Dessert was phenomenal, creamy shaved ice with mango was fantastic. There's not many options for Vegetarians, but if you're a meat eater, you'll definitely enjoy it. Loved the side dishes. My least favorite was the japchae since it's pretty salty and oily. read more

WOW what a disappointment. As a Korean myself, I was really bummed with my experience today. One of my two orders were incorrect, and the server made it sound like it was my fault (when she wrote down the wrong order). The seafood tofu stew that they served tasted off and the seafood pieces inside were NOT fresh. I'm really hoping that I don't get sick tonight. Also, the bathroom was absolutely DISGUSTING with poop everywhere on the floor and toilet. I stopped eating after seeing the bathroom and smelling the stench. When an establishment doesn't take care of the bathroom, it shows a lot aboutthe place. I wish I could support this place, but I will never be going back again. read more

Wow this Sizzle is not good anymore. The food used have good taste but now its all Dashida and black pepper and food is not good anymore. You can only eat BBQ meat because then they will not be cooking it for you. And tea is not refillable apparently they charge it based on how many hot water you added. My tea costs more than my actual meal. This is the first restaurant I have encountered who is not willing to give you refill on tea. I will never recommend this place again. read more

Fantastic place. Gets crowded quick so go early and beat the rush. If you a novice they will cook the food for you. A small combo is sufficient for two people especially with the unlimited side dishes you get. read more

This place is just like any other Korean BBQ place. Ran by cheapskate mentality and mindset. Let's say you order a beef combo for $76 and Pork combo for $65. Both of these combos supposed to come with their own kimchi stew and steamed egg if you choose so. But since you and your other guest are sitting in the same table... they only bring one of each instead of two. They charge you $76 for beef combo and $65 for pork combo but only bring one kimchi stew. This place is a damn joke. Every Korean restaurant has a charge up the butt mentality...but cheap out on portion size. Please be different and maybe you'll stop pissing people off. What a joke. read more

Sizzle Korean Barbeque - Beef Combo - Korean Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Brought the family over to try a new place, not the best experience. When they sat us down, we asked for a window seat. But we were told there was only 1 waitress today so they want to keep us close. Fine, don't want to make extra work if they are undermanned, then the next customer walked in, they put them at the window seat, WTF. The food is so so, much more expensive than other Korean place we tried. I guess the extra price came from the extra service since the waitress will cook the meat for you. But here is the problem, there was only one waitress the day we went. She went off to take care of other customer while our bugolgi cook and the meat was charred while she is still serving other table. If you are going to charge us extra for service you should provide the service, if you are too undermanned to do it then take the price down. Also this place nickle and dime you for everything else. 2 dollars for a bowl of rice, another 2 dollar more if you want refill. Same for the steamed egg, its all you can eat at other place but extra if you want more. The shaved ice was good though. read more

For cream barbecue I really like this one it's a little small but I kind of enjoy it because it's cozy the staff is always super helpful and they anticipate your needs before you're requiring a grill and they always make accommodations if necessary. read more

Great Korean BBQ, really cool atmosphere. Pretty expensive but you pay for quality in this place. Really great selection of meats to grill up. You can do it yourself or the staff will do it for you. Either way is cool and it's great place to take a date! read more

Sizzle Korean Barbeque - Berkshire Black Pork Belly, Marinated Prime Thinly Sliced Beef Bulgogi, and Banchan - Korean Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The price is very expensive considering that everything is a la carte (more expensive than other a la carte kbbq places overall) but the quality of meats is VERY good (better than AYCE places). Portion is just right though. The server cooked everything for us as well, which was nice...she did a great job, and the meats all had that wonderful charcoal flavor, but we're still so tender and juicy. Overall look of the restaurant was cute too, makes for a cute date night place. Other than the price, would recommend for high-end kbbq! read more

We have been coming to this establishment for four years. Over the past year - prices have sky rocketed - service has declined - and flavors diminished. Just dropped $185 for three people and they ran out of bulgogi - so we ended up with another cut of meat just quickly marinated. Horrible. Spend your money somewhere else. This place has lost its own appeal. read more

This place is great, Scottsdale (and Arizona) needs more places like this! Authentic Korean BBQ - they grill the meat for you, right in front of you, to order. The direct vents above each grill are great, and the place isn't greasy at all (like some Korean BBQ places we've been to). Loved all the banchan (pre-meal tapas), and the dishware (metal bowls for banchan, thin metal chopsticks) was authentic and what we saw in Korea. We got the large beef combo for 3 of us, and loved the variety of meat: the boneless short rib and (surprisingly) the outside skirt meat were our favorites - both were thick, juicy, and perfectly cooked! Can't wait to go back soon! read more

Sizzle Korean Barbeque - Large beef combo (for 3-4 people) - Korean Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Almost your typical Korean bbq joint in that each table has a grill. You have a choice to cook your own meat or your server will cook it for you and also it is not all-you-can-eat like other Korean BBQ restaurants. The portion was good though although the price was a little high. My GF and I thought the meats were very high quality so thought it was worth the price. My only disappointment was the sauce. Really wasn't a fan and was relieved that 3 of our 4 meat portions were well marinated. Really nice place with fantastic meat cuts but we'll probably stick to Manna Korean BBQ since they're about half the price and give you all you can eat with a wider selection. read more

I am visiting my sister in Phoenix. We stopped at this Korean BBque before I am heading home to Vegas. The place is tiny but very personable. We had not visited this place before. My sister, my Godmother and I sat down and here starts all of the small taster bowls of appetizers that is included with our meals. We have olives mushrooms soaked with wine sweet vinegar, salads, tofu, chili sauce, small bowls of potato salad, vegetable the works. We order. I order Silk Tufu seafood soup. I work hard to find the perfect amount of seafood and taste. My soup came and I shared with my family. It was lightly spicy, full bodied with garlic and the meal came with rice. I saw this meal on a table and asked the manager what was on the other table. Thr manager tells me what it is and off I order. Fabulous food. My Godmother and sister order Bbque beef with 3 types of different types of marinated beef. The waiter cooked on the grill in front of us. To all of our taste The service was great, the food was epic and the price for my soup was reasonable. My Godmother, sister and their food was 64$ for two. Ouch. A bit speedy. But we all paid and enjoyed our meal and it was fabulous. This would be a place I would visit again. . read more

Overpriced Korean barbecue that, anywhere else, is cheaper and more authentic. they are definitely charging you a fine dining experience fee and that's great if you've got a sugar daddy. I went here with family on two occasions, the meat is savory but some cuts are cheap, chewy, and hard to swallow. The servers are not very helpful but we were happy that a dish that was *not good at all* was able to be replaced by another. Overall, I'd only come here if you've got the bucks to spend for authentic food that's easily findable in the Asian district in Mesa. read more

During peak this place tend to have a bit of a wait. We like to go a little early to beat the crowd. The staff is buzzing around and always helpful. The meat is great quality. If you are in the area, we recommend this place if you are jonesing for delicious Korean bbq. read more

Fantastic cuisine. Better than anything I've had in Korea Town NY. I had the Bulgogi BBQ and the meat is so tender and flavorful. Side of dumplings and you'll walk out stuffed. With your meal comes 2 salads, 1 egg custard, 6 Korean little apps along with several sauces and salts. Get a crowded FAST. The space is nice and the grilling stations perfect. read more

Favorite Korean BBQ! High quality meat and great customer services. The restaurant is always clean and has a nice ambiance.

I have been here before, multiple times. I did give the restaurant a 5 star review due to fresh meat quality and good customer service. However, tonight's experience was very frustrating and disappointing. I called and checked ahead before I came. The guy answered the phone, informing us last call would be done by 10:30pm. We rushed to the place since we were craving for KBBQ. We arrived at the store at 10:15pm. The male server (with glasses and a man bun) told us that "there was a lot of preparations and we decided to close earlier tonight". I would not be frustrated if the guy answered the phone, telling me that they close earlier today. The 1 star review tonight is for the lack of communications between the employees and also, giving out false information to guests. Hopefully, this is not happening again. read more

I have been to many Korean BBQ dining experiences (AZ, CA, and in Hong Kong). I found their whole concept confusing (read on). We waited about 20 minutes and was greeted by the host. We sat in the grilling section. The table was already set up with side dishes & salad. It came with a free steamed egg. We started eating sides then server came by. Apparently, the grill seating section required 2 meat orders or combo with no exception (no where did I see that and we were not informed). My friend didn't want to eat meat. Then we were told there is a non-grilled seating section option. The server indicated that the host should have asked us. We don't recall the host mentioning anything at all. Absolutely confusing! Finally, the server allowed us just order one meat selection. Normally, the server just cut the meat and not grills the meat for you. The server was standing around grilling it, I see why the high prices. I rather grill it myself, that is the true Korean BBQ experience. The constant interruption with the server grilling the meat was annoying. Can't really have a conversation. read more

Server was great but my problem is the 2 managers who are working there. I felt like I was racially profiled. There was no line when we got in but the male manager decided to put me and my friend at a table nearest the restrooms. As if I am not a paying customer. Then when I told the female manager she agrees to put us to another table but told us to bring our own plates because it is a waste. I still gave a good tip just because of the server but I hope these 2 managers could get a grip of themselves and don't treat people that way. Don't do that to your customers. Don't be bad examples to your staff. read more

Seriously disappointed with this place. We went to Sizzle on 5/28/2021 for dinner and ordered 3 servings of KBBQ. The meat had so much fat on it, it was literally impossible to eat. You're basically paying for inedible food. When we asked the waitress about the meat, she just said "theyre all like that". There was no apology or anything. The waitress was also extremely inattentive - she didn't come check on our table to even refill waters and completely undercooked the meat. We won't be coming back or recommending this place to anyone. read more

The grilling was done for us. I haven't decided if I like it better that way but the meats were tender and tasty. I've had better banchan and also had better Korean BBQ but have not been to every place in town yet to say which one is best for value, taste, experience. Enjoyed our time here but ready to explore other places. Great for dates. Place is more upscale than the typical BBQ house. read more

We bring all of our friends here. It's always a good experience. I can't recommend this place enough.

I always love Kbbq! I searched on Yelp to see what's new around here that I haven't try. So this place spotted my eye and thought I'd try it out. I love how you walk in and you don't smell the food even though they're cooking on the table. It wasn't that busy when we're there so we got seated right away. Service was very nice. We ordered the prime boneless short rib. It look small in the picture but the waiter said it would be good for 2 people just depends how hungry we are. So we decided to pick that instead of a combo which it have a little bit more meat. And we also ordered the tofu soup and rice on the side. The meat came out and the waiter asked how we like our steak cook. We were confused but whatever... we told him medium rare. So he start cooking it in front of us, which we never had this done before. Usually we would cook it ourselves, so it was nice and interesting. He cooked it perfectly the way we wanted, it was amazing! The waiter was right, it doesn't look much but with all the side dishes that comes with, it's actually very filling. Overall, I love the environment and the settings. It is a bit pricey compare to other Kbbq places that I've been to. Too bad it's not all you can eat, but the quality of the meat definitely make the difference. read more

I've been in Cali long enough to appreciate good Korean BBQ, and Scottsdale hasn't been a great place to get it. So I was more than intrigued when a heralded place opened in Desert Ridge of all places. Walking in, everything smells and looks right - sizzling meat and grills at every table. For a party of 2 on a weekday night, we had about a 30 minute wait. Luckily the buzzer gave us half off beers at Nori while we wait! So we sit down, spread of side dishes ready for us. We opt for sharing the beef course for 2 - you have multiple options, but galbi and bulgogi are a must! We also had the kimchi fried rice and seafood pancake too. Kimchi fried rice was great with the egg, and seafood pancake did have protein inside - though it felt a little too uniform for me. This place is very newbie friendly, because they cook everything for you. EVERYTHING. On the one hand, it's convenient, but if you know what you're doing you enjoy cooking it yourself. Also weird having long conversations with your server right there. Kind of felt like discount Benihana. Overall the meat was phenomenal - as you'd expect when they source specific cuts from around 10 different butchers. But compared to everywhere else I been, I felt it was way too expensive. Probably due to the service - paying steakhouse prices for a third to half of the food for that same cost at even a la carte joints in Bay Area. And we have markup to deal with. I was definitely happy with my meal but my wallet was not. The bigger meat packages 4-5 are at a slightly better value, so I would probably only go back to try that. read more

YUMMMMMMM! This place was THE BEST! We had a wonderful experience and had the beef combo. Everything was very good.

I cannot wait to go back to Sizzle sometime very soon! read more

I have had my fair share of Korean barbecue dining experiences since I started eating Korean food in high school because my neighbors were Korean and they owned a restaurant themselves. My first time, I fell in love and still think it is one of my favorite Asian cuisines. Unfortunately, good Korean restaurants in the Phoenix area are spread thin and when I heard about this new restaurant in town, I got excited. The restaurant is in the Desert Ridge Marketplace. There wasn't very many people dining and my first impression is that it's because of the fancy and expensive menu and prices while the restaurant decor and ambiance doesn't seem to quite match it. It looks like a casual, quick spot with no catchy decor so of course you immediately expect inexpensive prices. We asked for a table and they had us wait for 5-7 minutes even though there wasn't very many people in the restaurant because they wanted to put all the little side dishes out first. We decided to order the small beef combo and you get to pick four different meats. We decided on the kimchi stew with brisket, boneless short rib, marinated short rib, and marinated thinly sliced beef. We also had to order white rice which was extra. We practically ate everything and we were full but not full enough. The taste? It's meh. Our server actually cooked the food for us which is unusual. We normally cook the food ourselves in other establishments. The prices too are higher than other Korean BBQ restaurants I've been to especially for the portions you get. Our total bill with tip was almost $100!! I'm not a fan. Expensive prices, small portions, a boring atmosphere/ambiance = no thanks. read more

We drive to Desert Ridge, it's raining - in AZ that means you don't need a reservation, people are staying in! We're seated at a round table with a grill in the middle and an ominous range hovering us like a flying saucer. We order some sides, and some beef and some pork - it's brought out to the table first, marinated and raw. Our waiter flips some switches, lights the grill, and lowers that range down to Am-I-being-abducted close, and starts cooking our BBQ right in front of us, flipping it with sticks and prongs until that crispy caramelization emerges. They bring out the banchan - a million little bowls that just keep getting put down on the table like an anaconda wrapping around its prey. Veggies, kimchi, fishy stuff, straight up salt... Do I eat them by themselves? With the meat? Do I make tacos with that and that? Korean tacos are too a thing!! If I eat them in the wrong order, am offending anyone here? (looks around, just us white folks, I'm OK) Our side dishes arrive around the time the meat is done - now we have a seafood pancake, kimchi fried rice, and a cold soup to enjoy as well. I'm not the timid type, I mixed this with that and that with this until I was full - I know I did it right because it was delicious! Special shout out to the seafood pancake and the BBQ meat dipped into straight up salt - who knew? (Oh everyone knows about the salt/meat combo? My bad) read more

I was so excited about new Korean BBQ opened up in Scottsdale/north Phoenix area. Came here for lunch the other day and thought not too bad for north Phoenix. What nice about this place is that a trained server cooks meat for you at a grill on your table, where normally we cook on our own. In face she was very well trained, she cooked our beef so perfectly. BBQ for two comes with four different types of meat. A half of what I picked were good but the other half, I though guy I had better cut if beef before. Banchan quality was just okay. I would have enjoyed more fishy and spicy taste. We came here to talk, but fan and grill in the middle, as well as a server being there wasn't too appropriate for talking privately. Overall I had better cut of meat before but I am glad that now we have BBQ in this part of city. read more

Fun experiences, great Korean BBQ, cooked right at your table. We spent a bit over $180 for 4 people. We left stuffed and feeling a bit "pickled" like Kim Chee overload, that's because I ate all the sides before our food was cooked! My bad. The brisket, skirt steak and short ribs we're delicious! Our adorable waitress was extremely friendly, attentive, and cooked all our meats. She was spot on! Overall a super fun experience! We left satisfied and happy! read more

Sizzle Korean BBQ is located in Desert Ridge Marketplace in the Food Court. Sizzle Korean BBQ is not for everyone. You have to be a meat eater and you have to be ok with either a Beef or Pork Meal. Sizzle Korean BBQ serves an all day menu that runs around $25 - $39 for a single BBQ. Our server tried to be very helpful and explained the menu to us. She spoke very quickly and had a thick Asian Accent and for me was hard to understand. We shared a Small Beef Combo BBQ that is five kinds of beef and includes one extra dish of Stew. (We picked Kimchi Stew) ($64) After we ordered many side dishes (Banchan) arrive. Some were radishes, bean sprout salad, fish cakes, broccoli, onions, green onion salad and tossed salad. They also served condiments for the meat of sea salt, a red sauce they called spicy that wasn't so spicy and kind of ketchup like and soy sauce. Next we get the appetizer of steamed eggs and our server starts cooking the beefs. We start to try the beefs and she tells us to salt the beef, dip in soy, add onions and green onion salad and use a slice of radish and make a little taco out of it. All the beef was delicious. Four out of Five beefs we tried was very tender. (one of the ribs was chewy) The beef came flying fast at us and it was kinda hard to work in the side dishes. I didn't get to the appetizer until maybe the third beef. For me I would enjoy it more if they could space it out a little bit. When we got done our server said do you want your complimentary dessert? So I'm thinking maybe it's large or something and that might be why it was a question....It was a sample size of Lemon Gelato. It was a nice sweet ending but would have been nicer if a few of the mountain of used plates were cleared. Food was very tasty. For me on my visit the Brisket, Boneless Short Rib and Marinated Thin Bulgogi were the most tender and delicious. The staff all thanked us for dining with them. This is a place that I will revisit. read more

We had the pork combo... it was really delicious! I am gluten intolerant, so I asked when we went in if they had GF options and they were really great at telling me what I could have as well as the waitress separating the GF sides from the non GF sides for the hubby. The sides were so good! I didnt really care for the stew, but loved everything else. Very fresh and good quality meat. I definitely want to try the beef combo and some ala carte items next time. The 4 stars are because when taking our order the waitress asked if we wanted white or fried rice...of course we picked fried...when we got the check there was an extra $10.00 on our bill for the fried rice... I hate hate shady business. Come on tell me it costs more. It was pretty expensive for the meal in itself. However, good enough we will be back! read more
