About Chubby Cattle BBQ | Rosemead - steak house in El Monte, California
Customer Review Summary
Chubby Cattle BBQ in Rosemead offers high-quality meat and friendly service. The karaage is discouraging, while the sushi and Thai chili shrimp received positive reviews. Charges for soju are considered high, although the interior is visually appealing yet somewhat cramped. The buffet, priced at $65.99, is unlimited and ideal for small groups, but arriving early is recommended to avoid crowds. The restaurant has a regular lunch menu with discounts for members and seniors. Customers praise the cozy atmosphere and the BBQ experience, though some cuts of meat may overcook.

Glad to have been able to try this place. The meat was top quality and our server was nice. It's been a few days, and I'm still mad about the karaage. I'm saying, don't order it. Otherwise, the sushi was fine and the other diner with me LOVED the Thai chili shrimp. One other downside is they charge $15 for a bottle of soju. Anything more that $4 is price gouging, IMO. But the interior was nice to look at, though a bit cramped.

It's my first time here and it's really nice. The waitress had a sweet smile and was very pretty. It's not very busy in the morning, so it's perfect for chatting. There is only one menu here, buffet $65.99 a person, all are unlimited, really nice, suitable for 1-4 people to get together, it is best to go there early, no reservation also have a place to sit. The waiter told us that we should arrive before 5:30 to be comfortable without so many customers.

I've been here many times and must share my experience with all my friends. They have a lunch menu on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 12:00pm-2:30pm. The price is $45.99, with a $6 discount if you purchase a membership, which equals $39 for the Wagyu Buffet. For seniors over 65, there is also a 20% discount, which equals $36.70 for one person for the Wagyu Buffet, which is a great deal. If you want more wagyu options, you can choose the dinner menu. However, it's best to get there early for dinner, before 5:30pm every day, so there's no need to wait in line (because Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays are relatively crowded). If you have a friend's birthday, you can tell the waiter that they will have a special program. Then they are available for reservations on yelp.

Chubby Cattle’s been blowing up lately, and I see why. We came thru in at 5 pm on New Year’s Day with a reservation. The place is smaller compared to their other locations, but it still holds it down. Rowland Heights is still my go-to place. The setup is cozy with booths everywhere, but it gets smokey...real BBQ energy. The menu’s not huge, but it gets the job done. My only thing? Some cuts are too thin and overcook fast, so you lose that good texture. Thick cuts are where it’s at for me. They finish you off with ice cream to cool it all down, which is a nice touch. Solid spot,

Valentine’s Day. I didn’t know that on holidays they only offer a set price, which was a bit disappointing since we really wanted to try the Gold or Diamond tiers for their wider selection of sashimi and special dishes. Maybe it’s just this location, because I saw that the Monterey Park location offers that kind of menus. That aside, the food was amazing! They have the best A5 meat I’ve ever had, and the appetizers were just as impressive. I highly recommend trying the Wagyu Ootoro, beef tartare, and salmon carpaccio. The meat literally melts in your mouth—so flavorful and tender. I usually don’t eat raw meat, but the beef tartare was absolutely perfect—no strong smell, well-seasoned, and paired beautifully with the crispy chip. The salmon was a 10/10—super fresh and delicious with a touch of wasabi. The staffs were really friendly and helpful too I’ll definitely be coming back!

Good foods. Quick service. Friendly & helpful staffs. If you buy the annual membership, you and another 2 guests can enjoy the discounted price and first sodas for free. You will also get credit $45.99 for your birthday & a gift. Waiting time was approximately 45 mins past lunchtime on labor day.
