Lovely Chubby Cattle location but it is definitely not as fun as the Rowland Heights one. The Rowland one has a buffet bar for appetizers, drinks, and desserts and they offer more than what's offered here. Nonetheless, I still had a good experience at this Chubby Cattle location. Meats all tasted fresh and yummy. Service was very fast and they were very good about changing out grill multiple times. Meat quality is good but since its mostly wagyu, they are very fatty. read more

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. read more

Chubby Cattle - Monterey Park - Barbeque Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Was here yesterday and I was disappointed. I typically come to only this location because I know the quality of the meats is usually really good. Yesterday was a different story aside of having to wait two hours to be seated, they allow people to make reservations online and just walk in while some of us have been waiting a long time. We started by being 25th in place and waited for an hour in our car , then we came inside because I had to use the restroom and waited in the seating area The host asked for my name to "check me in" , I didn't know why if I was already on the waitlist and somehow I jumped a few spots ahead ? That made no sense As for the food, it's not what it use to be. We always get the diamond package because of the limited items. They were out of ribeye which sucked because that's what wanted. And the meats weren't as buttery as before. Definitely had more of a chew this time with the limited meats. I'm not sure if you guys changed where you get your meat from but the quality of it, isn't what it use to be. My husband ordered the lobster roll and we never received it, a few rounds pass and I had to ask the waitress what happened to it. Shortly after she brought a plate of what I assume were onion rings? That I never ordered? The wagyu nigiri didn't come wrapped this time like it was before in a circle , it was just rolled up like a taco and it was very bloody. I had to toss it on the grill. On top of that we didn't get the diamond box presentation with the dry ice like before. Not sure what's going on but I don't think it was worth the 90$ per person anymore. read more

Food: 4 Service: 5 Ambience: 4 Meats were good, sides were very mediocre. Kim chi was overly soggy and not crunchy. Cucumbers were soggy as well. If the sides were better , I would come back. Music was WAY too loud. But try them and see what you think. Bon appetit read more

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. read more

Stopped by Chubby Cattle and had a great experience. The service was good from the moment we walked in. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal without being overbearing. Food came out quickly, and the overall atmosphere was enjoyable. Kelvin did a great job, I'd definitely come back again for both the food and the excellent service. read more

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. read more

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. read more

This place is way out of our way but we've been making the trip whenever we are in the bbq mood since they never disappoint, we know what we are getting every single time. The place is just like any other bbq place, but one thing to highlight is their air vents, which such the smoke so well (other places you come out of and you smell like bbq for 3 days :) not here). Their service is great, they have a pad to order, but servers also come around every so often to make sure everything great! read more

I don't think it's worth spending $300 here. I decided to try it because it went viral on Instagram, but the time limit felt too restrictive, and the food became too rich after a couple of bites. It's worth trying once for the experience, but I probably wouldn't go back. read more

We love this place so much. The food so delicious and server Erica so nice. We will come back soon.

This location has older facilities compared to the Rowland heights location. This means that this branch has lots of smoke in the restaurant, which means you'll smell like BBQ when you leave. This isn't a problem at the Rowland branch. Overall, the food is good quality. Pretty standardized throughout all chubby cattles. Service was great in the sense that our server was very attentive and kind. However, since they're busy, sometimes they're slow getting stuff out. It took a while for them to get us the drinks we ordered. In general, go to the Rowland Heights branch if you want a more special experience. But if you just want BBQ that's higher quality than those run of the mill chains, this is a good alternative. read more

Food and service and ambiance are great. My server Bamboo did a great job. Make sure we got enough food. We love this bbq place!

Another one from the Chubby restaurant group. We made online reservations a week prior for our party of 8. As expected, Friday nights are busy. Street parking but more parking in the back. This was our first time at Chubby Cattle and our server was so kind to explain the process. We splurged on the Diamond tier ($85/pp) since this option included special meats and dishes x 2. 110 minutes to dine for parties over 6 ppl. You can order from the ipad every 3 minutes. We tried everything from the menu including the ones with caviar. But the star of the show are the limited Wagyu meats served in this wooden chest with dry ice. The quality of the meats is top tier. Birthday celebrations here are also lit. Lol. We enjoyed our dining experience and would definitely come back. read more

Chubby Cattle - Monterey Park - Cleared it all - Barbeque Near Me - Monterey Park, California

I came here with my mom one day to treat her out for a birthday dinner. I was disappointed with my experience here given all the hype surrounding this place. It was very cramped inside and because of that, it was also loud because the restaurant was packed when we got there around 5:30 PM on a weekend. We both got gold tier so we could have a nice selection to choose from. At the price point of well over $100 after tax and tip, it wasn't worth it. The meat quality was lacking (only 1 or 2 cuts were decent but still) and service was quite slow, plus they forgot some of our dishes a couple times and we had to ask the servers multiple times to bring in dishes we had ordered already. I have tried Chubby Cattle Rosemead and Rowland Heights and MPK just doesn't cut it compared to the other two. read more

The meats are very fresh and juicy. All the servers are super welcome and helpful. Seatings are spacing, aren't too loud. Good for group, family and couple. read more

I've been wanting to go to Chubby Cattle for a while and now I finally had the opportunity to go. Plus, for $55 per person it's a decent price for the quality of food that you get. We came in around 12:30pm on a Saturday afternoon and we were seated right away. Our meal comes with the first drink free so I got the sweet tea. I don't remember everything that we ordered, but I do remember ordering the Full Blood Wagyu Ribeye Steak, Full Blood Thick Cut Wagyu Short Rib, Wagyu Brisket, Prime Angus Finger Meat, Thin Sliced Beef Tongue, and Pork Belly. From the other dishes we also ordered the Salmon Carpaccio, Creamy Spicy Tom Yum Soup, Truffle Fries, Fried Tofu, Steamed Eggs, and King Oyster Mushrooms. We also got sides of Radish Paper and Wasabi to pair with the meats. There was so much food but luckily each plate came with only a little bit of meat so we were able to try a lot of variety. Every single thing we got was great, and the wasabi added a nice kick to it. The only one I would probably skip next time would be the truffle fries and the tom yum soup. The truffle fries were just extra carbs and more of a gimmick because of the truffle oil, and the tom yum soup was way too spicy for me and overpowered the other flavored in the soup. Service was great. They brought everything out pretty quickly and they constantly checked up on us. In the end they also offered Melona popsicles for dessert. Overall it was a great experience and I will definitely be back again. It is pricier than other kbbq spots but you definitely get what you pay for. read more
