servings. We decided to go with the gold tier. One friend is a Chubby Club member, so two of us received the $13 discount. All ordering is done on a touch screen at the table, and then a server brings your selections to the table. Special items on the menu are cooked by your server, and you cook all other items yourself. After figuring out the ordering system and putting in our initial order, we headed to the self-serve area. The aisle next to our table was a little narrow. Many of the items in the self-serve area were empty or near empty, and honestly, nothing stood out as something I had to have. The drink station has soft drinks, two slushie flavors, two milk teas, and three different lemonades. Boba drinks and lattes are available for ordering on the touch screen at your table for an additional cost. I just had water. Some desserts are also available in the self-serve area. Things started out pretty well as our orders were initially coming out pretty quick. Many of the special items had a nice presentation in gold trays, and your server cooks those for you to perfection. The grill never got smoky which was nice. Some of the items we had included A5 Miyazaki Waygu short rib, A5 Miyazaki ribeye, A5 Wagyu Otoro thick cut, A5 brisket, A5 lean meat, Wagyu uni caviar nigiri, lobster roll, beef tongue, prime angus skirt steak, Margra lamb, black pepper Wagyu cubes, salmon & yellowtail carpaccio, shrimp tempura, and fried calamari. There is a 90 minute dining limit, and unfortunately we didn't receive any of our orders for the last 30 minutes. Our server checked with the kitchen a few times, but no further food was ever brought out. The special and regular menu items we had were all very good. However, the self serve station didn't impress, and no food for the last 30 minutes was a total buzz kill. At this price point, I expected a better experience. Chubby has great ratings, so I'm assuming we just came on an off night. Despite a disappointing first experience, I would try them again, or maybe visit another location.

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!

Chubby cattle of Cerritos is a good time always! Staff there is super nice and always attentive. We had Jordan as our waiter and he came around a bunch of times through out the night to check up on us, take plates away, and bring napkins. It's Ayce Japanese bbq so we order from the screen and minutes later it comes. Everything was fresh and delicious and no issues with missing ordered items. It was my bday so as a member we got a silver meal on the house but I paid the difference for gold. Gold is the best variety in my opinion. Will be back again for sure!

Decided to celebrate my birthday here and it was a great choice! Our server, Ryant was very helpful, attentive and friendly. He definitely made this visit a great one! We had the Gold tier and the food choices were delicious! Even the sashimi and carpaccio were good! Definitely got our money's worth.

Does it NOT say AYCE?  Well, be prepared.  Everything (good) on the menu is NOT AYCE!!!
Julie N.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Shortly after administering epi pen
Maria B.

When we arrived at the restaurant, we explicitly informed the staff that my daughter has a severe peanut and tree nut allergy. They pointed out the safe items on the menu, and I only ordered from that approved list. Shortly after eating, my daughter complained that her lip was itching, and she quickly began having a severe allergic reaction, including shortness of breath. Because she has asthma, this respiratory distress became a life-threatening emergency, and I had to rush her to the car to administer her EpiPen. When I returned inside to inform the staff, I asked them to double-check our order. While they initially insisted that nothing we ordered contained nuts, they eventually discovered that the menu had recently been updated and one of the meats we were served was topped with a peanut sauce. We are from Arizona and were in town specifically for my daughter's track meet the following day; this was supposed to be her pre-competition dinner. Instead, she suffered a major allergic reaction involving respiratory distress, lip swelling, and a bloody nose. When I asked management how they intended to rectify this severe safety failure, they offered only to remove her specific item from the bill. I previously visited a different location of this chain in April and had a wonderful experience, which is why I trusted them with my family. I am deeply disappointed not only by the severe cross-contamination and inaccurate ingredient information, but by the management's complete lack of accountability regarding a life-threatening medical emergency. If you or your family members have food allergies, I highly advise against eating here. I will never return.

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!!

Ben made the difference for my sisters 49th birthday lunch. For those that might recall the scene in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, it was just like the part at the ice cream restaurant. Ben was attentive, pleasant, genuine, and you can tell, he enjoys his job. Ben went above and beyond and I'm sure my sister will remember this birthday lunch. Thank you, Ben!

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.

Chubby Cattle Reviews in Other Languages

Ask the Community - Chubby Cattle

How long is wait?

The best way to find out the wait time is to join the live waitlist. The waitlist gives you estimate time and if you join it will tell you your spot on the waitlist.… 

Are there any peanuts or sauces containing peanut/peanut products in any of the food?

There are some sauces that have peanuts which if you let your server know about the nut allergy, they will point out what to avoid and they can omit sauces from any of the meats. They are very accommodating to nut allergies as well as other food… 

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'd never been there before, so this review is all about first impressions. As we approached, the sign caught my attention: "Under New Ownership." Outside, an employee sat scrolling on his phone. It was a quiet Sunday around 3 PM, and we were the only patrons in sight. Checking Yelp beforehand had been a bit of a letdown, as their menu featured items they no longer offer. No links were available either. We ordered half a pound of pulled pork, half a pound of brisket, and four pieces of cornbread--all priced reasonably. Their tap selection turned out to be decent. The Cali Squeeze Blood Orange was a standout, and they also seemed to carry Firestone Walker products, including 805. The staff were friendly and responsive, which was refreshing. While the brisket had cooled by the time we got home, it was still tender and flavorful--just like the pulled pork. The real surprise? The chimichurri that accompanied the brisket--an unexpected and delightful touch. Overall, I'd rate the experience as average. While it's clear they've got potential, a bit more effort could turn Wholly Smokes into a go-to spot. Leaning in on those small details would really elevate the experience.

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 +++++!

Food: 3/5 Service: 2/5…read moreAmbiance: 3/5 Parking: 3/5 Family friendly: 3/5 Stroller friendly: 4/5 ADA accessible: 4/5 What could improve? Let's start with the good-ish part. Parking was decent on a Wednesday night around 7pm without any lines and we were seated quickly. That's when things weren't as copacetic. Initially we were sat on one burner for 6 people and was exceptionally tight. We asked to split our party to get another burner and was grated with attitude from the make server with a tattoo on his right arm. We asked multiple times to restart our burner because the pilot light kept turning off. According to the waiter, we didn't have enough venting on our grill because of the meat. Second and third time the pilot turned itself off we have to track down a different waiter to restart the light. Service is poor, especially from make server with Polynesian tribal tattoo on right arm. If you don't want to be at work, don't come to work. Next, the buffet line. Great concept: get your own sides. Nothing is labeled, albeit kimchi, fried rice were obvious, but others less so. When we finished the bill came with 18% gratuity included. With this 18% gratuity, I had to track down the waiters/ waitress 3 times to restart our burner, get the you're not worth my time attitude for it. I wanted to like Mr. Lees but with the decent food and subpar service is hard for me to do. I think the saving grace here was my God son pick this place for his graduation dinner. Check it out if you're curious, but for me I'll pass the next time Mr. Lee's pops up in my radar.
