Gloria provided exceptional service during our visit to 牛武士餐廳. She was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great dining experience. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she checked in with us just the right amount to make sure everything was perfect. The food was delicious, and her warm and professional demeanor made the meal even more enjoyable. If you’re visiting this restaurant, I highly recommend asking for Gloria—she truly made our visit memorable!

This place is great, they have a variety of delicious cuts with a good atmosphere. Our server, Bamboo, provided excellent service, she was very attentive and even helped us cooking our beef. I recommend coming here with friends and family.

on a chilly night, checked in ahead through Yelp, still had to wait 20 minutes, but it was worth it. This spot’s smaller than the Rowland Heights one, but the vibe was solid. We went Gold Tier...everything came out fast, and the meat? Straight 🔥, top-tier quality. The server stayed on it, swapping grills like a pro. Scallops? Man, I crushed four plates. Wagyu sushi? Dangerous—so addictive. Ventilation was rough, though; felt like a smoke show inside. But that ice cream at the end? Hit different. So dang good. Would I come back? 100%.

The best Korean BBQ and Japanese restaurant ever tried in Southern California. Service is amazingly fast. Especially, server, Ady, is always attentive to what we needed and super kind. Again, a must visit in Southern California!! 2 thumbs up and full 5 stars!!

Hands down my favorite restaurants in Los Angeles. From the aesthetic to the overall experience and quality of food. I typically do the diamond package- which includes some premium meat selections, the sushi, pretty much everything on the menu and I do the alcohol package. Every time I go I am never disappointed and the food is SO yummy! You can also be get a chubby membership that gets you $20 off and free extra premium meat, in addition to a point system with sister locations. The service is impeccable consistently and I’m absolutely obsessed with this place.

We selected the gold tier. The meat quality was really good but the salt and sauces was a bit of a disappointment. It didn’t match the quality of the meat. With this quality of meat I would expect better salt at the very least. Given the price to flavor ratio I would give this place a 3/5. Service was great, the meat came out really fast. Waiters would check in with us regularly and were very attentive.

My husband made a reservation for a Friday night at 6:30pm and we were told we had to wait about 30 minutes and we would get a text when our table was ready. We received a text at 7:11pm but was told this was just to make sure we were ready for our table so we didn’t actually get seated until after 7:30pm. The service was actually really good and fast, servers proactively came to offer more drinks, change the grill, etc. The food was just ok though. The premium meats which were limited to 1 order per person were really good and tender. The rest of the meat quality was not that impressive.

Our visit to Chubby Cattle on Thanksgiving was nothing short of a chaotic, overpriced, and stressful experience. My husband made a reservation for six at 2 PM, but we weren’t seated until 2:20 PM. What’s the point of a reservation if you still have to wait? We opted for the Diamond Tier, which promised a premium experience. However, the reality fell far short of expectations. We were told we’d have 90 minutes to dine, but in practice, it was only about 70 minutes. The ordering process on the iPad was slow and frustrating—you’re limited to six items at a time, and it took quite a while for the first order to arrive. To make matters worse, our final order never showed up. A server approached us to ask if we wanted anything else, which seemed considerate, but that “extra time” led to a surprise 20% overtime charge. It felt more like a money grab than good service. While the meats, including the A5 wagyu, were good, the experience was far from worth it. The high price tag and poorly managed service make this place a one-time visit for us. Final Verdict: Don’t be lured in by the hype and suspicious five-star reviews—many of which are from accounts with only one or two reviews. This place is not worth the stress, the cost, or the wait. Save your money and your time. You’ve been warned.
