The California-based Chubby Cattle is known for being an all-you-can-eat restaurant that offers Japanese A5 wagyu, the highest grade of the coveted wagyu beef. Most of the locations serve yakiniku, the traditional Japanese BBQ, where guests grill their own meat on the tables. Some locations focus on Chinese-style hotpot while others serve Japanese shabu shabu, but all three concepts use the Chubby Cattle name.
The menu offers three different price tiers. With the highest two tiers, you can order A5 wagyu and other special dishes like lobster tail and foie gras. In addition to the meat and seafood for grilling, the menu also offers sushi and dumplings. For diners who can really put away food, the all-you-can-eat offering can be a great deal. Another thing that is different about Chubby Cattle is that the restaurant offers a membership program that comes with perks like discounts and free birthday meals.
Chubby Cattle opened its first location in Monterey Park, California, in 2023 and has since expanded to numerous locations, including Atlanta and New York. There are currently ten Chubby Cattle locations with more on the way. In 2026, the chain plans to expand into Texas, starting with San Antonio. The parent company also operates other restaurants such as Mikiya and Niku X.
