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.

Loved everything we ordered! The crispy chicken was so juicy, the hot pot was packed with flavor, and the sizzling beef with the runny egg was probably my favorite. The New York Strip with lobster tail was cooked perfectly, and the baked puff pastry soup was so comforting. I also loved that they have complimentary self-serve tea plus a sauce bar with lots of different sauces and seasonings read more

Outdoor seating is available with a heater to keep you warm. They offer complimentary vegetable soup, and the steak plate came with a complimentary garlic toast. We ordered a 8oz Ribeye Plate with black pepper sauce along with a Taiwanese Satay Mini Hot Pot, which came out to be $50. We ordered the ribeye at 50% cooked, which was the perfect medium rare. The steak was very tender. The food was very filling for an affordable price. The servers were very nice and gave good recommendations! I would come back for their steaking plates. read more

Newish spot in a very Asian business musical chairs area. I literally cannot keep tabs on who's who out here. It literally changes every 6 months or so. Boba shops, sushi spots, all kinds of regional Chinese cafes, karoake studios come and go faster than the seasons change. 2020s flex yo! This is a pretty unique concept. Supposedly it is a pretty popular way to eat in Taiwan. Significant slabs of protein (steaks, lamb/pork chops, chicken, duck breast) cooked to your specs then put on a sizzling iron skillet with a good mound of thick noodles with a few garnishments. I love the essential gist of this as this is a very hearty and filling way to grub. But I'l breakdown some observations on also why this didn't really materialize as I thought it could, and how I'm not super gung ho on for sure returns. I liked it but I didn't love it. Beef Short Rib Platter ($25/3.5*) They give you 3 massive thick flanken cut short rib strips. Its a lot of meat, I'd say at least 12 oz worth, which is straight money in my book. You can get this cooked to your requested temp, which is also money cuz if you get this say at a KBBQ spot, it'll be cooked pretty well done there, here you get a choice. What I didn't like was that it was completely unseasoned, so they are relying for you to season it yourself via their sauce bar. Now those sauces will flavor your bites, but as a purist beef eater, nothing is better than seasoning your protein before you cook it. The second you season your food and apply heat to it, that's where the magic happens. Which is why this felt short for me, even though the protein itself was super legit. Then these big hunks of meat has to get cut on this sizzling hot iron skillet with ton of noodles in the way. It is just not a clean and easy way to eat IMO. Sure it is theatrical, but the logistics were super awkward. Also when it arrived the noodles were on the bottom of the skillet frying away and the meat was on top. I was like 'shouldn't the meat be in contact with the skillet and not the noodles' as it was aggressively sizzling away. But when you add your requested sauce to this pan then those noodles get flavored and caramelized and towards the end, those noodles kinda have the same effect as a pan-fried chow mein, which is kinda cool and more importantly quite tasty. But with all them noodles on the bottom I couldn't sear any of the protein anymore, and some pieces did have big pockets of fat that could have used some more searing/rendering. I ended up just cutting away those pockets of fat as they remained on the rawish-side. There's also a fried egg, some broccoli florets and some chunks of baby corn. So it was a very filling meal as I ate all of it except for 1 strip of beef which I took home. Service quite minimal as they'll assume most know the drill on this type of eating. They did point out where the sauce bar was, but beyond that pretty much zero table correspondence. I do want to try their lamb chops and duck breast as those should fare well in this type of cooking/plating. But I'm just not sure if I want to endure all the hoopla involved in this concept. 3.5* but rounding to 4 since I was pleasantly full after a meal here. read more
They only have 8 oz rib eye today. It's USDA choice and I wish it's more marbleized but you get really good deal for your meal with the free soup and tea self-serve. I wish they have a real steak knife that is sharp to cut the meat because it was very difficult for me to cut a piece of meat with unsharp knife. My friend had the chicken and fish which is not bad but I still prefer my steak. They can mix the sauce so I mixed the mushroom and black pepper sauce which is good. My friends black pepper sauce was too burn tasty and she preferred the mix one too. read more

Great service, clean and chill ambience, decor was nice, food was good- the steak was very reminiscent of cafes I used to go to growing up in the 626. My husband and I shared the large rib eye and popcorn chicken, it was plenty of food! Don't sleep on the Free tea and soup! Would come again :) the green tea was very good! read more

Came for Saturday Lunch around 1pm and didn't have to wait. Parking is in a busy plaza so you may have to be patient. The inside of the restaurant is casual - nothing special worth calling out. I came for their sizzling plate, which comes with your choice of protein, spaghetti noodles, baby corn, edamame, and a sunny side up egg. It also comes with refillable garlic bread and self-serve corn soup. You're able to choose the doneness of the meat and choice of sauce (black pepper, mushroom, or mixed). I ordered a medium steak with the mix sauce and it satisfied my cravings - good portion size, and you can always fill up with the refillable sides. Would come again! read more

Came here looking for a different restaurant (previous place had delicious beef noodle soup) and this restaurant replaced it! Decided to give it a try. Really good pricing for steak (it's also 10% off on Wednesdays). Got the ribeye steak with noodles and mixed sauce on the side, hubby got the 8oz ribeye. Bomb!!! Also don't sleep on the free garlic bread and the tempura fish cake. Excited to have a new restaurant like this in the area :) read more

I've been here twice now and have tried the ribeye sizzling plate and the Taiwanese spicy hot pot. The steak sauce (I got the mushroom + black pepper combo) was super flavorful and you can ask for extra if you need more. Recommend getting the steak on the rare side as it continues to cook on the sizzling plate. Loved the unlimited cream corn soup and garlic bread, such a nostalgic combo that totally reminds me of home. The hot pot was no joke on the spice--there's no option to choose the level--but it was really tasty and packed with ingredients, so definitely worth it if you like heat. Service was awesome both times, really friendly and attentive. Overall, I'll be back for sure and can't wait to see this spot get even better! read more

Food: 5/5 Loved the 10oz ribeye sizzling steak. It's such a steal with the fresh salad bar, soup, and black tea. The steak was perfect, but my favorite part was the garlic bread and cream soup. It is such a throw back to my Taiwanese American steak meals in Taiwan at Sizzler. Ambiancr: 5/5 I am a fan of the decor and logo. The ambiance was perfect for catching up with the girls. It's always great when the music isn't too loud. Clean bathroom. Service: 5/5 quick service, food came out quickly, and was able to flag down a server with a glance. We didn't feel rushed at all. read more

We want to try new food place and happen to walking by this place. This review is based on the food only. We come here for lunch on Saturday morning. We ordered steak, 2 hot pots, Taiwanese hot pot, and the bone broth hot pot, we also add on the five tofu , the soup with pastry on top, none of them were good, we didn't much of them, customer service was good, just not the food. I don't think will be back. read more

Food was eh. Every dish comes with garlic bread and a salad. Garlic bread is literally a piece of wonder bread with garlic butter slapped on one side. Didn't eat the salad. Got the New York steak with Shrimp, shrimp came with head on and whole shell, not very cleaned up, could still taste the sea on it. The new york steak i got medium well, my boyfriend got medium and they had so much fat, the flavor was ok but they seemed to be low quality or ill prepped. Noodles were ok, overall not the best place, my boyfriend's review was even lower than mine. Very small restaurant but cute, service was ok - we asked for coke and our food came out before the soda, we asked again and were told there was no coke. Water is also room temp sitting in a plastic water vase on the tables. Would think it's good based on looks but we were super let down. read more

The ribeye steak tasted amazing and liked how it came on the hot plate. Went for lunch on a weekday not many people inside. A lot of solo diners. They have soup and tea self service you can get on the side which was fun and yum. The kimchi hot pot had a lot of flavor and came with a lot which made it worth it. read more

Visited Steaking with my parents about three weeks ago. I was actually surprised to learn that the owner previously operated Ain't Common, a place I've ate at before. The food was great, but I think the sauce that's poured on the steak could definitely be a little spicier. read more

If you are craving for some Taiwanese style sizzling hot plate steak, this is the place for you! We asked for medium-rare of the Rib-eye steak, and it was served on the sizzling Iron Plate with spaghetti. The Rib-eye quality was okay, but it was very flavorful with a warm and pink center. We also liked the half and half black pepper and mushroom sauce. The staff were super friendly and quick at getting you food on the table. Not sure if it's a family running the restaurant but definitely gives me that hospitable feeling. Overall, I recommend coming here for a fun dining experience. read more
