San Antonio's Northwest Side is getting a serious new meat magnet. Wagyu Factory, an all-you-can-eat wagyu buffet concept, is gearing up for a June opening at a storefront along I-10, bringing grill-your-own tabletop cooking together with a sprawling pan-Asian buffet. The hook is premium Japanese, Australian, and American wagyu, and plenty of it, although the company has not yet named an exact opening date for the San Antonio spot.
As reported by CultureMap San Antonio, the buffet will not be short on variety. Expect dumplings, udon, tempura, sushi rolls and nigiri, plus egg tarts, a sauce bar, and other sides. In a company release cited by CultureMap, David Zhao, co-founder of Chubby Group, framed the mission as making premium wagyu "approachable, exciting, and endlessly satisfying."
The brand lists San Antonio as "Coming Soon" on its official locations page, a sign that the chain is continuing its U.S. rollout. Wagyu Factory, which debuted last year and has since opened multiple outlets in California and beyond, is adding the Alamo City to that pipeline. The San Antonio entry appears alongside other upcoming openings on Wagyu Factory.
What the Menu and Format Look Like
Inside, the setup will blend tabletop grilling and hot-table service with a self-serve bar, where diners can load up on cooked dishes and pick out raw cuts to sear at their own tables. According to CultureMap San Antonio, the offerings will run from lower-cost sides and marinated wings to premium A-grade wagyu, letting guests mix splurge-friendly cuts with more budget-conscious items. The buffet format and sauce bar are part of the brand’s approach to keeping wagyu relatively accessible by buying in volume.
Where It Will Be
Local hiring posts tied to the opening help pinpoint the location. Job listings place the San Antonio Wagyu Factory at 11745 W Interstate 10 Ste 414 and include openings for both front-of-house and back-of-house positions, with a tentative June start window as the team gets ready to launch service. Interested applicants can find the roles and address details on Indeed.
How This Fits San Antonio's Dining Scene
The new arrival adds to a broader wagyu-focused push from Chubby Group and its related brands, which have been planting flags in other U.S. markets. Chubby Group highlights several wagyu-centric concepts in its portfolio, and local coverage has already noted related projects in the area, including a separate Chubby Cattle plan at North Star Mall as the company builds out its Texas presence. Earlier this year, all-you-can-eat wagyu wonderland coverage tracked that North Star Mall announcement.
For now, the exact June opening day in San Antonio remains under wraps. Folks eyeing an early grill session will want to keep an eye on Wagyu Factory's official channels, where the company usually shares soft-opening details and reservation information. The locations list and contact links are maintained on the Wagyu Factory site.
