I liked it! It's all different sizzling plates and individul pots (like Tasty Pot). Parking maybe hard to find on the weekends, just be patient. There's unlimited corn soup (self serve). It tasted similar to the powder mix you get in Japanese supermarkets. The puff pastry over soup was good. Steaks tasted fresh. Chicken sizzling was good. Fried tofu tasted fresh and yummy. One thing I liked was food was not too salty. There is seasoning at the self serve counter if you like to add more salt, pepper, etc. Will come again.
I'm still not sure how I feel about this place. Loved the tea and corn soup bar. The soul was delicious. They had kids meals for 10.99 but my son only seemed interested in French fries so we ordered the regular popcorn chicken and fries for 13.99. The fries were.. crinkle cut and just ok. Mushy to me but my son ate them. We also got the pork blood cake. That was a little on the crispier side but was fine. We ordered the $34.99 special lobster steak special.. the lobster was great the steak however for a place called steaking could use some work. It was very pale and lacking flavor. The steak was less pink for medium than expected and not the fat cap wasn't rendered at all. Def needed more sauce.. or something for the steak. The noodles were good the garlic bread was okay. Nothing special to remember. We also got the lamb sizzling plate And husband seemed to enjoy that. Maybe we just ordered the wrong things. Or maybe I need to come for a weekday special.
Please learn how to cook your steaks. I ordered a ribeye medium rare and it came blue rare. A medium rare is anywhere from 130-140 degrees Fahrenheit. My personal preference is 137 but I'd gladly take anything between 130-140. The ribeye was also a thin cut which is generally easier to cook to the temperature of your choice. So I'm not sure why they fumbled it so bad. Service was great, employees are very nice, place was clean, I like the self service tea and soup they had, but the steak was too damn rare to rate it anything above a 2. They also serve it on a sizzle platter and it was still hella rare by the time the sizzle platter ran outta heat. For a place that calls themselves Steak King, or "Steaking", I would've expected better end results and better consistency. If they fix this issue I'd say this place is a 3-4 star spot. I'd like to come back, but have a conversation with your back of house staff on steak temperatures, first.
Steaking is located in a large plaza with many other eateries; therefore, that it is easy to find parking is no surprise. I visited with a few friends on the weekend, and the wait time was ~ 20 minutes. It's fairly small inside, so that's fair. Once sat, I made a dash for the complimentary cream soup, which is a childhood vice of mine. Unfortunately, I was left scraping the sides of the metal pot for remnants until they brought out the new pot. I was two bowls in, but I had only caved to hunger and an addiction to be snacking on something. The soup was a bit bland and sour, almost like airplane food. :/ There were also complimentary tea, but these were easy to pass on. For our meal, we had a pork steak and egg, which came with garlic toast and also a beef teppanyaki. The pork steak was way overcooked and tough, not the most fun dish to be chewing on. The beef itself was heavily marinated and way too sweet and salty to enjoy. Overall, eating here felt like a chore, and the best part was... finishing dinner since we didn't want to waste food.
Saw Steaking while grabbing food next door and made a mental note to pick up take out later that day after shopping around the plazas. Ordering was quick and easy online right when they reopened at 5pm. Picked up 2 popcorn chicken bentos, fried tofu, and sesame balls with red bean filling (about $50 before tax and tip) and it was ready within 10 minutes. Service was nonexistent when I got there- no acknowledgment and the first girl behind the counter didn't even talk to me. The second girl next to her was eating something and came over to ask for my name before handing me my bag and then walking away. Unfortunately the food was very underwhelming and bland. The popcorn chicken was quite dry and the side dishes were lacking in flavor. The sesame balls were tiny and the red bean filling was minimal. The best item was the fried tofu but it wasn't anything special. Not a huge fan after this one and only experience.
Seated promptly, the qR app didn't work properly and server helped us to order immediately. The place overall is clean and well lit but felt kinda greasy I guess due to sizzling iron and oil bouncing around. Love the owner printed his storyline on the wall. Food: 10/10 Rib eye - the steak was placed on top of the spaghetti so it won't continue to cook. Pepper sauce is not too spicy, just right. 5/10 beef on sizzling plate mild but actually kinda spicy, braised pork over rice was mediocre. 10/10 popcorn chicken - crispy juicy and tasty. 8/10 bread and soup - you have to pay extra as add on. 7/10 - Korean kimchi pot - tasted fair but nothing special, ingredients on lower end side. Will come back just for steaks and popcorn chicken for sure, soup and bread depends on how hungry we will be.
We came in on a Sunday afternoon, and got seated quickly. For three people we ordered the ribeye cooked to medium and the bone broth hot pot with vermicelli. Also added a side of popcorn chicken. They had a self serve of teas and corn soup. Soup was tasty, the star was the ribeye, a pretty good quality cut paired with the mixed sauce ( mushroom and black pepper). Spaghetti was perfectly al dente. Hot pot was standard and pretty good as well. Popcorn chicken was crispy and well seasoned, maybe could have gone just a smidge lighter on the seasoning. Staff were busy, don't expect check ins. A casual interior, it was on the warmer side and the doors were open, it didn't seem like there was any AC. Otherwise a pretty nice portioned place paired with quality and price, would recommend.
A couple of friends and I came here on a Saturday afternoon with a reservation. Steaking is located in the Pacific Commons Shopping Center, so definitely plan extra time for parking. The food was pretty tasty, but it's not quite as the iron steak we'd get in Taiwan. The flavor just tastes different, and so is the corn soup. The service was pretty decent though, as the food came relatively fast after we've placed the order.
I've came to Steaking a few more times after my first review. I don't know what has changed, but the experiences after the first visit has just gone downhill. Service wasn't great, staff were not really friendly or welcoming. One of the times the steaks that were ordered to be medium were pretty much raw - like difficult to cut raw. One other time the cut of the boneless short rib has a big part of fat on it. Also, the upgraded soup with puff pastry had extra shrimp & imitation crab inside, which was nice, but somehow the soup tasted a bit sour. They posted on their Instagram 3 days ago that they're officially starting this special event when you check out - if you participate in tossing the crescent shape wooden blocks and get a "holy cap", you can get different items/discount. However, when we asked the staff, they said "oh we are not doing that". Okay. I want to support local businesses, especially a Taiwanese owned business, but for the price & service...I will unfortunately hesitate to return in the future.
We came here for the Wednesday BOGO free teppanyaki and tried a few extra items as it was our first time. The teppanyaki here is solid, my favorite one being the duck breast one. So juicy and the mushroom sauce was flavorful. I will say it was in the expensive side. Even the king oyster mushroom teppanyaki was flavorful. However, the taiwanese spicy pot I got was wayyy too salty. I almost couldn't finish because of how salty it was. Weekday lunch they also have all you can drink soup and tea. The service was very friendly and fast, especially considering they were packed! Place itself is casual and a bit tight, but nothing terrible.
The popcorn chicken here is really good, so I'm giving them an extra star just for that. Perfect texture and seasoned just right! Loved the crispy basil too. I'd come back just for the popcorn chicken haha Steaking is definitely known for their steak skillets with pasta, sauces, and veggies. I ordered the ribeye, which was HUGE! Pretty good quality in terms of marbling and fattiness. The mushroom sauce was an interesting addition, not so much umami - but definitely sweet with tomato vibes. The baby corn and broccoli was fine, but the pasta was reminding me of Jollibee at one point... but overall an amusing and unique approach to a ribeye steak! Casual and fun! We also tried out their hot pot options, and we went for the Taiwanese Spicy Soup. The broth was very flavorful and the portions were okay. Lamb was thinly sliced and fatty. Lots of veggies and tofu varieties. Overall... this was decent, but not a must try!
Tried Steaking in Fremont recently and overall had a good experience. The ribeye (med rare) was a good size and cooked well; the mushroom + black pepper sauce combo worked nicely. I found the sauce to be pretty dam tasty, get it on the side and use it as a dip. The noodles on the side were pretty bland, nothing memorable. I did like how it came with a fried egg, corn, and broccoli. It also came with a salad which was like 2 bites and a piece of garlic bread. Priced around $27 for the meal which I found fair considering how much you're getting. Popcorn chicken was a standout and winner in my book. Crispy, juicy, and well seasoned. You can add additional salt/pepper and chili powder yourself, it's located next to the drinks. The beef hot pot unfortunately was a miss. It lacked flavor and there wasn't much in it for the price. A hot pot dipping sauce would have helped; I either missed it or they didn't have any. Stick to Tasty Pot/Boiling Point if you're craving hot pot and just order the sizzling hot plates here until they improve it. I did like that they offer free green and black tea and the self-serve setup is actually something I prefer. Service was decent, nothing amazing but no complaints either. Overall, a solid spot if you're in the area, but probably not somewhere I'd go out of my way for unless you're craving a sizzling plate with black pepper/mushroom sauce. I do appreciate the owner's effort to connect with the community and continuously improve the restaurant. I would come back and I wish them the best of luck!
This place hits the spot when you're craving Taiwanese style steak. I've gotten the new york and the boneless short rib sizzling plate and enjoyed both; it really just comes down to your preferred cut. They were accurate with the cook times and it came out a true medium rare. The meat doesn't sit directly on the sizzling plate so it doesn't cook much more. I suggest getting the mushroom and black pepper sauces combo on the side for more sauce. As part of your meal, there is also unlimited tea, soup, and garlic bread. You can get extra noodles without any surcharge. I also got the puff pastry soup and this will likely be a one time order. While the pastry is nice, the soup is essentially the free corn soup with 2 pieces of shrimp and a piece of imitation crab added. They also have teppanyaki, hot pot, and bento options, but I've not tried.

This is one of the best Taiwanese Teppanyaki sizzling plates that I've had ever. First of portions are so generous. I ended up eating my pork chop across two meals. They're also very generous with the sides. They have a buffet style self serve soup, and drinks in the corner where you can also get other seasonings I like that my plate came with a variety of vegetables and the sauces were very flavorful and the pork was pretty juicy. I'll have to come back to try the steak but no notes for the pork Teppanyaki. I like to get the mixed sauce with pepper and mushroom. My coworker got the shrimp steak though, and I do have to warn that those are just full shrimps on a sizzling plate that you have to peel and so I would not recommend that. Seems like a lot of trouble. I'll definitely be back to try other cuts of meat! read more
Very tasty food. I ate the New York strip steak. I ordered medium and it cooked to what I wanted. The AYCE soup and bread was delicious too. The staff were not so friendly though. Typical Chinese restaurants. But you go here for the food and really the service. read more

Thanks for your feedback and we will keep improving our food and…
This place hits the spot when you're craving Taiwanese style steak.

My husband has been on a pepper sauce hunt for a while and has been tying to the find the best ones in our area. This one popped up as a potential so decided to check it out. They do have a big selection of different steaks, chicken, pork, and seafood. That works out for those that don't eat meat or has to eat seafood because of lent. We opted to share a Ribeye Steak which is advertised for $27.49. That's ok considering it comes with: -a drink (either black sweetened tea, or green unsweetened tea) which you get yourself -salad (this was really really tiny) -garlic bread (this was a smidge of garlic butter on a toasted white bread) -soup of the day (THIS WAS MISSING, WE HAD NO SOUP) fail... The hot plate came out hot, sizzling ribeye on top of the spaghetti, with one egg, some broccoli and some baby corn. We poured the pepper sauce on top of the plate and watched it cook. The taste of the sauce went well with steak which was pretty tender. We also ordered the Taiwanese spicy hot pot (medium spicy) which was $22.99, so I can try it. But dammmmm it was so spicy! I couldn't eat it. My husband didn't like it either. He said there wasn't enough toppings for the price he paid and the spice was slight overkill. The prices seem higher than other places that serve these dishes. I suspect location and rent is higher so therefore prices of the dishes are also higher. Service was not good either. No one checked on us after they served us which is why they probably forgot our soup. read more

Wow this place is really good! No wonder it was super packed with ppl coming in and off the waitlist. For $23.99 you get a HUGE New York steak with noodles, veggies, and egg. I wasn't expecting the portion to be so HUGE!! Definitely had to bring home leftovers after. I also love how they give complimentary garlic bread. It went so well with the soup, the mushroom sauce with steak, and the sauce bar. Highly recommend if you're into sizzling plate style food, steak, or just want a full meal for a reasonable price! read more

We ordered the lamb steak and ribeye. My lamb and black pepper sauce were bland. The complimentary corn and carrot soup was also bland. The complimentary garlic toast lacked a garlic flavor. The thousand island salad was nice with cranberries added in as favor and texture. The only good thing were the complimentary teas. The unsweetened oolong was strong. The sweeten black tea was refreshing. Service was good on a Wednesday night. read more
My husband loves a good steak at good value. As soon as his dish arrived, I could tell why he wanted to come back. It came on a sizzling plate, initially quite rare but slowly cooks to the perfect medium rare over time along with the sunny side egg that also cooks over the course of the meal for a perfect runny additional to the steak. I was expecting an overcooked steak - boy was I wrong. My Taiwanese hot pot broth was super flavorful. It was loaded with veggies and other goodies (like fish balls, bean curd, quail eggs, tofu)! I chose the lamb which was just a bit tough, but I think I just left it in the hot broth for too long. I had to ask them to come turn the flame off, since it was getting too hot to even eat my soup. Thankfully they were very attentive and helpful throughout the meal. The meal also came with free corn soup and tea! Not that I had enough stomach space to enjoy too much of it. But definitely nice to have! read more
I ordered the rib eye steak with black pepper sauce. The black pepper sauce didn't quite hit the spot, but their garlic bread was pretty good. I was lowkey looking forward to corn chowder, but they had the veggie soup when I visited. The veggie soup was not bad. I tried a bit of the mushroom sauce, but it didn't stand out either. Ribeye portion was good and they gave a lot of noodle, which is both good and bad. The unfortunate part is my ribeye was undercooked (I ordered medium), and the iron plate was supposed to continue heading it; however I didn't have space to shift the noodle for it to touch the plate. Overall, solid place, but the sauces didn't quite hit the spot. I would rank this place higher than the other Taiwanese teppan steak in the Bay Area due to its portion size + soup is unlimited/self serve. read more
We enjoyed a family New Year's lunch at the Taiwanese Steaking in Fremont. It's such a great spot for groups and kids. All the tables around us were filled with families and large 5 person+ tables. We love that they offer unlimited black/green tea (green is so good, the jasmine is so heavenly). The corn soup was a little disappointing, it was basically like water and potato/cornstarch. Thick liquid. Was hoping for the cream of corn type of traditional Taiwanese soup. However, it is unlimited so that's that. Half of us got the hotpot and the other half got the sizzling meat plates. Dad loved his steak chops and sis enjoyed the chicken plate. There's tons of protein, and def enough meat for you to take home for another meal. The ventilation could be a little better in the shop. That's the thing when you get hotpot and sizzling teppanyaki plates together I guess! I would go with the Taiwanese satay, it's the most traditional and I love that they include all the goodies like quail egg, tofu fish cake, cabbage, and the option for vermicelli noodles. DEF get that. It was very flavorful where I didn't need to grab any extra trimmings/toppings--which I love that they have a separate "toppings bar" by the corn soup/tea area. The kimchi soup base was aight. Very kind and caring service. Thank you guys for being open on this holiday. Truly Taiwanese, and a solid spot for families. read more
The restaurant's name intrigued me and we wanted to try Steaking. For the two of us, we decided to try their mini hotpot and a sizzling plate. There are many options, but we decided to splurge and ordered the Japanese Miso mini hotpot with lamb, as well as the sizzling ribeye steak plate (10 oz). We actually wanted to get the 8 oz, but right at opening, they appeared to only have the 10 oz available. While we waited for our food, we helped ourselves to the unlimited corn soup and hotpot sauce bar! It was unclear to us if the various drinks on the side were also free and/or unlimited, so we ended up not trying these. The corn soup was nothing out of the ordinary, but its a nice feeling to know that it is "unlimited." After about 10 minutes, our food came out. We asked for our steak sizzling plate to have the sauce on the side, but in hindsight, I think it would have been better to leave it on, as the plate is still hot. I didn't realize but the sizzling plate's noodles, egg, and steak are primarily carried by the flavors of the sauce. The steak was cooked medium rare (as requested) but it felt like they have just added some salt and expected flavor to just spawn from the tomato/mushroom sauce on top. I wasn't a big fan of the plating either, since they basically plop a whole steak on the sizzling plate which made it pretty challenging to cut, with noodles served beneath it. It just didn't feel very thought out! The hotpot was pretty decent though. It was pretty standard for most personal hotpot portion sizes with everything being pretty customizable. The amount of food was sufficient for two, no more, no less was needed. With all thats said, I was pleased by the cleanliness of the restrooms! read more

Casual Taiwanese style teppanyaki joint. Service was a bit spotty as it took forever to get noticed to get seated despite 1/3 of the restaurant being empty. It's very much self serve from the QR code menu to the self serve drinks and corn soup, the silver lining being that the corn soup is tasty and unlimited. I ordered the lunch portion of the beef teppanyaki paying extra for a fried egg. This was not my favorite and I wouldn't order it again. I ordered it mild but mild is definitely on the spicier side of things. It was also very bean sprouts and onion heavy with only the tiniest amount of beef. Next time, I'd order the steak or something that's not sliced meat. read more
We were originally planning to eat at SOJO Ramen, not realizing it had permanently closed. After a full day of adventure and "shopping," we were hungry and all I could think about was having soup--especially on a cold Black Friday night. While walking around, I spotted Steaking. It looked fairly new, and most importantly, they had soup, so we decided to give it a try. The restaurant itself is quite small, and the tables are set very close to each other, which makes the space feel a bit cramped and not very intimate. Ordering is done via QR code, but before we could finish placing our order digitally, the server came by and took our order in person--which honestly felt quicker and more efficient. Our food also came out surprisingly fast. We ordered the Taiwanese Hot Pot, which came with a generous assortment of vegetables, tofu, king oyster mushrooms, quail eggs, bean curd sheets, sliced meat, and a choice of rice or vermicelli. They offer eight different soup bases; I chose the bone broth with vermicelli and added extra beef for an additional charge. The broth itself was rich and comforting--exactly what I was craving that night--and the ingredients were fresh and filling. However, my bowl arrived with pork blood cake, which I did not order and wasn't supposed to be included unless added separately, so that was a bit confusing and disappointing. Overall, the food was satisfying and hit the spot, especially for a cold evening, though the ordering mix-up took away slightly from the experience. The ambiance is more functional than cozy, but if you're looking for a quick, warming hot pot meal or sizzling hot plate meal dishes, Steaking is still worth considering. (Sorry for the delayed post--I just found this sitting in my drafts along with many other unfinished reviews!) read more
Steaking has been on my radar for some time. In this economy, who doesn't love a good steak at a reasonable price. They have a good selection of cuts all served with veggies, spaghetti, an egg and smothered in one of 3 kinds of gravy. My husband got the rib eye and I opted for the boneless short rib. I always order my steak medium because restaurants tend to overcook everything, but not at Steaking. My steak was actually served medium rare. I didn't mind. Better to be undercooked than overcooked, dry and chewy. I only wish they also had horseradish. Our steaks were good albeit not the best quality of cut. There was more grizzle and fat than we like but it was decent. The spaghetti was on the sweet side and the egg was overcooked. I did not try their complimentary corn chowder because it looked like it was made with diary, and the salad was underwhelming. read more

We ordered the Boneless Short Rib, New York Strip Steak with the mixed sauce, and the Fish Cake Tempura. When the fish cake tempura first arrived, we actually thought it was a basket of French fries! We ended up dipping it in ketchup before realizing what it was. While it was crispy and enjoyable, it was a bit bland on its own and benefited from the extra sauce. Both of us ordered our steaks medium rare, but they arrived closer to medium well. Fortunately, the steaks were served on sizzling hot plates, so I assume some of the additional cooking happened at the table. Despite that, the meal was still enjoyable. The overall presentation reminded me a lot of the Vietnamese dish bò né. The sizzling platter came with steak, noodles, eggs, and bread, creating a similar interactive and comforting dining experience. The bread was especially great for soaking up the sauces and flavors from the plate. One of the highlights was the corn soup, which was surprisingly sweet and delicious. The complimentary teas were also a nice touch and helped balance some of the richness and oiliness of the meal. The portions were very generous, and the meal included a variety of unlimited side items and self-serve options, making it feel like a great value for the price. The restaurant was clean, well-maintained, and organized. Service was excellent throughout our visit. Our server was friendly, attentive, and took the time to explain the menu and different options available. Overall, this isn't a place I would visit regularly, but I'm glad I tried it. The large portions, unique presentation, and variety of included items made for a fun and worthwhile dining experience. read more

Food was good! I came here with my family on a Tuesday dinner and the store wasn't super busy but definitely full of people. We were super excited to try because this is the first Taiwanese steak restaurant we've seen in the area and we wanted to come check it out. The satay hot pot was my favorite, the ingredients they added were super delicious. The popcorn chicken was also well seasoned. The hot plates were good but I wish they were much hotter, it didn't really have the sizzle we were expecting. Overall, the food was good and I would come back again! Service was a bit slow but to be fair there was only one person running the store at the time. Ambiance is light and casual, feels like a normal cozy restaurant read more
Pretty busy on a Saturday evening. Waited around 10 mins for my party of 3. Service was wonderful and employees were all very friendly. There was unlimited corn soup which was delicious and went well with the garlic bread. I got the 8 oz ribeye sizzling plate and chose the "mix sauce" which was black pepper + mushroom. The ribeye itself was ok and on the chewier end, but everything else was great. I loved the noodles that got crispy from the sizzling plate. The sauce was also quite delicious. Tried some of the pork chop and short rib too and I think the pork chop was the best, short rib came second, and ribeye came in last. Overall I think the restaurant captures a pretty authentic Taiwanese experience, food satisfied the cravings, and service was great so I would come back! read more

They seem to be known for their steaks. But we wanted hotpot. We walked in around Friday 5:30pm. It was not busy at all. It was only half full all the way up until we left. We ordered the Taiwanese Spicy and Bone broth. Broths weren't salty so that was good. But the bone broth could use some spicy or more flavor. It was a bit plain. Taiwanese spicy didn't have a spicy kick. It's more mild. Felt like the hotpot was a bit smaller compared to boiling pot or tasty pot. We got the beef and lamb meats for the hotpot. You also get to choose rice or vermicelli. They give a lot of vermicelli noodles. The lamb was a bit more tender than the beef. They have a complimentary tea (green or black), sauce, and creamy corn soup station. The corn soup was yummy. You can order with the staff or with the QR code. Fast service. Casual place. Should probably try their steak next time if we are craving meat. read more

First time trying this place along with parents.... We can't finished 2 orders of orders with 3 ppl.... This place reminded me the TW night market steaks..... Server was real welcomed and friendly although we only ordered 2 set menus along with upgrades for 3 ppl... *my mom can't eat much..... Still managed to bring back the popcorn chicken and desserts for wife and daughter as late night snack... Love their unlimited cream soup... *my dad had 4 big bowls.... Nothing fancy..... but it's warm and fulfilling.... Will definitely go back soon! read more

Steaking is a new night market styled Taiwanese hot plate steakhouse in my hood so I had to check it out. We came in on a Sunday lunch and the wait was minimal. As we sat down, we noticed that the decor was modern and minimalistic. They had a black theme going inside and it was clean. Here's what we ordered: 10oz Ribeye - 4 / 5 I had it cooked medium rare. The steak looks big but lacks thickness. The noodle underneath was pasta like combined with a broccoli, two baby corn, and a sunny sided egg. With a combination of black pepper and mushroom sauce on the side it tasted, good. Is it out of this world? Nah, but is this the taste I expected? Yes! You get refillable bread and soup. If you haven't had this type of steak before, give it a try, it puts eating steaks with a different spin for sure. Japanese Miso (mini pot) - 4 / 5 The broth seemed to be just miso alone. If you like miso like me, it'll taste good but if you are looking for more flavoring in addition to miso this may not be a good one to try. The stuff they've placed in the mini pot are fairly typical. Your beef balls, napa, tofu skin, sliced pork, imitation crab, and etc. are all part of the pot. Your carb of choice is between a cup of rice or vermicelli. I liked this mini hot pot, my wife thought it was a little heavy on the miso side so 4 / 5. The soup and garlic bread - 5 / 5 Well, they're free with our meal. It's pretty decent imo. Nothing to rave about but if you like a thicker styled broth mixed in with milk, this would be your jam. The bread is just garlic pasted toast, simple but it gets the job done. Service - 4 / 5 Most waitresses were Mandarin speaking. I happen to speak it so I had no issues joking around with them as they were fairly friendly. I can see though some issues may arise if you aren't of Mandarin speaking so that's something to keep in mind. Maybe try the QR code ordering if this fits you instead. Would I come back? Sure. But like other Taiwanese styled steakhouses, only if I feel like having this type of steak. This is definitely not an everyday steak place for everyone that's for sure. read more
This is a Very very Taiwanese style teppan cafe, specializing in proteins (beef, pork, lamb, chicken, fish, or tofu) and either rice or noodles cooked on a cast iron skillet smothered with a traditional black pepper or mushroom sauce. This spot only just recently opened and I don't think it's been quite on people's radars yet, but it's certainly a hit for me. Though the decor was very barebones, the restuarant itself was clean and well kept. The staff were very quick to get us seated and were helpful in explaining what was vegetarian on the menu. FYI the corn soup included in the skillet meals is made with a bone broth, not vegetarian. I ordered the pork and fish combo skillet whereas my partner got the vegetarian tofu skillet. Food came out super fast and piping hot. Be mindful that the hot skillet may splatter, so be careful if you bring very young kids to this place. The fish was tilapia and mine was perfectly cooked with a crispy crust and light flakey meat, it went surprisingly well with the black pepper sauce. The pork chop was also cooked perfectly. My partner enjoyed her tofu skillet as well. Generous portions with reasonable prices. We will be back! read more
Service 2* Food 2.5* Decor 4* Maybe I picked the wrong dish. Had chicken iron plate meal. Chicken not best ... seems like someone made a lot and scoop some onto the plate. For lunch, didn't want to order their steaks. Maybe that can be better. Soft opening... so service is very very slow or maybe just for my dish. Everyone around me has had their meal served before mine. Almost 40 minutes wait was not acceptable. Also asked for drink took 2 to 3 times to several servers before it was delivered. I asked for water and took 15 minutes. Definitely lots of room for improvement. read more
A Taiwanese sizzling plate spot; flavors were solid and satisfying. They also have individual hot pots if you're looking for something more personal. We got the braised tofu teppanyaki, which was good, though I wished they offered a fish option next time to switch it up. read more
