Sizzling Lunch - sizzling plates - Teppanyaki Near Me - Fremont, California

The food was really good and the restaurant looked pretty nice. The service was also good.

I took the photo before the meat was cooked but honestly, I crave Sizzling Lunch maybe once a month and each time I leave full and satisfied. Each portion is good for one or two people (depending how hungry you are) and it's so flavorful. I also would recommend any of the appetizers but my favorite one is the cheese fries. The staff is very attentive and the orders come in fairly quick. I also say that you order through a QR code and pay in the front making it easy and convenient. read more

Sizzling Lunch - Kimchi Beef Pepper Rice - Teppanyaki Near Me - Fremont, California

I came here with my coworkers and it was pretty tasty. Interesting concept with the proteins not cooked and cooking in front of you on your own plate by stirring it around. (hence the name, sizzling lunch) I chose a beef plate and added an egg and kimchi. There were a lot of options but since it was my first time, I didn't want to over do it with additions. I'll be back to try other dishes, the service was great and fast. There was plenty of seating and the music playing. read more

Sizzling Lunch - Teppanyaki Near Me - Fremont, California

Waiting 38 minutes for the garlic pepper rice plate is a little too long for my liking. Im pretty sure they forgot about my order because the table next to me(i was eating alone) sat down after me, ordered after me, and also got their food before me. The food was amazing but the service was subpar. The service staff was not very attentive either but they were very nice. UPDATE: upon paying for my order the lady at the cashier acknowledged that it took too long for my order and gave me a discount without me even mentioning anything. That flipped the script for me as they definitely made up for the earlier mistake. read more

SO good, as always! Service was speedy, accurate and professional. I have been here several times and it never failed: always taste good. The most fun part is to wait for the bottom of the rice to get crispy. Ambiance was casual, and be prepared to have to wash your hair and shower afterwards. Once you enter, it is all sizzling!!! read more

This was a solid 3.5 star experience for me but it was totally based on what I ordered. I got the unagi rice plate and my partner got the beef pepper rice. Both plates came out sizzling hot as its namesake portends and it was good! But the unagi to rice ratio was lacking for me and the unagi comes out already cooked so it's not really taking advantage of the hot stone plate. I love the bright and airy ambience and how high tech their service is. You order via and iPad and if you love customization, you will absolutely adore this place. Next time, I'll be getting the beef platter. read more

For those who were looking for an alternative to Pepper Lunch, look no further--Sizzling Lunch is the perfect replacement. Flavors, taste, and service was almost 1:1 to the original. Honestly the difference may just be "Pepper" versus "Sizzling" in their names. We had a late lunch, so we ordered only one dish but for two tiny people. Let me tell you the portions here are generous. Im definitely glad we only ordered one order of the Beef Garlic Plate. Flavors were spot on, didn't need any extra seasoning and it was flavorful right off of the plate. I did add a bit of kimchi to the top and it honestly rounded out the dish in my opinion. Don't be afraid to experiment with their vast options of toppings! Overall definitely will be coming back and food felt clean/healthy for a restaurant. Highly recommend. read more

Fast service, friendly staff, and good food! We got the chicken katsu curry and takoyaki.

Nothing too special for a piece of steak but this is a nice spot for some clean food and a celebratory atmosphere. Garlic butter is not all that but the meal is good overall. The service is kind and quick here, you have to pay at the entrance when done! read more

Sizzling Lunch - horrible picture bc steam - Teppanyaki Near Me - Fremont, California

This is my husband and i's go to spot if we are craving some grilled meats but don't want to splurge on AYCE kbbq. Sizzling lunch is Japanese food with a Korean influence. Our favorite item on the menu is the garlic butter beef with rice. We pair this with chicken karaage, fries, kimchi, and corn cheese. A wonderful mix of crunchy, sweet, salty, and everything in between. The service is top notch over here. The servers are attentive and friendly. They're quick to get all your needs met. That's refills, extra plates, etc! Come here for a nice sizzling lunch or dinner :) read more

We were down in Fremont and wanted to have lunch with a friend after a meeting. We looked at a bunch of different restaurants after we realized the one that we had planned on going to was closed on Tuesdays. Sizzling Lunch has a decent yelp score and offered enough variety to satisfy the three of us. Two of us entered the restaurant and were greeted immediately. We asked for a table for three and were directed to a four-top. The hostess asked if we had dined there before and we had not. She explained to us that we could order from our phones via QR Code but that she also had a hard copy of the menu that we could look at (pictured below). Water glasses and a carafe of ice water along with set-ups were delivered to the table while we perused the menu. We decided on two appetizers and three dishes to share. To facilitate this, we also asked for three bowls and three pairs of chopsticks. When the food came, we had it placed in the middle of the table. The entrees are served on a cast iron flat pan sitting on top of a wooden platform. Each one of us stirred up the ingredients in the pan in front of us. All of the veg and proteins are served raw, but the cast iron pan is sizzling hot, which is perfect for cooking the ingredients. The cooked rice also forms a nice crunchy crust similar to Chinese Clay Pot Rice, Korean Dolsot or Spanish Paella. Each of the dishes we ordered was very satisfying and easily earn a score of 5/5. Each of the dishes that we ordered was delicious. The quality and quantity were both very good and satisfying. Service was okay and could easily be improved with a minimum of effort. With the hostess and a server working front of the house, it was unknown what they were doing when they weren't present in the dining room. Perhaps they had a role in the kitchen as well. They both served food to tables. If they simply slowed their pace after dropping off dishes and looked carefully at the guests at every table, it would be easy to see if someone wanted to ask for something. one big ask that we made was to have the music volume turned down. Until it was, conversation was difficult. Afterwards, it was very easy to chat while we enjoyed our food. We like the concept, the menu and the execution. We will definitely be back again. read more

One of my favorite restaurants to get either lunch or dinner at, I either get the beef pepper rice or beef with udon. My friends and I like to share the cheese fries for the table. Service is quite fast once you order your food via your phone. This location is smaller than the one in SJ, has fewer seating but still the same quality of food. They offer many other options from steak, pork belly, sausage, salmon and more. I like coming here and would recommend. Definitely recommend cooking your food as soon as it comes out so it cooks. read more

This is my go to place. Years ago I really enjoyed pepper lunch, but when I found his lunch, I never went back. Convenient with a bunch of locations is always clean. The ordering used to be from an iPad but now it is a QR code, which is super fast. The food comes out quick. The servings are plentiful and everything is fresh. The appetizers are great. You can't go wrong with literally anything on the menu. The cheese fries are a definite must when it comes to the appetizers. The staff is always friendly and I really like that they check in on you periodically. Adding more items to your order is really easy through the QR code and it makes everything super convenient. read more

Sizzling Lunch - Teppanyaki Near Me - Fremont, California

Great, friendly, and fast service! The store is nice and spacious both inside and out. Parking is easy since it's located in a large plaza, so there's no need to worry about finding a spot. They offer a wide variety of items, but almost everything comes with an extra charge. The food is good and simple, though definitely overpriced--especially if you add toppings. My husband and I ordered the same item, except his was the "garlic spicy" version and cost a few dollars more. Why? I honestly don't know--just garlic and powder, I guess. We ended up adding more sauces from the table (which were free) to enhance the flavor, so we definitely won't be ordering that upgrade again. That said, we'd still come back since it's an easy and quick lunch spot. GOODLUCK! read more

Sizzling Lunch - Teppanyaki Near Me - Fremont, California

First off, I have had Pepper Lunch in Milpitas and I low-key thought this was Pepper Lunch when I chose this place for a work lunch. The concept is definitely the same which is good but man I was surprised. [[ Location ]] This is a "new-ish" plaza in Fremont with a ton of parking. Beware of homeless people wandering about as I saw one near me both when I arrived and left. They are harmless but some are carrying a ton of alcohol bottles so it's a bit unsettling. [[ Restaurant ]] The place is really big and since its new, I found the establishment very clean and airy. Great place to have a meal. Ordering is all automated by a QR code on your table. [[ Food ]] If you had pepper lunch or Japanese Teppanyaki before, you basically get a sizzling plate grill with rice/meat that I usually mix up when I get it. It cooks really fast and the meal is hot and delicious. My colleague and I ordered the following: 1.) Hiyayakko Appetizer (Cold Tofu with Ponzu) 2.) Kyuuri (Japanese Cucumber with Ponzu) 3.) Garlic Beef Pepper Rice x2 Keep in mind the lunch can add up really fast as the Garlic Pepper Rice was $17.50 and each add on such as Cheese, Garlic, Onion, etc. are around $1.50 and up. Overall I thought it was good and comparable to Pepper Lunch in Milpitas. No complaints here FYI = This place stinks up your clothes/hair really quickly. I changed out of all my clothes immediately when I got home because I smelled like the restaurant. read more

My husband and I came here for the second time after I was fasting for 15+ hours. We had come before which was our first time and we really didn't know what to expect. I think that we didn't order as we should have the first time. This time we both ordered extra garlic butter I added red onions, and a side of kimchi. My husband went with the spicy kimchi beef and I went with the original beef no salt. I added some shoyu garlic a little teriyaki-- after it all mixed and it was so delicious. My favorite was getting the crispy parts at the bottom. My husband really enjoyed his meal as well. We will definitely be back. read more

Service was good Food came out quickly after ordering from our phones The salmon udon was tasty. I was worried about the noodles being dry but between the dab of butter on top and the table sauces it was great. Salmon portion was alright. Prices overall seem a bit high but you do walk out of there with a leftover box and food coma read more

I came here with a friend a couple days after my meet. I've been here plenty of times before. It's really good and feels hella comforting. It feels like food you make at home, but much more streamlined and less mess lol. The service is a bit different you order from your phone and they bring it out, the servers are efficient though. The place is clean and even when it got a little bit busy it was still easy to get someone. Overall, I will come here again if a friend wanted to. read more

Our daughter suggested going to Sizzling Lunch for lunch. We were excited to try this new cooking style. The restaurant was clean and the servers were attentive Our food smelled good when the server brought them out. I ordered the Deluxe plate, but had to send it back because the bottom wasn't crispy enough. Overall, lunch was an interesting experience, but menu prices are a bit high. read more

If you like pepper lunch or if you never had this place, you better try it. I love the concept of sizzling plates. You can do udon or rice with a variety of toppings. I chose beef curry udon with extra garlic butter cause it's fiiiireee. It comes out pretty fast. I recommend the cucumbers to snack, but i sometimes get the Takoyaki if I'm hungry. Clean place, quick service, and staff is attentive. The parking lot can get packed with other businesses, but shouldn't be too bad. read more

Lots of families, couples and single diners here. Very accommodating for everyone. Can't wait to come back! read more

Amazing fab place ever pork belly udon is my fav!!!!!! Service is amazing! Love the vibe of the store

Stopped in for late lunch. It wasn't very busy but it was after 1pm so not surprised. Ordered on our phone, got chicken kaarage and fries, teriyaki chicken rice plate, and spicy beef rice plate. My kid liked the fries and chicken kaarage (which was decent portion). My sister also had the kaarage and fries and liked it a lot. My mom had the teriyaki rice plate, first time eating this style of food. Said it reminded her of clay pot rice. She said it was delicious. I got the spicy beef, I added the soy garlic sauce on the table and the chili pepper as it wasn't spicy enough for me, but it tasted great. Sugarcane drink was exceptional, not many places have this and it was done right. Overall very good. Sorry we were so hungry that forgot to take pics of the food. read more

Difficult parking on Sunday evening somehow. The sizzling plate was okay, kept needing to add teriyaki sauce for the flavoring. Their awesome seasoned wings were excellent though, some of the best wings I've ever had! Decent prices and good service. read more

Sizzling Lunch never disappoints! Two years later, their excellent customer service and quality food remain consistent. As always, I ordered their cheese fries, and they were absolutely delicious. I love adding the extra spice they have on the table--it makes the fries even tastier. For the main dish, I got the pepper beef. Once again, I added plenty of spice and shoyu and let the rice get a little crispier by not mixing it too much on the sizzling plate--the perfect combination. I really love how much crispy fried garlic they include, and while the butter portion is decent, I would definitely enjoy even more of it. They also have other items on the menu, such as gyoza and karaage, but it would be a lot of food if I ordered them alongside my go-to dishes. I definitely want to try their curry or udon dishes one day, but honestly, their sizzling rice plates are top-tier. read more

This spot is like a little slice of Japan! The beautiful wood-accented interior feels cozy and authentic. Ordering is super easy--just scan the QR code, customize your sizzling plate, and you're set. The menu offers meats, seafood, udon, rice plates, and katsu curry, with add-ons like garlic butter, an egg, or curry sauce. Don't skip the house sauces--spicy miso and garlic soy are must-tries! I also liked how they topped off my garlic beef pepper rice with crispy bits of garlic. So goood! Service was fast and efficient with our food arriving in under 10 minutes. The staff were attentive and asked if we were first timers, kindly explaining the process to anyone who hasn't had a sizzling lunch plate before. They are quick to refill with water too. For about $20 per plate, I was definitely full and had more than enough to take home for later. read more

There are a bunch of Sizzling lunch locations across the bay area, but this one is my favorite. Foster city's Sizzling lunch is located in a strip mall so parking is quite convenient. The interior is beautiful and the staff are helpful. Food doesn't miss here. Ever. Sugarcane is fresh and delicious here. I recommend the lychee if you don't have a strong sweet tooth in the strawberry if it's a little stronger. For appetizers, my favorite is the takoyaki, but my boyfriend prefers the chicken Karaage. They're both really crispy. I was a little surprised that it didn't come out, steaming hot, but my boyfriend pointed out that it was a safe temperature to eat, and it didn't get soggy. For entrées, my favorite continues to be the garlic beef, pepper rice. My boyfriend prefers the garlic beef udon. I tried the salmon and it was good, but the beef here is especially fresh and yummy. Definitely add fried garlic and onion. It's worth it . I order the veggies on a hot plate to lie to myself that I'm healthy and I think next time I'll mix it into my rice instead. Next time you're unsure of what to eat, you should definitely go to sizzling lunch it's definitely the right move! read more
