Reviews for Sizzling Lunch in Mountain View, CA
At Sizzling lunch the food quality is good but the quantity and price are not. For $15-20 I'd expect either a larger portion or... some sides to be included. Verdict: nice but overpriced. Read more
I tried curry beef rice with cheese for takeout and it tasted good.
Sizzling has always been consistently delicious! Glad they opened this location since Cupertino's closed. I love the garlic beef... rice, the garlic butter always hits the spot. I also can't go without adding the teriyaki sauce--yum!!! Little busy on aSaturday afternoon but had no wait for 4 people. Read more
Fast and generally tasty, however, it feels lacking on ingredients. You get a beef, rice and a paltry amount of green onions and... corn. I think for a full $15.50, there should be more stuff, even just more corn and green onions would make things a lot moresatisfying. The space is nice and the hot cast iron is satisfying. Read more
Call me bias. I've tried these type of restaurants in Japan, Hong Kong and America. If you like black pepper, you will like... this place. They are very typical... Garlic butter for the rice, tender beef served raw and you cook it yourself. You have todo it right to make it tastes good: 1. Add black pepper and garlic shoyu (soy sauce) on to the beef and rice. Then you flip thebeef and let it cook. 2. Mix the rice with butter, black pepper and garlic soy sauce but just mix the top and spread it flatbut don't touch the bottom. That's how you get crispy rice on the bottom b. Viola! I like this place because it's not thatbusy, no wait and food serve fast cause you are cooking it, not them. Read more
I'm so excited to have this close by! But I'm worried that it's not in a prime location so it may not survive... please visit!... It's just adjacent to the Safeway. Their specialty is that they serve a variety of carbohydrates on sizzling plates, includingpasta, udon and pepper rice. They have one veggie dish (tofu with mushroom, carrots and bean sprouts). Their salad portions arequite generous for $5 (compared with other Japanese restaurants). The prices are quite reasonable indeed, around $15-18 rangewhich is not too bad in the current inflated economy. The portions are not super huge but they are quite filling. And of courseI love the food as I love anything served on sizzling plates, they just have that great flavor. Their pepper rice came with ablob of garlic butter, yummm. A somewhat misleading thing is that they have teriyaki sauce and garlic sauce, despite its redbottle the garlic sauce is not spicy. A quick tip is if you don't want your carbohydrates to char (some people prefer that ofcourse), just make sure when it arrives mix the food properly. For my veggie tofu dish, I made sure to get the tofu to grillrather than the rice. Read more
Super excited to have Sizzling Lunch open so close to me! Came here the other night for their VIP night and grand opening and... they did not disappoint!! I absolutely love the concept of getting your meals on a sizzling platter and having the option to adddifferent sauces/spices that are on the table for you. The food was SO delicious and very fresh! Sizzling lunch is such a greatconcept and I can already tell this place is going to be successful. We got the following dishes: Deep fried gyoza - therewere 8 pieces!! Way more than you normally get at a restaurant & OMG they were delicious. I could eat 100 of these in onesitting. Takoyaki - one of our favorite dishes and they were very flavorful. Had a good amount of octopus in them and thebatter was fried perfectly. Tempura shrimp - fried perfectly and very flavorful Garlic beef pepper rice - oooh man this was sodelicious. The beef was tender and very fresh. This was a huge plate of food and definitely enough for me to take as leftovers.Mouth watering deliciousness. Salmon pepper rice - the salmon was fresh and cooked perfectly in the sizzling plate. My momadded teriyaki and she was super happy. She's pretty picky about her fish and she finished the whole plate... Salmon udon -boyfriend really enjoyed this dish and also finished the whole plate. He said the salmon was super fresh, and he liked that theyhad options to add shoyu garlic or teriyaki to your liking. Beef pepper rice - added an egg, mushrooms and garlic butter. Thiswas an amazing dish and the add ons really made it perfect. Honestly, I don't think I can get sick of this place. The staff andowner, Benny are so incredibly nice and welcoming, and the music and decor make the place pop. Benny came over to our tablemultiple times to make sure we were well taken care of. Great atmosphere, amazing food, super nice people... what more could youask for? Read more
