Ordered: - Yellow braised beef finger meat (5/5): Got this dish regular spicy and absolutely loved it! Meat was tender with mild chew and was a huge flavor bomb especially with the sauce, rice, and peppers mixed together. Only bad thing about the dish is that I added on some baby sausages but it's essentially 1 dollar per mini sausage so that didn't feel too worth. - Yellow Braised pork ribs (4/5): My gf ordered this no spicy and also really enjoyed it. The potatoes absorb the sauce super well and the pork ribs were pretty tender and easy to eat too. We got a cold mixed bean curd salad with this which was pretty worth - the cucumbers and wood ear mushrooms really cut through the heavy flavors. Ironically the bean curd was our least favorite ingredient since it was too hard and tough to chew. Overall (4/5): Solid comfort food that's super warming. Restaurant itself is pretty cold inside and everything is pretty efficient with the QR ordering system. Service is ok - not super friendly but easy and quick to wave down if you need anything. Only thing to note is that it seems like portions of their menu are often not available so be warned if you have your eye on something in particular - it might be good to call ahead and make sure they're serving it on that day. Parking in the lot can definitely be tight and busy as there's a lot of good food and boba spots in the same plaza.
We order the ribs and chicken pot and both were great. It comes with rice. The side cucumber dish delicious because it was not overly acidic or sour.
I tried this restaurant today and I loved it. The menu is simple but tastes good and is a little bit spicy for me. The service was great. I ordered 3 dishes- 2 chicken and a pork rib. My favorite was the pork rib with no spicy. The portion was decent. Each dish came with a small bowl of rice. The restaurant is small but clean.
I've always seen this place whenever I stop by for Chicha, but I'm so glad I was able to finally try it! I brought my dad here since it's probably something he would like. Walking in, it's a very casual joint with a few seatings, but definitely enough. Especially how quick they serve the food here. This restaurant is also a bit more modern, so it's may be more technologically advance for Chinese elders. You order through the phone and checkout on the phone; however, I'm sure the server will help order too since they're proficient with Chinese. My dad ordered a braised pork rib bowl and I ordered a boneless yellow chicken with medium spicy. I wasn't sure what to expect, since it was my first time trying this. Our bowls were served quick and each entree comes with a bowl of rice. I only really tried my own, which was the yellow chicken and it was pretty good! It has a herbally taste to it, but it's quite flavorful. Portions are great as well. I tired the pork and it was really soft and tender, my dad really enjoyed this one a lot. We will visit here next time for a quick and easy meal.
我在这里有一次非常愉快的体验！环境干净舒适，工作人员都很友好，也很有耐心。食物/服务质量超出了我的预期，分量足，味道很棒。价格也算合理，性价比不错。 总之，这是一家值得再来的店/地方，下次还会带朋友一起来。
I come visit here all the time! My favorite is the Yellow Braised Pork Ribs. It comes with potato and broccoli. The whole pot is seasoned well and made perfectly. The meat is soft so it falls right of the bones. The potatoes are steamed well and flavorful! I also recommend the shredded potatoes which is a cold dish; it is slightly spicy and crunchy. Recommend this as a great local restaurant!
I've seen Ikka many times since it's in a popular plaza, but I never tried it until recently. One night, when I couldn't decide on what to eat (the real struggle, iykyk), I decided to give it a shot. Came around 6:30 PM, and it was busy, but I snagged a small table in the corner--solo diner advantage! The concept is simple: they serve a variety of braised items in sizzling stone pots. I ordered the braised chicken and intestines pot, medium spicy, along with a side dish of cucumber, woodear, and tofu skin. The side was refreshing, but nothing special. When the pot arrived, it was sizzling hot, and the sauce was delicious--savory with just the right amount of spice. The chicken was tender, and the intestines were perfectly cooked. This is definitely the kind of dish that begs for a couple of bowls of rice! Overall, I was pleasantly surprised and can't wait to come back to try another pot. I'll definitely be adding this to my rotation.
The pots all came sizzling hot! My favourite was the chicken and pork intestines pot, since the chicken was juicy and the pork intestines were not smelly at all. Really liked beef and potato pot also~ the potato slices were very flavourful. The lamb pot was good as the lamb was not overly gamey. The golden soup with beef was decent, but it was a bit too salty for my liking and only had a few slices of beef. The side dishes were good~ we liked the shredded potato and seaweed. Restaurant was clean and service was efficient.
What a neat new find! We got the popular Yellow Braised Chicken, as well as the new Xingjiang Golden Tomato with Pork, which is perfect for folks who like tomato. Both were delicious, and a nice combo of contrasting flavors. We look forward to being back!
One of my spot to go to around here in San Gabriel They serve the food fast. It's delicious!
What I would describe as a modern clean hole-in-the-wall. Ikka is essentially a comfort Chinese kitchen. The braised meats, soups, and environment is exactly what it feels like to eat at a Chinese home in a good way. Braised chicken - Star of the show for us. The flavor was intense to the right amount, and the chicken was not dry. Eating this with the liquid over rice is one of the best flavors! Pork trodders - if you like fatty texture and not scared to eat something different, the pork trodders were delicious. Similar braise to the chicken but has a completely different texture and taste. This is more of a gelatin fatty texture and you get that stronger pork taste. Tomato soup - Delicious and they don't cheap out on the toppings. Good amount of different types of noodles inside and other toppings that makes this soup great to balance out other dishes umami braised flavor so that you can continue to more. I highly recommend getting a soup like this so that you don't feel like the flavor is overwhelming. Last but not lease, service was surprisingly really good for these types of restaurants. No complaints! read more
Whenever we want a solid rice with protein dish, Ikka Sizzling Pot comes to mind. The Yellow Braised Chicken is a consistent stand out, with a flavorful sauce that goes great on rice. Just scan the QR code and order on the phone for convenience. Located in the heart of SGV, there's plenty of milk tea spots next door and the plaza has other nice restaurants. Makkee Dessert is also opening soon. Free underground parking available read more
4 stars Another years-long bookmarked restaurant tried! This is what my mom and I got: Braised Yellow Chicken ($14.99) no spicy: This is chicken and mushroom braised in what I'm guessing is a ginger-soy sauce. It was quite good and probably meant to be eaten with rice b/c it was kinda salty. 4/5 stars Braised Pig Trotter ($15.99) no spicy: Frankly, I had zero expectations that this would turn out well b/c I've been disappointed too many times at too many restaurants before. HOWEVER, this was very well done. This sauce is richer due to the collagen and has a nice 5-spice aroma to it. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a porky collagen bomb. 4.5/5 stars This restaurant relies primarily on a QR code menu. You just order from your phone. Afterwards, they'll give you the check. I think this is a bottle neck for the business b/c people like my mom wouldn't know what to do with a QR code. So, it would be nice to have a paper menu or pictures to point. Otherwise, ordering wasn't too bad. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and had plenty of leftovers to take home. read more

Great foods with amazing service. Attentive and accommodating. I ordered a few new dishes today such as Sichuan spicy fish and tomato crispy pork. I also ordered a lamb brisket as well. Restaurant was clean and neat. Earned my 5 stars ratings for sure! read more

My wife loves hot pot and various soup type dishes, but we saw that this "sizzling pot" restaurant was slightly different than a standard hot pot establishment. I came here with my wife for dinner to see what it was like. The AC was not on fully, so it was definitely a bit on the warmer side. It's a small hole in the wall restaurant and the service was decent. I ended up getting the boneless chicken and added a sous vide egg. My wife got the braised chicken with pork intestines. The chicken was quite tasty and the sauce was nice. The pot came with a big bowl of rice. The sous vide egg that I paid extra for, definitely complimented the chicken and the rice. The serving size was just enough for me, and I did not have any leftovers. Overall it's a solid restaurant, nothing amazing but definitely worth a try. read more
You can always count on me to order pork trotters whenever it's on the menu, and @ikka_sizzling_pot has a deliciously quick version, where they braise all of their meat in clay pots and are ready in only 5-10 minutes! In addition to the tasty flavor, pork trotters also provide you with collagen (benefits include maintaining healthy skin, relieving joint paint, and contributing to muscle gain) Cold side dishes and soups are also a must to balance with the very hot (temperature wise) main entrees. Bonus: spice levels can be customized for their sizzling dishes We had: Bone-In Yellow Braised Chicken, Yellow Braised Pork Trotter (bone-in), Cold Mixed Shredded Potato & Carrot, Cold Tribute Vegetables, Tremella & Pear Soup read more

My wife and I were visiting San Gabriel from Northern California, looking for regional Chinese dishes we hadn't tried before. On a recent trip to Southeast Asia, we had a long layover in Shanghai, where we sampled local dishes that completely changed the way we thought about Chinese cuisine. We realized there was so much more depth and variety than we had ever experienced, and we hoped to find something similar here in Southern California. San Gabriel did not disappoint -- the area is packed with incredible restaurants showcasing different Chinese regional specialties. We chose Ikka Sizzling Pot because it reminded me of the flavors and dishes we had fallen in love with in Shanghai, and I was hoping to relive that excitement. We ordered the chicken with intestines, the lamb, and the pork ribs. Normally, when dining at Chinese restaurants in Northern California, I bring my own Thai bird's eye chilies because no matter how spicy I ask for, it's rarely enough. But not at Ikka. The food was packed with bold flavors and just the right amount of heat -- enough to work up a good sweat. I also noticed a light numbing sensation in my mouth that took the experience to another level. That's when it hit me: this was the famous Sichuan peppercorn that I had only heard about from food explorers like Sonny and Mark on YouTube during their trips to China. I've had mala hotpot and Sichuan-style dishes up north, but I've never truly experienced that signature peppercorn-induced numbing satisfaction -- until now. My wife and I finished all three dishes and couldn't help but laugh (and feel a little embarrassed) when we looked around and saw other couples sharing just one dish. But hey, don't judge us -- it was that good. Truly a life-changing food experience. If you're in San Gabriel and looking for authentic, bold, and exciting flavors, Ikka is a must-try. read more
My husband and daughter love love love their tomato noodles. I had their beef brisket, pork knuckle, and stewed chicken - thought the portion, packaging, style, and taste all gave a fast food/chain restaurant vibe. It's aight and probably would never crave it. read more

This restaurant is located in a plaza in San Gabriel. I really like the food. Although I don't eat much spicy food, it's still doable if I remove the chili oil from the hot pot. Actually, I didn't expect the hot pot to be this spicy but the food here is very delicious. The service was very nice. My server was very friendly. They also have Vitamilk (soy milk that is easy to find in Asia). read more

I tried the new Spicy Angus Beef and liked it. The beef is tender and juicy. The spice has a steady kick but does not burn. The sauce is savory and a little sweet. Peppers and onions add crunch and color. Each bite feels balanced and clean. The portion is solid for the price. It works with rice or noodles. Service was quick and the dish arrived hot. If you want a simple, tasty, slightly spicy meal, this is an easy pick. I recommend it. read more

Great, modern decor with ample parking like anywhere in the SGV. Service is friendly and both in English and Mandarin. Also really good place to take non Asian friends due to individual portions with flavors they could be familiar with. I ordered a braised pork combo and a sour beef pot. The combos include a corn egg drop soup and a choice of side dishes. Both orders (combo or no) come with a bowl of rice. The braised pork was pretty good; it came with potatoes and broccoli, and I think the meat portions are sufficient for the average person. However, it does seem like something I can make at home, but doesn't every person occasionally say or at least have that though when eating out? The sour and spicy beef pot was really good - it had a pretty authentic taste to it. If you're craving a sour and spicy dish, this place has it at a good price. The food came really fast, I mean within 5-10 minutes tops. I honestly have no complains about this place - treat it like a tasty pot, but with braised meats in a clay pot instead of a hot pot. This is a great place for a quick bite (both lunch and dinner), with decent menu price to portion ratio and friendly service. read more
Ikka Sizzling Pot is tucked away in a plaza, and it's easily missed unless you live around the area. Although I would classify this as a hidden gem, there are two features that I didn't enjoy: 1) Communication was mostly in Mandarin, and I never heard English spoken. Be aware of this during your visit. I had to order four different times because each item I tried to order was "sold out" but I wasn't told until a few minutes after I placed each order. (So ordering took maybe 15 minutes in total of back-and-forth.) 2) I overheard conversation that one of the "sold out" items was not in fact sold out when another table ordered it... I ordered a Beef Slice with Golden Soup along with complimentary shredded potato & carrot and cold mixed seaweed. The complimentary sides were crispy, but the sour, vinegary taste wasn't too enjoyable. Compared to most, the crispy texture was impressive; the taste was alright. The entree was served with an egg drop soup side (tasty!) and rice sprinkled with black sesame seeds. The rice was luscious, and the beef very tender. The soup erred on the saltier side, but I'm glad I was able to take it home to water down. I enjoyed the various sides and spices, and it tasted better when watered down. read more
Why does this restaurant have to be so far away from where I live? I would be a happy man if they have a branch in West LA because the quality and taste of the food from Ikka Sizzling Pot is just impeccable ! The service has always been great! Your food is served rather quickly, and the cleanliness standard is great! The place is also cozy but spacious! The Food: - Boneless Yellow Braised Chicken Combo (10/10): I have ordered this dish on multiple occasions. All I know is that the diminishing marginal returns haven't kicked in, or perhaps it's that good ! The seasoning on the dish is immaculate! The meat texture is also cooked to perfection! I also liked how they added broccoli on the dish and there is an option to add an egg for an additional charge and I recommend that you consider adding it to your pot! - Golden Chili Rice Noodle (10/10): I enjoyed this just as much. The vegetables and meat they put in this bowl were plenty and the spice of the dish was a little spicy, but addictive! I also like their quail eggs and tofu skin! Overall, I really enjoyed the food here and would HIGHLY recommend anyone who likes sizzling pots. Not to mention, I thought their pricing was reasonable and parking was easy to find (it's free parking). read more

Came here for the first time with my mom. We ordered " Yellow Braised Chicken ( Bone-In) &. Yellow Braised Pork Ribs " Both are So delicious. Nice ambiance. Moreover we got a great service from Cherry. My mom was on wheelchair, she did open the door when we entering & exiting the restaurant. She provided my mom with warm drinking water even before my mom was about to ask for it. Will definitely go back to try another dishes:) read more

Really enjoyed the carrot potato side dish and the egg drop soup. The sizzling braised chicken dishes were pretty good. It was actually too much food - the egg drop soup, the potato carrot side, bowl of rice and braised chicken dish. Definitely could not finish it. But overall it was pretty good but nothing that will blow your mind. read more

It is so yummy! The food is so flavorful and delicious! Portions are a good size. I didn't finish mine but my husband did. Having my husband say it pretty good means something. The braising sauce is the the same in both dishes. The cucumber and woodear appetizer was really good. Though it would have been a little better if the tofu skin was a little bit more softer (But that is more preference). It was the favorite of the 2 appetizers we got. Overall try them out! It's yummy. read more
