“Oscar and Alyssa were both such great people who genuinely cared about my experience in this fine establishment. Great job!!! Great mocktails, especially the Matcha mocktail! This place lives up to its name. Manageable prices and awesome staff. If I owned this place I’d be proud of myself for making people consistently happy …”
“We got the 2 Platinum package. Spicy 🔥🥵 hot pot... Had that guy running back and forth with all our A5 wagyu”
“Great place! We had a great time with our server Phil, he was polite explained everything and gave us extra accommodations because we came here right after our wedding. Wagyu was phenomenal many different broths to choose from for the hot pot. We will be back and we will be getting the all you can eat barbecue next time! - update we came back July 10th and we did hot pot again. Service was very quick even tho it was packed phill was accommodating and helped us make sure we got all our points. All ways a good time!”
“The futuristic, sheer black interior with tall walls feels upscale and immediately impressive when you walk in. We came here for my husband’s birthday, and it did not disappoint! This all-you-can-eat concept offers two options: wagyu hot pot or wagyu grill. We chose the hot pot (shabu shabu), which felt like the better fit for a slower, cozy meal. You build your own sauce at the sauce bar and can grab your own vegetables, while meats and appetizers are brought to the table. There are several tiers of membership-style pricing. We opted for the Diamond tier and were able to try a wide range of items beyond just wagyu. The sweet shrimp in particular was exceptional, and the wagyu tartare was also a standout. For broth, we went with the golden chicken base, which was rich without being overpowering. In addition to wagyu and vegetables, you can also order a seafood platter or individual seafood items. We tried the scallops and abalone, and both were were fresh and delicious. Vegetables include mushrooms, napa cabbage, bok choy, tofu, and other fresh selections that you can self-select at the bar. Service was excellent! The server was fast, attentive, and consistently checked in without being intrusive. No complaints there. The meal ended with ice cream delivered to the table (chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla), and there is also a self-serve fruit station with watermelon and pineapple. The chocolate ice cream is TO DIE FOR!!! A little background on this place~ Wagyu House is part of the Chubby Cattle group, a modern hot pot and wagyu dining concept known for immersive dining experiences and premium meats. Overall, this was another solid Chubby Cattle concept restaurant that delivers on both food and experience.”
“Everything about Wagyu House is worth it! From the service to the atmosphere to the food nothing is ever a miss. Our server Phil went above and beyond to make our experience everything we could ask for especially cause it was my birthday. You will find yourself coming back here all the time.”
“Food was delicious!!! Ambience and music selection was a vibe!! Shout out to our server Danny! Until next time :-)”
“It was a great first experience! The staff were welcoming and friendly. They were very accommodating for our big group. A great variety of food and a cozy ambiance. Zack was a fantastic and very informative server.”
“Danny!!!!!! Thank you so much for such a great experience!!! The food delish and your beautiful personality made our bday dinner phenomenal 10/10”
“The first serving was great. However, when we ordered an additional serving, the meat was overly salted, which caused all of us to lose our appetites.”
“We were first timers at hot pot and our server Jimmy was amazing! He took the time to explain how the menu worked, how to cook things, and even showed us how to eat Waygu with the egg yolk! The selection of veggies and sauces was variable enough to cover everyone’s taste palates. Will definitely be back and will have to try the yakinuki!!”
