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

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.

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. Our server, Stanley was awesome. He was patient answering our questions and was very quick to help us. Love this place!!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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

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.

Great restaurant to eat in. Great cook your own meats. Fun, clean restaurant, great service all of the beyond.

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.

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.

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!

TLDR: Great quality for the price, buffet style self serve Japanese BBQ, great service and staff. This new Wagyu Factory focuses on BBQ. We have only been to the hot pot location in Tustin, and this one is very similar. It is laid out in a self serve buffet style with a good variety of different cuts of meat, seafood, and sides. Drinks are from a self serve Pepsi fountain. The food selection includes fried snacks, ready to eat mains, soups and stews, a rice machine, mini lobster rolls and tacos, wagyu meats, other meats, cold sides with a sauce bar, rolls and sushi, and a small dim sum section. Desserts include egg tarts and a soft serve machine with chocolate and vanilla flavors. At the time of our dinner visit, everything was very fresh, the meat quality was fantastic, and the sides were hot and fresh. The interior is nicely decorated with an industrial theme that matches the Wagyu Factory name. While some hiccups were expected since they just opened, we did not experience any issues. Our server, Alex H. was very nice and helpful with suggestions on cuts of meat and sauces. I asked him if the cheese corn was good, and he said feedback had been mixed so far. I tried it and he was correct. The cheese corn was too sweet for my taste since it uses a salad dressing base instead of mayo. They might change the recipe in the future. For the current pricing, I believe this place offers great value compared to competitors in a similar price range, especially with the wagyu offerings. read more

Shoutout Audric for the amazing service! Food was great, chubby group never disappoints. Only note was the egg tarts didn't refill for a while and my time was ending soon so didn't end up getting to try those. Ambiance is nice, great locations. Only notes here are the space where the pillar is and next to the rice machine can get crowded and force you to walk further than expected. Also, would be nice for the rice bowls to actually be next to the rice machine because it's confusing the first time you encounter that machine. Otherwise, great new restaurant in Brea! read more

I just visited Wagyu Factory and I have to say I am VERY DISAPPOINTED! First off the only good thing about this place is the service. The nicest people and always making sure you have everything. This is a disgrace to the chubby group brand. I would never back again. I been to chubby cattle in Rowland heights and Cerritos. They have been amazing! But this brea location I would say do not renew your lease and find a better location and redo it all. Food quality is not great doing self serve because it's a lot of cross contamination meat. You have shellfish near chicken and beef!!!! What happens if the same tong are use for both meats. You have a lawsuit against the chubby group. The miso soup is Luke warm. It definitely could get people sick. Even the sushi is bad using same tongs. I like chubby cattle cause you order it they bring it out. So the risk of cross contamination is far less. One thing they messed up on is on the website, under the bbq and shabu tab, brea location is listed. That is misleading and could get sued for it. If I know this was the case, I would have left five minutes after I sat down. Ask for refund. I am not going to tell my family and friends to go here and tell them to tell their friends and family not to come here. Only go to Chubby cattle read more

Since being a member of the Chubby Cattle club, we decided to try the different offerings. The meat selection and taste was great. The service was great. With that said, would love to see improvements to the following: 1. Need to serve alcohol 2. The hot foods variety was good but you can tell it sat out for a bit longer than it needed to. The fried rice was dry, the lobster roll was eh, and the burger was ok was hoping it would have been replenished with a new batch while we were there but it wasn't. 3. Sushi nigiri area - needs to look fresher, especially when it comes to raw fish. I know you go for the meats but if you're going to offer other items, should be up to the same standards. We will continue our exploration of the Chubby world. I would still recommend checking this place out. read more

Tried Waygu Factory recently. The beef quality was pretty good and the meat was tender with nice flavor. Portions were fair and presentation was decent. The ambiance was modern but a bit busy, and service felt average -- not bad, just not very attentive. For the price, I expected a slightly better overall experience. Overall, a solid spot for wagyu, but not quite memorable enough to stand out. read more

My husband and I went around 5 pm on a Sunday night and it was the right time to go before it got busy. It's a self serve ayce kbbq place with some sushi, some hot dishes, and soups/curry. However, when we got seated and got up to get meat, they were all out of meat. We waited maybe 5-10 minutes while for them to refill it but once they did, it wasn't too hard to get meat. If you've gone to any of the other chubby restaurants the meat quality is pretty much the same: above average, worth the price. However, there's some small things that I didn't like that made my experience just ok. They have rice on a rice dispenser and it broke down before we could get a second helping. They did have fried rice prepared so it was kinda ok but I think the rice dispenser is just too gimmicky and faulty. The space itself also is a tad too small and I would not take my small kids here. To be honest the biggest redeeming factor was their service. All the waiters were very attentive. Ours specifically was Tri and he was top notch. He cut out meats, helped cook our food, and even made us his special secret sauce. I believe he works Tuesdays through Sundays so if you have him as a server, ask for his special secret sauce. It was the right amount of spice (as someone that just enjoys just above mild), umami, and sesame. It paired well with everything. Overall if I'm looking for a date night and want good quality meat for kbbq near me, I would come here again. And hopefully, Tri is working at that time so he can make me the sauce haha read more

This place was incredible! The food: tasty, all you can eat self serve and constant being brought out for a variety of meat options, 10 out of 10. But the service 20 out of 10! This was our first time here and initially we had no clue what we weee doing, I think we had a female server but we didn't find out until this amazing young server, Stanley, came over to inform us he would be take over for our server who'd left early. When someone speaks about great service you can bet your money this guy was THAT guy.

Stopped by Wagyu Factory in Brea during their soft opening and had a great experience overall. The meat selection was impressive, with lots of options to choose from. Just a heads up--they do have a food waste policy, so don't eat with your eyes (haha). Since it was the soft opening, the hot pot option wasn't available yet, but they had a wide variety of sides and snacks. My only complaint was that some of the fried items were a bit hard from sitting out, so it would be great if those were served fresh to order. Our server Elvis was phenomenal--he showed us the layout and recommended the lobster dumplings, which were definitely the move (best when fresh!). Looking forward to coming back once everything is fully up and running. read more

First time at this location. A little different concept since its buffet style even the meat. Every cut was fresh and proper refrigerated. Marcus was very attentive and funny. Always check-in and offer to bring stuff for us when the little fridge for the mini burgers and lobster rolls was not working. Overall, very enjoyable meal. Don't forget to become a member to save at every Chubby branch since they just pop up everywhere now lol! read more

All the cuts I tried were delicious and very tender. The finger meats were probably my favorite. There was a nice selection of sides, hot foods, and appetizers as well, but I tried not to indulge on those and mainly focused on tasting as many of the cuts as I could. Food is pretty on par with most Chubby group locations and standards. Beware that weekends will have quite a bit of a wait. I came in as a party of 2 at 6:40 pm and did not get seated until a little past 8:00 pm. I did notice some larger groups who were on the waitlist after us were seated before us, which I can understand from an optimization standpoint, but still not something that's enjoyable to witness after over an hour wait. This location is very tight on space. Layout can feel cramped and awkward during the busier hours and the meats are difficult to grab because of that. This is perfect for groups that want a social setting, but if your goal is to eat for the whole 90 minutes, you will spend the majority of it waiting for more meat to come out. All that being said, what redeemed this review was our server. Tri was energetic, funny, and really changed our hangry mood into a more enjoyable atmosphere. He even personalized a dipping sauce for me, and checked in with us with some light conversation during the waits between the meat refills. He really turned around our experience and made the overall experience better than how it started. read more

Don't show up any later than around 8:30... I've been denied my spot in line bc the stopped seating.. Very upsetting but I kept coming back because I really wanted to try this place. After finally making it in I will say, Very good food! Lots of options to choose from. Very different from any other kbbq I've been to. Service was a bit underwhelming. Felt like I was being served by robots with no personality or genuine emotion. Made the experience feel a bit off. Also it's very packed in there. Hard to walk around.

I am a little confused on children's pricing and would love clarification. Do children only qualify based on certain height requirements? That seems unfair and discriminatory towards taller children.

How is the king crab cooked? Also, is it on the buffet area or you order in the ipad? And is it extra charge?

You cook everything at your table grill like a kbbq. The sushi, rice, noodles and burgers are cooked as part of the buffet. Everything else is cooked by you at the table

I ordered the chicken plate since I don't eat mammals, and it was flavorful, juicy, and cooked perfectly. My partner ordered the large beef rib. At first, he was surprised because the meat was served off the bone instead of on it, but after the first bite, that didn't matter anymore. The flavor was rich, the meat was incredibly tender, and it quickly became one of the highlights of the meal. One thing you shouldn't skip is trying the different BBQ sauces.

And then came the fresh-baked cookies... way better than Crumbl. I said what I said. I also really liked seeing the note from the owners, Steve and Tammy. They explain that they smoke their meats for 16 hours, make their sides, sauces and desserts from scratch, and don't use preservatives, additives, fillers or nitrites. Steve even puts his own number there and asks customers to reach out with suggestions. Whether everything comes out perfect or not, you have to respect owners willing to put their name and number right there and actually ask for feedback. And shoutout to the bartender! I forgot his name, but he usually works the late afternoon/night shift. That dude is awesome. Friendly, attentive and makes you want to hang around for another beer. Then there's Connie. She's apparently a regular. If you see her, you have two options: avoid eye contact... or clear your schedule. If you love conversation, you just found your new best friend. Overall: awesome atmosphere, bomb sides, ridiculous cookies, great bartender, and owners who clearly care about what they're building. Just get that BBQ a little juicier and we're in business!

Like for this Tuesday evening we came to celebrate my bro in law n my son's bday. Duo celebration. If you look at my review from 4 years ago, 5 stars and i haven't updated since because it's usually been pretty good each time returning that there was no need to update it. But this experience we had this past week was really bad that we've decided that we likely will be stop coming to our local Lucille's. Read other reviews on here that aren't left a while back and looks like they've also mention how Lucille's quality along as service has gone down tremendously a lot. When we were seated, we didn't get any assistance from a server til 10 mins plus. We had to ask the associate that was wiping down tables if he was covering our area to get some assistance. He informed us that our server should be right over. Our fountain drinks that we ordered Sprite, Dr Pepper and sweet tea tasted off. There was barely any carbonation nor did the sweet tea had any sweetening to the tea we loved here. We informed our server and she told the manager gal. The manager came and spoke to us 5 mins later and confirmed to us she noticed the fountain drinks were off and was having an associate replace the fountain drinks machine but meanwhile offered if we can get another drink in the time being without no charge so we may enjoy something with our meals. We took the offer n got a strawberry lemonade along w a peach lemonade also while waiting for the replacement soda. My kids weren't too much of a fan of lemonade but tried their best to enjoy the lemonade. About 20 mins to half n hour later. The manager did see us and came back to ask how our replacement soda tasted and we informed her we never got our replacement soda. She let an associate know and we finally got our replacement soda. But by then, we were about done w our meals and was pretty full. Ask an associate that is now no longer our original server but a server that was just bringing our food and drinks to us. A to go cup so we can just take our replacement soda to go. We never got out to go cup. Either they were short staffed that evening or associates just wasn't happy being there. Because when we asked for Togo containers too. It took some time to get it. Please Lucille's management, if you see this review. Look into your staffs. The restaurant is clean it's just there are some etiquettes that need to be going over. A BIG HUGE READ FLAG. Why would an associate be SWEEPING RIGHT NEXT TO A TABLE THAT IS CURRENTLY TRYING TO ENJOY THEIR DINNER. Where do you think sweeping the floor. The dust particles up in the air would go to. It'll be flying around where we are digesting our food. This is something no one would enjoy seeing when eating. Not sure if the associate didn't have a clue regards to this. ITS POOR HYGIENE for a restaurant industry. I was feeling under the weather along there was no upper management nor much associate to even let them know what we were dealing with. With all of the ordeal and mishap. If you look at my review b4 this. We've got a complimentary bday celebration dessert but this time. We just wanted to be done. Didn't even bother doing our annual bday celebration there that my son enjoys with his uncle for their bday celebration tradition. We still left a 16% tip because we know how things are with possibly server just being low staffed. Because we saw our original server Alyssa at the end b4 leaving the restaurant. She was able to give us a set of Togo boxes. Told us she apologized she couldn't continue serving us because she had a bigger party of 15 to attend to. That would've been great to know b4 she left our table to serve the other table so we weren't turning our head constantly trying to find any service from anyone. We just decided to pay on the tablet. By than didn't want to deal with anyone and wanted to leave asap. Since that was the only service that can help us pay for our bill. Please LUCILLES...DO BETTER!

About twice a year is all I need to meet my smoked meat hankering. This place is great for when I'm in the mood for BBQ, but it's my go-to spot on Tuesdays for these $3 tacos. Massive tacos made with substantial handmade tortillas and protein of your choice. I usually go with the perfectly grilled and smoky shrimp, but other options include tri-tip, brisket, pork belly or pulled pork. The best part is that they griddle one side of the tortilla with queso fresco first and then flip it over to griddle the other side with the filling inside. The result is a perfectly chewy, yet sturdy vehicle with an internal layer of cheese browned into the tortilla, holding all of the goodies (protein, raw onion and cilantro) intact. Their house made salsa is more of a roasted salsa verde but works really well with the smoky meats and packs some good heat. This place goes hard on the hunger and easy on the wallet. Cheap beers on tap is a nice touch, too.

I gave…read moreReunion Kitchen 1 star across the board because the atmosphere, service, and food all fell well below expectations. The service was by far the worst part. We sat for over **20 minutes** without anyone coming to our table--not even to offer water. I eventually had to get up and ask someone to send a server over. What made it even more frustrating was watching other parties who arrived **15-20 minutes after us** receive water immediately and have their orders taken before anyone even acknowledged our table. After finally waiting another 10 minutes to receive our water, we had to track down our server again just to place our food order because no one returned to check on us. By that point, we had been sitting long enough and were more than ready to order. To make matters worse, we ordered an appetizer of coconut shrimp about five minutes after placing our entrée order, but it never arrived. After we had already finished our meals, we asked to cancel it, only to be told that our server had never entered the order in the first place. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for the poor service. It lacked flavor and was very underwhelming. This experience was frustrating enough that I cannot recommend Reunion Kitchen. I initially wanted to believe this was simply an off day or an inexperienced server, but after hearing from two other people I know who described nearly identical experiences, it seems this may be a recurring issue. One thing that left me especially uncomfortable was seeing guests who arrived well after us receive prompt attention while our table was repeatedly overlooked. I can't say why that happened, but it certainly made us question whether we were being treated differently. I sincerely hope the restaurant looks into its service standards and ensures every guest is treated with the same level of respect and attention.

Brunos Italian Kitchen

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area…read more Your server will bring out a basket of fresh bread and it is so amazing!! I always crave it. My partner and I shared the Orecchiette alla Salsiccia (my favorite) and I had a glass of the Moscato. I ended up getting a whole bottle because their wine bottles are 50% off on Wednesdays! The restaurant isn't too big but they have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating! I prefer the indoor seating and you can actually see into the kitchen which I think is pretty cool. The service is always top tier :)

I remember how I used to come right after work before covid hit and even celebrated a few birthdays here - those were fun times! The food was good! I don't come as often anymore after I started working remotely. Glad I was able to bring my daughter here. We were quickly seated right upon check in, which was awesome because when I came here a few months ago, I had to wait over 30 minutes on a week night. The hostess who checked me in was very friendly and welcoming. Our server was friendly and checked in on our table often. However, both my daughter and I were out of iced tea but she didn't offer to assist us with getting refills. Instead, she just asked me if I needed a box, so I was thinking most likely, she was in a hurry for us to leave - I honestly think we were there for about an hour. But, I wasn't too bothered by this. I just quickly paid the bill and went next door for dessert. My daughter and I ordered the following: Carpaccio - I love Carpaccio, but unfortunately what was served to me tonight was a HUGE disappointment. The beef came stuck together and the color was a weird shade of brown. It also smelled funny. I've ordered this dish multiple times before (I've even posted a picture of this from a previous visit) so I know it shouldn't look and smell this way. Rigatoni Alfredo 2.0 - (added Chicken) - This was very good. My daughter liked this a lot. She finished everything. Pappardelle Bruno - The braised short ribs were very tender. However, the pasta tasted pretty bland. Overall, my visit today was a 6/10.

Wagyu Factory in Brea feels like a modern take on Japanese-style BBQ, built around the idea of making premium grilled meats approachable and interactive. We walked into a clean and comfortable space that works well for groups, with a self-serve layout that makes the experience feel easy and customizable. The dining room has a polished but relaxed energy, and the grill setups at each table encourage a social, hands-on approach to the meal. The highlight is definitely the selection of Wagyu and other grilled items. The meats come with a good variety of cuts and flavors, from marinated options to more classic choices, making it easy to try different styles throughout the meal. We worked through a range of cuts and found the quality consistent across the board, with the Wagyu delivering the rich, buttery texture that makes it stand out. The self-grilling format lets you control the doneness of each piece, and the marinades add flavor without masking the quality of the meat. Beyond the BBQ, the menu also includes items like sushi, dumplings, beef tongue, and sides that help round out the experience instead of making it only about the grill. The variety keeps the meal interesting and allows for different textures and flavors between rounds of grilled meat. The service also adds a lot to the atmosphere. Even with the interactive setup, the staff is attentive and helpful, especially when explaining how everything works or helping with grilling. They walked us through the ordering process and checked in regularly to make sure the grill was performing well and the table had everything we needed. The combination of quality ingredients, a relaxed environment, and friendly service makes it feel like a place where you can spend time enjoying the meal rather than rushing through it. Wagyu Factory is a great spot for group dinners, celebrations, or anyone who enjoys a hands-on dining experience. It brings together the fun of Korean-style BBQ, the quality of Wagyu, and the convenience of an all-you-can-eat format while keeping the experience polished and welcoming. The balance of premium ingredients, interactive cooking, and attentive service makes it a place that delivers on both the quality of the food and the enjoyment of the meal itself. read more

I recently visited this restaurant during their soft opening. Given the hype and 5PM opening time, we anticipated a long line and made sure to arrive right when they opened. Fortunately, we were seated within about 10 minutes, which was a great start to the evening. The interior design is modern and visually appealing, but the space itself feels quite small. The walkways are narrow, making it difficult to move around comfortably, especially since many of the tables are shared with other guests. When the restaurant fills up, it can feel cramped and somewhat chaotic. As for the food selection, it was decent but did not quite meet the high expectations I had going in. There were more sushi options and additional fried dishes compared to Chubby Cattle, which I appreciated. However, the meat selection which is the main highlight of any KBBQ experience, did not live up to the hype for me. Since the restaurant operates buffet style for food selection, guests have to get up and retrieve their own items. Unfortunately, many of the meat options ran out quickly. Several times, I went up hoping to try specific cuts, only to find they were gone within seconds. This system needs improvement, as it becomes frustrating having to constantly check for restocks especially with a 90 minute dining limit. Instead of relaxing and enjoying the meal, it felt like a race to secure the items you wanted before they disappeared. On a positive note, the service was phenomenal. The staff were attentive, quick to clear empty plates, and proactive with grill changes. I genuinely have no complaints about the service , they did an excellent job. Overall, while I'm glad I tried it during the soft opening, I left feeling somewhat disappointed. Personally, I would choose to return to Chubby Cattle instead. I had high hopes, but for me, this location still has some areas to improve. read more

I'm giving this location five stars specifically because of our server, Marcus. He was handling every table by himself on a busy night, yet he still managed to remain friendly, maintain a great attitude, check on us consistently, and make sure we were taken care of. He was running around nonstop and absolutely crushing it. His service is the main reason I would return. Unfortunately, the food service side of the experience did not match the level of service Marcus provided. The restaurant has a 90-minute dining limit, which is normally more than reasonable, but the meat was coming out very slowly. There were several times when the trays were empty, and we had to wait or ask staff multiple times for more meat to be brought out. I've visited several other Club locations, and they usually operate like a well oiled machine, with meat being replenished constantly. At this location, however, it seemed like the kitchen staff was spending more time talking in the back than monitoring and restocking the food area. We also requested more wagyu burgers but were told they were no longer making them, even though it was around 8:45pm. The food station could have also been kept cleaner and more organized throughout the evening. Without Marcus, this honestly would have been closer to a two or three star experience. I hope management recognizes how hard he worked and also addresses the food replenishment, cleanliness, and kitchen efficiency issues. Marcus deserves a lot of credit for carrying the experience and making the best of a difficult situation. I do plan on returning and giving this location another try. On my next visit, I'll base my review more heavily on the food, cleanliness, and overall operation, so I sincerely hope the experience improves and the five star rating remains deserved. read more

Where do I even begin with Wagyu Factory in Brea? This wasn't my first visit, but this experience was by far the best yet. We had a party of seven and waited no more than 15 minutes to be seated, which was already an amazing start. But what truly made this visit unforgettable was our server, Thomas. From the moment he introduced himself until the very end of our meal, his service was absolutely exceptional. He was attentive without ever being overbearing, anticipated everything we needed before we even had to ask, and made us feel like valued guests the entire time. Thomas even made us a custom dipping sauce that was hands down one of the highlights of the meal. It had the perfect smoky flavor with just the right amount of spice, and every single person at our table loved it. It's those personal touches that turn a great meal into an unforgettable experience. This wasn't our first time having Thomas either, and somehow he managed to exceed our expectations again. He has an incredible ability to make every table feel welcome, engaged, and genuinely excited to be there. He's friendly, knowledgeable, personable, and makes the entire dining experience fun and interactive. Can he be cloned? Because every Cubby Cattle restaurant deserves a Thomas. Without a doubt, he consistently provides the best service we've ever received. 100/10, every single time. Employees like Thomas are incredibly hard to find, and he deserves to be recognized for the outstanding work he does. Give this man the raise and promotion he has earned! He's the kind of employee who sets the standard for exceptional customer service, and everyone could learn a thing or two from him. We'll absolutely be back--and a big reason why is Thomas. read more

I love Wagyu Factory, last went on 02/20/26. My second time; first time with husband and sons and second time with friends. Have enjoyed it every single time, I can't wait to take my parents soon. Loved the self serve concept. We can see what we are getting and plate as much or as little as we want. Gave us a chance to truly try everything we wanted. My number one favorite is the short rib, it's just perfect. Really enjoyed the veggies on the grill as well; assorted mushrooms, zucchini, potatoes, etc. The station for sauces and side dishes are great to go along with grilled meats and veggies. I love wrapping the grilled meat with a slice of garlic, jalapeno, and kimchi. Just perfectly balanced. The assorted sushi is great too. Fresh. If I was not that into the grilled meats, I would devour the sushi! There's also a station for prepared hot foods as well, I tried the wagyu tacos with the toppings and that was really good too. The curry is also one I enjoyed this second time. Both visits, I ended my visit with French fries. Just had to. Service. Excellent. Jackson is just always so attentive, thoughtful, and welcoming. First visit, Alex helped us throughout the meal and he was so attentive. Checked on us so many times. The second time, Lionel took care of us and he was just so funny and helpful. Never a dull moment when he's around. The restaurant was really nice, clean, spacious, and welcoming. Not chaotic at all. So, see you again soon! read more

I've been wanting to check out Wagyu Factory in Brea location since they opened not too long ago and finally went with my family today. We used our Chubby Club Plus members birthday meal benefit and it was awesome. Plus members I also get an extra $5 off up to 4 people for this location, which was a nice bonus. I liked that you can just grab your own meats and stuff instead of messing with an iPad the whole time, felt more fun and hands-on. The place is super clean and they were on top of refilling everything right away. Soft drinks were free too. The sushi and rolls were pretty fresh, but I mostly went all in on the Wagyu meats. Man, they were delicious -- especially the A5 Wagyu thin cut, the short rib, and the short plate. Everything was so tender and flavorful. The curry was great as well. Our waiter Thomas was seriously the best. Super fast and attentive, and he swapped out our grills a couple times without us even asking. Total pro. I'll ask for Thomas the next time I go back. We finished up with their endless Portuguese egg tarts and that chocolate Swiss Roll -- perfect way to end the meal. Definitely recommend this spot if you're into good Wagyu and solid service. We'll be back for sure!. My Personal Rating : 4.76 Food 4.7/5 Service 5/5 Price 4.7/5 Ambiance 4.6/5 Cleanliness 4.8/5 read more

Absolutely not recommended. This was one of the worst dining experiences I've had. The restaurant advertises both BBQ and hot pot, but when we arrived, they only offered BBQ. This is very misleading, and the price was not reduced at all. We waited a long time before being seated, and when we finally got a table, the grill was broken -- only half of it was working and the other half had no heat at all, making it impossible to cook properly. After sitting for about 20 minutes, we had only managed to eat two slices of meat and some very low-quality sushi. Service was slow and the food quality was disappointing. What made us even more upset was that near the end of our time, a staff member told us we only had 20 minutes left. We thought this simply meant we could not take more food after that. However, less than 10 minutes later, a female staff member wearing glasses came over and took away all the plates we were still eating from, including food we had not finished, without any explanation. Everyone at our table was shocked. This was extremely disrespectful and unacceptable. Bad food and even worse service. We will definitely not come back and will not recommend this place to anyone. read more

I recently dined at Wagyu Factory, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The quality of the food really stands out--especially the wagyu, which was incredibly tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Every dish felt fresh and thoughtfully prepared, making it clear that the restaurant takes pride in its ingredients and presentation. What made the experience even better was the service. Our server, Tri, provided truly great service throughout the meal. He was attentive without being overwhelming, made sure our drinks were always filled, and checked in at just the right times. Tri was also knowledgeable about the menu and gave helpful recommendations that we ended up really enjoying. The atmosphere of Wagyu Factory was welcoming and comfortable, making it a great spot whether you're going out for a special occasion or just a nice dinner. Combined with the high-quality food and Tri's excellent service, the whole experience felt well worth it. Overall, Wagyu Factory is a place I would definitely recommend, and if you get Tri as your server, you're in for an even better experience. read more

I recently visited Wagyu Factory in Brea, and it was a standout experience. For a smaller venue, they've really maximized the space--the decor is interesting and they've managed to make the intimate layout work well. The absolute highlight of the night was the service. Our server, Tri, was fantastic. He was attentive, enthusiastic, and genuinely helpful throughout the meal. He gave us some expert recommendations, specifically regarding the pairing of the fresh wasabi and salt, which elevated the flavor of the meat perfectly. The quality of the food is excellent, and the pricing is very fair for the caliber of Wagyu you're getting. The only minor downside is that the space is a bit cramped, and the wait times can be significant. If you're bringing small children or have a stroller, be aware that it can be a bit of a logistical challenge. Hopefully, they'll be able to open up patio seating soon to help with the flow! Overall, it's a gem with great food and even better service. Ask for Tri! read more

First time at Wagyu Factory and it definitely did not disappoint! Luckily, there were only two of us, so the wait wasn't bad at all. From the moment we walked in, Marcus made us feel right at home. Super welcoming, great energy, and outstanding service from start to finish. He took the time to recommend dishes, explain the different meats, and made the whole experience even better. This was actually my first cheat meal in 20 weeks, so I wanted it to be worth it and wow, it absolutely was. Every bite was amazing and worth every cent. The buffet-style setup made everything quick, easy, and fun, and my wife and I ended up eating way more than we planned because it was just that good. The atmosphere was chill, cozy, and perfect for a relaxing meal. Great food, great vibes, and even better service. Huge shoutout to Marcus again for making our first visit memorable. We'll definitely be back and recommending this spot to everyone we know! read more

I had an amazing dine-in experience at Wagyu Factory today and it honestly exceeded my expectations. From the moment we were seated, the atmosphere was clean, welcoming, and perfect for enjoying high-quality wagyu.

It's rare to get service that feels both professional and personal, but Marcus nailed it. Overall, this was easily a 5/5 experience. Great food, great atmosphere, and outstanding service. I'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend asking for Marcus if you visit! read more

Had an amazing experience at Wagyu Factory on Sunday! Our Server Ethan was super friendly and really knowledgeable about the menu. His service and cooking skills was excellent Elvis, our server assistant, was also excellent. He was quick to clear plates, made sure we had enough napkins, and even made sure everything at the table was running smoothly. The teamwork between Ethan and Elvis really stood out and made the whole dining experience feel smooth and welcoming. As for the food, the Wagyu short plate was incredible, super tender, and packed with flavor. You can really taste the quality of the meat. Don't skip dessert! the egg tarts were amazing! They had a flaky crust with a creamy, slightly sweet filling that was the perfect way to end the meal. Great food and even better service. Definitely coming back! read more

(Brea location). Went here to eat because we heard some good things about the place. We all had a long day were ready to eat a ton, but we ended having a very annoying experience. We accepted last call at 10pm, the pushing of the membership and paying early. A little after last call and paying, we are pestered 3 times far before the closing time of 11pm (mentioned on google and their website btw), just because they want to leave early. We ended up leaving far before their closing. This place is already more expensive than other places and then we are treated like that? It really leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Not only are they losing us as potential regulars (we frequent asian bbq spots), but also multiple new customers like our partners, coworkers and other friends. read more

I recently stopped by Wagyu Factory and had a really solid experience. If you're a fan of high-quality beef, this place definitely delivers. The wagyu was the star of the show--super tender, rich, and cooked just right. You can really taste the difference in quality compared to regular steak. The portions were fair for the price, and everything came out fresh and nicely presented. Service was friendly and helpful. The staff took the time to answer questions about the different cuts and made some good recommendations. The vibe inside was clean and modern Prices are on the higher side, which is expected with wagyu, but overall it felt worth it for the quality. If you're looking to treat yourself to some premium beef, this spot is definitely worth checking out. read more

Overall, the food quality was impressive for its price point and we genuinely enjoyed what we were able to try. However, our experience was impacted by the pace of service. We were seated at 8:40 PM and felt rushed throughout the meal, receiving only four pieces of sushi without the opportunity to order more. Additionally, the level of service was disappointing. We had questions and would have appreciated assistance with table maintenance and restocking, but our server was largely unavailable. The only time he approached us was to encourage enrollment in a Chubby Plus membership, which felt intrusive--especially while we were still eating. While I understand the importance of upselling, the timing and approach detracted from the overall dining experience. read more

To be honest, I've had much better experiences with this group at other locations. This one just didn't live up to expectations. The service was okay--staff checked in a couple of times and were polite, but nothing stood out. The food was where things really fell short. Since it's buffet-style, it seemed like some items had been sitting out too long. The sushi wasn't fresh, and the meats didn't seem to be kept at proper temperatures. Unfortunately, both my partner and I ended up feeling pretty sick afterward. On top of that, the rice machine wasn't working properly, they only offer fountain drinks, and there was just one dessert option. For $50 per person, it just didn't feel worth it. I'd recommend trying a different location instead. read more

They were always available when needed without being intrusive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The self-serve bar was well-maintained and frequently restocked, so we never had to wait long for anything. There was also a wide variety of meat options, and the quality was solid across the board. Overall, it's definitely a place we would come back to. If anything could be improved, it would be great to see more variety in the beer, beverages, and dessert selections. read more

I had such a great experience at this BBQ spot. The food was amazing, but what really made the night stand out was our server Thomas. He was super communicative the entire time, always checking in, clearly explaining the menu, and making sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. He recommended the green onion beef tongue combo, and I am so glad we trusted him because it was really good. The beef tongue was tender, flavorful, and perfectly paired with the green onions, and it ended up being one of our favorite dishes of the night. The combination of great food and attentive service made the whole experience memorable, and we will definitely be coming back and asking for Thomas again. read more

They have a few dining tables along the edge of the restaurant, but where you wanna sit is at the bar. This is limiting for large parties and can impair your conversation hence why I give it a 4.5 out of 5. You order electronically on their iPad which they have sitting along every other seat. Staff is more than happy to help you with any other inquiries. They have a three hand rolls for $19 special and five handles for $39. Initially, thinking that this might be a small, I walked out very full after. An easy choice for hand rolls is the Salmon. They give it a generous amount and I clearly enjoyed it so much that I did not give you a picture. I had the scallop hand roll, which was very yummy. The sauce that the scallops are tossed is light and not overpowering at all. My favorite was the Unagi hand roll because they see it right in front of you. With the crunch of this seaweed and Unagi it's better than having Unagi Maki. The spicy yellowtail was given as a compliment and honestly, I was so grateful to have it. After having that dipped into yuzu soy sauce youd be amazed how satisfied you feel. For three people with no alcohol and only hand rolls it came out to about $75.

Loved that the restaurant isn't just limited to handrolls but you can also order a variety of appetizers and kushiyaki, so there's a nice range of options. The handrolls were the highlight for me. The fish tasted fresh and the seaweed wasn't soggy. Personally, I actually enjoyed these more than the handrolls at Kazunori or ROL. The only reason I'm giving 3 stars instead of a higher rating was because of something I witnessed at the grill. The cook dropped the rag they were using to wipe down the grill onto the floor, picked it back up, and then immediately used it to wipe the grill again before cooking the next batch of skewers. Aside from that incident, the food, service, and atmosphere were all great. I'd absolutely come back for the handrolls and hope the restaurant pays a little more attention to food safety practices.
