This place exceeded expectations by far. Ate with several friends and I can't speak highly enough about the service, the food, the very well thought out ventilation and overall vibe is great. Nice work yall. Keep it up. read more

Sizzle's quality has gone down a lot over the years and we haven't been happy with our last few visits. I used to love to bring family and friends here but everyone has agreed it doesn't have the same quality anymore. * The portions of meat are smaller -- a set that supposedly can feed 4-5 feeds 2. * The service is hit or miss -- the last two times service was nonexistent and slow. Last visit, our server didn't take our order for over 20 mins after we sat down. We understand Sizzle can get busy but that doesn't excuse no service for almost 30 mins! * The pricing is expensive for what you get now -- paying 100s for everything average. * Although the meat looks good in pictures and in person, it just doesn't taste good. Not tender and very chewy. * For the marinaded meats, it doesn't have enough flavor or seasoning. They may need to marinade their meats more. * Side dishes are flavorless and need more seasoning but at least unlimited. * Seafood pancake was meh the last two visits -- not worth ordering and barely any seafood. Love you, Sizzle, but step up your game =( read more

I rarely write these reviews, but felt that I must after my experience tonight. First.. the vibe was ok. Nice enough place. Quite a few people in there. Which I thought was a good sign. Waitress was friendly and helpful. That is where the good comes to and end. I ordered the filet mignon... once i ordered the waitress brought out all of these little sides that I was excited to try.... One of them was some kind of noodle strips... that was served cold that tasted like they had been soaking in a bucket of fish guts. The other was kimchi... it was barely ok. Some sprouts... mediocre. And some type of beet... terrible. I'm thinking... surely my $60 filet is going to be excellent. WRONG! They brought the filet out. No seasoning, no marinate... no nothing with a big onion steak and some mushrooms.... Again... no seasoning. It is cooked on the little grill in front the of me with 1 little pat of butter. The steak itself was half gristly.. I'm looking around thinking I'm being PUNKED.... Unfortunately, it was all real. They also brought some little skillet out with a "steamed egg" in it.... It was horrible... it tasted like an egg with no seasoning. Don't waste your time or money. It was horrible....the sides (garnishes) were horrible. The meat was tasteless.... Terribly overpriced for what you are served. read more

Made a mistake of coming here on a Sunday night without a reservation with a big party. But we were seated within 15-20 minutes. Our server, failed to get his name, the one who looked like he's part of a K-Pop crew, was great! Despite being busy, he made sure to refill our waters and made sure we were good. One thing I like about this place is that you won't be smelling like kbbq after. read more

Great service and food here at Sizzle. I particularly enjoy the quality of meat served compared to some other Korean BBQ places. I enjoy the large beef combo with my sister to split even though the serving listed is for 3-4 people.. There are 5 pairings to choose one option from each pairing. I chose the beef brisket, rib eye, seasoned boneless short rib, marinated thinly sliced beef, and kimichi stew. It so fun to watch the team cook the meats while we watxh then when ready you can eat off the grill. The selection of Bam Chan is great. My favorite is the cucumber kimichi and of the salads the green onion salad The sauces are great flavor enhancements to the meat. The Kimichi Fried Rice is usually really tastey but this time around the rice tasted overcooked and lacked flavor. After tasting this I wished I would have ordered the Korean dumplings instead. Overall the ambiance is very nice. Well lit and clean dining area. read more

Sizzle Korean Barbeque was an okay experience. I don't know what the hype was about, and I definitely cannot relate to why people were so generous to give them 4/5 stars for overall rating. We were a party of 5 today. There was no wait time to be seated on a Thursday night around 6:30ish. The ambience was nice, the vibe seemed upscale wanna be with wine glass set ups on the tables along with silver utensils and napkins. In all actuality, the prices of the meats were the only upscale things on the menu. Not being an Arizona local and visiting from Florida may have had something to do with it, but personally, the prices were way too pricey for how the meats tasted. I got the impression that they use good quality meats and the meat seemed fresh because of their coloring, texture, and marbling. However, the briskets were too tough and cut slightly thicker than what we were used to. The pork belly was nice and thick but nothing special for their prices. Bulgogi was okay but the grill they prefer to use to cook it will burn the meat if the customer doesn't know what they are doing. The rest of the food including silk tofu soup, japchae, hot stone bibimbap and the side dishes tasted very blend and they don't deserve to be called korean food. The flavor base was way off and the chef who prepared it just made these dishes "LOOK" like korean foods. There was not a single korean chef to be seen in their open kitchen, and the chef was in way over his head and was backed all the way up. At one point he pulled out what seemed like a roll of toilet paper of order tickets and pushed all the orders that seemed easy and less time consuming to him. Customers that were nearing the end like us had to wait over 40 minutes for an order of bulgogi while other dishes constantly came out the window with delay. We had to repeat ourselves multiple times to different servers what we needed to be able to continue on with our dining experience. The only reason why I am not leaving a 1 star but 3 stars is because of one person. The best thing about tonight's dining experience was our server Joshilyn who was a hostess, food runner, server, cashier, and tended to managerial duties when needed to keep us informed as to why some of our orders were taking over 40minutes to come out. She went above and beyond to accommodate us while tending to other tables. She cooked our meat for us in the beginning but there was only so much she could do when the food wasn't coming out on time. We don't blame her and we saw how much effort she was putting in to make sure every table had everything they needed to continue to dine in. Joshilyn deserves recognition for her efforts today. Thank you Joshilyn for waiting on our table tonight, you were great. PS I won't be returning to Sizzle Korean Barbeque in the future. Complete waste of time and not worth the time or the money. Please go elsewhere for Korean bbq because I don't recommend this place to anyone. If you are strong willed and must try this place out for yourself then please keep in mind that the parking situation is a bit tricky. Be prepared to park across the street in old Scottsdale and walk a while to get to your destination. I am very disappointed as a Korean customer. read more

I'm just going to start by saying that the only thing saving this place is the friendly staff with great knowledge. My reason for such a low rating is simply that all the other kbbq places I've been to have all been "all you can eat" and they serve you a drink and sides with it like lettuce, rice, jap chae, and stews to go with your meal. However, here they charge you for 3-4 meats and it's already more than you would pay at any other kbbq! And on top of that the rice is t included if you want more, lettuce is $5??, jap chae another $15, and the stews go from $15-$25! Not to mention no drink or ice cream or included either! Overall I feel disappointed, I understand it's located in Scottsdale but every other kbbq is BETTER all around! I'd go to Jin or Jin shabu instead ANY DAY. read more

I hate giving 1-stars. The food is fine. Generally, I found the beef to be good quality - the Bibimba was very good too. The waiter was also excellent. But the manager? Terrible. We spent $500. In between our meal, there was a misunderstanding over one dish. The manager came over, and basically blamed us for the miscommunication - from there; he said a nasty thing to my wife that I won't repeat here, but he basically implied that we were stupid. I reprimanded him and told him to stop giving attitude. I'm not asking for this manager to be fired - but someone on the ownership needs to explain customer relations to him. You'll notice that the mass majority of my reviews are 5-star. It takes a LOT to upset me. I'm also attaching my receipt for $500. It doesn't matter that $500 was spent - all should be treated well - but if my party isn't treated well (and we paid a lot) I can only imagine the service that others receive? Unless there was bigotry involved due to my skin color (or a different reason for bigotry)? I'm happy to delete this review as long as it's acknowledged and some guidance is given on the situation to the manager involved. Thank you all! read more

We went to Sizzle Korean BBQ as a family and we loved it! It was very busy and they had limited servers, but the staff handled it very well. We got the beef combo meal that feeds 4-5 and the pork combo meal that feeds 2. Everything was delicious! Inside was nice and clean. Some places that have the grill in the middle of the table can smell funky or the floor is greasy.. Sizzle did not have that at all which was nice! read more

I lived super close to sizzle when I lived in Scottsdale back in 23 and I really regret not trying sooner!!!!! Went with a large group and was SO impressed by management & the service we received. Management was so transparent and helpful and made our time at the restaurant even better. On top of that the quality of the meal was amazing. One of our servers cooked for us which was insanely helpful. We got the beef combo & I definitely recommend!!! Other pictures are from the rest of our group. read more

Finally got the chance to visit Sizzle to attend a birthday dinner, and I could not be more impressed! This KBBQ has high-quality meats, outstanding service, and fantastic sides. Plus, they take care of the flipping for you, so you can simply enjoy your perfectly cooked meal -- and there's no burnt stovetops smoking up your clothes and hair. Upon our server's recommendation, our group of seven ordered two large beef combos, which gave us a chance to try every option available. The beef belly was melt-in-your-mouth good, especially with the sweeter dipping sauce, while all the marinated meats were perfectly seasoned and allowed a nice crisp to form on the meats. I highly recommend the savory, lightly spiced soybean stew, which includes tender and fatty beef. However, the kimchi stew was excellent as well! All in all, I'd say two combos was the perfect amount for seven (maybe a tad short for eight). It includes steamed egg and a wonderful assortment of banchan with acidity that balances the meat. The strawberry lemonade soju cocktail is also fantastic if you like drinks with a lighter alcohol flavor without being too sweet. Sizzle will definitely be my go-to KBBQ for special occasions now! read more

Wow - so happy we found this as a late night option! Had the marinated kalbi and kimchi jiggae - the server was wonderful and cooked the kalbi perfectly! We also enjoyed the banchan. The kimchi jiggae was good but was missing pork - only tofu and kimchi. Also loved the bonus steamed egg. Will definitely return soon! Only thing - don't care for the loud music. read more

So, mixed review on the food. Most of the meat was delicious. Some was okay. For sides we had dumplings (delicious) and kimchi stew (a bit soggy *blech*). The service was mediocre. The standard "let's not clean empty plates off the table" that is now rampant in Phoenix restaurants was in full swing here. Otherwise, they cook the food for you, which is nice if that's not your thing. read more

Wow! Great Korean BBQ in Scottsdale! I will say I'm no expert in this area, but after seeing so many delicious pictures from fellow yelpers enjoying their KBBQ, and knowing mine never looked like theirs, I figured I was doing something wrong. So I convinced a co-worker, who happens to be Korean, to take a smaller group and treat us all to having it done right. This place was different for me, as the server cooked all of the food for us. I think we ordered some type of combo that had various meats and such. The marinated meats were much better flavored than the plain stuff. I still didn't know what some of the stuff was I was eating (especially the bowls of stuff on the side). Everything was delicious though, and I was glad we came here. The meal was pricey, but I guess if you go to a $19.99 AYCE place, you're going to get crap. This one was good! I may venture out and try some others on my own after seeing how it's done right. read more

came here looking forward to a good meal after a long day and was pretty disappointed. note that we came here at a normal time for dinner (around 8pm) and the restaurant wasn't full so there was no excuse for the treatment we got. i came with 3 other girls and we decided that the large beef set would be enough food for us, as we don't eat that much in the first place. when they brought the large set to us, we confirmed with our server twice that this was the large set because it just didn't look like that much meat at all. for $145 before tax and tips, we expected to all leave full but we all left slightly hungry instead. i didn't even get a picture of what we got served because i was so shocked at the portion... not only that but i couldn't even tell if the meat quality was good or not because our server overcooked almost all of our meat, left the tongs directly on the table when he wasn't using them, would constantly let the raw meat touch the cooked meat on the side and dropped two pieces of the meat on the table! and instead of giving us a replacement or even apologizing, he said 'oops!' and put it back on the grill to cook. if you've had good kbbq before, don't come here with super high expectations read more

Stopped in for a late night dinner around 9:30pm last Sunday with 5 others. It wasn't too busy so we were seated right away. We ordered the beef combo (pretty sure it was the large combo) and I think we added an order of the beef brisket and pork belly as well. Banchan, salads and sauces were included. Large combo selection ($145): Beef Belly Boneless Short Rib Marinated Short Rib Outside Skirt Meat Kimchi Stew + Beef Brisket ($45) + Pork Belly ($40) + Steamed Egg ($5) + Mango Bingsoo ($13) Everything was delicious! Quality of meat here never disappoints and the service is always great. Non AYCE kbbq spots are always better in my opinion. Quality over quantity. We finished with a Mango Bingsoo which was really good! Perfect during summer months. I didn't see the bill so Im not sure how much the total was. Prices shown above were found on the online menu. Definitely recommend if you're wanting good quality meats! read more

We love Korean bbq places. Since this was easy access and we've never seen it before, we decided to stop by. We were seated right away but it took about 20mins to even get our food order in. The service was very slow and our waitress was not warm at all. I had to ask for things twice (a fork for my son, which was kind of aggressively placed on the table as if it was our fault she forgot the first time) and I also just gave up on asking for another item all together (cabbage kimchi). Not sure where the high ratings come in but maybe this day, or this waitress, was just not it. There is not a wide variation of food anyway and limited sides. This was a one and done experience for us. read more

I've come here many times and generally it's a good experience. This time was different. I have been eating Bulgogi for several decades, and it is generally somewhat fatty, but the meat they are serving here is probably 25% fat. It means you can't really eat the entire plate... And $50. It's out of control. I spoke to the manager about it, she didn't seem to care. ‍ read more

This was not just dining, it was an experience! We ordered the beef combo, which came with salads, choice of soup and sides. The beef belly is a must (think bacon but with beef). The rib eye and short ribs also rich and flavorful. The least favorite was the marinated skirt steak, a bit too heavy on the marinade, it overwhelmed the beef. And make sure to order the Bingsu, Korean shaved ice for dessert, even if you're stuffed. it's very light but so delicious. such a unique texture that melts in your mouth. it was our first time visiting Sizzle and we'll come back every time we're in the area. my husband is also planning to bring his 7 golf buds here on their annual outing. read more

We visited this location while my brother was in town and everything was top notch. We ordered the beef combo for 4 plus kimchi rice and some noodles. Safe to say it was more than enough food for all. Great service, lively atmosphere, and a perfect spot for a family night. read more

Sizzle is a great place if you're looking for high quality KBBQ! I came here as a group of 3 and the large beef combination was perfect for the amount of people we had. They also cook, flip, and cut the meats for you which was great and their ventilation really reduced the Smokey smell. The service was relatively quick and they were attentive to when they were cooking. The sides of kimchi and other pickled vegetables went great with the meat as well as the sauces and spices. The combo also came with a kimchi stew which was delicious and a steamed egg which was also pretty good. read more

I almost cried. My husband and I came to Phoenix from LA to visit Sedona, and on our third day, we couldn't help but search for Korean food. We gave Sizzle a chance, and my husband and I hadn't been touched (감동) this much by the taste of kbbq in a long time (since we live in SoCal). The food was very very authentic, and the server was very attentive and gave us a high end experience of Korean barbecue, where they grill and cut all the meat for you. The ambience of this place is TOP NOTCH. The lighting is perfect for a date spot or a friends get together or business meeting! Anyway, here is our top five tips as a Korean on how to have a authentic experience in this restaurant: 1. Order the beef combo We recommend choosing a. Brisket, b. Kkotsal, c. Outside skirt, d. marinated rib, and e. bean paste soup. 2. Order a rice per person & eat it with the soup. 3. Ask for garlic & roast it on the grill. 4. Roast the kimchi with the brisket & eat together. (Usually roasted kimchi pairs well with fatty meats) 5. We got one glass of merlot and split it because we didn't want to drink too much. It was a perfect amount to casually sip between bites of meat. 6. All of the side dishes are refillable so ask your server for more! (But as a courtesy, try to ask them all at once for multiple dishes, instead of asking them one at a time.) The price range is as if you went to a fancy steakhouse. Except it is way healthier than a steakhouse. If you don't want to drop that much money, there are also entrees like soups and dishes that are not kbbq. If we ever come back to Phoenix again, we will definitely be coming back!! 사장님 자랑스럽습니다! read more

A lot of Asian food spots in Phoenix feel pretty Americanized, so I honestly didn't have high hopes when I came to Sizzle Korean BBQ. But wow, this place completely blew me away! Antonio, our server, was amazing. He took great care of us and cooked the meat really well. We like it medium rare, and it came out crispy on the outside but still juicy. You can tell the meat quality here is top-notch. He even swapped out the grill between different cuts of meat, which was such a nice touch. The small plates (banchan) were super fresh and flavorful. They also had like 3 different types of sauces, even rock salt which I thought was unique! The vibe was also very lively. It's a lot cleaner than most KBBQ spots I've been to, and the smoke vents over the grills are a game changer. You don't walk out smelling like burnt meat, which made the whole experience way more enjoyable. We also got the Mango and Strawberry bingsoo, and both were amazing! The ice was soft and fluffy, just like it's supposed to be, and the flavors were light and refreshing. If you're looking for a legit Korean BBQ spot in Phoenix, Sizzle is it. The food, the service, and the whole experience were incredible. Big shoutout to Antonio! read more

I'm a sucker for Asian cuisine so it's given that I LOVE Korean food. Korean BBQ is on my top 5 for favorite foods. Sizzle might be a little expensive but you get what you pay for. Their service is wonderful and they do get super busy! Ambiance is great, clean environment but I feel like the location is a little small. It can get congested very quickly. Sometimes the wait will be long but since they're located at desert ridge you can shop or walk around while you wait. They have a wide selection of meats & combo's which is great if you're with a group of people, I do wish they served shrimp or seafood in general. I enjoy their sides & salads that are served at each table. I always have to order japchea and brisket as my choice of meat. This place never disappoints! read more

We missed the food on our recent trip to Korea and found very authentic and multi layered flavors with their quick dishes. Unfortunately, our group of 3 wanted to try the beef and pork as well. At over $100 per each meat.....ugghhhhhh. I have never seen Korean BBQ so expensive. You can not mix meats. You have to pay per meat. So we ended up with a huge tab. The beef was the best and the pork was a miss. I would definitely come back, but stick to the menu read more

You need to fire your restaurant manager. People would have a much better experience if he was gone. The food is good. The management is absolutely horrible. When we presented an extra item he interrupted our meal to let us know that we had made the wrong order and that he couldn't replace it because it was already out . It was only a bowl of rice- there was literally no reason to come out and reprimand a table that was spending hundreds of dollars. Do better. read more
