    Beef Udon
    Jonathan B.

    I got the beef udon and I put both of the sauces provided and it was delicious. The beef was tender and the sauces went well with the udon and beef. However, I was hoping for some more udon as I wasn't really full at the end. There was a decent amount of meat though.

    This meal was everything I dreamed of and more. Me and my friend were able to get seated right away, it wasn't too busy. We were able to order through the QR code. Staff was friendly and helpful. Restaurant clean and well maintained. Food came out fast. We both ordered the spicy garlic beef pepper rice that came topped with green onions, corn, garlic butter and spicy fried garlic and for our appetizer we got the cheese corn. The entree was so good, I finished it. I can't wait to get it again. The pricing is great too.

    Spicy Garlic Beef Pepper Rice

    We've been craving sizzling lunch for a bit. In the past they always pulled through. This time no less. The food was good, I ordered the spicy beef, extra sausage and protein. My wife ordered the same less sausage and cheese corn. Mine was ok, it looked a little light on the extra beef but we were hungry and on a time crunch. The place was very dimly lit today and the floors are always oily so exercise caution. They changed the ordering system again, this time it's a QR menu that opens a tab. Not too bad as everyone seems to be gravitating towards that but you still haw to walk up the counter and close it out. The staff was nice, it was at the end of the night so I didn't want to ask for anything other than a beverage. I failed to take a photo prior but I got what I got.

    Good food, good prices, good service. Nothing to disparage. The place is kept clean. By golly though, the parking lot is full for this location. I wouldn't order the takoyaki again, but everything else is good! I'm a big fan of the beef pepper over the other options.

    Went in for dinner around 6pm in got seated immediately. We ordered a curry beef rice sizzle plate with mushrooms, no corn, and extra meat witb a side of curry sauce. Everything was great and hit the spot! The location was clean and decorated nicely

    Very good rice bowls! Portion is a bit smaller for me but taste is great! Recommend trying!

    Quick service, you order via your phone and pay at the register afterwards. Protein comes out uncooked on an extremely hot plate, you add your extra toppings (teriyaki & garlic sauces, salt/pepper, chili powder) and mix until it's all cooked.

    Tldr I like this place. Generally I avoid oily places because too much oil can upset my stomach but my stomach has always been ok with this location. It also helps that when I order the beef pepper rice I can get the garlic butter on the side. I've been to the other sizzling lunch locations but this one is my favorite because it's the most convenient for me. Parking is sometimes difficult because of the gym but I can usually find a spot because it's a huge parking lot lol. I almost always order the beef pepper rice and it's just enough that I am nice and full. The plate comes out super hot and if I move fast enough I can get the crispy rice while making sure all of my meat is cooked too. I dunno. I feel like this is a generic sizzling plate place but the quality here is consistent. It's my comfort sizzling plate place hahaha.

    Came here on a whim on a Friday night, got seated right away. The ordering is strange it's only on your phone and each individual person needs to place their own order on their phone. The drinks were warm with a couple ice cubes which was frustrating considering it took them a while to refill our drinks. The food itself was pretty good but imo not worth the price we paid. We tried the regular and spicy garlic beef with rice. We also tried the gyoza which was fire. Overall the ordering sucked, the food was mediocre and our servers didnt check on us enough. Probably won't come back again.

    FOOD I enjoyed the chicken karaage and gyoza. They have dishes that come on a sizzling plate. You rotate the food on the sizzling hot plate to finish cooking the food. Inside is simple. You can order via a QR code and have minimal interaction with the server. You can pay cash at the register too. It's in the same shopping plaza as Chipotle and City Sports gym.

    Garlic Beef Pepper Rice!
    Jason H.

    Fast and delicious! It made me wonder how a takeout order would fare. Due to the crazy parking situation, I'd be down for a routine takeout visit if the crispness of the rice didn't become soggy. My Garlic Beef Pepper Rice needed some sauce to enhance the flavor, but it was downright delicious.

    Every time we are in San Jose, this is our go to lunch. Conveniently located in the Brokaw Commons complex. Parking can be very difficult during lunch time on a weekday. A Japanese fusion teppanyaki style food. Service is very quick. Order on the menu by scanning the QR code and food gets delivered. Pay at the counter after eating. I usually order the kurobuta pork belly udon with add on - egg. This is served in a sizzling plate that you need to mix and continue cooking, 2 types of sauces are available- teriyaki and garlic shoyu. I always use the garlic shoyu. Son always gets his pepper beef rice with egg and hubby switches from the other options on their menu. Casual seating, you can choose where you want to get situated. The smell of the food sticks with you until you get home but no complaints. I definitely recommend Sizzling Lunch

    This has become my go-to spot when I'm craving comfort food but don't want to cook. I've been here enough times to appreciate the efficiency of this place. The setup: QR code ordering from your table, food arrives within 10 minutes (seriously, it's fast), and during off-peak hours you can sit wherever you want. I've never been here during peak hours, I'm guessing they assign seating during those times. My order is predictable - garlic pepper steak with an egg add-on every single time. It hits the spot. The steak comes out sizzling on the cast iron plate (hence the name) and that egg on top is exactly what you want it to be. They have seasonings and sauces at the table if you want to adjust things, which I appreciate. The space itself is nothing to write home about - clean, spacious, functional. You're here for a quick, satisfying meal, not the ambiance. Perfect for: When you want hot food fast without the fast food regret. This is comfort food that delivers exactly what it promises. Price: $20-25 per person Parking: Lot available but shared with City Sports Club and other businesses - can get tricky during peak hours Bottom line: Reliable, fast, and satisfying. Sometimes that's all you need.

Although Taishoken is known for their tsukemen, I'll always opt for mazesoba if I see it on a menu. The mazesoba here is easily some of the best I've had in the Bay Area. The included piece of chashu is well-seasoned, fall apart tender and had a good balance of lean to fatty meat. The noodles are cooked to perfection and have a really nice chew to them. There is just the right amount of sauce in the dish, and the raw egg yolk adds a wonderful richness that coats each strand of noodle when mixed. Included with your mazesoba is a small side of vinegar. I would definitely recommend trying out the mixed mazesoba on its own -- without the vinegar, and adding in the vinegar about half-way in in order to try out a completely different flavor profile of the noodles. The acidity of the vinegar cuts through the richness and keeps you coming back for bite after bite. If you've never tried mazesoba before, I can't recommend it enough at Taishoken. I can't wait to stop by again for another bowl.

    I'd say skip it overall. The noodles were too al dente, and the dipping broth wasn't anything…read moreparticularly memorable. Honestly, I feel like I could recreate something similar pretty easily using kits from a Japanese market. The karaage, though, was super crispy and really good. If you go, I'd recommend just getting one dipping noodle dish to share and ordering a bunch of appetizers instead -- otherwise it ends up being way too much noodle. Or go to Tsujita

We arrived right before they closed for their dinner prep at 1:40 PM, so we were worried they might not be able to seat us or that we'd feel rushed, but our server was amazing. She was attentive, polite, and made us feel completely welcome. We're huge fans of raw fish, especially when it comes to sushi, and the hamachi and toro were incredibly fresh--melt-in-your-mouth good. I barely even needed to use any ginger, which says a lot about the quality and freshness. We ordered a ton of appetizers, but the real stars of the meal were the baked scallop roll and the baked mussels. The sauce that came with the baked mussels was so good that we found ourselves dipping our other dishes into it. Overall, such a great experience with fresh fish, delicious food, and excellent service. We'll definitely be back.
