The meat was good but didnt blow me away. The seafood options were actually really good, i loved all the nigiris and the sweet shrimp. However, this place has a very vegas-y vibe. Theres thumping EDM, a giant cow head wearing sunglasses on the ceiling, ventilation isnt great so it can get smoky at times… idk. A large part of price seemed to be for presentstion/vibes. ### vixydish — 5.0/5 · Jul 30, 2023 Immaculate collection of A5 and M9 wagyu meats. Can’t go wrong with any of those meats but focus on getting the limited 1 per person items first. Service was decent for how crowded and busy it was. Beware that the whole place gets super hot and smoky so dress accordingly. Get the $88 diamind tier for a special treat. Parking is easy. ### jessi — 4.3/5 · Feb 14, 2024 This meat focused chain has a few spin offs like hot pot and #bbq. Today we had the bbq option again in la, very meat heavy so #meat lovers check it out ### isayyummy — 4.7/5 · Sep 9, 2023 ### hungrylittlemonsters — 3.8/5 · Jun 5, 2023 amazing all you can eat wagyu! ### jessi — 4.6/5 · Jan 29, 2024 Really cool presentation of the meat and lots of food for the all you can eat option i just was hoping for better quality meat, but overall i did like it ### duckypillow — 5.0/5 · Dec 10, 2024 My idea of festive feasts is enjoying a night out with friends at Korean BBQ! The experience of table top cooking on a grill and catching up with friends and love ones is awesome. The meats here are very high quality, tender and very flavorful. It is also AYCE, and has a large variety of dishes to choose from. ### user_7e7172 — 5.0/5 · Feb 19, 2025 We love going to chubby cattle for AYCE Wagyu bbq. Not only do they have a great selection of Wagyu, but their seafood is also amazing. The only downside is the wait but we love that there is a Yelp waitlist. ### las_0909 — 5.0/5 · Jan 2, 2025 Chubby Cattle is THE place for your A5 fix. While the higher end items are limited, the unlimited choices go beyond any other AYCE. The diamond menu for $85 (non-membership price) that includes unlimited soda and beer can’t be beat. The service is attentive, the meat is melt in your mouth fatty goodness, and the seafood/sushi options are also a treat. It’s great that they now offer reservations which really helps with getting seated quickly. Do note that they are strict with the 90-minute limit. ### annmngo — 5.0/5 · Mar 21, 2025 Went here for birthday with a group of 10z We waited 2 hours and got seated separately but it was to be expected. The variety is very enticing and all of the options were solid. The nigiri, ice cream, and steak were memorable
