    I tried Sizzling Lunch during weekend lunch hour awhile back, and it was pretty packed with a wait. The ordering process was straightforward and done by yourself at the table, and food arrived quickly. They specialize in lunches served on a grill platter, with an assortment of meat, rice, and toppings. You have to let the meats grill for a bit before mixing and eating. They have various sauces at the table to add to the platter so you can personalize, which I liked. They also served sugarcane juice (from Sugar Mama when I visited, not sure if that's changed), which helps make the meal lighter and more refreshing.

    Curry Beef Udon

    Solid place for a late lunch. I liked the garlic butter and that you can add your own amount of garlic shoyu and teriyaki sauce as you mix it in. Rice gets crispy at the bottom which is great. Service was efficient and friendly

    Chicken Katsu with Curry Sauce
    Pranathi B.

    My kind of a place and I walked in ready to fall in love but the food fell a tad bit short of my expectations. We got chicken katsu curry and chicken udon with garlic butter on the side. **chicken udon 3/5 I don't know if it's because I requested for the garlic butter on the side but the dish just fell flat and was super dry. Looks like garlic butter was not just the star ingredient but also the main source of flavor. **chicken katsu curry 3/5 The rice got extremely dry due to the hot plate, the chicken had a very thick and crisp coating. Even with the curry sauce the dish felt dry and difficult to eat. For close to $20 a plate, the quantities are definitely less.

    I ordered the tonkatsu curry, it was good. The pork cutlet was crispy but inside was bit chewy . The curry sauce was rich, savory,.

    Came here for a date night with my partner, and it was sooo good! He had the chicken katsu with curry, while I had the beef udon. The curry that comes with the chicken katsu is pretty good, and the chicken is juicy. The beef udon (my all time favorite) is very flavorful. The tables also have a variety of condiments to enhance the flavor! The service is quite good. We were kindly greeted, and was seated quickly. The only downside was that you have to order on your phone by scanning a QR code, and my partner and I had to wait quite a bit due to the poor phone service in the area. Other than that, was a great time!

    Always a great place to eat with friends. The serving sizes are well worth the price and it's fun to have this sizzling plate experience. I actually come here pretty often because it's close to my church and has great food. The interior is big but sometimes there's a wait because it's popular, although it's never been a long wait. Can't wait to come back!

    Beef Pepper Rice
    Dave D.

    Sizzling lunch has addictive food, mostly because of the large amount of butter, garlic and salt. The food is fresh and flavorful and served very quickly. The service is fast and friendly. I usually get the garlic pepper rice or noodles. I often get the chicken karaage or the cold tofu. All of these are large portions and taste great. I did get the curry chicken karaage rice recently but I didn't think that was very good. Overall, the place is clean and comfortable. There's almost never a line to get in. Your clothes and hair will stink after going here but it's worth it.

    We dropped by on a Saturday around 6 PM, and the place was about 70% full. With just one server managing the floor, we were impressed by his patience and clear explanation of how sizzling plates work (great for first-timers!). Ordering via the QR code was smooth, though a gentle reminder to hit "submit" would've saved a moment of doubt. When the food arrived--still crackling on the plate--it definitely made a great first impression. That said, for nearly $20 a dish, the portions felt on the lighter side, and the flavor needed a bit of DIY seasoning. If you're into hot, sizzling dishes and a casual experience, this place delivers a solid evening out.

    Yummy!! I enjoyed my lunch here very much. The staff was friendly as well and accommodating.

    Dining room
    Robert K.

    Came here to try some sizzling rice and was pleasantly surprised. The dining room was clean and no waiting for a table. There were plenty of parking spaces outside. The staff was very friendly. I ordered the garlic beef rice and the beef udon sizzling plate. Both are very good. The beef was soft and tender and the garlic butter adds to the intense flavor. However, I highly recommend adding the teriyaki and shoyu sauce. The hot sizzling plate infuses all the flavors together and forms a crust on the rice. Both dishes were very tasty. However, the portions were kinda small for what they charge. More meat would be nice. Also, the dining room is very cold. Every customer was wearing their coats while dining.

    The food was good, the place was clean, and the staff was extremely helpful. I was told i cook out my food at the table. The protein came out half-cooked; i finished the process with the sizzling plate. I ordered the chicken teriyaki and absolutely loved it. The burnt rice added an extra layer of flavor. I'll definitely be back to try other menu items.

    Always happy going to sizzling lunch as I ove their sizzling plates, but the corn cheese was just ok. It could have used more mayo and seasoning. The service was quick and friendly. Lots of seating and the booths are comfy.

    This place was a good outing. First, this location has a way better layout than their other location. The meal I got was great, on point . I really enjoyed the cooking process , I went heavy on the sauce. I will say though moving forward I will add the sausage but not the egg because I couldn't even taste the egg I added on

    Probably a stupid question, but if the beef and chicken in the pepper rice dishes cooks partially through the stone bowls they are served in, how does this work for takeout?

I hadn't had it for a couple years, and I'd forgotten how magical it is. Came here in a group and did a family style order including the okonomiyaki "sampler." The four items in the sampler were the first four items completely eaten by our group! Maybe all okonomiyaki is this good and I'd just forgotten. Or maybe Fugetsu is really special. Actually it's special no matter what because even if you're the only okonomiyaki lover in your group, your dining companions can order from the giant Rokko menu with all its other stuff. I'll be back.

The tenderness of the pork is really nice too, especially paired with the onsen egg and rice. My only gripe is the service and cleanliness is really lacking and disappointing. The staff are NOT attentive, no one asks how your meal is, and just asking for a refill of water takes what seems like forever. When they still had the tablets at the table, I remember ringing for a waiter/waitress to bring my mother a takeout container and I could hear the bell ringing in the kitchen. It was very quickly shut off, a sign that maybe someone would come shortly, but nope. I waited for 5-7 minutes and rang a second time and AGAIN they quickly turned it off with no one coming. I was tempted to grab the to-go box myself, but didn't want to risk being told not to do that and just wait for an employee... Finally, after what felt like at least 10-12 minutes, someone gave us a box! As for the cleanliness, when I was served my meal once, there was old food still stuck to my tray. While it was only the tray the dishes were served on, it made me question how clean the other dinnerware was. So, while I love the Miso Katsu, the past few experiences do not make this dish worth revisiting Yayoi. Honestly, the service has been so sub-par that I really don't know why I bothered coming back. Every time I go, I wonder how disappointing the service is going to be. So, try it if you must, but be proactive in making sure your server is attentive!
