Glad they're doing well Chad, our server, was attentive, kind, and funny. Great service! Got the over the rainbow roll, tteok bokki, chun cheon chicken galbi, ossam bulgogi. - roll had tasty purple rice and fresh fish! Not fishy at all - tteok bokki had a little spice and loved how soft but chewy the tteok was. Even after taking it to go and reheating it, the tteok was nice and soft and chewy - chun cheon chicken galbi - great flavor without being salty. Asked for extra veggies and they were cooked perfectly so there was a crunch. Chicken is sooo tender

We didn't have to wait too long to be seated, and they took our order quickly. The food also came out in a reasonable amount of time considering how packed it was. My ramen was delicious and really flavorful, and the roll we ordered was also very tasty. Another cool thing is that there's a small market in the same plaza with treats and snacks. I noticed the host called someone to let them know their table was ready while they were shopping there, which I thought was such a great idea if you're waiting for a seat. Overall, great food, friendly service, and a nice atmosphere. I'd definitely come back!

As noted by another reviewer: this place just feels different. Seems a new owner? Either way it's…read morebeen a long time since we came here last, as there had been a drop off in quality since our early visits. Some things have changed, like prices and some stayed the same, like the clunky order tablet. Sushi: Rolls used to be mostly under $10, but still a pretty good option @ $12 for most. The quality is on par with Whole Foods, which actually charges a bit more. Spicy Tuna @ $10.99 though doesnt make sense. Bulgogi: Our son's go to order, chicken was chewy and he just gave up after a few bites. Wings: They completely bungled this item. First of all the wings are miniscule for $12. Then you dont actually get any wings, we had all drums. Ordered Buffalo Spicy, came with sauce on the side? So I am supposed to dunk these? That's nuts! All pieces had more breading than actual chicken and one drum was so small, probably off a pigeon(joke). I brought three home and you can see the size relative to a Tic Tac box(one of the larger ones) Overall: They expanded the overall dining space by adding an outdoor area since we came here last. This place used to be packed and wait times were off the charts for the small crew of 3. Unfortunately on this Sat night, there were a few take out orders and we were the only ones dining in. So I am hoping they can turn this place around to its old potential.

Food is ok overall 4/5 (Tofu seafood soup: 5/5, omurice 4/5, spicy chicken soup 4/5, Bibimbowl 4/5 but I wouldn't say it was special. We had a toddler with us and had a stroller which could fold into a much smaller piece less than the size of a chair. The place was almost empty when we walked in. As soon as the owner (I assumed) saw us walking in, she gave us a super unfriendly almost impolite look, told us to fold the stroller. Then we were about to fold it, she told us "no no no, you have to put it in your car". There was no sign about stroller anywhere and the restaurant was almost empty. I was ok w it, folding it and walked back to leave it in my car. I told her we had 4 and a baby. She gave us a table for 4 then told us why didn't I told her sooner that we had 5 people. We helped our toddler to drink water but she liked to drink water from the cup directly and not through a straw and shook her head a bit. The owner scolded us why not having her drink water lol Then my toddler was drinking water from the cup directly as she always does. The owner scolded us. Yes, scolded. She told us close the lid and have her drink the water from the straw. At this point, I wanted to leave but because we already ordered. We didn't want to be impolite... My friend ordered an omurice and kimchi soup. When the food is out, the owner looked at her with a weird look shaking her head thinking she eated too much. Lol. She was smiling to other Caucasian customers while always judgemental and somehow unhappy to our group (Asian people) although we were polite and followed her directions the whole time. Last but not least, 18% of tip was automatically included in our bill.

As my first Korean BBQ experience in Arizona, it did me proud. First, the decor is fantastic. It…read morecould have easily passed as a Michelin restaurant in a New York Four Seasons hotel, or at the Aria in Vegas. It was simply.... cool AF. The food presentation and layout also delivers. Someone clearly spent time with the visual experience. This is what I call a restaurant designed for the 'Gram. However, a couple things that didn't quite full send. First, the service is incredibly slow. Staff was friendly, but "nice" doesn't equate to the textbook definition of hospitality. Things were slow, and unlike top end Korean restaurants I'm used to in NY and LA, where any floating staff can assist with cooking, things just took unnecessarily long. This is a pain point they really need to address, especially as a Korean restaurant. As a half-Korean, service and efficiency is part of our cultural pride, so this disappointed. The marinated beef ribs ("kalbi") were perfect. I grew up with this my whole life, and Sizzle's quality is right up there with kalbi royalty. If you've never had Korean bbq, and have only one chance to eat it THIS is the dish you want. The beef brisket ("chadol") was good too, but what makes this dish popular is the sauce. There are places in Korea and LA that people line up for specifically because of the chadol sauce. They didn't have a dedicated sauce, so if you've ordered and liked it, you're only getting half the picture. Dedicated chadol sauce is THE key, instead of the rudimentary salt or sesame oil. HUGELY disappointed! It's like trying pizza for the first time without tomato sauce, no matter HOW good the crust and cheese is. Other than that, like I said, they represented. However, I'd elevate on my 2 critical points, because someone could easily open up a competing restaurant, and wreck this place on service and sauce. Sizzle, you're very good, but you could be great!

@sizzle desert ridge mall…read more First, of all the Korean BBQ restaurants in Phoenix, their meat quality is the best. I applaud them for having good quality food, the prices reflect quality. On my last experience, Saturday March 28th, it was disappointing due to the way we were treated. We requested fish cake upon ordering and was told they just ran out, I commented/asked if that was truly the case as it is always out. At the very least, it's been the last 10 times they've been out of this side. We do go frequently, so it was surprising to hear him make this excuse. The remaining food service was average, it was busy so the server did the best he could under the circumstances. He attitude seemed fine and we moved on with our meal. Upon receiving our check, he decided to autograt our bill for a party of 5. I brought this up to our server and he stated it is managements decision to autograt parties of 5 or more (I call BS) and asked if it was because I seemed displeased at the ordering of our food due to the fish cake questions? I asked if I was profiled as someone who doesn't tip for any other reason? He insisted that all parties of 5 or more at the restaurant are autograt, at all Sizzles. At this point, if servers are now able to autograt any parties they feel a tip is not earned, it's no longer a tip and a restaurant charge. if I was profiled, it would seriously be disappointing. I'm happy to share all receipts showing a minimum of 20% at every restaurant, many cases even more, including at Sizzle. Deeply disappointing at this restaurant and may consider not going back. There are many options but to be treated this way is again, disappointing at best. I rated 2 stars due to the interaction and excuses for the autograt and will be writing a letter to the management but affirm the food/meat quality is very good, this was a very bad reflection of service and decision for the service staff to secure their tip this way. If they're out of fish cake, I do not blame the server and it is not their compensation that should be impacted but the action taken by the staff is questionable.

I hung up and tried to call back, however the line was busy for several minutes. When I arrived in person to order, the waiter quickly took my order and informed me it would be 15-20 minutes. The dinner bento box is listed as $19.99 on their website, however, the price has gone up to $24.99. We ordered a beef bulgogi dinner bento box and a chicken katsu dinner bento box. It is a good amount of food (rice, protein, kimchi, 2 pieces of Korean Fried Chicken, 2 dumplings, potatoes, shrimp tempura, and seaweed) but I would recommend getting it for lunch instead at a cheaper price (don't remember how much exactly). Despite this, it was all very mediocre... The chicken katsu and KFC were incredibly dry, and the KFC was a lot of batter. No side of katsu sauce that it desperately needed. The beef bulgogi was definitely better. 2 stars for the chicken katsu, 3 stars for the bulgogi.
