We ordered the pork trotter and braised lion head combo set which comes with a bowl of rice, egg, and a drink. The meat was very tender and flavorful and you can choose the spice level. The portion for each set is large enough for 2 people, although when sharing, you may feel the need to order an extra bowl of rice. A bowl of pickled cabbage rice noodle was also ordered which had spam meats, veggies, tofu, Wooded mushroom and even 2 small quail eggs. The yolk of the quail egg was surprisingly smooth and creamy. The cold side veggy dishes had a hint of sesame oil and was refreshing eaten alone or paired with the braised meats. We chose the passion fruit tea for the drink which tastes like it was made from real tea and real fruit with seeds. The meat was tasty and affordable. Menu item selections are limited compared to other Chinese restaurants but this is a nice cozy restaurant to go to for those craving homemade type braised foods. read more

Awesome food at great prices! I really liked the yellow beef brisket; the flavor was great and the meat was tender. Got it with the seaweed side and subbed the drink for soup instead. Service staff were nice and the restaurant was very pretty, spacious, and comfortable to sit in. No wait on a Sunday lunch. Easy parking in plaza. read more

Ikka Sizzling Pot - Beef Brisket Combo - Chinese Near Me - Arcadia, California

Really enjoyed their sizzling pot set for a quick lunch. I ordered the braised bone-in chicken pot - it was tender however not much meat. Be warned, the peppers can make this dish a little spicy. I also asked if they could remove the mushrooms from the pot but ultimately they weren't able to. Good value, I like how it comes with a little refreshing side (I chose the carrots and potatoes), a drink, and a tea egg. Service is super friendly. read more

Ikka Sizzling Pot - Bone-in braised chicken pot - Chinese Near Me - Arcadia, California

Amazing spot that serves up delicious sizzling pots. Been wanting to try this spot for awhile and finally had time to stop by when I was in Arcadia. Was empty at 6 pm on Friday but service was good and fast. Food came out in under 10 minutes and drinks almost immediately. I got these combos. Yellow Braised Pork Rib Combo - Amazing, it was delicious. The pork ribs were so tender and so easy to eat. Perfect amount of fattiness and loved that it came super hot and sizzling. I got this with the potatoes, and tea egg on the side. Definitely add in the egg! Also got this combo with the soup of the day which was egg drop soup but it lacked flavor so honestly pick a drink instead unless the soup sounds more appetizing. (5/5) Yellow Braised Chicken (Bone in) - This was also very good but I preferred the pork over it. Flavors were still delicious and the chicken was nicely cooked. This one I got with the passion fruit tea which was super refreshing. (4.5/5) I would totally be back here, I felt like the prices were worth it for the amount of food and quality that you get. Combo deals come with a very big quantity and you will leave full even if you eat a lot. Total spent $40 for two people with leftovers to take home. Friendly service, delicious food at a reasonable price, would recommend but pass on the egg drop soup if its the soup of the day! Parking - Huge lot so fairly easy. read more

The food tasted really good, and I highly recommend it. However, the website forces you to order a set meal, which adds extra costs for items you may not want. I would recommend calling to place your order instead, as you can order individual items that way. read more

What to say about such an amazing place. It's remarkably clean and it has such a nice and cozy vibe to it. The price is reasonable for the huge portions you get. The food itself is wondrous. Our server was a nice lady. I'm planning on going back soon. This restaurant would be the type of restaurant I'd become a regular at. read more

I recently came across this restaurant in Arcadia. Came in for lunch on Saturday. Big portion, fair price, and great service. The combo has main dish, rice and sous vide egg. It also comes with a side dish of your choice and a drink of your choice. Everything tasty yummy (Even the leftover)!! Main dish has lots of choices including chicken, beef, pork, lamb, pig trotter, and tofu!! Their drinks are too sweet for my taste though. I asked for low sugar but it tastes same as normal sugar. They also have soup noodles on the menu which I haven't tried. read more

Ordered the pork ribs pot to go (non-spicy) which was quite disappointing. The meat was in very small pieces, there was one piece of broccoli and overcooked potatoes. Flavor was very mediocre, no depth of flavor and bland. At least it wasn't overly oily or salty. The combo came with a choice of side, which I chose the cucumber with wood ear mushroom and tofu. Tasted a little better due to the spicy flavoring, but was still pretty bland. The shredded potato was even more flavorless when ordered non-spicy. The "soup" had some egg drop to it but looked like they accidentally spilled too much corn starch. Needless to say, I'm not coming back! read more

Delicious, fresh and fast. The combo is a great choice that comes with a choice of cold dishes and a drink.

Comfort food at its finest, Ikka Sizzling Pot is all about that braise. If you've never had Huang Men Ji before aka braised yellow chicken, you need to get on it! The menu here is simple, offering simple braised meats and vegetables with a protein of your choice. Besides chicken, you can also choose between pork trotters, pork ribs, lamb or tofu. You really get your money's worth by making it into a combo. A combo gets you a cold side dish and drink of your choice: mixed seaweed, mixed beancurd and cucumber or mixed shredded potato and carrot. Because this dish comes sizzling with all of its bold flavors and sauce, the cold side dish does a great job of mellowing everything out. I've tried the chicken, ribs and trotters and you can't go wrong with any of them. The passion fruit tea here is also delicious and refreshing! Much needed especially if you opt for the regular spicy level and higher. read more

The restaurant have limited seatings so order out. The rice "clay pot" is not the authentic Cantonese version. The choice of braised meat are okay and sauces are on the saltier end. The sides are also salty -- -- whereas the seaweed salad have a soy sauce base. Overall, the service was good. read more

I always love a braised pot and decided to try this place! They are in a plaza so there is a parking lot. The place is small with only 4-5 tables but when my boyfriend and I went for a late lunch there wasn't that much people. We got seated right away and they gave us menus, to my surprised they have Korean fried chicken! I remember when I bookmarked this place a few months ago they only served braised items. Since I wanted to try their Korean fried chicken, my boyfriend and I decided to share one braised boneless chicken pot that comes with rice $10.99. You can have a option for a combo $13.99 comes with a side dish and a drink. We chose the bone in wings for $12.99 8 pieces (which is not bad they were so huge!!!) I wasn't sure if their soy garlic was good so I ask for the sauce on the side The wait wasn't bad, but the food was amazing everything was very flavorful and comforting. The chicken was super moist and soft and the wings were beyond amazing, I was very surprised in how big the wings were (definitely worth the price) super crunchy and not soggy at all. The soy garlic sauce is not bad but I saw a table next to us it was very drenched and I'm not a fan of very drenched wings so having it on the side was perfect. Overall this place was beyond my expectations and I'm definitely coming back to try their other dishes. read more

So glad we gave this place a shot. The food exceeded my expectation. I had the Yellow Braised Tofu with Assorted Vegetables. If you love vegetables, this is your dish. There's more than one kind of tofu with big chunks of (oyster) mushroom, not to mention good flavor. Hubby tried the Boneless Yellow Braised Chicken, equally delicious. For spice level, I wish you could choose mild. The only options are No Spicy, Regular Spicy or Extra Spicy. We upgraded to a combo, so for an additional $3, you get a drink & a side. The drinks, such as Passionfruit Green Tea & Yogurt Green Tea, are not watered down. As a side, the Seaweed is a bit too kelpy for me. On the other hand, the Beancurd/ Cucumber/ Woodear mix is tasty for an upcharge of $1.50. We ordered online for pickup. The food was not ready as promised even though we were more than 10 minutes "late," thus one star deduction for the delay. read more

Been meaning to try this place for a while and finally got around to it and I do not regret it! It is very nostalgic of my mom's home cooked meals especially the braised pork. Honestly braised anything is always delicious in my opinion and these are certainly no exception. For four girls we ordered two sizzling pots and a soy garlic fried chicken which was more than enough. The portions are reasonable and very filling. The pot was not sizzling when we got it though but I appreciate the idea. Would come back to satisfy my asian food craving when home cooked meals are not available. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors. I've seen sizzling pot restaurants, but never had the urge to try them. We ended up going for family Sunday dinner. They do offer dine in, but the restaurant is quite tiny with only like 4 tables, they do get a bunch of take out orders. I like that their menu has more than clay pots. We did order the Dan Dan mien, It was more on the soupy side. Great flavor and spice, but a tad salty. The sizzling pots were quite tasty and pairs great with rice. We ordered the fried chicken nuggets when they were on promotion and they were not and tender. I also would recommend their yogurt green tea! We got 3 rounds of drinks, so good. read more

This review is way over due. I've been visiting this place for almost a year. Who writes a review after visiting it 10+ times later? Well, sometimes I do that just to give the place a fair score. You never know as everyone and every place has an off day. To be honest I wasn't too fond of the place on my initial visit because I have never had braised chicken and I thought the service stunk during its soft opening when the outside sign still reflected the previous restaurant at this location. On the initial visit I had the Dan Dan noodle (3.5 stars) which I found it slightly above average while my wife had their braised chicken. After that initial visit I always had their sizzling pots with pork ribs then beef brisket while always dabbling on the chicken my wife always orders here. In fact after trying the wildly popular Yang's Braised Chicken that is when I realized why she said this place is way better than the Yang's-- less oil, more meats, better flavor, and actual vegetables. Come to think of it, I remembered not writing about this place because I only recommend this place to people who asked me where to go for braised chicken. This is definitely by far the best braised chicken place in LA or maybe even SoCal. The inside is super small so keeping this a secret is a must. I'm counting on you, fellow Yelpers. read more

Love meal sets. Small menu, but everything is great especially the chicken stew. Portion is big as well. I can come here every week.

I don't remember the previous establishment that they replaced and as one frequenting this plaza whenever in LA, I find this rather surprising. But I did notice Ikka Sizzling Pot shortly after their sign went up and had made a mental bookmark to visit them at next opportunity. What I found was immediately to my liking. It is a very casual dining spot with a straightforward menu and style of service. You enter, place an order, pay your tab, sit yourself and wait for your food to arrive. As the menu is relatively simple and mainly their signature noodles and braised dishes with the usual optional sides (to further amp your meal as well as boost their ticket sales), it makes for a good and really quick no-fuss meal for anyone with limited time such as working professionals on the clock. While stews are relatively easy to make, it is the time factor (low and slow) that turns most people away from dabbling with it at home (considering most people do not have the time nor inclination to do so especially when already hungry). So having a spot that specializes in it and making it pretty darn tasty, it almost just beckons you to skip any effort at home and come here instead for a quick fix. I would be lying if I said it's been a while since a meal made me happy. But it is true that it has been indeed a while where a relatively cheaply priced stew with the amount of ingredients given made me as happy as I was dining here. Enough to override the intense conversation with my little sister and more than enough to leave a lingering food-joy after. So why not 5 stars some who read may ask? Braised pork trotters was awesome BUT my side of karaage chicken not only came out overcooked but tasted of old oil, which really took away from the experience. Maybe I'll try the sides again the next time. Maybe I just won't. Either or - I'll definitely be back for the stews again. read more

Food is good and great portions with combos. Really enjoy the meals here. Simple and tasty with good ingredients.

Gave Ikka Sizzling Pot a shot and was disappointed. My hubby and I drove from one side of 626 (Monterey Park) to the other side of 626 (Arcadia) in traffic to try this restaurant. We looked at their menu online and was so excited to try their Chicken Sizzling pot and House Special Dan Dan Mien. When we arrived, we looked at the menu and were ready to order. After we order the server then tells us the House Special Dan Dan Noodles are discontinued (even though it was on their menu). Then he tells us there is Beef Noodles Soup with Brisket and Beef Noodle Soup but then Beef Noodle Soup with Brisket is sold out. Super disappointing. We relooked at the menu and had to refigure out what to order. FOOD: Braised Yellow Boneless Chicken (no combo)- The order comes with a bowl of rice on the side. The sizzling pot flavor was good but the portion were very skimpy. 1 broccoli, 2 slices of mushroom and the chicken. Perhaps the Chicken seemed little because it was boneless. The more I ate the spicier it was, and we ordered regular. The spicy options are between no spicy, regular spicy, and extra spicy. There is a combo option where you get a side and a drink. Beef Noodle Soup- the soup was light and brothy side. There wasn't anything special about the beef noodle soup just that the soup is different than what I'm used to. PRICE: The price is average. SERVICE: We got greeted and seated as soon as we walked in. The server was really helpful in answering our questions since it was our first time. PARKING: There is plenty of parking in a big plaza. It is located in the same plaza as Arcadia Supermarket and Simbala. I'm not in a hurry to go back if I did not have a reason, I'd definitely order something different. read more

Ask tip in a very rude way for this self-service style cafeteria. The food is good, flavor is tasty, and portion is large enough for one person. However, the boss or manager makes my experience here not so great. We did not give tip this time, as we pay at the counter, no water refill requested, no extra service asked. If you ask for tip, that's fun. However, he should not ask for it with an attitude. The manager said," if you are in the US, you must give tip, if you are in China, you don't need to." Oh, That's irritating, and definitely not true. I would like to let you know. Giving tip is a traditional custom, but it is not a legally required enforceable requirement. It's completely voluntary. And by customer only. If we feel there is no service, then we don't think you deserve an extra tip except the dish price. Besides of that. That's not a professional and good way to treat your customer, especially for long-term. People always can switch to To-Go order to avoid tip. But we still chose to dine in, even if there is almost no service, and we always gave tip before beside this time. You should pay attention to the sentences you chose, as we are not paying to buy the uncomfortable feeling. And that irritating words of course make you do not deserve a tip, Giving tip is only for good service received and should not be taken as granted wherever in the world! Never came again. read more

Love this place. Always fresh and delicious. My fave is the pork trotters and my hubby loves the braised chicken.

I came here on a Sunday night around 6 pm and it was a full house so I would recommend coming here earlier! I ordered the hot and sour noodles while my boyfriend ordered their braised chicken dish. Both were delicious, although I've had better hot & sour noodles elsewhere. For the price of around $8 for a HUGE bowl of noodles, I was happy with it. The noodles had that chewy texture I love and included toppings like minced pork and corn which other spots don't usually include. The braised chicken rice was really tender and flavorful. It was very satisfying eating the sauce with the rice as well. I really enjoyed this place and will probably be craving it soon! read more

Giving this place 3.5 stars. The service was nice, the food was nice, the seating area was nice. However, there wasn't anything special that jumped out at me to push it over to 4 stars. We dined on a Sunday night and the place was quiet - not always a good sign, but there was a constant flow of other customers. We ordered the N3 - Rice Noodle with Beef and Tomato Soup ($9.80) - the soup was thicker than I'd like it and unfortunately there's no spicy option. B2 - Braised Beef Brisket ($11.99) was on point! The beef could have been a little more tender, but the dish had a really good flavor. I asked for it to be spicy, but could've gone for extra spicy (I can't handle too much, but spicy was not spicy enough). B1 - Braised Chicken ($9.99) - was not as great as the beef dish, but still had some good flavors. H2 - Hot Star Popcorn Chicken ($4.99) - wow that's delicious! Crispy on the outside and tender inside. The portions were decent, we had some left overs but that's cause we didn't want to over stuff ourselves. You place your order at the front and they'll drink it to your table. Check in on WeChat and you get 10%! I enjoyed this place and would return, but it was missing a few elements like the spicy level, noodle dish not being a hit for me, meat could be a little more tender. I'll give it another shot and maybe my rating will go up when I order it to the way I like. read more

Ohhh. This place is a bomb. I used to love yang's braised chicken, so when I found out about this place i thought it's just another copy of Yang's.
