Great AYCE option for hot pot + BBQ! Wagyu Factory in Rancho Cucamonga is a great choice if you can't decide between hot pot and BBQ because you get to enjoy both! They have 20+ meat options, along with plenty of sides, so there's definitely no shortage of food. The meat quality was impressive, with plenty of visible marbling. We went with the sukiyaki broth, which had a nice mildly sweet and savory flavor. If you're a member, you can also get the A5 lean meat, which was incredibly tender and practically melted in your mouth once grilled. Our favorites were the bone-in short rib, Wagyu brisket, and miso short plate. There was so much food that I honestly lost track of how much I ate--my plate was basically never empty! Definitely save room for dessert. The Swiss rolls were soft and pillowy, while the egg tarts were flaky on the outside with a delicious custard filling. Overall, this is a fun spot for a big group, especially if everyone wants different things. If you're in the Rancho Cucamonga area and looking for an AYCE hot pot and BBQ experience, I'd definitely give Wagyu Factory a try! read more

Wagyu Factory - Barbeque Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

I've been to a few of their other locations before, but I wanted to try this one since they offer both shabu and BBQ! I decided to stick with the BBQ this time, and overall, I had a really good experience. The quality of the meat was great, and the portions were good, especially for the price you're paying for AYCE. Everything tasted fresh, and we were able to order a good amount without feeling like the portions were too small. The service was also great and attentive throughout our meal. I definitely like that this location gives you the option between shabu and BBQ depending on what you're craving. I stuck with BBQ this time, but I wouldn't mind coming back and trying the shabu next! read more

arrived a little after 12pm. A few people were dining. I waited about 15 minutes to be seated. No one came to seat me. So i left. Am i missing something? About 8 employees walked by me without saying anything to me. Service in the twilight zone? i should have gave zero stars read more

Extremely disappointing. Ordered through Uber Eats and received a small portion of burnt, hard, dry beef that tasted stale. The description on Uber eats says "tender wagyu beef". Not worth the price and honestly the worst thing I've ordered for delivery. Should be a $5 bento but even then I'd never order it. read more

Expected Rancho Cucamonga to hit like the Brea location. Absolute nope. Walked in and stood there for 10-15 minutes watching the entire staff hold a damn meeting in the middle of the restaurant. Some empty tables and somehow we were completely invisible. Once we finally got sat, the service stayed slow and forgetful. Had to ask multiple times (and multiple different people) for the same basic things. Meat selection was limited and the quality wasn't even close to Brea. Then there's the hot pot setup, which makes zero sense. You have to decide the second you sit down if you want it. Once you do, it eats half the grill so you're left with like seven square inches to actually cook the meat you came for. Why can't you just add it later? Who designed this nonsense? Came for wagyu. Left underwhelmed. read more

Wagyu Factory was delicious!! My family went there for my birthday dinner and were definitely not disappointed! My parents don't typically eat at these Korean/Japanese BBQ restaurants like I do, so our server, Alvin, massively helped them understand how to order, how to cook the meats, and the ordering/ time limit rules. Him being attentive and charismatic made our overall experience worthwhile. We ordered... Chuck Ribeye Pork Belly Wagyu Brisket Miso Short Plate A5 Wagyu Steak (FREE with Chubby Club App) Kung Pao Chicken & Rice Nice portion size of rice and vegetables, I liked how the chicken had a slight kick to it. Shrimp Tempura Nice, crispy, & good shrimp flavor with a sweet mayo drizzle! Lobster Dumpling Tasty, chewy, & good lobster flavor. Portuguese Egg Tart Flaky, creamy, & nice custard texture. My mom thought it was so good, she had two! Cheesy Corn My parents had this one and thought it pretty good. Special Salt & Red Spices SO GOOD. Added it to the meats and they elevated the flavor! Garden Salad Lettuce with thousand island-like dressing, as expected! read more

We came here on a Monday around 2pm. There was no wait and a few tables were taken. The service was good, both our server and the runners were friendly. The selection during lunch was good as well, not too much and not too little. My kids enjoyed this Wagyu Factory in Rancho. My only issue is that the bathroom was that the bathroom wasn't as clean. And when you have young children it makes things difficult. read more

Another good experience at another chubby group location. Positives: -service was very good and our server Christie was very helpful. She answered all of our questions and made sure we got everything we asked for. -food selection was very good. I like that there's only 1 tier and it's cheaper than chubby cattle of the weekdays. Negatives: -the ambience was kinda like a night club. Very dark with loud music. I can see how some people might not like it. That's the only thing I didn't like from this experience. Overall 5/5 I'll be coming back again for sure read more

Unfortunately, as of September 1st 2026, this location no longer serves halal meat options. This is a shame as we drove a fairly long distance to re-visit this location, as it's one of the only AYCE hotpot's in the area of Rancho. We will likely no longer return until things change. That being said, the staff, service and food are great here, very welcoming and pleasant environment. read more

If you have been to Chubby Cattle and like Chubby Cattle, you'll like Wagyu Factory. The parking is on the other side and the door is street facing. Dont let the black painted windows fool you. They are open! Go ahead and just pull on the door. The meat cuts were very good. The side options are good also. The quality of the food is there. I realize that Japanese yakiniku is v different from KBBQ but I dont like being timed to eat! I just feel a lot of pressure with the 70 min ordering windows and the 90 min eating window. I guess besides that, I love the place! The meats can either be marinanted or not which is cool for folks who dont like sauce on the meat. The food tastes good!! I debated the membership. We didn't end up getting it. I thought too much about being on a timer and it tipped my decision to skip the membership. But I'll likely be back to enjoy that quality tasting meat. read more

First time dining at Wagyu Factory, and as a Chubby Group member, I had to check it out. I'm not sure when they officially opened, but from the outside it looks like they took over an older building. Once you walk in, though, you immediately get that familiar Chubby Group restaurant vibe. The space is on the smaller side, and I didn't notice a salad or side dish bar. We were seated right away, but our table for four felt a bit small and slightly cramped. The menu looked decent, and the member pricing was reasonable. Service was excellent. The servers and bussers were very attentive and stayed on top of everything. The food came out quickly, and the meat was delicious, juicy, flavorful, and the marinade is perfect and not overpowering. The sides were great as well. I also appreciated the ventilation system; the exhaust worked really well, and we didn't leave smelling like smoke. The only downside for me was the tablet ordering system. It was a bit frustrating to use, so I ended up ordering directly from our server instead, who was more than happy to help. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and would definitely come back. read more

The cons: No draft beer and limited options of beer. no rice paper available. The meat was very thin and not of expected quality, ordering is done on a tablet that's timed. Would not recommend for the price and not sure why it's rated so high. Don't really remember anything great from my experience read more

THANK YOU MARCO! We had a really great experience at Wagyu Factory, Mainly thanks to our server Marco. He was THE BEST! He was awesome, super friendly and patient. We probably bugged him too many times for dropped chopsticks, iPad was shut down twice, needed more water, more cheese corn etc.. but he never once seemed annoyed. Always come back with a smile and conversation. The food itself was great, but the grill was SLOW! I think this restaurant is meant for smaller groups. For a group of 6 we only get one grill and it takes time. The heat pan doesn't heat up even. I was also a little surprised by how limited the wagyu options were. Overall, solid food! Get the yuzu short plate, cheese corn and dessert! read more

Marco our server was amazing . Fast and friendly service.we haven't been back since the opening and I'm happy to see they've added the hotpot to their ayce wagyu bbq. We got the sukiyaki broth, added the hotpot veggies and topped it with delicious Wagyu. If you haven't been here or it's been a while I need yall to come through! Make sure you guys ask for Marco. read more

3 stars for food 5 stars for staff/service I thought food here was decent but I far more appreciate the amazing service we experienced. All of our servers were so great, attentive, and personable. They definitely made us feel taken care of. In terms of food, I thought the meat quality was pretty good. My only gripe with this spot is they do not have as many non meat options. Among many other things, they do not have rice paper so I felt that was a miss and they did not have tofu which I think is a necessary hotpot ingredient. Making the experience very beef heavy and one note. However, we really enjoyed the tomato broth and would get that again. It does make the grilling area very small though but worth it in my opinion read more

Wagyu Factory - Barbeque Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

What a place! Truly enjoyed every minute here thanks to the team! We had the best servers come by and the best team make sure we were well taken care of. Top notch service here truly made our night. Holiday feasting can't get any better than this place. Loved the selections and truly couldn't stop eating. We choose the regular set menu which was plenty for a group of 3. It includes amazing meat choices and seafood plus plenty of appetizers to choose from. You can select a menu and then have ayce of those meats available in that set. You have also the choice of vegetables and can get all the appetizers you want. I loved the dessert the most actually haha plenty of ice cream flavors to choose from. I had strawberry and vanilla which was such a nice combo. We'll be back to try all the different broths. I loved our sukiyaki but since the pot is divided you can get two broths which we didn't do this last time and just had two sides with the same broth. Take advantage of the variety right!? Bring your friends family and anyone who loves hot pot. It's got great vibes food and staff! Thanks for making my holiday meal something so memorable!! read more

Been there twice Price is not exactly affordable but considering they offer waygu it's not bad. Not every beef on their menu are waygu and the ones that are, come with an additional price tag. They have a membership system which the servers will try to sell, unless you're going to dine multiple times through the year, it's not necessary but you do get perks like birthday meal, discounted prices, etc They recently came out with their hotpot option, not the best. Will probably stick with bbq next time. It's a free option at least for dinner, and it was fun to try. Soup base was extremely bland. We tried the Hokkaido seafood broth, can't recommend. read more

The Wagyu Factory was a great experience for our first visit. It's a different kind of experience compared to Gyu-Kaku or traditional Korean BBQ, which we really enjoyed. You order everything directly from an iPad, which made it easy and efficient. The meats were excellent quality....really flavorful and well-prepared. Honestly, the only downside was the drinks. I wish they carried Coke products instead of Pepsi, and from a fountain rather than cans. That said, it's a very minor complaint because everything else was amazing. We'll definitely be coming back again. read more

We came in on a Sunday night and waited about 45 minutes. The server was well trained and explained everything clearly, which we appreciated. We have been to Chubby Cattle a few times before, so we are already familiar with the concept. I have seen some reviews comparing this location to other restaurants in the Chubby group, which does not feel entirely fair since the pricing here is lower, so expectations should be adjusted accordingly. We decided to do the half hotpot and BBQ option, but honestly it was not the best choice. The hotpot ran way too hot, while the grill did not seem to get enough heat. Some of the appetizers were good, others were just okay. Service was decent but a bit inconsistent. No one checked on us very often, and the iPad froze at times, which made it hard to get assistance. Overall, we would probably only come back if it is convenient, but we would not go out of our way. read more

Wagyu Factory - Octopus dumplings were so good. Try it!!! - Barbeque Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

First off, this location was definitely a letdown compared to the Brea one. It's not buffet, this spot is AYCE where you order through a kiosk and the food is brought out to you. The space is really small, and waiting outside in the cold was not a great experience--having heaters for customers would've made a big difference. That said, our server Francis was informative and attentive. The menu, felt limited. The brisket and beef tongue came out chewy and tough, which was disappointing. Honestly, don't believe all the hype from social media influencers.... They offer both hot pot and Korean BBQ, but it seemed like hardly anyone was doing hot pot. Even our server suggested skipping it due to the lack of vegetable variety. At that point, they might as well just focus on AYCE instead. Overall, I've been to a few Chubby Cattle locations, and this one was by far the worst. On top of everything, we also felt rushed because of the time limit. I've been to Niku and Wagyu Masters which is more expensive but at least they don't rush us. read more

I don't think the food is worth its value unless you come weekday m-f when it's cheaper. It's very disappointing paying close to $50 pp and there's no hot pot available, some of the few items they actually do have are out of stock, the sides look and taste like they came out of the 99 ranch deli section or frozen aisle, and the soups you settled for since they don't have hot pot come out cold. We told them, it took 20 min for new soup to come out, and it was still cold! LOL. The meat is good. Best was the tongue for me and I'm already obsessed with Chinese bbq seasoning so I was happy to see that on the table. Everything else was an afterthought besides the bibimbap. That was actually pretty good. It was buttery....and hot...unlike our other sides (dumplings were cold too). You can order things with your server if the order clock is still counting down but you're ready for more items. Ours was nice. I understand all the chubby concepts are different, but I'm comparing this wagyu factory specifically to the wagyu factory in Tustin that opened around the same time as this one, has the same prices as this one, but has everything this one promised to offer and doesn't. They need to tear the hotpot sign down. I don't think they ever plan on serving hotpot. The restaurant is tiny and they're already using the hot pot self serve station as a server station. I like the nightclub/neon city look but the walls and everything painted black kinda feels claustrophobic and makes the space seem even smaller for some reason. Pretty disappointed. Reality did not meet expectations. I already suspected it might not be as good as the reviews say when I noticed most of the reviews mention servers by names and are very short. That usually tells me there's an incentive involved. Even if this one is walking distance to me, I'd rather drive to a different chubby concept and spend the same money or more for a better meal than come back. read more

Definitely a Must try ! Will be back. read more

Ambiance was very nice. We were greeted and seated within 20 minutes on the waitlist. Your whole party must all be together. You must order in intervals of like 7-9 minutes and You can only order so many items per round (you are also timed upon sitting). I forgot how long. No more than 90 mins I think. Overall the food was just OK. We ordered a few things that never came out which was irritating because it took up our item limit per round. They should have *sold out on the item if they're not going to have it. My parents complained about the price but I thought it was decent for all you could eat. I would say it's probably better to go as a couple vs a large family in terms of time and how much you can order and cook. We were a family of 5 and ordering and cooking on just one eye made it difficult to order, cook, and eat. I would recommend no more than 3 people per eye. Otherwise, service was very good. It was definitely worth the experience at least one time. read more

Wagyu Factory - Wall decor - Barbeque Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Wagyu factory broke my Japanese Bbq cherry and I'm happy it was here... My husband and I came here when they had first just opened. Like any yelper, i was scrolling down the feed when i noticed the location was in rancho. We drove out pretty late at night close to 9PM and were seated decently quick. The server explained that we place the orders through the IPad and they bring it. I will say Jbbq is very different to kbbq in the sense that the meat cuts are small and the grill kind of gets the meat cooks super quick and can get stuck if you don't cook it carefully. The cuts of meat are all good, i think the ribeye chuck is prob my favorite as well as the short ribs. But honestly it all hits! I say it's definitely a nice place to come and try and the location doesn't play super loud music so you can actually talk with the people on the table. Overall it's a good location and parking is great, i would say it a good spot to come try especially if you haven't had Jbbq before! read more

(4/5) My first visit to Wagyu Factory in Rancho Cucamonga was a good overall experience. For the Inland Empire, I think the price is fair, especially considering the quality of the beef. The concept feels similar to an AYCE Korean BBQ restaurant, but with fewer menu choices. That said, the smaller selection seems intentional because the beef quality is definitely a step above your typical AYCE spot. The meats were fresh, flavorful, and worth coming back for. The customer service was excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. One thing to note is that drinks are not all-you-can-drink, so they are an additional charge. Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment came at the very end of our visit. I used the restroom before leaving, and it was honestly disgusting. The toilet seat cover dispenser was overflowing with used paper, and the floor was wet and dirty. Thankfully, this happened after we finished eating, but it definitely left a poor final impression. Overall, I'd return for the high-quality beef and great service, but I hope management pays more attention to restroom cleanliness because it should match the quality of the dining experience. read more

Positives: Easy to find, great parking, clean interior, staff was friendly and accommodating, and quality of meat was great. Negatives: 90 minutes time limit, iPad froze multiple times throughout the meal, about one third of the items pictured were not available. Lack of variety. Come in with a game plan if you want to maximize your experience! Maybe it's because as an experienced KBBQ diner, I haven't had to plot and plan how to get my money's worth at an AYCE in decades and did not prepare myself for the challenge but overall for $50 pp, I enjoyed this meal less than a regular $35 KBBQ experience. You have 90 minutes for your entire meal and you can only order 8 items max at a time, and you can only order once every 7 minutes. Last call is at 70 minutes. If you do the math that means you can only place an order 10 times. Take into account that side dishes like their soup and hot stone bibimbap, appetizers, banchan are included in that 8 item limit, where in other places they only count the proteins. About half of the side dishes were not available and we had to ask our server to restart our iPad 3 times. Those delays ate into our ordering time. That said, instead of enjoying the food, we were in a race against the clock. We were balancing our time looking at the clock and watching the meat so it didn't burn and we were only kinda successful. Idk if anyone likes charred Wagyu because that wasn't pleasant. I understand the establishment is trying to limit food waste from over-ordering but the truth was we ended up ordering extra and not finishing because we had it in mind to order every 7 minutes on the dot instead of just ordering when we were ready for more. Also if you have a large group it is inconvenient because you'll either have to split up your party or it would be one long table and only 1 grill. That and the 8 item max per order, you wouldn't be able to order enough in time to satisfy your party. I think this is a restaurant where if 2-4 ppl were eating, it would be ok but any more like our party would probably experience a less desirable situation. If you do come here, be ready for the restrictions and have a designated person to order while one or two others cook, and have one person watch the clock for you. If you get that choreography down, you'll have a better time than me and my family for sure. Chalk it up to our inexperience. At least the staff from the servers to the bussers were really pleasant! read more
