This was the best experience. Ethan was always there to help with recommendations and grill changes. 10/10 would come back

Absolutely love this place! Food Options and the service at Wagyu Kitchen are amazing. Everyone is super friendly, welcoming, and genuinely caring. Servers constantly check on our table, making sure everything is good and that we don't need anything. The restaurant is also very clean, and you can tell the staff really care about their customers and their experience. They pay attention to the little details, which makes such a difference. What I love most is the consistency whether we come on a super busy weekend or when it's slow, we always receive the same excellent service. The place is also very clean and the staff really care about their customers. Special thanks to Tri, Thomas, and everyone working there! You guys are amazing. I love this place and will definitely keep coming back! read more

Meat: 5.5 Sides: 3.5 Ambiance:4 Service :5 The sides is the only issue. If the kimchi was not so limp and soaked in water, and there were other sides that felt more fresh, I would be here weekly. The meat is the star by far. Service is second. Very warm servers . The upfront of the house was. It welcoming but they likely don't want more customers. I will be back. Order early and often. It's a very good deal. Lots of good parking and nearby. Bon appetit. read more

I walked away after dinner not smelling like I had KBBQ I'd say their ventilation system is really good oftentimes when I go to a KBBQ place there's no denying that I went. Anyhoo the quality of their beef is really good and so is the pork. It's all you can eat. Wide selection of sushi soup Staff friendly and mindful of changing our grill plates. read more

和牛自助餐 仲有好多其他選擇 A5 brisket and A5 chuck roll were so mouthwatering! But it's much more than just Wagyu. They also have unlimited sashimi, a great variety of rolls, hot dishes, fruit, and desserts. Loved the unique flavors like durian & cheese and purple sweet potato & cheese! The egg tart and spicy wings reminded me of KFC in Asia Starting at $34.99, definitely lots of variety for an AYCE buffet! IG: socalhkfoodies read more

Another chubby restaurant. Came here with some friends on a Friday night. Waited about 45 minutes for a table. The restaurant took over the old Gyu Kaku spot - tight seating so not the best for larger parties. Pretty much what you expect from one of these BBQ chubby spots. Rather than somebody bringing you meat, you grab it from the long line of self serve stations. They've got raw meat, cooked items, some sweets, soups/stews, and sushi. It was a good selection of stuff and the quality of everything was pretty good. Service was efficient. No complaints overall. If you're into these wagyu, AYCE, BBQ, Chubby places, this is a an alright one. I'd personally go to one of the other offerings in Rowland Heights. read more

Wagyu Factory - spread - Barbeque Near Me - Brea, California

Solid first visit to Wagyu Factory! I recently signed up for the Chubby Club+ membership so we've trying to go to a few locations over the last few weeks. This location has limited parking behind the business, but across the street in downtown Brea there's a big parking garage. We came in late evening so the restaurant was only 50% full. The staff seated us fast and our server Tri took great care of us the whole time. He explained every thing here is basically self serve, and the items are mostly similar to Chubby Cattle except you grab what you like. He did explain in the near future it will be like Chubby Cattle style where you can order on the tablet. The location is cool. I liked the aesthetics of the restaurant, a bit of a futuristic vibe. Everything has some some of form of wagyu to the on the curries and soups. They offer sushi pieces and vegetables. As far as the meats, its grab whatever you want as long as it available. Wagyu sliders are also offered here too and that item is SO GOOD! We enjoyed the experience and took our time. We didn't feel rushed or the need to grab as much as you can to get your money's worth. Tri was kind enough to make all his tremendous suggestions on food and even put together a great dipping sauce for us. Overall, I enjoyed Wagyu factory! I wouldn't mind coming back again as it was less hectic and felt more laid back in the later hours compared to how busy chubby cattle can get. Great dinner and tremendous service from the staff here on a Friday night! Thanks, Wagyu Factory! ( ^_^)b read more

We've been to Wagyu Factory in Brea several times now, and it has consistently been a great experience. The food is always delicious, and the employees are friendly, welcoming, and helpful. On our most recent visit, our server, Marcus, recommended trying their special Crazy Sauce, which has a nice spicy kick. We're so glad we took the recommendation because it was fantastic and paired really well with the meats. The restaurant is all-you-can-eat, buffet style. You simply choose the meats, vegetables, seafood, and other items you want from the buffet, then bring them back to your table to cook yourself. It's a fun, interactive dining experience, especially with family or friends. One thing I would skip is the fried food selection. While it's available, I don't think it's nearly as good as the fresh items you cook yourself. They also offer sushi, but I've occasionally noticed that it appears to have been sitting out for a while, so I'm not always confident about its freshness. Be sure to save room for dessert! The cake rolls and egg tarts are consistently delicious and are one of my favorite ways to end the meal. They also have a self-serve soda fountain with unlimited refills, which my kids always enjoy, while I'm perfectly happy sticking with water. Overall, Wagyu Factory has become one of our go-to spots for Japanese BBQ. The consistently good food, friendly service, and fun dining experience keep us coming back. read more

Came here for lunch. Great deal!! Great selection of Wagyu and other types of meat. Not only that there is sushi, other selections of tempura, steamed dumplings and even Swiss rolls for dessert.

Definitely a 4+ star restaurant the bonus 5th star for our very friendly and attentive server Stanley S. He went above and beyond to answer all my questions. Loved that the restaurant was small, so everything seemed reachable and way to get. The layout and idea was excellent. You can your own meat, seafood, veggies to grill at your table. There were also egg tarts, drinks, Waygu mini burgers, appetizers, snacks, chocolate roll, dumplings and soft drink to take. The only suggestion is if at least one type of milk tea was included. Parking was easy: just park at the garage opposite. Will come again! read more

Thursday dinner was $50 per person. 90 minute limit. All self served AYCE stations available with meats and seafood, vegetables, sushi and rolls, fried food and soda machine. The restaurant was much smaller than I expected and the layout was a little weird. I didn't like how the doors were open for a while, which is right near the sushi station. Flies were seen landing..which made you second guess what to eat. The meat qualities were extremely low grade. Some meats were completely frozen, all stuck together, making it hard to grab with tongs. The tongs were placed everywhere, not truly designated for each individual item. Basically cross contamination galore, especially for people who are unable to eat certain items. The selections were constantly empty. They couldn't keep it replenished or stocked quickly enough compared to the crowds. I definitely don't think it was worth the price point. The restrooms were extremely dirty, too. Almost forgot, we were seated at a table that still had dirty, filled cups, and one grill was only partially operable. Unfortunately, this was a no for me. read more

There was plenty of parking available in the structure across the street, which was convenient. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience was disappointing. We waited nearly an hour to be seated, and once inside, the restaurant felt quite cramped. The table we were given seemed better suited for 2 to 3 people rather than 4. The table was small, and it was positioned too close to the wall that getting in and out of our seats was difficult. Service was also lacking. Our server was not very attentive and we had to flag him down multiple times to have the dishes cleared from our table. The only times he proactively checked on us were when he brought the bill and when we paid. I also did not like being required to download the restaurant's app. On top of that, only about half of the grill surface actually cooked meat properly, which made the dining experience negative. As for the food, the meat quality was decent, but most of the other food items were below expectations. Although,, the Wagyu Burger was surprisingly good. Overall, we left disappointed and felt the experience did not live up to the hype. 2.5/5 read more

My family and I came here for lunch on the weekend and ended up waiting more than an hour and a half before getting a table. The restaurant is smaller than other Chubby Group locations I've been to, and with so many people waiting, the space felt quite crowded and a little tight. At around $50 per person, I think the price is fair for the quality of the meat. My biggest issue wasn't the cost, but the overall experience. The long wait was already a challenge, and the meat refills were slower than I expected. With only 90 minutes to eat, I never really felt like I had enough time to enjoy the meal. The restaurant does have other options like hamburgers, fried rice, and some dumplings, but I came here mainly for the meat and sushi. The meat was fresh and tasted good, but the sushi didn't really stand out to me. There weren't many choices, and I felt the quality was just average. It was a very busy day, so maybe the staff were just overwhelmed. One small thing that stood out was that after we were seated, no one brought us cups for our drinks, and we had to find someone ourselves. Staff also stopped by asking if everything was okay, but they often walked away before we even had a chance to respond. It wasn't a huge issue by itself, but together with the long wait and slow refills, it made the whole experience feel less enjoyable than what I've had at other restaurants in the same group. In the end, while the meat was good for the price, there wasn't anything that made me want to come back. read more

Thomas was great and funny! The sauce he made was amazing! We enjoyed our food and service.

First off, the self serve area needs to be bigger to accommodate more people. It's so tight. Food is delicious and service is great. Very romantic vibe read more

My family and I wanted to have BBQ so we stopped by Wagyu Factory. The place wasn't busy at 4pm, so we were seated right away. It's a self services place, so you get the meats and sides you want. The meats they offered were placed in small amouts and were more often times than not unavailable. A lot of the time, as soon as the meats were replenished, they were just as fast emptied. For the most part, the wagyu meats were tender and delicious. They did also have pork and lamb too. For the other items, I liked the egg tart and corn cheese as they weren't too sweet and oftered a nice change in pace to the meal. read more

This place is going to replace all Kbbq places in the future. The only things I would add would be a larger dessert menu but this place was awesome!! You go up and grab what you want both hot and raw items. The cooler the meats are kept in are super chilled. Hot section: Big udon noodles, fried rice, tempura shrimp French fries There's a dim sum and dumpling section There's Japanese curry if you want curry There's a sushi and sashimi section There's a soda station There's a section that had wagyu burgers There's a sauce and condiments station The sauce for the bbq at the table is delicious!! Member pricing vs non member pricing - at this specific location if you're a member you can get non member discount pricing for up to 4 other people - so $34.99 after member discount for lunch pricing Definitely come hungry!! Our server was really nice, the location isn't that large so I assume it gets busy for dinner. When we went it wasn't too busy, more of a casual setting. And they sing for birthdays so it may get loud at times. Parking: There's a small lot directly behind the building and then a medium sized lot adjacent to the building and then there's a parking structure near by as well so plenty of parking options if one or both of the lots are full. read more

Wagyu Factory - Barbeque Near Me - Brea, California

I've tried majority of the Chubby Group restaurants and had tried the Wagyu Factory in Tustin for the hot pot, so I was really curious how the bbq version would be. I love Chubby Cattle but the price point is a bit steep so hearing that this was a more affordable option, I was ready to try it! What's great about this location is that everything is self serve. No waiting on your servers or flagging them down to bring your meats, it's all at the self serve stations! They have a variety of hot foods, fried foods, sushi, desserts, soft drinks and of course the meat station. The meat were lower quality than Chubby, but I already expected that, so it wasn't a surprise to me. We went on a Saturday night around 5pm and only had to wait for about 10 minutes. It was a good time because everything at the self serve stations were pretty well replenished at all times. We loved the vegetables, especially the zucchini and the mushrooms. Not sure how it's marinated but it tastes so delicious on the grill. Be careful to not burn them though! My friends loved the wagyu burger and I thought it was decent, a little dry for me though. I liked the lobster roll though, good amounts of lobster! Tri was our server, and he was absolutely fantastic! Not only did he give us the pro tip of using wasabi on the wagyu with the salt (try it, it's sooo good!!) but he was very efficient in cleaning up the empty plates and changing our grill! The only con was really the sushi bar which I was really looking forward to. The rice on the salmon nigiri was unfortunately not cooked all the way. Other than that, we had a great experience and luckily with the Chubby Plus discount, cost-wise, it wasn't too bad! Would come back again when I'm in the area! read more

Wagyu Factory - Different choices of meat :) - Barbeque Near Me - Brea, California

We came here for lunch. First off our host Cici was very kind and helpful. Stanley our server was also very friendly and quick too. We have been to multiple chubby group spots, most notably chubby cattle. Given the lunch discount and the format, we like this one the most. At 34.99 it was reasonable and we enjoyed being able to choose our meat selection and portion. Being that it's not that expensive we're not pressured to eat as much as we can either. Overall 5/5 and this is probably our favorite chubby club spot. *note that the lobster roll and galbi is not available during lunch. read more

Just left Wagyu Factory and really enjoyed it. Great selection overall, especially the meats. Good variety of sauces too. The Wagyu stew was my favorite of the cooked dishes. Sushi was good and tasted fresh. Only thing I'd change is more dessert options. Other than that, solid experience. Manager Alex is awesome kept everything running smooth, and our server Myleen was on top of it. Our son dropped a fork and without waiting to ask for another, she saw and had one back before we can ask. Overall though? Already planning the comeback. Highly recommend! read more

All you can eat heaven! Variety of wagyu meats, pork belly, seafood, sushi, hot pot, and hot food selections. Everything was so good! We enjoyed so much meat, I was happy to see how much different selections they offer. They also offer unique items such as wagyu burgers, lobster rolls, and corned cheese to grill. Not to mention a selection of fried foods, noodles, curry, and dumplings! The place gets busy! We came at 6 on a Saturday night, and there was already a lengthy waitlist. It went by quicker than expected. They have a 90 minute policy, so the wait goes pretty quick. We came to celebrate a friend's birthday and they really delivered on serenading her! We will never forget the great experience here. I wish we caught our server's name, but he is the one leading the song on the video. Thank you for a memorable celebration! read more

Thomas was an excellent server. Very attentive and always had a smile on. Def was the highlight of our visit! I'm not sure if the meat is truly "Wagyu quality" but it was solid to me. They also had other good side dishes. Flame is a bit low so be sure to ask server to remove the cover so the meat cooks a bit faster. Overall a good/fun experience! read more

Thomas is the goat. Sauce was like as good as Tre if you know you know. Best service, great guy, super funny.

Had an awesome experience at Wagyu Factory today during late lunch. The wait was super reasonable, about 15 minutes as a walk up, and I liked how easy it was to check in on Yelp ahead of time. The food selection is really solid across the board. From veggies and meats to snacks and soups and stews, everything was fresh and hit the spot. If you're looking for something similar to Chubby Cattle but without the chaos and at a great price for Wagyu, this is definitely the move. I also want to give a huge shoutout to our server Tri. Even though it's a self serve style restaurant, he stayed on top of everything, constantly changing out our grill and making sure we were good the entire time. He even made a custom spicy sauce for me that took everything to the next level. It's his own secret recipe, so I guess we've got a great reason to come back. I'd also recommend joining their club membership too. After just a couple visits, the amount we've saved already paid for it. Definitely coming back. read more

Wagyu Factory - Tri secret spicy sauce #BOMBSAUCE - Barbeque Near Me - Brea, California

This is kinda like Chubby Cattle, self-serve style with about half the menu. It's a little cheaper than CC. M-F, it's 49.99 for dinner and $6 cheaper for Chubby Plus members. The nice thing is, you don't have to waste time scrolling through a menu screen and waiting for the food but you do have to get it yourself. It is still a time 90 minute limit. While it doesn't give the same amount of meat/protein options as CC, it has enough. It has some additional things like Wagyu stew, Wagyu tomato, udon noodles and a fried/snack bar along with lobster and shrimp dumplings. The side food items are okay, nothing great. They also have about a dozen sushi and roll options and lobster rolls and Wagyu sliders. Personally I'd stick to the meats. They have plenty of protein options including meats, chicken wings, squid, and shrimp. They also have a vegetable bar with mushrooms, zucchini, kim chi, seaweed, etc. Drinks are included but they only have soda fountains drinks, cold and hot water and they don't have an extensive dessert selection. They only have egg custard (don tot) and vanilla/chocolate cake rolls. If you have a smaller table of 2 or 3, you might share a larger table with another party. You'll have your own grill though. Servers were friendly and on a side note if you want to tip extra, give it to the busboys. TBH, I think they do the lion share of the work. read more

Noticed some changes at the restaurant, like the tablet to order meats at the table instead of the self serve like I was used to.. while it was a different experience our server Stanley made everything worth while! He was very nice and attentive, and showed us how to order on the new tablet system. As always, meats & sushi were soooo delicious!! read more

First visit and will be back! Food was great, Short ribs were my favorite! Thomas was fantastic!

Compared to other Chubby Group restaurants, I think this one is more affordable and still has those quality meats. The weekday lunch is $39.99 per person and it had wagyu meat cuts, like rib fingers, brisket and other meats like pork, shrimp, and veggies. When we went there, the sushi and some side dishes were running low but still had a great experience. I do wish they fill up the plates a bit quicker because I never got to try the lobster dumplings, they never filled it up. One of the main side dishes, wagyu burger was so so good, sushi was fresh and I like the desserts. I had egg tart and cake rolls that were so soft and not too sweet. The servers were so nice and they were even cooking the meat for us. read more

Had dinner with my girlfriend at the newly opened wagyu factory in downtown brea. Wagyu factory is part of the chubby group of restaurants which have various menu options at different locations. Walk in only for the time being. The wait was expected to be 44 to 59 minutes when we arrived just before 6 on a Friday evening. We were seated in under half an hour. Elvis was our server, he was terrific, guiding us through the experience and even cooked the first round for us. Elvis was attentive without being intrusive. He took excellent care of us throughout dinner. Encouraged my girlfriend to download the chubby app to start earning points on tonight's dinner. Lots of wagyu meat offerings, sushi rolls and nigiri. shrimp, chicken, pork, and veggies as well. It's AYCE so go back as many times as you want within the 90 minutes. We'll definitely return, good food fantastic service from Elvis, and reasonable prices. read more

My bf and I saw the sign that they were going to open something that looked like kbbq and have been anxiously waiting for it to open since we miss Gyu kaku being here. They have a very modern and unique ambiance which is family friendly but also like a bar vibe. It is loud and it can be crowded as most kbbqs. For the food, let me start by saying that it is not the best meat quality, for sure not Wagyu. Some meats were gamey specially the Australian lean meat there meats were on the tougher side. We definitely didn't like the soup dumplings. I only ate one. They were just not what i expected and the flavour not my type. On the flip side, the hot bar was really good! Takoyaki, lobster dumpling, fried rice, the sushi was good with seared salmon, and the veggie shumai were some of our favorites. For the meats they did have some that were ok, but wouldn't come back just for the meats. I think this is a fun place that has a wide variety of food options. For the price, it is ok but if you want better kbbq you can find in that same price range. read more

Came to Wagyu Factory to try the Chubby Groups more affordable restaurant. For lunch it is $40 but $35 if you are a member. Everything here is self service so once you sit down you can go check out their hot bar, meats, sushi, dessert and drink selections. They had about 10 options for the hot bar, 20 yakiniku options and 10 options for their sushi. I mainly tried their different cuts of beef. I did prefer their thinner cuts such as the beef tongue and short ribs. They were tender if you don't grill them for too long. The thicker and bigger pieces of meat were on the chewier side. But this isn't Chubby Cattle and you get what you paid for. It is still good but I also can't compare it to their big brother. The sushi here was good. They were constantly making new rolls and nigiri because people kept on getting plates of sushi. The salmon was fresh and buttery. The tofu pocket sushi had lots of tuna on top and was my favorite out of everything. The wagyu burger was another on my favorite. The patty was juicy and the spread inside was oozing out. They had the same burger at Wagyu Master that I enjoyed last time as well. Our server came around every so often to change the wired grill and pull the plates. They have a 100 minute dining experience so it was just the right amount of time. They are located in downtown Brea so if you cross the street there is a nice area to walk around after your meal. read more
