Favorite korean place in Phoenix, and great that it's in north Phoenix! Came in for Thursday dinner…read moreand it was nearly all full but we were able to get a seat right away. Glad they're doing well Chad, our server, was attentive, kind, and funny. Great service! Got the over the rainbow roll, tteok bokki, chun cheon chicken galbi, ossam bulgogi. - roll had tasty purple rice and fresh fish! Not fishy at all - tteok bokki had a little spice and loved how soft but chewy the tteok was. Even after taking it to go and reheating it, the tteok was nice and soft and chewy - chun cheon chicken galbi - great flavor without being salty. Asked for extra veggies and they were cooked perfectly so there was a crunch. Chicken is sooo tender

We didn't have to wait too long to be seated, and they took our order quickly. The food also came out in a reasonable amount of time considering how packed it was. My ramen was delicious and really flavorful, and the roll we ordered was also very tasty. Another cool thing is that there's a small market in the same plaza with treats and snacks. I noticed the host called someone to let them know their table was ready while they were shopping there, which I thought was such a great idea if you're waiting for a seat. Overall, great food, friendly service, and a nice atmosphere. I'd definitely come back!

We took our small family to Seoul BBQ & Sushi and it was such a wonderful experience. The food was…read moreabsolutely delicious, especially the meats , super fresh and full of flavor. My son couldn't stop smiling because the food and he loved the mochi ice cream there too Everyone enjoyed all kinds of meats, everything tasted so good. The restaurant is clean, nice, and very comfortable, and the service was quick and super friendly. It's a little bit pricey, but honestly worth every penny you spend. Such a great place for family time with amazing food and happy memories. We'll definitely be back

We ordered takeout from Seoul BBQ & Sushi and liked it. We specifically got the bulgogi bento,…read morekimchi fried rice, Korean fried chicken (with spicy sauce), goon mandu and shrimp shumai. The order came with some banchan; stir fried fish cakes, cucumber salad, and kimchi. The bulgogi itself was good but didn't have a very smoky flavor. It came with fried vegetable spring rolls, shumai and goon mandu. I didn't realize it came with the same appetizers we ordered but didn't mind as they were tasty. The only item we didn't care for were the spring rolls, which were mushy. The kimchi fried rice was ok, I'm not sure I'd get it again. I really enjoyed the goon mandu and would definitely order it again, it was crisp, the filling well seasoned and I especially loved the dipping sauce it came with. The shumai had an interesting spongy texture and nice shrimpy flavor which I enjoyed. Warning, the spicy sauce for the wings is not for the faint hearted! I was not prepared for that level of heat but if you enjoy really spicy food you'd like it. It was too much for me and my boyfriend who typically eats really spicy food. Thankfully, the sauce was on the side and the wings themselves were nice and crispy so we ate them without the sauce. The prices were reasonable and portions were large. I would definitely come back!

My favorite Korean spots in Arizona since there weren't that many Korean spots in Glendale!…read moreHowever, they have some pretty authentic Korean dishes! Parking is pretty small so parking can be a little difficult when it gets busy! Service is decent and they are very friendly but could be more attentive. It is pretty spacious inside with plenty of indoor seating. However, it can get pretty loud when it is busy so it might be hard to hear one another They offer Korean BBQ but it isn't all you can eat, as well as Korean dishes (tofu soup, bulgogi, bibimbap, etc.), and sushi. There is even a lunch special menu Mon-Fri 11-2:30pm and has a good selection of bento boxes! I've gotten their beef teriyaki bento box and it came with rice, salad, 2 piece California rolls, and 2 pc fried gyozas. Pricing is $13-20 The beef teriyaki is pretty tender, flavorful, and not too salty. The salad is underwhelming and didn't have fresh greens. The fried gyozas were decent, nothing special. The California rolls were ok, not bad. I would say it's 7/10. The bibimbap was very fresh and delicious but a little pricey ($18.95). The bulgogi was marinated very well and rice was super crispy inside the hot stone bowl. Seafood tofu soup was pretty good and not too overly salty. It was very flavorful and the tofu was very soft. I would say it's 8/10 Would definitely recommend and return

Looking for a Korean BBQ place after some Westgate activities, this was a great option…read more The wait was pretty long as they were clearly understaffed and very busy. However the staff were very friendly and apologetic about it. Being a holiday weekend, it was more than understandable. Once seated the server was very attentive, welcoming, and although very busy, brought everything very quickly. The place is very clean, well organized and ventilated. The bbq options were great! Nice portions, well seasoned, and great kimchi accoutrements. Even being a chain, this is a great place for Korean bbq!

I waited for about an hour for my table, got to the table and it was clean and the server was cool. We ordered our food and it wasn't like a tradition Korean BBQ where you get unlimited sides we got 2 and some white rice. They also gave us soy sauce and salt, no joke, that's it. I'm used to BBQ places where you get kimchi, green onions, fish cakes, maybe some bean sprouts with one other dishes. It was just missing a ton of sides. On top all that there is no sauce bar. Typically Korea BBQ has a huge selection of sauces you can make or they give you 3 or so to try since the meat might come unseasoned and semi frozen. This place thought, mhmmmm, fuck it, give them soy sauce, that'll do the trick. I was kinda bummed, I saw the reviews on Google and thought it might be worth a try. It wasn't and was just okay, the price was not okay. I paid 80 American dollars for a subpar meal.

As my first Korean BBQ experience in Arizona, it did me proud. First, the decor is fantastic. It…read morecould have easily passed as a Michelin restaurant in a New York Four Seasons hotel, or at the Aria in Vegas. It was simply.... cool AF. The food presentation and layout also delivers. Someone clearly spent time with the visual experience. This is what I call a restaurant designed for the 'Gram. However, a couple things that didn't quite full send. First, the service is incredibly slow. Staff was friendly, but "nice" doesn't equate to the textbook definition of hospitality. Things were slow, and unlike top end Korean restaurants I'm used to in NY and LA, where any floating staff can assist with cooking, things just took unnecessarily long. This is a pain point they really need to address, especially as a Korean restaurant. As a half-Korean, service and efficiency is part of our cultural pride, so this disappointed. The marinated beef ribs ("kalbi") were perfect. I grew up with this my whole life, and Sizzle's quality is right up there with kalbi royalty. If you've never had Korean bbq, and have only one chance to eat it THIS is the dish you want. The beef brisket ("chadol") was good too, but what makes this dish popular is the sauce. There are places in Korea and LA that people line up for specifically because of the chadol sauce. They didn't have a dedicated sauce, so if you've ordered and liked it, you're only getting half the picture. Dedicated chadol sauce is THE key, instead of the rudimentary salt or sesame oil. HUGELY disappointed! It's like trying pizza for the first time without tomato sauce, no matter HOW good the crust and cheese is. Other than that, like I said, they represented. However, I'd elevate on my 2 critical points, because someone could easily open up a competing restaurant, and wreck this place on service and sauce. Sizzle, you're very good, but you could be great!

@sizzle desert ridge mall…read more First, of all the Korean BBQ restaurants in Phoenix, their meat quality is the best. I applaud them for having good quality food, the prices reflect quality. On my last experience, Saturday March 28th, it was disappointing due to the way we were treated. We requested fish cake upon ordering and was told they just ran out, I commented/asked if that was truly the case as it is always out. At the very least, it's been the last 10 times they've been out of this side. We do go frequently, so it was surprising to hear him make this excuse. The remaining food service was average, it was busy so the server did the best he could under the circumstances. He attitude seemed fine and we moved on with our meal. Upon receiving our check, he decided to autograt our bill for a party of 5. I brought this up to our server and he stated it is managements decision to autograt parties of 5 or more (I call BS) and asked if it was because I seemed displeased at the ordering of our food due to the fish cake questions? I asked if I was profiled as someone who doesn't tip for any other reason? He insisted that all parties of 5 or more at the restaurant are autograt, at all Sizzles. At this point, if servers are now able to autograt any parties they feel a tip is not earned, it's no longer a tip and a restaurant charge. if I was profiled, it would seriously be disappointing. I'm happy to share all receipts showing a minimum of 20% at every restaurant, many cases even more, including at Sizzle. Deeply disappointing at this restaurant and may consider not going back. There are many options but to be treated this way is again, disappointing at best. I rated 2 stars due to the interaction and excuses for the autograt and will be writing a letter to the management but affirm the food/meat quality is very good, this was a very bad reflection of service and decision for the service staff to secure their tip this way. If they're out of fish cake, I do not blame the server and it is not their compensation that should be impacted but the action taken by the staff is questionable.

My friends and I were craving for some kbbq and was recommended to come here. I'm in town visiting…read moreand they are locals here so I was excited to see what their service and selection of meats were. Upon arriving, we immediately put down our names and waited no longer than 15 minutes (4 of us total). However, shortly after the line started to back up. I recommend coming around 4 pm to avoid longer wait times. Kelvin and Jimmy both were superstars and gave us top notch service. They made a great team and kept following up to ensure we were always fed or if we needed to replenish our meat order. Not once did we have to wait for the meat to come out. The ambiance is very rowdy and lively. We definitely enjoyed our time here and recommend it for its affordability and quality you pay for it!

I was vaguely familiar with Cupbop, as I saw them on Shark Tank and one was being built near my old stomping grounds in Las Vegas. For my meal, I ordered the titular item. I selected "Rock" (glazed fried chicken) and "Mandoo" (fried potstickers) as my proteins. I'm a baby, so I did level two spiciness. I really liked the bowl. It was flavorful and filling. Plus, I found the price to be very fair. My friend also enjoyed her bowl. We both tried their Yogo Vera drinks and found them to be a hit too. I would definitely return in the future.

The restaurant wasn't that busy for the lunch rush, and the waitress was very attentive and helpful. The only downsides I experienced was that there was no hot water running in the bathroom that I could tell, and no paper towels were available to dry my hands or open the bathroom door with. I also had a small fly hovering around me while I ate (I was inside). Thinking about this experience a little deeper however (after the bill) changed things for me a bit. Was the food okay? Yes, I think... Was it noteworthy? Not really. The stacks of premade rolls sitting on the counter made me think twice about ever eating here again. I paid around $45 for lunch after tax and tip. I ordered 6 pieces of nigiri, a tempura roll, a small bowl of miso soup, and an iced tea. I don't consider this anything crazy or over the top. Given this price point I expect hot water and paper towels in the bathrooms, especially if employees who are handling our food use those facilities. 1-star, won't be back... oh, and the soy sauce bottle was literally stuck to the counter. I had to pry it off.

Google AI: "(Curry) originated in the Indian subcontinent, but became popular in Chinese culture through British colonial influence in Hong Kong and then spread globally. Chinese curries are an adaptation of the concept, often using milder, pre-made curry powder, a smoother sauce, and incorporating classic Chinese flavors alongside spices like turmeric, ginger, garlic, and star anise."
