Chubby Cattle - Rosemead - Good Quality Meat - Barbeque Near Me - Rosemead, California

Service was very terrible here for our first time experience! Front hostess let another party of 6 ppl (preference) while we had already been waiting 30 min & received our txt that our table was ready. The hostess said, wait 5 more min & let in the party that had just arrived in their car,rushed inside to sit down while the gentleman was wiping the table. Our table. Others patrons noticed too! Finally she called us in, gave us a tablet that twice froze up & we couldn't order our food items. Was hard enough to get other busy staff employees attention Very tiny establishment for Korean BBQ. Limited menu (not the same as the Monterey park) menu. Bathroom was filthy! Food was good Everything else really, really needs improvement! read more

If there will ever be a place I miss, it might be Chubby Cattle in Monterey Park. But if there is service I'll ever miss, it will be the excellent service from the waitstaff at Chubby Cattle especially from our favorite waitress/hostess Ady. She is consummately the warmest person I've met who is constantly running around and serving every table around her to try to make everyone's experience exceptional and memorable. She is the loudest during birthdays, the one who always shouts when she sees customers coming in to sit down, and always smiling behind her mask no matter how busy the restaurant is buzzing. Aside from the service, the food is still exceptional. Earlier last year, they were hit with a bit of bad PR, but since then the restaurant is exceptionally clean and their food quality remains unmatched. The food is delicious, our favorite being the ootoro (both the A5 Miyazaki and the regular m9). The cuts of beef here are exceptional, though the Wagyu ribeye while juicy can be a bit tougher. What's still amazing is since we've been here so many times, the appetizer menu continues to evolve. Whenever we come into Chubby we are always impressed that the menu contains both old favorites like the truffle fries and newer items like Wagyu beef tendon stew. Their dessert menu has recently expanded to include egg tarts from Patisserie Too a small Alhambra business that they prominently feature along new matcha crepe cake. Anyways, it's so unfortunate we are moving out because we enjoy this restaurant so much, but when we're in town we will come back to our second home at Chubby Cattle. Viva la Chubby and thank you Ady and staff for your lovely service and taking care of us these years. read more

One of the smallest Chubby Cattle I have been to but one with the best service! Love that I was able to make a reservation online and got seated right away. It could be due to the size of the restaurant, but it was very smokey and I felt it lacked ventilation. However, the service was excellent, the food was amazing, and the price was great (one tier vs three at other Chubby Cattle establishments). I had a great time and my waitress even convinced me to upgrade my membership! A 9/10 :) read more

This review is for the two women who were working the night of April 11, 2026 who were so kind to me when I accidentally broke a bottle of their samurai sauce, causing us to need to move tables. I was so deeply embarrassed and needed to leave the restaurant briefly to cry (whoops, trauma) and these two ladies (one was our main waitress, the other was her coworker--I wish I got their names) were so, so kind to me and I just want management to know that because they went above and beyond what anybody would've done in that situation for me. They were kind, empathetic, so professional, and saw how distraught I was and even gave me a little plushie at the end of our meal and went out of their way to reassure me that everything was okay. I'm so embarrassed about breaking that bottle but they were so understanding, patient, and kind, and so I just want them to be highlighted. Also, the food was excellent, and we got seated immediately despite having no reservation on a Saturday night. I feel like both of those things come secondary to how kind and sweet those two ladies are and I will forever remember their kindness to me, even if it was a small blip in their minds. read more

Chubby Cattle - Rosemead - Barbeque Near Me - Rosemead, California

5 star dining! Truly impeccable service and hats off for the attentive staff who served my friends and family. Everything is beyond amazing here. From start to finish you are treated with respect and love. Located in the back of a plaza boasts this powerhouse who serves certified A5 wagyu at a price even the godfather couldn't refuse. Truly an experience worth having! So you get 2 hours of dining for 65+ tax and tip drinks not included. So order some soju or sake with some beers and get ready to have a flavor explosion(21 over for the spirit drinkers!). Everything was top tier. Every cut of meat. In the beginning you're given a special round of cuts (1 round only for that per table) and every 2 minutes you can order a new option up to 6 items each round. All for 65 bucks. Totally worth it. Tenderest, juiciest, fattiest cuts of Wagyu you will ever get to have in the states for the price of 65 bucks! Can it get any better? Don't want to load up on only Wagyu? They have sushi as well, plenty of sides, chicken karaage, bimbap bowls, sashimi...the list truly goes on. It's wild! If you're a foodie. Like true foodie who came to shut the place down this is the right place. Worth every penny! Also to mention it is a small eatery with big heart. Not too much seating but enough for a party of 8 in one row or just maybe 12-16 tables total. All in all an amazing experience. I want to say 8 people with drinks(alcohol and non alcohol) with everything that I mentioned above was $800 smackaroos. Basically 100 per person. I've been to dinners with just 1-2 people and spent 400-500 dollars all to leave hungry still. This was something else. Everyone was FULLLLLLLL and HAPPY! Very much worth the experience and like I said earlier everyone is attentive and super respectful. Can't ask for more for a dining experience. Also if you want to check their Japanese Wagyu cert it's on the wall. So they aren't just serving you regular beef, it's the real deal Holyfield! read more

Chubby Cattle - Rosemead - Only picture I took cause you get side tracked like a kid in a candy store. Wagyu lovers heaven! - Barbeque Near Me - Rosemead, California

This location doesn't have the tiers. But it has slightly more high quality cuts for the $65 pp compared to the silver tier at $55pp at other locations. Almost everything was good quality. The meats were decadent, salmon carpaccio was yummy, the kimchi and seaweed salad was flavorful. I liked the sauces and seasoned salt too. Was not a fan of the cheese corn ( the smell of thé cheese reminded me of Kraft Mac and cheese lol) Service was fast and attentive, we got everything a second after pressing send on the tablet, pretty impressive. They were patient and helpful as this was our first time. I love the millennial top 40s music. Such a vibe. read more

I got severe food poisoning after visiting this location on Saturday night. Do not order any of the nigiri dishes or hand rolls. It was definitely the raw fish that caused my food poisoning because I dined with my parents (who didn't consume any raw fish) and they were both fine. This is extremely upsetting because everything else tasted really good. The meats were great quality and all the food came out quickly, which was perfect because of the time limits (70 minutes to order, 90 minutes to eat). I feel like other AYCE restaurants tend to bring food out slowly, but that wasn't the case here. I would like to try this place again, but I definitely will not be getting any more of the sushi dishes. :( read more

Not sure why people ranting and raving about Chubby Cattle BBQ. With all the hypes, we came here to check it out. This location only have one set menu of $66 for nonmembers and $5.00 off each for members (you and 1 guess.). The wagyu cuts of meat was so, so. The quality is not there at all. Once you are seated, they will bring an automatic variety of special meat tray, and you pick additional dishes. The veggies selection is quite limited. King oyster mushrooms and thinly sliced zucchini and lettuce. That was the extend of vegetables. Re-fill or new selections on a tablet ands the servers will bring it out to your table. Unlike other BBQ place, the dipping sauces were pretty bland. Some brown sauce with sesame seeds, light soy sauce, dry rub spices and salt&pepper. You 70 minutes to order and eat, after that they will take the table away so you cannot order any additional items and they will kick you out if you stayed longer than 90 mins. I wonder if the so, so quality of meat is related to this location only. Can't bring myself to go to another locations to see if the meat quality is better and waste more money and calories. It can get quite smoky when the restaurant is full. read more

High quality meat combined with great service. What more can you ask for? I came with a party of 8 at 6:30pm on a Saturday to celebrate a birthday and we didn't have to wait. Overall it was a great experience and my group had a fun time. Of course, they'll embarrass the birthday person and sing a song if you ask for it for added fun. Can't wait to come back. read more

Overall, this is a good place for some barbecue. It is decently priced, and if you go for barbecue often, I think joining their special membership club is worth it because you could get a discount, some free upgrades, and gifts. I think if you look at barbecue in general, going to a comparable place, you might end up paying a bit more. But this place gives you all you can eat. Overall, the quality of the meat is pretty good, and I can't complain. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. I would definitely come back here because I am a member now. read more

I usually feel so greasy and heavy after eating bbq, but our friend introduced us to this place and it was sooo delicious! I would definitely come back here. The servers were nice and friendly. Didn't even have to wait long at all. Just look at the pictures! read more

I have heard such great things about this place and really wanted to like it. It's definitely not a cheap dinner and not really close to us so we saved it for a time when we wanted to splurge or was in the area and I can say I'm a little disappointed. The quality of meat is great! That I cannot deny. The menu was very confusing- we had 3 people explain it to us 3 different ways and I guess I still misunderstood it but it was fine. The soda was supposed to be included but it was low on syrup and when I told a random waiter walking by he just laughed and said "oh ya we're out" without even looking- which tells me they've been out for awhile? Or maybe they're just always out since it's suppose to be included? It forced us to order beers which took forever to come out and when it did it was warm. The chefs cooked some of the meats for us but not others - which I wished they would just either let them cook all of it ourselves for cook it all for us because we weren't sure which ones were which. The buffet dessert/sides part was okay, seemed like it was out all day. Overall disappointed, especially for the price, the quality of meat was good- but that was about it read more

Took my fiancée here for a birthday dinner because we were in town for a sporting event nearby. Pretty small location, but the food and vibe was great. Food (4.5/5) - Only 1 set menu at this location at $65 a person, way smaller menu options than other locations. Regardless, the food mostly was still amazing after trying basically the whole menu lol. Stand-outs def being the short rib, marinade pork belly, beef tongue and the cow plate they bring out initially. We tried a handful of sides, most just being ok besides the wagyu rice (great) and corn cheese (duh). Service (4/5) - The ice waters we were served had a strange chemically type taste, when replaced they were fine (i saw the water pitcher with cut fruit in it so idk what went wrong) other than that, it was busy when we went so the service was spotty but fine, didn't have to wait any outrageous times for new orders. Ambiance (5/5) - They nailed the decor for this small location too, themed beautifully with extremely comfortable table arrangements. Great ventilation, no smokiness. Lively, upbeat place to take someone for a celebration or a good night out for sure. read more

Tried Chubby Cattle Rosemead and the experience was overall what you'd expect from the brand--excellent meat quality and great service. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and the staff was consistently attentive, just like at their other locations. The main downside is that this location doesn't offer the same variety of drinks and desserts that places like the Little Tokyo location have. For the same price, I'd hope to get the same selection--if not more. I might come back because the quality is solid, but honestly, for the high price point, you can get better overall value at other Chubby Cattle locations. Still a good meal--just not the best version of what the brand can offer. read more

This location does have less of a selection of sushi than Rowland Heights location, BUT they serve lunch! You only get 1 brisket per person for lunch, but they have other unlimited options that no other restaurant can beat for quality vs price. Everything from their beef to their sushi is A+. Best deal I've ever seen period, especially for an AYCE Wagyu bbq. $40 w/ membership $45 w/o membership M-Th: Lunch 12-14:30 Friday: Lunch 12-17:00 read more

Absolutely delicious and great service. Only one AYCE menu option here unless you're here Monday-Thursday for the lunch special. Be warned: your 90 minute limit is dining time, not ordering time, so your last call will happen earlier than you expect! Plan accordingly ;) The salmon carpaccio is surprisingly great. We should have ordered 4 of these, one for each of us. My only regret. Otherwise the beef tongue, wagyu steak and wagyu ootoro was great. Super high quality meat and so tender and juicy. The meal gets topped off with ice cream for dessert. I came here to eat a chubby cattle and left chubby myself. read more

I heard so much about chubby cattle and was so excited to try this place out for a night of celebration. I love how they automatically order a large platter of variety of cuts to start off. It helps you guide which cuts you like so that you can order more. Ordering on the iPad was also convenient so that you don't have to flag a server down to order more. Even though you can order a certain number of items at once and there's a cooloff time, we found the food to come out fast and never had to wait too much. You just have to be good at managing time cooking versus ordering! The meat quality is good quality, I especially enjoyed the beef tongue! I enjoyed the marinated meats initially but I think I would stick to their plain meats. Their sushi and carpacico was so good, definently do not skip out! Lastly, they give out complimentary icecream, which was so good! The restaurant itself is smaller than I expected, probably on the smaller side of restaurants out of all the Chubby Cattles. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant, our table felt isolated and never too crowded. read more

I don't even know where to start. This place was everything! It's lik kbbq but also with japanese food. Came here with fam to celebrate bdays and it was so good. Unfortunately idk the names of any of the meats that we got but you can't go wrong bc everything was so good. First of all it's an all you can eat - what beats that? And everything was delish. There's a little arcade w games at the front which was fun esp for the kids but we didn't have to wait too long bc we had a res. I started with the milk tea ofc and it was so good then got the banchan - i specifically loved the seaweed salad and i love how they had so many sauces and you can make your own. We got sushi as well which was pretty good but the meats were def my fav. There's sashimi was yummy and I liked the hand roll that I got. We also got the lobster roll which was good but had uni on it which I don't love. They also had a miso soup dispenser which was amazing and rice with furikake as a topping (my fav!!) they had Wagyu sliders which were also reallyyyy good. Basically everything was good lol. we ended with the matcha mochi which was a great dessert. Def wanna come back read more

After hearing about it for a long time I finally got to try Chubby Cattle recently. The Rosemead location is tucked away in a plaza with plenty of parking. We were seated very quickly and handed a tablet to order food from. There is a limit of 6 dishes every two minutes which is plenty of food. They started us off with the A5 Miyazaki's secret which comes in a cow shaped platter. The service was very good, the servers came around frequently and discreetly to fill our waters and replace our grills. The meat was super fatty so in the beginning we struggled cooking it because the flames would shoot up from the grill, but our server helpfully suggested we place the fattier pieces near the edge of the grill. And voila! Problem solved! We enjoyed our meal, but the fattiness of the meat was a bit overwhelming for us towards the end, so I recommend having some kimchi and tomatoes as a palate cleanser. Though I did find myself wishing they had the pickled radish slices often found in kbbq places. At the end of the meal they came by with some melon bars for dessert. I wad very satisfied. Glad I was able to come by and check this place out! read more

Today was our first time visiting Chubby Cattle. Initially I was a little skeptical about all of the fantastic reviews, but it lived up to all the great press! The portion sizes are perfect to allow you to try a large variety of their menu. All of the servers are super attentive and personable. The meats are super high quality, extremely fresh and flavorful! Even all of the sides are tasty and better than I expected. I was exceptionally impressed with their stone pot bibimbop. For the meats, the marinated skirt steak was my favorite, of which I think we ordered 6 of them! My kids loved their desserts; the Swiss roll, egg tarts (super hot and fresh), as well as the Melona ice cream bars. Once your place the order, the servers are super quick in having your dishes out. The only thing I wished they had more of was space. The booths are a little cramped for a party of 5, and the restaurant seems to have difficulty accommodating larger parties, but we will definitely be back! read more

Meat quality is amazing and they even have solid hand rolls! The beef tongue was my favorite!

It's still an AYCE, but only the silver level Chubby Cattle experience. The variety is pretty limited, and if you're going for value, you'll probably end up ordering the same two or three items over and over. There's also less variety in the in-between stuff to break up all the wagyu, which makes the meal feel a little repetitive. I didn't think this location was that good overall, but at the end of the day, it's still Chubby Cattle. Service: Standard and efficient Food/Drinks: Limited variety, repetitive ordering, less balance outside of the meats Ambiance: Standard Chubby Cattle but loud music and smoky 6/10 Still Chubby Cattle, but this location feels more limited than expected read more
