    Chubby Cattle does not disappoint! All the meat was very tender and well-seasoned, and the food came out surprisingly quickly. I also loved that you can place another order every 6 minutes, which makes the dining experience feel seamless. The service was great, and our waitress, Katy, was very attentive and patient with our group. Although this location is smaller than the Rowland Heights location, it has a nice, cozy, and intimate atmosphere. Overall, a great experience, and I would definitely come back!

    This is a great place to come with friends and family. If you love food menus do start as low as $50 per person if you're not a member and the best part is that they've got Wagyu available. The interior does lack ventilation but overall it's really pretty. It's usually packed, but if you happen to come during the week after 8 PM, you're easily able to get in. The service has been great our server Katie has been attentive. Overall, this is a great place to come and enjoy high-quality meat, great service, and great vibes Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5

    Really great place for a dinner. The food was top notch with premium cuts of beef. The interior was classy and the atmosphere was really chill. Emma was incredibly helpful and quick with our service. Will definitely come again.

    We had a great experience at Chubby Cattle in Monterey Park! Emma took excellent care of us. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Her great service made the experience even more enjoyable. Thank you, Emma! We'll definitely be back.

    This location was my first Chubby Cattle experience and it was amazing. My mom had just started a membership so we got so many extra goodies like caviar, nigiri, and etc. The restaurant is really small so prepare to wait when it's busy.

    We had a great experience at Chubby Cattle, and a huge part of that was our waitress, Emma! She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the entire meal. She checked in on us at the right times, answered all of our questions, and made us feel genuinely taken care of without ever making us feel rushed. The food was great, but Emma's service really made the experience stand out. Excellent customer service and exactly the kind of person you want taking care of your table. We'll definitely be back. Thank you, Emma!

    Food: 5/5 Delicious! The meat quality is top tier! Everything was so fresh, so many options including sushi, sides, veggies and of course the endless waygu meat option. Lamb was tasty, the seafood was wonderful! The salt was so so good! Finish things off with some really tasty ube ice cream. Service: 5/5 Staff are so quick and responsive. Everything is great! Extremely quick service too! Food was quick to come out, so very minimal wait time between meat orders. Ambiance: 4/5: The decor is great, the only minor setback is the tight location. But there's decent amount of parking. Really enjoyed the openess of this location. Great tables, great seating.

    Chubby Cattle Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Chubby Cattle

    Exactly what cut of beef is the "knuckle"?

    Basically is from the back leg

    Is the health score still a C as of October 2025?

    As of this month at least, it is A grade

    What's the toddler/kids' discount?

    I believe there's a discount based on height, there's a measurement on the wall near the entrance. I'm not 100% sure, I think it was around $30, I'm sorry I didn't pay close attention because I don't have any kids that little.

    Is there bor acholohic beverages?

    Not sure what up mean by "bor" if you're referring to the "bor" hop then I'm not sure if they carry IPA that use "bor" hops. I've always order a pitcher of Sapporo draft beer.

    Do customers self order on a tablet or does a server take down the order?

    You self order on the tablet, but you can still order drinks with your server. Just a warning that you can only place orders on the tablet every 6 minutes!

    Do u have unlimted drinks?

    If you get the highest tier; free Sapporo

    I signed up on APP (which is free), and it says my membership is valid until end of year. does this free membership qualify for the discount and birthday free meal?…

    its separate from the local membership, for now you have to pay for this separately in restaurant and its good for a year.

    Does this place have an ipad to order on the table? Or we have to call everytime?

    iPad is at the table

    Does everyone in my group need to sign up for member to get member price? or just me sign up is enough?

    Each person who signs up for a membership can add another person to it. So if you have a party of 8, you need at least 4 people to sign up to get the same discount. Plus, they give you a free meal when it's your birthday and you have within 3 days… 

    Any birthday special?

    If you're a member, yes. I would ask the host for more information.

    I want to reserve a table for 9 on Saturday, our friend is celebrating her bday on that day?

    You can make reservations online. If it's 9 people they may split you. They don't have a table big enough for 9.

    Do I need to make reservations for tomorrow around 4:00-5:00pm? Can I bring a bottle of wine?

    Since we don't sell wine, you can bring your own. However, we will charge a $28 corkage fee. If you visit between 4-5 PM on weekdays, there won't be a line

    Is there kids pricing?

    Kids under 110cm are free; kids 110cm to 120cm are 50% off

    Is there a different lunch and dinner price?

    No I don't think so. I believe it's the same.

    What is the difference between the Gold and Diamond menus?

    Check the menu photo in my review or the chubby cattle website -- you can see the menu side by side on the different items each tier includes.

    How does your yearly membership work?

    They give you a $10 discount off the price and it renews yearly

    When will their health score be reevaluated since the latest score is a C and the violations are alarming?

    Wow thats horrible. Since when?

    Do you offer different price for vegetarians?

    They do not offer different pricing for dietary restrictions.

    Are they open weekdays like Thursday ? Website business hours are confusing.

    Yes

Their baby back, spare ribs, and brisket are fantastic with sauces on the side if you wanted to more BBQ sauce to your BBQ meat! Though in my opinion, I don't need it usually, as the meats are already so flavorful as is! I'd say its great for groups, though a bit pricy, but boy is this good, hearty, fall of the bone, BBQ! The servers have always been great and kind and even when we were celebrating a birthday last visit, they brought out a icecream Sundae with a candle! Very sweet! I talked to a man at the South Pasadena museum and told us that Gus's is the oldest BBQ establishment in California, serving hungry patrons since 1946. They haven't been in business in over 70 years for nothing! Thought it's been a long time, the place is still well maintained and updated so it still is nice and clean, but still keeping its historic core. Come by this meaty institution for their renowned classic American barbaque, with great libations, great food and amazing service with tasty history!

What's even crazier is that I've been a diehard bone-in/traditional wings believer, but bb.q Chicken's boneless wings converted me to the dark side. In fact, I will shamelessly admit that I only ever order their boneless wings here after having tried them. Unlike other places' boneless wings, which use dry white meat (an absolute abomination IMHO), bb.q Chicken uses actual dark meat and are actual "boneless wings." The Cheesling flavor is to die for. Get the limited time Buldak Cheesling flavor for a special spicy kick. If you want an alcoholic drink with your chicken, I suggest sticking with beer or bottled soju. Their soju cocktails are pretty weak and have a strange pre-mixed flavor to them.

So to have your employee give me a whole speech at 8:45 about when you close the kitchen and how long I have to eat, is unacceptable, lack of customer service. And then denying service to 4 people at 9:08pm, also doesn't make for good ambiance or service. I paid $60 for 2 people to share a rice bowl and small batch of wings; what would those 4 people have ordered $$$? *change your hours if your trying to close early 2nd the wings have really reduced in quality and flavor, did you degrade or change in quality of chicken; or is that your not following the same recipe? And lastly, and this change I can sympathize with, but I very much enjoyed the yellow danmuji radishes in the bulgogi bowl, so eff those people who asked you to take them out; causing you to decide to no longer include them

It also seems this is one of the few places in socal with a license to cook with charcoal indoors, which is a bit of a bummer. Place was not too busy when we went but the center it's in is a bit small and can be tough to park. The service is pretty typical for a Chinese place. I found them more attentive than average honestly and they were always available when we flagged them down which I can't say for a lot of places, so service was overall good in my opinion. Place is AYCE, two person minimum, 2 hour time limit but are generous. You can get water or hot/cold wheat tea which was good, similar to barley tea. They can change out your grill at any time and add charcoal if the fire starts to die down, which you'll want since you want to be cooking meat quick over a high heat to make the most of your time here and get the best cook on your meat. To me the standouts were the beef tongue, boneless beef shortrib, and this cold cut you don't cook that I forget the name of. The beef tongue particularly really had everything going for it. Great balance of flavor between fat and muscle, a little chew but not too much like some bad tongue has. Super thin so fast to cook and easy to eat. Everything else was good but nothing KBBQ doesn't have a better version of (looking at you marinated beef). The charcoal flavor is gonna be a unique element so take that as you will. I'm told in China every place like this has its own 'signature sauce' and I guess the one here is the sesame sauce that is quite sweet, creamy, and perfectly thin for dipping. I followed the pro here and added green onions, cilantro, vinegar, and soy sauce to taste and it helped balance out the flavors for me but I still found myself preferring to eat the meat on its own most of the time which was a bummer as dipping between sauces is a nice way to change things up as you eat the same cuts of meat for 2 hours. The shortrib is incredibly juicy and delicious. I found the steak cuts my least favorite as they were a bit tough and lacking flavor. If you pay in cash you'll get a 16oz cup of their INCREDIBLE yogurt so I highly recommend, but you also get small cups of this at the end of your meal. It has a high fresh acidity like freshly squeezed lime juice balanced with sweetness that really makes this yogurt bangarang and super addicting. So much so I bought two things to go and wish I got more! Owner was a total sweetheart too. Def a great place to hit especially for the charcoal element and world-class yogurt but otherwise my favorite KBBQ spots are still gonna be my go-to for everything else.

I was so excited to open the bag and see all the goodies I got when I got home only to be extremely disappointed. The meat was so dry and salty. The bulgogi literally tasted like ground beef and was probably the worst bulgogi I've ever had. The food was slightly warm and not appetizing at all. The japchae was so bland and came with no ingredients. The most enjoyable item was probably the honey green tea sadly. It was slightly too sweet but at least it was refreshing. The boba was a bit mushy but not a big deal. Overall, I would definitely not recommend or get a Too Good to Go item from them again unfortunately!
