Home is wherever @lizmodernasian is!…read more Thank you Liz & Howard for your unmatched hospitality, unreal flavors, and Michelin-level quality every time. We came hungry and started with steaming edamame, dumplings, and tempura shrimp (the holy trinity) The cashew chicken & veggies is my go-to lighter option - but this visit, the steamed bao buns stole the show - melt-in-your-mouth perfection. Liz even brought out seaweed so we could roll our own sushi - something I wouldn't have thought to order...now I'm fully obsessed! The dish that officially tops my list though: Liz's Lo Mein Noodles combo with chicken, pork, & beef. I've never tasted anything like it - dangerously addictive. 10/10 experience. Always. And strolling around the beautiful @scottsdalequarter afterward is the perfect way to end the evening. Counting down til my next visit!

I came to Sizzle Korean BBQ in Phoenix because of its excellent Yelp reviews, and I can definitely…read moresee why people enjoy the atmosphere. It's located in an outdoor shopping center, and although the restaurant is on the smaller side, the interior design and decor reminded me of many of the Korean BBQ restaurants back home in California. It felt cozy and authentic. This is not an all-you-can-eat restaurant. We ordered the Small Beef Combo, 2 side of rice, Korean dumplings, and the strawberry basil lemonade. The only unlimited items are the traditional Korean side dishes. We were served five different banchan along with two salads. While they didn't bring every available side dish, the ones we received were actually very good. Unfortunately, the service is what ruined the experience for me. Our server, Huy, was also serving my friends' family seated at the table next to us. They had ordered the same Small Beef Combo. When Huy started grilling our brisket, he accidentally dropped one of our slices of meat onto the floor. He paused, clearly noticed it, and so did everyone at our table. However, there was no apology, no acknowledgment, and no offer to replace the piece. He simply continued cooking as if nothing had happened. A few moments later, he placed a Prime Ribeye on our grill. I told him we hadn't ordered that cut--it belonged to my friends' table. He then picked up the entire plate of raw ribeye from our grill and transferred it to their table. Even though they were our friends sitting right next to us, that didn't seem like proper food handling. When I mentioned the mix-up, he simply said the kitchen had made a mistake. Again, there was no apology. Toward the end of the meal, it seemed like Huy realized I was unhappy, but he never addressed either incident. The missing piece of brisket wasn't a significant financial loss, and the food itself was good. My disappointment was with the service. Mistakes happen in every restaurant. What matters is acknowledging them, apologizing, and making a reasonable effort to make things right. A simple apology and replacing the dropped piece of meat would have completely changed my impression. Because of the service, I don't plan on returning, which is unfortunate because the food and atmosphere were otherwise enjoyable.

We were filled with welcoming entrance as we walked in on the way to our table near the chef kitchen area. The restaurant is set for ordering to share which we like, great way to try many things on the menu! We enjoyed it all! We also ordered filet mignon (somehow I didn't get picture of it) and it was prepared perfectly, very tender it almost melts in your mouth, the charred greens were delicious as well. Vietnamese coffee donuts is delicious, we loved the Vietnamese coffee caramel like sauce, we used it over the dark chocolate ice cream (perfect combo) as there was plenty leftover after we all ate the donuts.

We happened to visit during Lunar New Year and were genuinely surprised and delighted with a beautiful gift bag from Rémy Martin, along with a thoughtfully crafted cocktail highlighting the brand. Such a classy, unexpected touch that immediately set the tone for the evening. Our server, Megan, was an absolute standout--warm, knowledgeable, and perfectly attentive without ever feeling intrusive. She elevated the entire experience. Every dish we ordered hit the mark. The edamame was outstanding, topped with perfectly crispy garlic that was savory and salty without even a hint of bitterness. The smashed cucumber was refreshing, and the green papaya salad was beautifully balanced, featuring a perfectly jammy salted egg that tied everything together. We were thrilled to see that the brown butter crab hand roll is now offered as a sushi roll--still just as indulgent and delicious. The vegetable lo mein was a surprise highlight, deeply flavorful and comforting, and the crab fried rice was packed with large, sweet pieces of crab that felt truly generous. My husband ordered the Sympathizer cocktail, which arrived with a stunning smoked presentation tableside--dramatic, aromatic, and absolutely delicious. From the thoughtful Lunar New Year touches to the exceptional food and service, this meal was memorable from start to finish. We've been visiting the JW for years, and thanks to Kembara, we now have yet another reason to keep coming back.

It was around 11:45am on Saturday and there were a couple other tables in the restaurant. It was clean and the 2 workers we saw gave us a friendly greeting upon entering. There was music playing at a respectable level so that you could hear it, but still have a conversation without having to raise your voice. The young lady that served us was polite and made sure to check on us a couple times during our lunch. I can appreciate that! Food came out in a reasonable timeframe. My son got the Miso Ramen and I got the Tonkatsu Ramen, and then we shared a tempura shrimp roll. Each item was phenomenal! The ramen came out hot and had great flavor and the sushi roll was delish!! I think my son and I have found a new spot for our lunch dates! Highly recommend!

Ended up placing a pretty big order and for the quality of food I'd have to say it was great value. Ended I ended up getting a beef bulgogi bento which came with 2 pieces of gyoza and California roll. Beef bulgogi had great flavor and good quality meat. There have been some places I've gone to that have horrible quality meat which end up having to toss out pieces due to being unchewable. Only thing was the CA roll pieces were really thin, almost like it was a typical 1 piece slice into half to count at "two." Also ordered deep fried gyoza for the kids, which they loved. We also got a beef udon which was good. Wifey ended up ordering a dragon roll which was good as well. Also got a couple bowls, salmon and beef bulgogi, which everyone also enjoyed. Overall a great little place when you need something quick to pick up. Variety of menu was great because it had a little something for everyone in the fam when you're wanting a mix of Korean and Japanese food. Service was quick considering how big of an order we made.

For a starter, we got the Korean cauliflower, which was pretty tasty. It was crispy and had the just the right kick, which balanced the sweet sesame -soy glaze. For my main, I ordered the pad thai. It wasn't the best I've had, but it was passable. My husband ordered the dan dan noodles and while not entirely traditional, I definitely enjoyed it way more than the pad thai and would get it again. We got our son the kids lo mein with chicken which comes with 2 sides - broccoli and brown rice. The kids meal was pretty substantial!!!
