    Was walking to the place and saw their awesome mascot outside. Saw it waddle inside. It was really cute. Great idea to have one. Took a while for us to get seated but otherwise the full experience and food options was super! We loved our server, he was so informative and kind. There are a lot of fair food options and are shareable. The lobster roll was amazingggg probably my favorite. We were all eyeing that one. I really appreciate how there are different options of meat, seafood, hand rolls, nigiri, fries, mochi, shrimp tempura, alll the meats so many options, etc. upstairs there are desserts like ice cream, sodas, egg tarts! Some other tarts, seaweed salad, pickled radishes, etc. we would loveeeee to come back

    The food and the experience was amazing! Cody gave us some good recommendations and very helpful on how to cook the meat to the perfect temperature! Definitely coming back with a larger group next time

    Been to the West coast locations a few times, I got excited when I found out another location was finally opening up on the East coast!! Came here the first time on a Saturday night and was a 10/10 experience! From service to the food, nothing to complain about. The hostess and our server Cody H. were great and made the experience great from the start. My best friend are foodies, we love how there is a self serve station for drinks, sides, sweets, sauces, and even rice!! Meat is really top quality, melt in your mouth and flavorful. And love the premium tier, it's worth it! 100% recommend this place to anyone. Place is aesthetic and clean as well! As much as I don't like driving to the city, this is worth the trip..I even ended up signing up for the membership...meaning I'll be coming to the city more often especially just for Chubby Cattle! The only complaint is that we were seated at the end of the restaurant right under a vent that was dripping on the table, that we didn't notice until near the end when it landed directly on the grill.

    Winston our server was awesome, he explained everything well. We will definitely come back cause everything was worth it!

    Great food, great decor, and amazing service from Sherry!! AYCE wagyu, with a lot of different appetizers and sushi to choose from. Will recommend this and will try all the other restaurants from their brand. Only tiny suggestion is if you're a table of 4, the 10 plates maximum goes fast.

    Amazing experience as usual! Cody was exceptional and so attentive. Literally went so above and beyond. Great music and great vibes! Phenomenal food and quality meats. Will be back again (we've been here 4 times already haha)

    It's the best in nyc hands down. If you haven't had this food yet....i don't know what your doing with your life. Not only Food but also the staffs are good vibe but obviously you have to bring your good vibe any ways there's one staff name "Mo" he is the best!! He helped me to get the playlist from the manager's phone coz I asked him if he can share lol anyways thank you for making my Sunday happy

    Came here today for Vday. It was packed but we reserved a table 1 week ahead. This spot is very spacious and you get your own table of 4. They have nice music and not as loud as other bbq spots. The food here is amazing. This is my 3rd time here and the quality is as good as when they opened. My server Angie was very attentive and helpful. Shout out to the amazing service. I will be back again.

    Chubby Cattle is a high end AYCE Japanese barbeque restaurant with quality cuts of beef. We were helped by Stephanie and manager Jayden- both have been very helpful and friendly. The cuts were beautifully marbleized with a melt in your mouth texture. Sushi, rice dishes, and soup are also included in the AYCE menu - nothing gets boring for the 90 mins you are alloted to order. Everything is so good!! Stop talking and keep ordering! They have a self service station for drinks, small appetizers, and dipping sauce. Drinks beside soda included milk tea and matcha. The coolest thing was the automatic rice dispenser. We loved their curry and beef stew station- top it with their half boiled egg and it's perfection. There was a cheese custard station as well that had a durian flavor! There are different tiered options - we went for gold and signed for the Chubby club plus membership. We want to try Mikiya and their other affiliated restaurants in the future with discounted pricing and birthday perks.

    Came here for dinner with friends and we had such a good time! This AYCE Japanese BBQ spot offers not only a variety of wagyu meats but also sushi, appetizers, and even desserts and milk tea! Service here is pretty quick and very attentive. The interior is thoughtfully decorated and really reminds me of BBQ and drinking spots in Asia. We ordered a variety of meats and everything was delicious. I was pleasantly also surprised by how good their sushi and handrolls were--I could've eaten a dozen more if I had the stomach space. Their milk tea options were also delicious and I really enjoyed them. Would definitely come back here!

    Really great dinner experience. This place is really busy. A lot of big parties so the wait is kinda long. Staffs were really friendly and attentive. We opt for the silver course which still offers a great selection one meats and appetizers. Ordering was very easy via the tablet at the table. You can order up to 10 things at once every 7 mins. They allow 1 hour of ordering but an hour and a half total meal time. We ordered to the very last minute. There are condiments, cold appetizers, drinks and dessert that are self serve. Food came relatively quickly after ordering. Most of the meats were pretty good with exception to some that are on the tougher and thicker side. Our favorite is still the brisket. Appetizers were pretty good. Some worth noting is the shrimp tempura and the hand rolls. Dessert was ok. They had cake, mochi, and egg tart. The mochi was very hard. Probably dried out in the fridge because it was uncovered. But the filling inside wasn't too bad.

    Went there with couples of friends tonight, had a great time dining at Chubby Cattle. We didn't have to wait long despite having no reservations. The food was fantastic and enjoyable. Christine Ma was our server, she's very attentive and made us feel so welcomed. Definitely gonna be back again soon!

    Great service and good quality of food. We did the gold tier and it has decent quality of food to choose from. I would say for someone that can't eat as much you can stick with the silver tier. The gold tier additional items were not really worth it. The Hokkaido uni and lobster roll was very disappointing. Some of the American Wagyu cuts were too chewy and disappointing. They have a small hotpot option that I thought was nice to diversify between hotpot and bbq. The drink station with unlimited milk tea is good. I would say that they hold you to the 90 minutes limit and give you a bill at 90 minutes before you even finish your food. Towards the end we were getting our meats delayed and couldn't order another round. They definitely slow down in their service after the first two rounds.

    I want to make reservations for 2 but at the yelp reservation they start with minimum of 3. Is there a setting issue?

    Probably has minimum number of peoples for reservations. If you're two people probably just have to do walk in.

    Is there any discounts for bday?

    If you become a member, then yes.

    How much were the tiers?

    silver-$55 gold-$75 diamond $85. $10 cheaper for each tier if your a member

    Is solo dining possible? Table for 1 OK?

    yep table for one is possible, just go in and tell the hostess and she will put your name down and call you when your table is ready. Should not be a long wait during most dining hours

    There's a reason why people have willpower for the hours-long wait here on weekends. There are many…read morerestaurants with lines that I can't say are worth waiting on, but this restaurant is worth every minute and every ounce of energy left for the wait. I've taken a lot of friends here over the course of 10 years, and without fail, every one of them has walked out mindblown--and why wouldn't they?! The wait times have gotten better over the years (probably because people are waiting for the restaurant next door), but the food and drinks here are still top-notch. Staff is always great, and they all work so efficiently. I am generally a fan of izakayas, but there are very few that offer plates that are designed to be shareable, and this is one of the reasons the food here is so enjoyable in a small group setting. I am obviously biased and think they can do no wrong, but some of my staples that have stood the test of time: Kimchi cream udon, avocado tofu salad, salmon sashimi tacos, and the kani cream croquettes. I was so excited when they opened an outpost in Flushing years ago, but sadly it shuttered during COVID. It is definitely small and there is always going to be a wait, so don't be those people who come in with a huge group during prime time because they like to move (getting customers in and out) very fast.

It can be a little tricky to find as it has a small door on the street level and is located down a flight of stairs on 35th.

My favorites here are the Omu Soba which has some tasty noodles inside and the salmon don which has some sashimi and sauce over rice!

The ube tiramisu was free since we wrote a google review for the restaurant. Everything was delicious and the zucchini was surprisingly good as well. The pork was so tender. the ebi tempura were huge, and the mazemen was thankfully not spicy. However, the scallops could've been more tender and we we were all unimpressed with the ube tiramisu.

    Izakaya Fuku in New York offers the kind of dining experience that feels memorable from the very…read morestart. Even before the food arrives, the restaurant leaves a strong impression with its stunning Japanese-inspired interior. The space is beautifully designed, blending warmth and elegance in a way that feels both inviting and refined. From the soft lighting to the natural wood accents and thoughtfully arranged decor, everything about the atmosphere feels intentional. It captures the intimate charm of a traditional izakaya while still feeling modern and stylish, making it a wonderful setting for anything from a casual dinner to a more special night out. The food more than lived up to the beauty of the space. One of the first highlights was the salmon onigiri, a dish that proved how satisfying simplicity can be when it is done well. The rice was soft, fresh, and perfectly formed, holding together without feeling too compact, while the salmon added a savory richness that made each bite feel comforting and flavorful. It was balanced, delicate, and deeply satisfying in a way that made it memorable despite its simplicity. The seared salmon salad was another standout. The salmon itself was beautifully prepared, with a lightly seared exterior that gave it a subtle crispness, while the inside remained tender, buttery, and smooth. That contrast in texture made the dish especially enjoyable. Paired with the freshness of the salad, it felt light and refreshing, yet still substantial enough to feel like more than just a side dish. It was a dish that managed to feel both clean and indulgent at the same time. The grilled squid was particularly impressive and easily one of the most memorable items of the meal. Squid can often be difficult to get right, as it can become rubbery or overly chewy if even slightly overcooked, but that was absolutely not the case here. The texture was spectacular--tender, delicate, and pleasantly springy without any toughness. Each bite had a light smokiness from the grill that added depth, while the squid itself retained its natural sweetness. It was expertly prepared and showcased a level of precision that really stood out. For the main courses, both the Tonkatsu Ramen and the Black Pepper Ramen delivered distinct experiences, each with its own appeal. The Tonkatsu Ramen was deeply comforting and satisfying, with a broth that had a rich, velvety texture and a full-bodied depth that coated the palate beautifully. It felt smooth, hearty, and luxurious without being too heavy. The noodles had an ideal texture as well--firm enough to provide a satisfying bite, yet soft enough to soak up the broth and integrate perfectly into the dish. Altogether, it was a bowl that felt warming, balanced, and incredibly comforting. The Black Pepper Ramen, on the other hand, brought a bolder and more assertive flavor profile. The broth had a smooth, glossy texture, and the noodles again had a pleasing chew that gave the dish structure and substance. The black pepper added an unmistakable warmth and aromatic intensity that made the ramen stand out immediately. It was flavorful and memorable, though the pepper was slightly overwhelming at times. A bit less black pepper would have allowed the other flavors in the broth to come through more clearly and created a more balanced bowl. Even so, the ramen was still enjoyable, especially for those who appreciate strong, pepper-forward flavors. Overall, Izakaya Fuku is a restaurant that succeeds on every level. The stunning Japanese interior creates an atmosphere that feels both immersive and elegant, while the food reflects a real attention to detail in both flavor and texture. From the comforting salmon onigiri, to the fresh and beautifully prepared seared salmon salad, to the expertly grilled squid with its exceptional texture, and finally the rich and satisfying ramen dishes, every part of the meal felt carefully executed. It is a place that offers not just excellent food, but a complete dining experience, and it is well worth visiting for anyone looking for standout Japanese cuisine in New York.

I tried their Tokyo Ramen ($22), which overall tasted pretty good. The noodles were freshly made and had good texture to it. The broth itself was light, rich, not garlicky, and tasted really clean. The portion did feel a bit on the frugal side. Service is alright for the most part. The bartender ended up taking the person's order that sat after me, which did tick me off a bit as I was ready to order myself and got skipped over. Ended up waiting another 5 minutes before I finally got to place in my order. A simple question asking if I was ready would have fixed that issue, rather than assume I wasn't.

    In a rare moment of vulnerability, I was breaking down to my big bro about the lack of quality…read moreKatsu in New York City. I got back from Japan 3 weeks ago, and the abundant access to high level Katsu ruined me. I can only equate it to growing up on Dominos Pizza, and then you have that first real quality brick oven pizza and you're like "oh there are really levels to this..." It takes a piece of your innocence that you will never get back. Big bro put a hand on my shoulder and said, "Lil Bro, I've already walked a mile in these shoes. We are going to Katsu-Hama." Next thing I know, we are on 47th street walking into what I can only describe as a wormhole straight to a restaurant in the bustling streets of Tokyo. We ordered the Berkshire Pork Loin Curry, with an extra cutlet each because we are big dawgs. Upon first bite, hope was restored. I could breath again. Beneath delicate crackles of the crisp golden shell, the pork was impossibly tender. The curry came in over the top with a gentle sweetness and depth to tie it all together. I hate to be a prisoner of the moment, but this was just as good, if not better, than any katsu I had in Japan. I've been 3 times in the past week, and Katsu-Hama is currently my favorite restaurant in New York City. SHOUTOUT TO MY BIG BRO! IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

    A friend and I came in after work and we got exactly what we were looking for. This place is really…read moreno frills without sacrificing quality. We each ordered the Chicken Cutlet Curry (B Set) with Cabbage Salad and Miso Soup. This dish is so flavorful without feeling heavy and is large enough to take leftovers home. I would order this again! Took out a star because the place is small and the tables were a little sticky but we will definitely be back!
