Chubby Cattle BBQ | Rowland Heights

This is my fourth time dining here, and it’s always such a pleasant experience! I’ve tried other BBQ places a few times, but I always end up saying, “It’s good, but Chubby Cattle is better,” haha. I noticed a few changes this time: 1. The service felt even warmer—already great before, but this time it was extra friendly. 2. There were new desserts like egg tarts and mochi! Since I came with a stroller, thank you so much for giving us a corner table even before I asked. Today is my wedding anniversary with my husband, and I’d like to thank our server, Sisi, and the whole team for such a lovely service. P.S. The milk tea here is AMAZING! We’ll definitely be back!

This place is one of our go-to spots, and it always delivers quality food and service. Our server Ken was awesome! Super respectful and answered every question we had or fulfilled every request we made. Thanks again for the great experience!

Our party of three went during lunch time and were seated immediately, but they have arcades to kill time if you have to wait. Our server was professional and patient, he explained the menu, the timing and all the stations perfectly. He was always around and empty plates were removed almost right away, Everyone was courteous and patient enough to explain the dishes and make suggestions. The food quality was excellent, real Miyazaki A5 wagyu among other things. Our favorite was the beef tougne, A5 short rib, A5 ribeye and wagyu nigiri. Their milk tea was surprisingly decent too. The bill comes out to about $100 per person as expected, no surprises. This is some of the best service and best food in LA well worth the price, we will definitely be back.

Best wagyu experience you could have with real a5 wagyu! Even the cheapest course will be amazing. Only the most premium options like the a5 wagyu otoro, a5 Miyazaki wagyu short rib, a5 Miyazaki ribeye, wagyu uni caviar nigiri, scallop sashimi with uni and caviar, and full blood wagyu are locked behind a more expensive course and are more limited. There's plenty of other wagyu on the rest of menu that is AYCE, including a5 wagyu. The meat of course is the best quality; delicious, and melt in your mouth tender. The sauces and drinks are self serve and there are desserts and slushies. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful, atmospheric and clean, and the service is excellent.

Been here a few times and each time, the food and service have been superb! This time, we came back for a birthday dinner and Wesley took great care of us. He went above and beyond to make sure our group enjoyed the food and was always checking in with us! The Chubby Group always provides a unique experience and the staff are always wonderfully helpful and attentive! PS: make sure to make reservations ahead of time. Wait times can get extremely long, especially during weekends and holidays.

Amazing customer Service by my server, Ken! He made the experience five stars and made us all feel like VIP customers. Food was amazing! Delicious and made to order. Would highly recommend this place!!!! Management give Ken a raise!!! He deserves it!!!!! He’s the best server you have!!!

I stopped by based on the reviews, though it seems the negative ones may have been filtered out meaning actual score is up to debate. The restaurant offers three tiers: **$55 Silver**, **$75 Gold**, and **$85 Diamond**, with the Silver tier being the best value. It’s located in a busy, predominantly Asian plaza with a few shops you can walk around to help “walk off” the all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ. Parking, however, is very limited depending on the time. Once inside, you’re greeted by a mostly clean dining area and a playlist that feels straight out of Six Flags. Interestingly, they also have simple arcade machines to keep you occupied if your table isn’t ready. There’s a **90-minute dine-in limit** and a **70-minute ordering limit**. The tables were clean and the service was friendly, but not very efficient. You grab your own drinks and order through a tablet—and remember that time limit? The tablet also restricts how much and how frequently you can order. My grill went out a few times, which delayed the meal even more. The small dishes (kimchi, sigeumchi, flat rice cakes, etc.) are buffet-style and self-served, which isn’t ideal from a hygiene standpoint. I’d prefer they be brought directly from the kitchen whenever we run out, especially since getting them ourselves eats into our limited dining time. Our server was great, but overall service was slow and difficult to get when we needed something. Most of the food tasted good, with some items better than others. The meat quality was average—not bad, not great—and some cuts had more fat than I’d prefer. Overall, I do like the restaurant, but the numerous time constraints add up and make the experience feel rushed, especially considering I’m cooking my own food, serving myself, and ordering through a restricted tablet. They also ran out of ice cream and a few other items we wanted, which is disappointing since we’re paying for a full package that wasn’t fully available.

Made a reservation and was seated earlier than expected. Jackson, our server, was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed at all times. The food is amazing, especially the wagyu steak!

Our server Brandon was awesome! Attentive and funny! Great quality of meat! The egg tart was the best I've ever had! Will Definetely come back!

The service is very good and the staff very friendly and helpful. I like when they have so many options for desserts. Hao is very nice and friendly.

Chun H is the best in the west. Food is great. Service is excellent. The ambiance is so awesome! Will be back!

As first timers, we highly recommend this Japanese bbq place! Everything was what we wanted and more. Service: Our server was Jason Vu, he was super friendly and helpful. He explained the menu very well, we were lost and had lots of questions. Food: Their meats are genuinely great quality. The Wagyu A5 melts in your mouth. We opted for the Gold tier, which was in the middle. We were still highly satisfied with the options. I'm a sides girl and they also had a decent amount of sides offered. Their sushi was also great quality!! Ambiance: We made a reservation for 8 and they were pretty accommodating. We unfortunately couldn't stay in one big table because of another large party, but they were still able to get us 2 tables next to each other. We arrived right at opening so the wait time didn't seem long. However, once we left, the line was out the door. They had cool stuff to entertain you tho, like arcade games. So that was pretty cool! Overall, we would definitely come back for quality over quantity meat. :)

absolutely blown away with this place, more-so upset at myself for not visiting sooner. i would bring anyone here to impress, for basically any occasion. food (5/5) - went with the gold tier option and had enough room to basically try the entire menu, luckily (at a justified, but expensive, price) the quality shows universally in the food here, from the meat cuts/seafood, sauces, sides, even appetizer items like the wagyu sliders were exceptional. standout items: wagyu short rib, ribeye, otoro, wagyu uni w/caviar, beef tongue platter, roasted salmon nigiri, and even if it's just a side, the wagyu curry is amazing too. can't forget how good their milk tea is, either or ending the night with matcha mochi! service (5/5) - we were taken care of by both jason and chris, helping us order, cook, and chat it up. it made our experience feel very personable, professional, and fun really streamlining the process start to finish. ambiance (6/5?) - if possible, a dramatic over-the-top score for an impressive, beautifully designed restaurant. intricate decor and details in literally every corner and spacious booth arrangement, the walk thru wagyu freezers, the informative/interesting wall pieces explaining their processes, a free waiting room arcade, convenient self service drink and side stations, clean+moody bathrooms with private stalls i can't fathom asking for much more. truly an icon of SoCal dining.

Everything 10/10 Food was phenomenal definitely get your money's worth Place was clean, music wasn't overbearing, color scheme and setting was very aesthetically pleasing they even have arcade games Especially our server Hao kind, attentive, and so helpful !!

We came here several times already. We usually get the silver tier for $55. You ordered on a tablet and food came out pretty quickly. They offered varieties of meat selections. Also a small selections of sushi. The sauce bar has so many choices for you to dip it with your meats. Wait time was about 45 mins for a table at 5:30pm on Sat. Friendly staff. Definitely will come back again.

My husband and a close friend have been raving about Chubby Cattle for ages, so I finally let them drag me to the Diamond Plaza for a Tuesday night dinner. I usually avoid this area during peak hours because the parking and crowd can be a lot, but to my surprise, it wasn't too packed at all. We actually found a spot without the usual struggle! The restaurant itself has a really cool, modern yet oriental ambience. I loved that they have a dedicated waiting area with games to kill time, which is such a smart idea. Luckily for us (but unluckily for my competitive side), we were seated right away and didn't get to play. Where do I even start with the setup? They have everything. A full tea bar, a soda machine, an open appetizer section, desserts, and an impressive sauce bar, all on top of their main attraction: the wagyu and nigiri selection. It felt like a fun, high-quality feast. Our server was fantastic. He was really friendly, checked on us often, and was totally accommodating when I asked if we could have our meats prepared without sesame seeds. It made the experience feel really thoughtful. The food lived up to the hype. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and that variety of sauces let us customize every bite. It's the kind of meal where you're already planning your next visit before you've finished. I would definitely come again and have already started recommending it to others. A super solid spot for a unique and satisfying dinner.

My wife, my son, and I visited Chubby Cattle in Rowland Heights after our Frank N Sons visit since we are never this far south east in the San Gabriel valley and chose the Diamond Tier experience, and it genuinely exceeded every expectation from start to finish. Major shoutout to Kevin! Kevin was amazing. He was attentive, friendly, and an excellent conversationalist. He checked in at perfect intervals, guided us through the menu, and even helped us navigate the Chubby Rewards app. His hospitality truly elevated our night. Because of him, this visit ended up being better than our recent Mikiya and Chubby Skewers experiences. He really set the bar for what great service should feel like. I've been to the Monterey Park and San Gabriel Chubby Cattle locations as well, and the Rowland Heights store is by far the best when it comes to service, organization, and overall cleanliness. Everything felt more polished, well-maintained, and smoothly run. The restaurant has a high-energy modern vibe with warm glowing panels, sleek grill setups, and an impressive layout that makes the whole space feel premium and immersive. The arcade corner is a fun bonus, especially for families. It feels like a full experience, not just a meal. We tried a wide range of items and loved everything. The beef cuts were exceptional, from the beautifully marbled premium selections to the thin-sliced cuts that cooked quickly and practically melted. The Diamond Member beef items that came in the box were a standout, with tender, richly flavored pieces topped with fresh herbs and garnishes. The appetizers and sides were strong as well. The sliders were delicious, and the rice and seaweed helped balance the richness of the meats. Everything arrived fresh, well-portioned, and visually impressive. The warm egg tart was the cherry on top of the entire dinner, flaky, warm, creamy, and absolutely perfect. I truly hope it never leaves the menu and stays forever. It's the ideal ending to the meal. Rowland Heights has officially become our favorite location, and we'll definitely be back.

We went here a second time and Vincent our server was amazing. Somehow when he cooks the meat it tastes better when I cook it. In all, it felt more worth it this time as the service was superb.

I've been meaning to write a review here for quite some time.. The first time I came here when it just opened, we got the diamond tier menu since we wanted to try everything ($85 pp) Everything was amazing, service was great, food was delicious, etc. I ate too much wagyu though, so I had heartburn the next day..! I didn't come back for a while after this, until a few months ago. I visited a few months ago with a friend that I haven't seen or talked to for about 8 years. We opted for the silver tier menu this time ($55/pp) and still was able to eat about 80% of the menu. I would recommend this tier! Again, food was amazing and service was great. We were enjoying our time, but our server went on break and we weren't given our warning before our 2 hours was up, which was okay since they let us order everything 5 minutes before our time was up. However, as we were stuffing the remaining items from our last order, one of the managers (?) came up to our table and basically told us that our two hours was up and they have a lot of people waiting for a table. Indirectly telling us that we had to get up and leave. This was super disappointing and I was upset since I was not done catching up with my friend.. Our catch up time was cut short!! : ( The food is great and service is great, but if you are trying to have a long chat with a long time friend, this is not the place! I thought that the two hour limit was just for ordering.. but i assumed incorrectly

If Ken were a beef, he would be wagyu!!!! A5 service. More informative and hospitable. He was very attentive to our table!! Ken for chubby cattle president 2026

This is our favorite location, which is very spacious and has great ventilation. We enjoyed their diamond tier the best! We've also tried their silver tier, and the A5 was still good, but most of the other wagyu options were under seasoned and tough. The service was always friendly, but not all the servers know how to cook A5 well. On our first visit, the server took his time and made all our meals to perfection. Unfortunately, on the second visit, our A5 rib eye was overcooked to well done (yes, it was such a waste). We also noticed that on both visits, they canceled our A5 orders for no reason and only served the basic wagyu meat. We had to remind them several times, which was a bit tricky. Overall, it's still our favorite location, Would recommend getting their diamond tier for the best experience.

Second time coming back to a Chubby Cattle and this one was so much better than the Monterey park location! Definitely worth driving father since this location was a bit classier with more open seating. There were stations for unlimited appetizers, desserts, tea, and Wagyu curry. Sign me up for those unlimited egg tarts. They were beautifully flaky and warm. However this location doesn't have the smokey presentation box when you order the meats. Honestly I wish I had another stomach. The meats and seafood were all good quality and the presentation added to the experience. We got the gold tier as it was the best deal for us since we got to try more special items, but we didn't really care for all of the extra items in the diamond tier. Our server Ken was attentive and friendly! The memorable items for me were the beef tongue, yellowtail carpaccio, steamed egg and the kimchi Wagyu hand roll. I really wanted the matchatini to be my favorite, but it was too sweet for me. I am also the kind of person that likes 50-75% sweet for bobas/milk teas. I was a bit sad they ran out of the uni/caviar Wagyu and a few more items, but we did reserve a table for 7:45pm on a Thursday. Next time we'll make sure to come earlier! Parking is plentiful, but I know that plaza can get packed on the weekends so come prepared!

Brandon did an amazing job cooking the A5 meats for my entire group! He was attentive, helpful, and very knowledgeable with the meats. His service was spectacular and I would enjoy if he was my server again in the future.

Our family absolutely loves Chubby Cattle -- this is our second time getting the Gold Package, and we're officially members now. Vincent was incredibly nice and helpful tonight; honestly, some of the best service we've ever had anywhere. We're Korean BBQ experts (trust me, we take our meat seriously), and we've had real Yakiniku in Japan... and although nothing quite compares to Japan, Chubby Cattle is hands-down the best yakiniku/BBQ experience in California. The quality, the freshness, the variety -- everything is just on another level. Our kids love it, we love it, and we'll definitely be back again and again. Highly recommend the Gold Package. Worth every penny!

If this was my first time coming here, I would leave a 1 star but since I came here a couple of times before and the service was decent, i'll just leave 2 stars. Super bad service. Waited 2 hours but staff was long to clean up and once we got sat down around 840pm. They said kitchen cut off time is 930pm but as a business you need to do better on these cases because our time was limited due to your waiting system. When we tried to ordered toward the end, the ipad kept shutting off due to low battery. They changed an ipad but same thing happened. I was supposed to have membership but somehow they found my membership expired HOWEVER in the app, it shows i still have bronze status. Everything's so bad today. Staff were trying to be helpful and friendly but the stuff they did never helped.

5/5 Stars for the food! I mean this place is really good! The Japanese Wagyu bbq at the gold level melts in your mouth. I mean the meats are great but there so much going on you don't even know what you are eating at some point. I really enjoyed everything including the waguy curry and wagyu minced meat section was great! 5/5 Stars for service. "WESLEY! WESLEY! WESLEY!" We are coming back just for this guy! We have never been here before and even though the food was great. And I mean really great! Because everything could be overwhelming it was nice to have someone who could explain and help us understand everything. We are definitely coming back because he made the experience fun! 4/5 star ambience! The feeling of being in this place feels unique and lots of fun stuff is happening on the inside. Free video game station while you wait... boba slush and milk tea station... you got curry area and desserts-- the actual look of the place is very fun! The only con for ambience is that the first time can be quite a lot!-- you have to be ok with a fast paced timed dinner. The meal is timed and with so many options and things happening around you it can be overwhelming haha --I suggest coming here with 2-3 friends first to figure out how it works then once you get the feel for ordering and the pace you can bring a larger group!

Love Chubby Cattle! Came here at opening time on a weekend and there's already a line. Second time here and I like this particular location because it's the flagship location. What sucks is that since the last time I came here, the ice cream machine broke down and never replaced. Otherwise, Brandon was our server and was very helpful and very attentive. Even swapped our grill without even asking! Cleared our empty meat trays constantly. Quickly delivering the meat. I love the employees here, even the front lady was very nice. I got the Silver menu this time. Meat is good quality. I prefer the thick meat rather than the thinly sliced. It tastes so much better. They also have limited sushi option which was good. Salmon nigiri was super delicious. There's also rice, curry, side dishes, sauces, etc on the floor. We all get a paper cup and can use it to fill it with sodas, milk tea and boba, or slushie. The cherry pepsi needs the syrup replaced. Tasted super water downed. Would definitely come back! My friend joined the membership.

Had a great experience at Chubby Cattle! Our server, Kelly, and Steven were fantastic. Both were super attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations. Kelly really made the meal even better by cooking for me. Highly recommend asking for her or Steven!

Ken-z made the whole experience a fun time with a welcoming smile. She was very attentive and made the whole experience worth while. The food quality is top tier and the meat just melts in your mouth. I'm addicted to the their BBQ sauce because it goes with practically everything. I can only hope they bottle the sauce and sell it one day.

Hands down the best All you can eat BBQ experience I have ever tried, japanese or korean! Meat are the freshest and high quality. Their sushi sashimi are the best! It's just that their food is on another level. The A5 wagyu are amazingly good. Even their standard wagyu is good enough. Appetizers are ao satisfying, their kimchi is the best. I like that they have free different kind of drinks. Milk tea is a plus for me. Staff are very very nice. And the guy who assisted us in cooking our A5 wagyu is Jason i think is his name, gave us a quality and too notch service. The place is very nice too, huge space, very cozy and very clean. What more can i say but to go back to this place. Probably will be in the one closer to us at topanga mall. This place is a must try to all bbq fans!

Top-notch in all areas of food quality, ambience & service that I joined their annual membership. Special mention on the excellent service & professional treatment by our server Jackson who deserved every bit of our tip. The Wagyu Burger sliders that they have is worth the price of even the lowest tier because of its excellent taste. Very rarely can you get the rich umami flavor of real beef in a burger & this one does it for me that I had 3 servings. And on a side note, they have also a more affordable branch in Chubby Curry (not an AYCE) in the Covina Old Town district where they also have the Wagyu Burger. Kudos to your team.

Would I come back? HECK YEA. I love Chubby Group, especially Chubby Cattle !! OVERALL: ‣ 10/10 Here's What I Got: Gold Menu & honestly try EVERYTHING ATMOSPHERE: ‣ Good for parties small to medium sized parties ‣ Chair & booth seating PARKING: ‣ FREE parking, in the back of Diamond Plaza STAFF: ‣ Special shout out to Wesley !! IG & TikTok: @keilanieats

Jackson was awesome! Food was delicious. 10/10. One of the best premium AYCE experiences I've had.

I had an amazing experience at Chubby Cattle thanks to Dylan. His service was genuinely above and beyond from start to finish. He was super friendly, attentive without hovering, and really knew the menu -- his recommendations ended up being our favorite dishes of the night. What I appreciated most was how effortless he made the whole experience feel. Drinks stayed full, plates were cleared quickly, and he checked in at exactly the right times. You can tell he cares about guests having a great time. Because of Dylan, the visit felt memorable instead of just another dinner out. If you come here, definitely ask for him -- he's the kind of employee that turns you into a returning customer. Thank you Dylan for making our night awesome!

After hearing about Chubby Cattle from a friend, I wanted to check them out! I love Korean BBQ so I definitely have to try Japanese BBQ. We were in SoCal for Disneyland trip so we made a stop here. I made a reservation for a weeknight dinner. It was an easy and simple process. We arrived and checked in with the host. We were then seated in a few minutes. The place looks really nice. There is even an arcade! Once seated, we were greeted by our server, Wesley. He went over the processes and asked us which tier we opted for. We went with the Gold Tier. Wesley helped us cooked the special meats and whatever he could. He was super nice, friendly and provided top notch customer service. He was really attentive. The quality of the meats were good overall. Most items tasted really good and some were average. There is self serve salad bar, rice bar, sauce bar, dessert bar and drinks bar. There is a time limit of 90 minutes which went by super fast. We were super stuffed and had an awesome experience. I am a Chubby Club member so I received discounts on our bill. Plenty of parking but it does get super crowded because it is shared with so many other businesses in the plaza.

If you value ambience and service, Chubby Cattle nails it. We came on a Wednesday night and waited approx. 10 minutes, which flew by thanks to indoor wait seating and a cool arcade nook behind the host stand. Inside, it's dark, moody, and loud, with a moving flame motif that made me feel like I was on a neon Tokyo side street. Our server was Dylan, who explained to us how it goes here. Ordering happens on an iPad (efficient and easy! Max of 10 orders and then you can order after 7 minutes). Meats and dishes came to us fast, and there's AI robots delivering dishes as well. They also have salmon sushi, which I approve (as a nigiri fanatic). Drinks are self-serve with separate boba, soda, and water stations, and sides are DIY too: there's a help-yourself fridge (veggie platter, corn cheese, etc) and a curry/rice bar featuring a pot of Wagyu curry with communal rice. There's also a make-your-own sauce setup with suggested mixes, plus two house sauces at the table. Meat quality was solid across the board, nothing tasted cheap or overly tenderized, and while I'm not a connoisseur of cut-by-cut differences, everything cooked up juicy. Note: I only saw one grill per table, so parties larger than six may need to split. Parking is a non-issue thanks to a massive plaza and underground garage. They do promote a membership; I skipped it. Still, for a date night with slick atmosphere and smooth ordering, I'd come back. 5/5.

We came to Chubby Cattle for dinner without a reservation and joined the wait list when we arrived. We went with the Diamond Menu and everything was amazing from the wagyu to the seafood. Our server Wesley was awesome! He helped us cook some of the top-tier meats and made sure we were taken care of the whole time. You order everything from an iPad, which makes it super easy to keep trying new things at your own pace. They've got a tea / (non-alcoholic) drink bar, a dessert station and a sauce station. There's a 90-minute eat time, which was plenty if youre there to eat. You can join their membership if you come often for deals. Highly recommend making a reservation because the line was literally out the door.

Food: tasty and great selection of meats! Service: nice servers but service becomes slow when it gets busy Ambiance: big restaurant. they have arcade games in the waiting area which is cool! family friendly and good for a night out with friends or date night

Every time we dine here, the food and service are always excellent. During our recent dinner here, Tim was a fantastic server. He checked in on us at all the right times and was diligent with the grill changes. We usually go with the Gold tier menu because it had all the options that we would want. I love that nigiri is part of the options along with the great cuts of beef.

Amazing waiter David made us feel like as if we were home having dinner. He explained all the meats and helped us celebrate our nieces birthday. Thanks for taking care of us Helping staff was amazing too Thank You David for making Jessica's day special

Been to chubby cattle a few times, but this location is my favorite so far. The service, food, ambience all hits together making this a place I'd return for sure. Our server Chris is the best, super friendly and attentive.

This place is pricey but well worth it if you like Korean bbq. Standard atmosphere for a kbbq place: dark, modern, clean, and chic. I've been here 3 times and the service is fast and friendly each time, the service even helps you grill the meat pretty often. You order food from an iPad, and it takes maybe 10 minutes to come, very easy to order as you eat. The food is absolutely delicious. Well-marbled beef with plenty of variety. The sauce bottles are directly at your table to prevent sitting around waiting half an hour for another ounce of sauce (unlike Gen). There's a wagyu curry and rice bar which is delicious but obviously for filling you up so you don't eat expensive meat! Nice try, I only come here to engorge myself and feel awful off A5 beef, not piddly rice. There's also a side bar with kimchi, radishes, seaweed salad, and plenty more. There's also a drink bar with free boba tea and some other juices. And finally there's a dessert bar with egg tarts and some rotating desserts. All this to say, you're getting good stuff for the admittedly steep price. It's too expensive to go frequently but it's perfect for a special occasion. I come here whenever the situation fits, it's that good. Just beware, the parking in this plaza is beyond horrific on the weekends. Be ready to lose your mind stalking people to their cars to find a pitiful spot that's only a couple centimeters bigger than your car.

Food was amazing as always! Tan was super attentive and checked in on us consistently. We had bar top seats and even though he was making the drinks he still was very attentive to us. He was very knowledgeable with the items and menu options that was available. And informed us of the alcohol promotions that was available Monday to Thursday.

This is our first time in this location and it is our favorite so far. We ordered the GOLD TIER and the meat selections are amazing! The service is exceptional especially our server Melo, who was so helpful in helping us maximize our order selections. There was a 90 minute limit in eating but it's more than enough time to try most of the selections. The background music is a bit on the loud side but very upbeat and we enjoyed listening to it while enjoying our food. It's a very casual place and trendy. We highly recommend to try this restaurant specifically the Rowland Heights location!!!

Brandon, Brandon.. What can I say about this glorious meat chef. All the wagyu he cooked melted in my mouth. Chubby cattle is a lit place for a birthday dinner. Highly recommend!

chose the gold tier, but probably should have chose the diamond tier instead. the wagyu meats (A5 wagyu ootoro thick cut & A5 wagyu short rib) in the limited categories were absolutely delicious, melt in your mouth, and buttery! however, after those meats everything else was mediocre in my partner's and I's opinion. it was still nice to have many options, but if we were to come back, we would go for diamond. overall, it is technically worth it for the amount of food, drinks, dessert you get but i wouldn't say everything is top quality. the best part of our dining besides the wagyu would definitely have to be our server, Kevin. he was quick and attentive, and thoroughly explained everything since it was my first time here and that is why I'm giving it 5 stars.

We are always taken care of at this spot. We love coming here especially today. Gabrielle really rolled out the VIP service for our birthday celebrations. Food was amazing as always. We are continually surprised by all the flavors and great quality food.

Drove almost an hour to come here and it was worth it! Got the silver tier. We tried all the meats and some sushi. I lost track of which meats were which, but the finger meat, beef tongue, and miso marinated beef were really good. Honestly, all the meats were good though. The yellow tail hand roll and carpaccio were amazing. The spicy tuna was actually spicy! There is a drink bar with unlimited drinks. The strawberry lychee slushee is sooo good. Mixed it with the pineapple juice and it was even better. Sometimes they have self-serve boba. They also have regular fountain drinks and water. There's a sauce bar and lots of sides including kimchi, seaweed salad, radish, bean sprout salad, okra, steam eggs, etc. saw free rice with curry as well that I didn't try. Dessert bar had egg tarts and they have melona bars. You can order every 7 minutes, 10 dish limit per order. The meats come quickly and they change out the grill fairly often when they see the grill empty. Service was be friendly and attentive. It's a large space, so it gets loud and there are some arcade games. Come with an empty stomach and eat your heart out!

Amazing!!!! I love coming here with friends. Melo was amazing!! He was so nice and constantly checked up on us. The best service I've gotten here! Beef tongue is always amazing. The music wasn't too loud and the playlist was amazing.

Second time coming back, and it was much less packed than the weekend crowd, which was great. Service was amazing -- our server (Chun H.) helped us cook, answered every question, and even fixed the ordering tablet quickly when it glitched. She was super on top of everything. Food quality here is always top-notch, with generous portions and fresh flavors. I also love the arcade waiting area while your table is being prepped -- it makes the wait fun instead of a hassle. Definitely coming back again.

I finally gotten the chance to try this particular location. We came here on a Saturday evening for a bday celebration. Wait time was not bad...we came at 5 got seated in 20min. Food was fantastic with a wide variety of selection. We got the diamond tier. The price was a bit steep but with the membership it was alright. This location does have high ceiling and good ventilation. Our server Ken had the best service. He took care of us the whole night. Always checking in on us. I really appreciate the little banner and singing happy birthday for our friend. Definitely coming back here to celebrate.

Came here when they first opened and everything was great. The quality of the meats, drinks, and sides. Also they were just starting to setup a private room here.... SErvice was also great and on point!

My best bud and I decided to elevate our AYCE dining experience. And wow, we came to the right place. Chubby Cattle Rowland Heights is thee elite in fine meats, foods, desserts, sides, and ambiance. Everything was served with perfection. We opted in for the Gold, which the most popular choice. If you're sticker shocked, then you're not prepared. It is worth every penny you spend. I cannot describe the quality. I'll let my photos speak to the experience. I've been fortunate to dine at other Chubby Club restaurants: Niku and Chubby Curry. Both extremely fine dining experiences on the really high and not so low ends of spectrum. Chubby Cattle lives up to those standards. (Be sure to read to the end on waitlist and reservations) Service. Jason Hu was our waiter and he was amazing. Clear in how to order, the layout of restaurant, and each food station. For the higher end items, he cooked it for us! Insuring the quality of the A5 waygu is cooked to perfection. He then introduced use to their Chubby Club and didn't pressure us. I opted to join the lower tier at $28/year. And with the discount we received this day, it paid it self off. Now I have access to member pricing in the future and a massive discount on my birthday. Jason, thank you for enhancing our dining experience. Ok. Now for my important tips and suggestions to the Host staff. Do your best to get an advanced reservation. But if you do try to walk in and join the waitlist, use Yelp. Noting that the waitlist feature doesn't work unless it's during business hours and you're within a mile radius. BUT if you show up before opening like we did to get in line to access the iPad, be aggressive about staying in order as people lined up. Unfortunately, some guests just have no common sense and are rude to cut the line to get on the iPad to join the waitlist. Some even felt like they knew someone who worked there. Perhaps a little sus. But My suggestion to the Host staff is to establish two lines outside: 1) a line to access the iPad to join the waitlist and 2) a line for those already with reservations. Look, the entire staff is amazing, professional, and friendly. It's some of the tactless guests that try to cut at the door. Be kind and patient everyone. And we'll all enjoy our dining experiences.

Chubby Cattle in Rowland Heights is an AYCE kbbq/sushi dining experience. This place is next-level in every way, especially the theming. We stepped into an immersive room with machiyas decorating the walls, complete with fighting silhouettes of ninjas and wispy red-hued smoke "flames". My boyfriend said it reminded him of something you'd find in Las Vegas, and I totally agree...there's even a whole section with several arcade machines! We opted for the Silver Tier which already had a wide variety to select from. There's also Gold and Diamond Tier levels with specialty meats. The meats we ordered were, roughly ordered by yumminess: full blood thick cut wagyu short rib (this was insanely good, we ordered 3 plates!!), prime angus top blade, thin cut pork belly (the kimchi/pickled onions paired with this cut through the fattiness), wagyu brisket (the cuts we got were tough), salmon carpaccio, signature fruity chuck slices, and wagyu nigiri. On top of ordering unlimited food via a tablet, there are self-serve stations for banchan, curry, veggies, dessert, and a slushee/milk tea bar! The chawanmushi was SOO good! I got kimchi, bean sprouts, edamame, and pickled ginger for accompaniments. The ssamjang was kept separate from the sides, in the dipping sauce section. For drinks, I got the strawberry lychee slushie and samurai milk tea, which were both very good. I think the samurai milk tea is a bit heavy, so I'd get a half cup to avoid filling up on drinks... For dessert, I got earl grey swiss roll (there was just the barest hint of orange) and the classic swiss roll, both were light and fluffy. The real dessert gem was the creme brulee egg tart, which was the very last thing I ate. The edges were super crispy, flaky, and buttery. The staff was attentive and reminded us of last call several times. If you love kbbq, sushi, or just great food in general, I'd recommend this spot. We went for lunch at an off-peak hour because I do recall there being a long wait at this location (and parking in the Diamond plaza can be a nightmare) I can't wait to come back and explore the Gold and Diamond tiers.

My partner and I made a reservation for 2 on a Saturday afternoon at 1pm. We were lucky enough to grab the last available reservation on Yelp only a week in advance. The interior design of the restaurant is very modern and unique, almost like you're transported to Asia. They have all their Wagyu stored for view and multiple arcade machines available to play while you wait for your table. Without a rezy, the wait would've been over 90 mins so definitely plan ahead. Foodwise, we were a bit disappointed with the marinade and meat quality. Almost all their meats were already marinated with an almost too sweet sauce and too fatty, it takes away from the taste of the meat itself. The two choices of Wagyu you get in the Gold tier was not worth the extra price increase IMO. The Wagyu steak just felt like plain ribeye to us. It also took awhile for us to get a grill change so our meat tasted oily and burnt for most of our meal. Worth trying once for the experience at this flagship location but wouldn't return again
