Had dinner here with my children and we were all disappointed. We love Korean bbq and we go whenever we find one in whatever state we are visiting but this one was my least favorite. We ordered the large beef combo "(3-4)" people but it absolutely would not satisfy 3-4 grown people. The meat is sliced like bacon and its so thin it sticks to the grill! The other meat that was "seasoned" had more fat in it then actual meat. The rib eye was a total let down with no seasoning at all. They do not even let you actually choose what you want it's one or the other from the list and you can't get two of the same. They put a tiny bit of lettuce for a meal of 3-4 people which I thought was ridiculous. They literally have coke, sparkling water or hot/cold tea THAT'S IT! All the rest are alcohol drinks. Definitely would not recommend. It's EXTREMELY overpriced for what they offer.
I had the beef combo, and it was amazing! All the Korean sides you can think of, and our server cooked everything perfectly in front of us. I will definitely be back!
We stopped in with the kids looking to grab lunch and had a bit of sticker shock with the prices; however, the food was very good, just perhaps not the most economical place for a family of 5 with three kids. That being said, the meat was very good and the meal overall was wonderful with great heat and flavor. We had a beef combo for two plus a dumpling soup for the 7 y.o. plus a silk tofu pot with seafood for the 13 year old. The salads and sides along with the two side dishes were plenty to feed us all. My youngest really liked the dumplings and soup and it was mild from a heat perspective but had great taste. The silk tofu pot was wonderful. It had great heat that built up over each bite. The seafood in the pot was tender and a great mix. The various cuts of beef were very tender and had a good mix of fat, especially for grilling. Yes, others have complained that the meats were not flavored (except the marinated ribs). That is clear on the menu and you flavor things with the sauces and sides. I loved eating the ribeye with the onion salad and some kimchee in one bite. The hot sauce and salt together on another piece was great. So in the end, I have to rate this 5 stars. The food was excellent. I will likely just come back as 4 adults or a date night instead of a family of 5.
We had a wonderful time! Good food, nice Korean music, and the waitress was friendly.
Absolutely amazing and delicious. TJ (Manager) was simply spectacular. She explained to us the different types of meat and the quality we could expect. She was extremely on top of the service. She made sure our food was cooked to perfection. This girl deserves a raise!! Thank you so much!
This was THE experience. I loved all of it. Server was very attentive. Plenty of meats & sides. Loved the pork combo. The other couples did beef combo. Hubby had Kimchi Fried Rice. It was a really big platter of food. Kimchi wasn't super hot, very flavorable. All the sides had great flavor. This was an experience. Server did the cooking for us which really helped. It isn't cheap, but there was huge portions of meat. We couldn't finish it all. The seafood appetizer was really yummy.
Top notch meat quality and experience. The server grill for you but I rather do it myself. Definitely once in awhile kind of spot. Pretty pricey and its not all you can eat.
Felt very uninformed. Lots of dishes on the table while we were seated but nothing was explained. Had no clue the salads were for us to eat and not for the cook to use while cooking. Had to ask the server what everything was for. The meat was good quality but almost no seasoning. Very bland. The potential of this place is very high but felt as if someone had explained what everything was and what it was for, it would've made the experience much better. I also think they need to have more seasoning available at the table if they aren't going to season the meat before or while cooking.
For Valentine's day, we really wanted Korean BBQ. Our favorite place (Takamatsu) wasn't open on Mondays so we decided to try Sizzle. Overall, it was not a great experience. It wasn't just service either, but the food. We've tried many places all around Phoenix and I rarely leave bad reviews. Here is why I'm giving this 2 stars.1. The food was mostly bland. We got the large beef combo and most of it really wasn't tasty. Their side dishes were sub par. I will say their soy bean stew was very delicious, but that's it.2. Portions... There were 4 of us so we ordered the Large beef combo. It was definitely not enough. They gave us 4 different meats but honestly, barely enough of each. We had gotten a large for a reason and usually when you get the BBQ, each meat has a decent portion. The marinated short rib (the only meat with good flavor) was only one small piece for the 4 of us to share. My friends ended up leaving hungry and making a pizza at home. ..... Now the sides, again, there were 4 of us so I was expecting a bit more sides. I had to ask for more kimchi a few times because she would bring it and it would have 1-2 pieces each time! We couldn't even share one helping.3. Prices. I've never been to a Korean bbq that was that expensive. I've been to places in Phoenix, new york, Pennsylvania, Idaho, California and even Korea itself (lived their for 3 years) I wouldn't have minded if it had been worth it, since I'm always craving good Korean food, but with the portions and taste of everything, I was definitely disappointed. I'd recommend going elsewhere.4. Service. When we first got there, we waited about 10 min, ate all the sides while we waited for someone to come and ask for drinks or meal options. We figured it was just a busy day but then 3 other groups came in and we're seated AND spoken to before us. We thought, maybe we were accidentally missed so we asked a busser to find who our waitress is. We didn't wait much longer, and we did see she was cooking the meats so we understood missing us, we were also in the corner. When she did come though, she was not very pleasant. Didn't smile and, she asked if we knew what drinks we wanted. I told her we did and we'd like to put in our order as well and she seemed annoyed by that. Long story short, she forgot our appetizer, never refilled our water, even after we asked. She seemed really annoyed anytime I asked for things (garlic, bean paste... Which are normally already given to you at most Korean bbq), she never gave us the lettuce leaves and honestly gave us a pretty cold shoulder. She didn't look at us, smile or conversate which it seemed she did with other tables. We usually end up making great friends with our waiters/waitresses so I don't know if she just had a bad feeling since we asked the busser in the beginning, but it was pretty harsh. When we left the restaurant, we all shared the same feeling about her resentment toward us all night.All in all, All four of us were extremely unsatisfied. We all agreed that we'd never go back, that it wasn't worth it. Which is honestly a crazy thought since all four of us usually love everything we eat and usually I love to leave great reviews with food recommendations and pics. Unfortunately, this time wasn't the case :/Skip this place and try somewhere worth your money and pleasing to the taste buds.Side note: What Korean bbq doesn't automatically come with a side of rice?! Lol I mean, it was only $2 but still when a combo is $150... You expect rice? ??
