ATL Eats: Japanese Wagyu Hot Pot Buffet

Restaurant: Chubby Cattle by Mikiya 🐂🍲 The Japanese Wagyu hot pot buffet is finally open! Located in the same plaza as Had to try this all-you-can-eat Wagyu experience! 🤓 First Impressions: While waiting, the friendly hostess warmly explained the menu—so kind and welcoming! 👩💬 Our Choice: We went with the Gold set. Our server was sweet and helpful, starting us off with the limited-time premium items included in the package. Broth & Flavors: We chose Spicy Miso + Sukiyaki broths. The Sukiyaki broth, slightly sweet and rich, was perfect for cooking the Wagyu and dipping into raw egg—absolutely heavenly! 🥚✨ Highlights: Seafood Platter: Fresh and sweet, especially when cooked in the broth. A5 Wagyu (Gold limited): Tender, buttery, and incredibly flavorful—definitely the star! Special Dishes: Sweet shrimp were large and fresh (sadly, beef marrow was sold out). Veggie Platter: Loved the surprise "fukubukuro" pouches filled with shrimp and something crunchy (lotus root? water chestnut?). Sides & Drinks: The condiment bar had tasty wasabi octopus and spicy clams, plus Ramune and Genki Forest drinks. Udon Noodles 🍜: A must-try! Cooked in the Wagyu-infused Sukiyaki broth, they absorbed all the rich, savory flavors. Ambiance & Service: Modern, clean, and lively. Service was prompt and dishes came out quickly. Although there's a 90-minute limit, we were comfortably full in about an hour. Membership & Final Thoughts: We signed up for the yearly membership ($28 per person)—great value if you plan to return! Gold set offers a wonderful taste of everything; if you want unlimited A5, go for Diamond. Left happily stuffed and ready to face the week ahead! 😊🏮 #AtlantaEats #WagyuHotPot #ChubbyCattle #AllYouCanEat #JapaneseFood #AtlantaFoodie #BuffetTime #A5Wagyu #Sukiyaki #FoodExperience #MustTry
