Pork belly

Beautiful space with very nice decoration; helpful and attentive staff; nice food presentation and very practical Korean BBQ. Meat(s) & Kimchi(s) taste fabulous but too much MSG as after taste/results. Noise level (K-pop) is un-bearable as too loud and invasive.

Sizzle Korean BBQ Order the items ala carte and if you want to cook, then this is not the place for you. They actually cook for you, kind of nice for that person who always cooks and doesn't eat. Plus you learn how everything is suppose to be cooked the correctly. We had the Marinated Short Rib, Ribeye and the Beef Belly, Bibimbap, Steamed Egg and Rice. The Marinated Short Rib was bueno, wonderful, excellent, amazing, fine, superb, awesome, highly recommend. Meat quality is much higher than the other KBBQ that you cook your own food. The marinated meats are so good, highly recommend, they may need to change out the grill because of the marinate blackens the grill. Remember, this is Not an All You Can Eat

Came to sizzle for a girls lunch date with my daughter. It's been a while since our last time here. We had lunch a couple of hours ago. The place only had one other customer. At first I thought it was closed. So.. The food was good just like last time. It was so nice to sit down and immediately be provided a nice cold bottle of water. I didn't even order a drink because the water did not taste like other restaurants tap water. It was cold and refreshing.

Food's pretty good but not enough meat per bowl. Service was good though. We didn't go for the grilling coz we didn't feel like cooking. Bit pricey too.

Ban Chan

Absolutely had a blast celebrating our anniversary at Sizzle Korean BBQ in Desert Ridge! We dove into the beef combo: beef brisket (so juicy), boneless short rib (melt-in-your-mouth), marinated short rib (my personal MVP), and marinated thinly sliced beef (tender and packed with flavor). The combo also came with a warm, comforting kimchi stew that hit the spot--just the right amount of kick. We couldn't resist adding kimchi fried rice as a side--charred, crispy, and loaded with flavor. It paired perfectly with everything else, especially the Ban Chan (the little side dishes that are totally free and refillable!). The banchan was a showstopper--kimchi, pickled radish, crunchy veggies, and even some spicy bean sprouts. We kept asking for more! Between the sizzling grill action, the endless banchan, and the amazing food, it was a night to remember. Sizzle Korean BBQ is officially our new go-to spot for celebrations--or just a craving for some seriously delicious Korean BBQ!

Came here on a Saturday afternoon without a reservation & was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't packed out. The restaurant is in a huge plaza so parking wasn't too bad. The restaurant has an intimate feel, which I like since it is in a big shopping center. We did the 5 beef combo with an order of kimchi fried rice & everything was amazing. All the meats were seasoned well & the waitress made sure they were cooked to perfection. The fried rice was cooked well & the egg on top really enhanced the flavor. We also had the kimchi stew which I would absolutely recommend. We had the red bean ice cream dessert & it was my first time trying it, but I'm definitely a fan. Next time I'm in the area, I'll be coming back here.

Mango Ice Cream

I came by myself to this location and the service here was good. It's usually hard to solo done at a kbbq restaurant but I enjoyed it here. I ordered the beef tartare for starters. The beef was more on the frozen side but after a while, it did defrost and paired really well with the pear and cucumber. For an appetizer, the portion size was huge and the taste was very refreshing !! The sesame oil and dried seaweed sheets also helped tie the whole dish together. For the main entree, I ordered the hot spicy beef soup that came with a bowl of rice. There were also noodles inside the soup! The soup was very comforting and paired well with a soju drink. The soup is also deceivingly huge. Even after having to take the rest home, it still filled up a whole quart. For $15, that is super worth it. I ended the meal with a mango bing soo. No words needed. So sweet and refreshing.

They may be known for their great barbecue, but the desserts are out of this world. Best "Bing Soo" (shaved ice) ever!!! Strawberry, Mango and Sweet Red Bean. So refreshing and yummy!!!!!

Banchan and Marinated Prime Thinly Sliced Beef
Noelle A.

This is an Amazing Korean BBQ place! The food is super delicious and the restaurant is real nice and has a cool vibe to it! It was my first time here. Upon arrival, we were seated promptly. Our booth was comfortable. They played good music, but it wasn't too loud. We ordered 4 meats and they were all mouth watering: Prime Rib Eye, Pork Belly, Thinly Sliced Beef, and Short Ribs (Galbi). We were very happy with our selection. Everything was delicious but my top 2 were the Thinly Sliced Beef and Galbi. I loved the bit of saltiness in the thinly sliced beef. The banchan was very good. We also got the steamed egg (cooked to perfection) and Bulgogi with glass noodles (excellent). Our server, Daniel, was great! He cooked our food perfectly and was very helpful. He changed out our grill a few times, too. His service is 5 stars! I asked him what were his favorites and he liked the Galbi and Grilled Squid I believe it was. What I also really liked about this place was that it never got smoky inside or at our table. The restaurant was also pristine. I highly recommend this spot if you want good Korean bbq in Phoenix, Arizona. This was located in The District shopping center. We were so full that we walked it off while shopping.

My boyfriend found out about this place from a friend, and he was so excited to share that there was a KBBQ place for us to try together. I looked up the menu, and I immediately noticed how the quality of the meat looked top tier. As a note, it is also not all-you-can-eat (AYCE), so I would suggest doing the combos + ordering a la carte. It is great that your food still comes with some sides (if you order the meals or combo!) For dinner, we ordered the small beef combo with: beef brisket, ribeye, marinated short rib, marinated thinly sliced beef (bulgogi), and kimchi stew. We didn't order anything additional aside from two white rices, as well as soju (shoutout to the lychee soju and Peach ChuHai cocktail.) My favorite meats were the brisket and marinate short rib, but all of it was delicious. I would say it was the perfect amount of food for two people because I had to take deep breaths at the end of the meal. Our waitress was also a sweetheart. She was very patient and soft spoken! The workers cook the kbbq for you, by the way, so they're standing there as you're having conversation over dinner. She would leave to let the meat cook and to let us eat, so it is not overbearing or awkward at all. We do like the experience of cooking our own meat. Regardless, the food and alcohol was delicious, there was good customer service, and the place itself has a good amount of booths/tables and reminds me of KBBQ spots in San Diego.

It's been a while since I had a little BBQ and this wasn't a little. Ordered a small for two came with quality cuts, all you can eat yummy sides and our waiter was attentive in cooking the meat to perfection.

Beef combo for 2

Love that they cook the meat for you--no stress, just amazing food. Everything was perfectly grilled, the sides were endless, and the service was top-notch. The ambiance was fun and low key. Definitely my new go-to KBBQ spot.

No it is not. But think quality vs quantity. It is a bit pricy but it's located in a nice outdoor mall and the quality of food is authentic and delicious.

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.

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.
