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

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

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

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

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

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 - Pork belly - Barbeque Near Me - Chino Hills, California

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

Holy Cow - Wagyu Beef Taco - Barbeque Near Me - Chino Hills, California

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

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

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

Tried Holy Cow recently and overall I'd give it around a 4/5. The experience was still fun and the quality was solid, but there were a few things that kept it from really standing out compared to other KBBQ spots in the area. Food: The meat quality was good, but I've definitely had better for the price point. One thing we noticed pretty quickly was that the meat cuts were pretty thin and the portions were on the smaller side, so we ended up having to order numerous rounds. The grill was also kind of weak which made cooking take a lot longer than expected and slowed the whole meal down. The "special" menu itemsdidn't feel that special or different enough to justify upgrading. I think the Platinum tier is probably the better value overall. Surprisingly, the highlight of the entire meal was the salmon carpaccio. It was DELICIOUS -- honestly better than the salmon carpaccio I've had at a lot of sushi restaurants. Super fresh, flavorful, and easily the standout dish of the night. We order 8 plates of this! Location & Vibes: The restaurant itself was nice and clean with a modern vibe. Service was fast and solid and the atmosphere made it a good place to hang out with friends. Overall: A good bbq spot if you're in the area, but for the price there are probably better KBBQ spots out there. read more

4 stars because they served us really cold almost frozen salmon. They need to be more careful about serving those but otherwise their service was good. Not phenomenal but good. Had to wait a little bit to get started. Kinda annoying that they only let you order only a few at a time, Especially with the side dishes I thought were unnecessary. Seats and the place in general is small and tight but it's not uncomfortable. It's just small. I honestly liked it better than chubby cattle. Would recommend a lot more if they actually fix their ordering and also their cold salmon. read more

Had such a great experience at Holy Cow! Our server, Sylvia, was amazing--super friendly, helpful, and the service was incredibly fast. The food did not disappoint either. Our absolute favorites are the thick Wagyu zabuton, Wagyu top loin, and Wagyu brisket--everything was so flavorful and cooked perfectly. The first time we came, we also had the Wagyu beef taco and it was absolutely incredible. Our favorite sides are the cucumber salad, salmon carpaccio, and the Wagyu bowl--highly recommend trying those as well. Everything from the service to the food was on point. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area! 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

Plu is the best! Super friendly and always has a smile! She reminded me a lot like my best friend! This restaurant is definitely hidden gem. Located inside the same plaza as Habit Burger and Smart and Finals off Chino Hills Pkwy. Most of the parking spot is compact. No reservation was available so we walked in and joined the waitlist. For party of 4 it took about 40 minute of wait time. Got seated right away and seats are little tight due to the vent being under the table. You get three options to pick from and we opted in for the most expensive tier which is Ultimate Tier for $69.99. It was worth the extra $20 because you get the A5 option plus the M9 meat from Supreme Tier. All the sides were pretty good. We ate lot of the carpaccio and nigiri sushi and tuna hand roll. We also ordered lot of kimchi too. Surprisingly the seafood tartare was good too but I think it was more of guac with spicy tuna on top with chips. The meat quality was superb and they were definitely busy. They now have BEER and SAKE option. I was bummed since we were there to celebrate my brothers birthday and not having anything to toast with was sad. But when we walked in they had drinks menu. Which I totally forgot to take a picture of (guess gives me a reason to go back soon). Great experience and walked out with my tummy satisfied. For those that wants to try wagyu meat and don't want to break the bank this is the spot. Other wagyu spots are little more expensive and non-AYCE spots are even smaller in portions. read more
