Good quality is really good! And our server Jolin went through the menu very patiently. Atmosphere is nice, but the seats for party of 6 is quite limited. Other than that, it was a good gathering experience. read more

Great service and meat is good quality! our server Sylvia is very helpful! would definitely comeback read more

We used to love this place and even took our friends from OC here. We came back yesterday and we were quite disappointed ): We felt as if the quality wasn't as great as before. The food was ok-- not bad but not as good as we remembered. We got the supreme tier and it had a good selection of meats. Don't get me wrong-- it's good to try but maybe we just aren't into it anymore. The service always feels rushed here. I get they want the turnover to be as timely as possible and want us to order as much as we can in that time but it wouldn't hurt for the servers to be more warm and welcoming. The restaurant is small so it feels crammed but that wasn't really an issue. read more

Holy cow!!! Honestly, this AYCE yakiniku spot is pretty reasonable , starting at $49with premium meat, sushi, and sashimi included! We chose the Supreme Tier ($59), which comes with even more luxury items like A5 wagyu and uni! This is a perfect addition to our Inland Empire community. $49起特選高質和牛 仲有壽司和刺身 各種特色小菜 全部任食 IG: socalhkfoodies read more

I came here for an employee dinner and it was not a great experience. Plenty of parking in the lot, located in a small strip mall. They weren't very busy, maybe one other table, and we stood at the front for over 15 minutes waiting for someone to seat us. We sat down and waited another 20 minutes or so for menus. When the waitress came over she said only "ready?" And I told her we were still waiting for menus. She looked annoyed and finally brought 2 mes us for the 5 of us. Also, the place was practically empty but they crammed us into the smallest table and put a chair on the end and it was an....interesting choice knowing how much food comes out for Japanese BBQ. We asked the waitress how to order since it was our first time there and she said "pick one." I still don't know what that meant so I let someone else just "pick one." I'm still unclear on how to order at this place, although I've been to dozens of Japanese BBQ places and had great experiences. She was not helpful and I had to ask her 4 or 5 times for drinks. And each time we needed to order more food we had to get up and actually flag her or someone else down. (Did I mention there was only ONE other party of 2 at the restaurant at the time?!) I was pretty frustrated with the entire experience and didn't end up eating anything despite paying for the over $500 check for my team. We waited over 30 minutes for the check and I had to stand up for several minutes just looking for ANY employee to bring us our check so that we could leave. I do NOT recommend this spot, find literally any other Japanese BBQ spot, because they don't seem to actually want any business and it was an overall terrible (and expensive) experience. We were there on June 3 around 5:30PM. read more

If you've been to chubby cattle, this place is very comparable. The quality and cuts are the same and I highly recommend the spices on the table. Premium menu is legit and so worth it. This is definitely worth your money compared to chubby cattle. Plenty of parking and no wait on a Monday night. Service is super quick as well. It's more of a relaxed environment and less overstimulating than chubby but I think it would be hard to do a large party here considering they have really small tables. read more

My sister picked this place & I'm so glad she did. The food was so good. The meats were very tender & premium quality. There are three pricing tiers, I forgot to take a picture of the menu but it's definitely affordable for the quality of meats you get. The meats are perfectly marinated, didn't really need to dip it in any sauce. They have hand rolls on the menu and many other items. We were too hungry, so couldn't get many photos. The service wasn't the greatest on the day I went. I wish they were a little more attentive to us as they were not very busy. The restaurant is very clean and on the smaller side. Definitely recommend you to try it! It is so good!! read more

He truly knows how to take care of customers, ensuring that every guest feels valued and well looked after. For those visiting your establishment for the first time, I would highly recommend making a reservation to guarantee a smooth and pleasant experience. read more

Holy Cow - Barbeque Near Me - Chino Hills, California

I was invited to Holy Cow for a business meeting since it was a fair halfway point for the three of us to meet in this area. When I looked up the menu ahead of time, I was pretty excited at the wagyu selection. The plaza has many good dining spots and plenty of parking. I had a Yelp Reservation but it didn't seem needed at opening time. The restaurant was on the smaller side, but it didn't get to busy during our time there. I feel like they are a direct competitor to the chubby-brand but the chubby group is doing a better job with marketing and execution. Our waitress seemed to be the only front of house staff that we encountered. There was a language barrier. She was terrible at explaining the menu and she missed some of the items we ordered. It would have been confusing if I didn't already read some reviews on the business prior. So we decided on the Supreme Tier ($59/person) menu where we could each pick 1 special meat, and 1 special dish, and it's all you can eat of the rest of the meats. I can't recall the special meats we order because she didn't really tell us what was what, but I remember liking 2 out of 3. For the special dish I wanted the uni scallop carpaccio, but they were out. Instead we decided to get the langoustine sashimi with uni. That was pretty good. From the regular AYCE selection we did the M9s, the Signature Cut upon recommendation, short rib, beef tongue, tiger shrimp, zabuton. It was hard to reorder because we were trying to reorder the ones we liked. I told her it was the marbling one and she said it was signature cut, then she brought out something with NO MARBLING AT ALL. Sigh. I can say confidently that the zabuton was good cause we ordered that as an alone order for one round. From their sides their sesame tofu was one of the favorites and the pickled items like the cucumbers and kimchi were good reliefs to the meat heavy meal. My colleagues enjoyed the squid salad too. I also munched on some edamame. Not that any of these stand out but it was needed to offset the wagyu. I feel like this restaurant has potential but the waitress was not attentive, had poor communication, and missed some of our orders. At the end she kept insisting for us to write her a review for a free soda... not sure how many of these reviews are for that free soda... but pass... I don't need your free soda! I need my orders brought out correctly. read more

*Came to a birthday party celebration and had a 6pm dinner reservation *Fresh, excellent, and solid choice of wagyu meats. *Place is small and compact. We're a party of 7 and had to be split into 2 tables for each table seats only 4 ppl. Definitely not the place if you plan to dine together with a big group. *There are 3 different tier pricing and we had the Supreme mid tier priced at $59 pp. *Service was okay. I felt rushed when the server hands you all the meats to grill until your next order. *Personal favorite was the Langoustine Sashimi w/ Uni & fried oyster under Special Dishes. Too bad they only give you 1 piece pp. read more

TLDR - Good service, Good parking, Food is below average. This is a really small restaurant that serves ayce wagyu at a pretty fair price point. The only thing is, thats really all they do. theres not much to compliment your meal and with meat thats as fatty as this is, you just end up getting greened out and its just too much fat. There's nothing to cut through this fattiness so it ends up being too much. I will say the service is REALLY good, they're very attentive, the food comes out fast and its very homey. If you LOVE beef and know that the fattiness of the beef won't be an issue you'd probably love this place. read more

Holy Cow - Barbeque Near Me - Chino Hills, California

This place is worth it especially if you only care about the price and quality. I say that because compared to other restaurants with similar concepts like Chubby Cattle, this place is less expensive but you don't get the luxury feel and ambience of a restaurant like Chubby Cattle. However, if you don't care about that Holy Cow is definitely a solid option. We chose their $59 Supreme Tier so that we could choose from their Special Dishes. Even their $49 Platinum Tier would be worth it considering they have good options in that menu as well. Their A5 Thick Cut Otoro under the Special Meats would definitely be my favorite cut out of everything we tried-perfectly tender and fatty. The M9 + Karubi, A5 Thick Cut Short Rib and Full Blood Wagyu Short Rib are also highly ranked for me but honestly you can't go wrong with any of their cuts. I tried 12 different meats and they were all pretty good. However, the one downside on their menu were their sushi items. I had higher expectations considering their meats were all pretty good so I definitely would not recommend coming here for sushi and mainly sticking to their meats. The service here is straightforward and really quick. Overall, I'd come back if I'm craving some wagyu! read more

Initially I was in the mood for some higher end Korean BBQ, but after some convincing from my friend, we decided on trying something new/different and I'm glad we did since I'm usually a little leary on trying something new. We went with the Supreme tier since the highest one didn't really seem like it offered anything worthwhile to us. The Supreme tier comes with 1 order *per person* for both the Special Meats (supposedly A5) and Special Dishes. Aside from the Special items that are limited, the rest of the menu is unlimited, including the sides. Without any proof of proper certification, I'm not entirely sure this is truly A5 BMS 8-12 wagyu, but regardless, it is incredibly marbled. Personally I cooked these pieces until parts of it began to sizzle and brown, allowing the fat to render. If you've never had it before, it is very rich and melts in your mouth. The good news is that the rest of the meat was still really good quality. In fact, the Wild Red Shrimp under the cheaper Platinum tier was actually much better than the Black Tiger Shrimp under the more costly Supreme tier. Honestly, the Black Tiger shrimp is kinda like your average run-of-the-mill shrimp from the market. I'm not a shrimpologist, but I want to say the "wild red shrimp" might be something like Ridgeback shrimps? Either way, the texture of the wild red shrimp was much better, in my opinion. I also really like the fact that the carpaccio (sashimi) was unlimited. I wouldn't consider myself a gymbro (ok maybe a little), but the fact that I can load up on grilled meat, sashimi, and veggie sides is awesome. Food experience aside, I was surprised by how small it was inside. It's all black too, so it looks and feels dark which is nice. Front of House service was fine, but the time it took for our items to come out was pretty slow, so tables don't turn very quickly which translates to long wait times, especially during peak hours like dinner or on the weekends. Speaking of dinner, maybe it's because I'm more of a dinner person, but I think next time around it'll be even more enjoyable during dinnertime. I will definitely be back in the near future, preferably after a gym sesh lol (ok I guess maybe I might be a gymbro) read more

Came for dinner on a Saturday around 5 pm as a party of 6 with no reservations and was seated right away. Parking was easy because it's in a huge plaza. Note: The restaurant itself is a bit small and all of the tables are booths that are meant to fit parties of 4. We were able to squeeze 3 people on one side and get a chair for another at the end but it was pretty crowded. We went with the platinum tier for $49 per person since it was our first time. You can order 5 meats and 5 side dishes at one time. They have a lot of side dishes you can choose from, which was nice. We had difficulty flagging someone down to order more food in the beginning but more staff showed up eventually and everything was really speedy afterwards. We liked a lot of the meat we chose and the salmon and tuna carpaccio were also really good; better than their nigiri counterparts. The salmon handroll was also great and super flavorful. read more

I went to a super nice jbbq in Seattle and I've been chasing that high since i returned back to California. Wagyu factory is good but i just dislike how thin the meats are sometimes and how they get stuck to the gril so you're basically fighting with the food while you're grilling. Holy cow had caught my eye a while back but i forgot about it and never went. While looking for Jbbq spots in California i rediscovered it and decided to drop by with my mom and husband. We went on a Friday around 6pm so they weren't open that long. The place wasn't packed but did have people, as we were leaving i did notice a lot of big parties coming in. I want to note that the inside is actually pretty small for a bbq spot. But they're super attentive and constantly coming around to check on you. The meats were honestly all really good. We got their middle tier to try the uni scollop and they didn't have it at 6pm! It was already sold out. I was honestly pretty baffled by how something sold out in an hour when you can only get a set amount of items. So their specialty items you can only get once and it's the number of people you have. So i had 3 people, you can only get three items off the specialty items list and that's it. I misunderstood and thought you could get 1 item only 3 times. I was heavily disappointed by that option but the rest of the meat was nice so i got over it pretty quickly. I love how they have their sides set up with a bunch of things to order. We really liked the carpaccio for the salmon and tuna. We didn't really care for the seared stuff. Their sides like kimchi, seaweed salad, and bean sprouts were also great. I really enjoyed that. The meats were all great and the slices for the thinly sliced ones were not super thing where they'd get stuck to the grill so i really appreciate that. I will say, i wasn't really impressed with any of their steak portions, i preferred more of their thin cuts or short ribs. Something that i do want to note is that their water just sucks. Idk its small in there and a little hot with the grill, and the water just doesn't have any ice so its just like lukewarm water. Kinda meh in that aspect, but easily fixable... Overall it's a good Jbbq spot, we really did enjoy it and would return :) read more

Came here for a work lunch on Thursday at noon with 16 people. I had made a reservation the week prior but maybe the scheduler missed it and only one server was scheduled for the day, Ken. He let us know right away that it was going to be just him and that he was going to do his best. And his best he did! It didn't even feel like they were short staffed at all. He was extremely efficient and took all of our orders timely, and cleared our empty trays as soon as we put it down. He had a great attitude the whole time and made this such a wonderful experience for everyone! He perfectly embodied what top tier customer service is. Thank you so much Ken! read more

The meats here were super premium. My favorite was the wagyu steak. We made the mistake of ordering too much brisket so unfortunately didn't have much space left for the wagyu steak. Our server Kenny was top tier. He made sure our water was always filled and even though the restaurant was super busy during dinner rush, he made it a point to always come by and check on us. There were some delays sometimes but it's to be expected with how busy the restaurant was. I really liked the appetizers. Wagyu and sushi nigiri hit the spot so I didn't even need to order rice separately. I would recommend coming here. Especially if you are coming off a long drive from Vegas like we did. read more

Japanese Bbq in Chino Hills is here and this place is legit. Having a great selection of beef cuts and many fun appetizers. The only downside to this place is that it is small. Also, the tables are only for a party of four. So it would be hard if you have a birthday party and so on. Everything came out super quick and I really did enjoy my dinner here. Came with a party of three and had to wait a little bit. So if you want to check out some Japanese Bbq this is the spot. read more

It's my partner and I's first time at Holy Cow and it def didn't disappoint! We're not from Chino Hills and we're only here for an event but wanted to check out the food scene. We came across this place and were shocked at the wide range of food that they offer from wagyu to salmon and tuna carpaccio. The service we received was great, and Sylvia made sure we were taken care of! Also anytime we had an empty plate someone would immediately take it away. Great service and great food.

The manager Ken is the best, the food is amazing and totally worth the price. I will definitely come back again!

Food selection is great overall if you're a big meat person. I'm not, so I usually order more shrimp and sushi while the rest of the party chows down on the meat. They come in small portions, which is nice so you can try them and make sure you like it before ordering more. Sushi options consist of tuna or salmon so it's not a huge selection, which is expected since you don't go here for the sushi. I was excited to try the crab salad, but it turned out it was imitation crab. The quality of the sides could use a little boost. For the special items, we liked the scallop with uni best. The items with wagyu seemed like a waste since you can already order that off the menu and the fried oysters were pretty small. They also used to give popsicles but they said they don't anymore and only offer green tea ice cream that u have to take with u on your way out. We forgot to ask for it and they didn't offer, prob because they were too busy. We came on a holiday weekend when they opened and were seated promptly. It got busy pretty quickly and there were only 2 servers for the whole restaurant. You could tell they were trying to be friendly but were overwhelmed and needed more help. Would recommend them to hire at least one more server to alleviate the stress from the servers and provide a better experience for the guests since it was hard to flag them down as they were carrying dishes most of the time. They can def afford to hire more people since they charge full price for kids over 48in and half price for kids over 39in even though they barely eat anything. Overall a good option comparable to Chubby Cattle if you don't want to make the drive out somewhere further or want to try somewhere new. Plenty of parking in the huge lot and it's next to Baskin Robbin's. read more

Can't believe I didn't know about this place sooner! The quality of the meat was excellent, and the service was spectacular from start to finish. Our group came in during the early afternoon and waited about 20 minutes to be seated. The space is a bit small, so I imagine larger groups may have a longer wait. We opted for the platinum tier and tried all the meats. Our favorites were the Wagyu Finger Meat, Beef Tongue, Kanubi, and Pork Jowl. For sides, we especially loved the salmon nigiri, salmon carpaccio, and the brown sugar rice cake. Every time we placed an order, the meats came out almost immediately, which made the experience even better. The service was quick, attentive, and overall exceeded our expectations. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to! read more

Went to Holy Cow for my birthday dinner this past weekend. First experience at a Japanese AYCE BBQ. Blown away by the assortment of good quality Wagyu meats. My favorite was the beef belly Yumm! Also very happy with the AYCE sides selection. Among others, we enjoyed the chicken karaage, seared salmon nigiri and salmon carpaccio. The fish was so tasty & good quality as well. I would have given it 5 stars except for a slight disappointment. For children, cost is determined by height not age so we ended up paying full price for a 10 year old that mainly ate some karaage and fries . Otherwise the food was excellent and service was quick and efficient. read more

It's wild what a couple of months can do to a place. I remember coming to Holy Cow when it was still finding its footing. No lines, no hype. Felt like my little secret. I knew it was only a matter of time before it blew up. Compared to the always-packed Chubby Cattle, the quality here was on par with zero compromise. Same-level meat, way less chaos. Easy choice. I'd pick Holy Cow every time. Meat quality: flawless. Super tender, high-quality wagyu (and fish.) Service: attentive and proactive without hovering. Ambience: cool, small, and intimate. Great for date nights or small groups, but not ideal for big parties. I once came with a group of six and it was definitely tight. Pro tip: if you're beef tongue fan like I am, ask for wasabi and lemon. Oooooh boy.. read more

Chose this place for my very first 2026 yelp reviews. The service is definitely friendly and welcoming. They help cook your meat too. Cala is our server. She is so kind. The place is neat and clean. I love all the meat we ordered because they are good quality and thinly slices. Worth the price for sure. They have great selections of side dishes and even their french fried is amazing. What a great first time visiting. I am very impressed. I have to give this place five stars right out the gate because the quality overall matches the high reviews they received. We enjoy the meal and will be back. If you are in the area. Highly recommend this place. read more
