Keoni K.

Had an amazing experience at Chubby Cattle, and Kelvin made it even better! From the moment we sat down, he was friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He took the time to explain the different broth options and recommended some great dishes that ended up being our favorites. Throughout the meal, Kelvin checked on us regularly, made sure our table was always stocked, and kept everything running smoothly without ever being intrusive. His positive attitude and excellent customer service really stood out and made us feel welcome.

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.

Walking into Chubby Cattle for the first time, I'll admit--I was a little overwhelmed. I usually try new restaurants solo before deciding whether they're worth bringing friends or family, and the menu here is definitely one that can intimidate a newcomer. But the moment my server Chocolate greeted me, everything changed. Chocolate immediately noticed that "where do I even start?" look on my face and stepped in with the kind of warmth and confidence that instantly puts you at ease. She didn't just take my order--she guided me through the entire menu, highlighting the premium items, explaining what made them special, and even sharing her personal favorites. It never felt pushy or sales‑driven. It felt like someone genuinely excited to help me have the best experience possible. And let me tell you--I had been avoiding Chubby Cattle for a long time because of the price. I thought it would be one of those places where you pay a lot and leave hungry. I was completely wrong. The portions were generous, the quality was unreal, and nothing felt like an upsell. Even the premium items--like the A5 Wagyu and dishes topped with uni (one of my absolute favorites)--felt worth every penny. Everything that came to the table was fresh, beautifully presented, and truly premium. I came in around lunchtime, and by the end of the meal, I was so impressed that I signed up for the $28 membership on the spot. I already know I'll be back, and I'll be bringing people with me next time. Chocolate made my first visit not just good, but memorable. She was welcoming, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. Servers like her are the reason people return to restaurants--not just for the food, but for the experience. If you're thinking about trying Chubby Cattle but have been hesitant because of the price, take it from me: go. And if you can, ask for Chocolate. She turned what could've been an overwhelming first visit into one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time.

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.

First time in this place, and what I can say is "wow!" I will definitely come back here with my family. Best experience so far in a Japanese-KBBQ experience. We ordered over 56 items here and what I can say is that it was so delicious and I was still craving for some more. There was a 70 minute time limit for ordering food. Once it ends, you are unable to order any more food dishes. The staff and service here were very nice and professional and welcoming to their customers walking in. The ambience here was quite spacious inside, I thought it would be small, but it was like a medium-size space with plenty of seating for your family and friends. Thank you so much chubby cattle, Monterey Park for an awesome lunch experience. Will definitely come back.

Alex was fantastic and made our experience so much better. He was attentive, friendly, and always happy to help with anything.

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

We were in Los Angeles for a college graduation and decided to try Kagura in the area after hearing…read moregreat things about their tonkatsu. It absolutely lived up to the hype. The tonkatsu was some of the best we've ever had--perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Kagura is known for its specialty tonkatsu, and it shows in every bite. The portions were generous and came with all the sides needed for a complete meal. We left completely satisfied and felt the quality was well worth the price. The service was excellent from start to finish--friendly, attentive, and efficient without making us feel rushed. Finding a restaurant that excels in both food and service can be rare, but Kagura delivered on both. If you're a tonkatsu fan, this is a place you shouldn't miss. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Los Angeles!

My boyfriend came across Kagura in Monterey Park and wanted to check it out to try their curry…read morekatsu specialty. They are located in a small plaza off Atlantic with their own parking lot in front of the restaurant. The restaurant is small, about 10 tables of 2-4, so there may be a wait during peak meal hours. We wrote our name on their waitlist, but we were seated soon after. The seats aren't too comfortable since space is tight. Their menu had a lot of customizations with katsu and curry. There were many protein choices. My boyfriend ordered their Menchi Katsu Curry ($20.25) and I ordered the Pork Loin Katsu Curry ($21.45).Both were marked as items Chef Recommends. While we were waiting for our food to come out, I noticed their chopsticks lists their other locations and most seem to be in areas with high Japanese footprint: Torrance, El Segundo, Gardena, Costa Mesa, and Los Angeles. The food was ready within a reasonable amount of time. In previous photos I saw and appreciated the grill they put the katsu on to maintain crispiness on the bottom, but they are no longer using that. The meal also came with a side salad, miso soup, and a few small sides. This is pretty typical of similar businesses. The dressing on this side salad was really bad though. As much as I wanted to eat the vegetables to be healthy, I didn't like it at all. Not taking points away cause it's an included item, but just including my observation. The rice was okay... a bit dry for my liking. The katsu itself was really crispy and crunchy for both of us. I can see how its' their specialty. For my porkloin I liked one side of it more than the other. The curry was okay, but I don't find it cravable... not like the curries that are so good I'll take it home to eat with more white rice. I barely dipped my katsu into the curry. If my boyfriend wants to come back, I might just order the katsu without the curry. A nice addition for this area, but I'm spoiled with having tried better curry katsu spots so I'm a little picky.
