    We order the ribs and chicken pot and both were great. It comes with rice. The side cucumber dish delicious because it was not overly acidic or sour.

    Trotters

    Fresh and yummy food. Got the angus beef sour soup and trottwe it was very flavorful. It was so good my boyfriend ate up half my soup!

    Yellow braised beef

    Great foods with amazing service. Attentive and accommodating. I ordered a few new dishes today such as Sichuan spicy fish and tomato crispy pork. I also ordered a lamb brisket as well. Restaurant was clean and neat. Earned my 5 stars ratings for sure!

    I've always seen this place whenever I stop by for Chicha, but I'm so glad I was able to finally try it! I brought my dad here since it's probably something he would like. Walking in, it's a very casual joint with a few seatings, but definitely enough. Especially how quick they serve the food here. This restaurant is also a bit more modern, so it's may be more technologically advance for Chinese elders. You order through the phone and checkout on the phone; however, I'm sure the server will help order too since they're proficient with Chinese. My dad ordered a braised pork rib bowl and I ordered a boneless yellow chicken with medium spicy. I wasn't sure what to expect, since it was my first time trying this. Our bowls were served quick and each entree comes with a bowl of rice. I only really tried my own, which was the yellow chicken and it was pretty good! It has a herbally taste to it, but it's quite flavorful. Portions are great as well. I tired the pork and it was really soft and tender, my dad really enjoyed this one a lot. We will visit here next time for a quick and easy meal.

    I come visit here all the time! My favorite is the Yellow Braised Pork Ribs. It comes with potato and broccoli. The whole pot is seasoned well and made perfectly. The meat is soft so it falls right of the bones. The potatoes are steamed well and flavorful! I also recommend the shredded potatoes which is a cold dish; it is slightly spicy and crunchy. Recommend this as a great local restaurant!

    Chicken and intestines with pickled combo

    I've seen Ikka many times since it's in a popular plaza, but I never tried it until recently. One night, when I couldn't decide on what to eat (the real struggle, iykyk), I decided to give it a shot. Came around 6:30 PM, and it was busy, but I snagged a small table in the corner--solo diner advantage! The concept is simple: they serve a variety of braised items in sizzling stone pots. I ordered the braised chicken and intestines pot, medium spicy, along with a side dish of cucumber, woodear, and tofu skin. The side was refreshing, but nothing special. When the pot arrived, it was sizzling hot, and the sauce was delicious--savory with just the right amount of spice. The chicken was tender, and the intestines were perfectly cooked. This is definitely the kind of dish that begs for a couple of bowls of rice! Overall, I was pleasantly surprised and can't wait to come back to try another pot. I'll definitely be adding this to my rotation.

    Yellow Braised Beef Brisket
    Rachel W.

    The pots all came sizzling hot! My favourite was the chicken and pork intestines pot, since the chicken was juicy and the pork intestines were not smelly at all. Really liked beef and potato pot also~ the potato slices were very flavourful. The lamb pot was good as the lamb was not overly gamey. The golden soup with beef was decent, but it was a bit too salty for my liking and only had a few slices of beef. The side dishes were good~ we liked the shredded potato and seaweed. Restaurant was clean and service was efficient.

    What a neat new find! We got the popular Yellow Braised Chicken, as well as the new Xingjiang Golden Tomato with Pork, which is perfect for folks who like tomato. Both were delicious, and a nice combo of contrasting flavors. We look forward to being back!

    One of my spot to go to around here in San Gabriel They serve the food fast. It's delicious!

    My wife loves hot pot and various soup type dishes, but we saw that this "sizzling pot" restaurant was slightly different than a standard hot pot establishment. I came here with my wife for dinner to see what it was like. The AC was not on fully, so it was definitely a bit on the warmer side. It's a small hole in the wall restaurant and the service was decent. I ended up getting the boneless chicken and added a sous vide egg. My wife got the braised chicken with pork intestines. The chicken was quite tasty and the sauce was nice. The pot came with a big bowl of rice. The sous vide egg that I paid extra for, definitely complimented the chicken and the rice. The serving size was just enough for me, and I did not have any leftovers. Overall it's a solid restaurant, nothing amazing but definitely worth a try.

    Yellow braised pork trotters
    Diana C.

    You can always count on me to order pork trotters whenever it's on the menu, and @ikka_sizzling_pot has a deliciously quick version, where they braise all of their meat in clay pots and are ready in only 5-10 minutes! In addition to the tasty flavor, pork trotters also provide you with collagen (benefits include maintaining healthy skin, relieving joint paint, and contributing to muscle gain) Cold side dishes and soups are also a must to balance with the very hot (temperature wise) main entrees. Bonus: spice levels can be customized for their sizzling dishes We had: Bone-In Yellow Braised Chicken, Yellow Braised Pork Trotter (bone-in), Cold Mixed Shredded Potato & Carrot, Cold Tribute Vegetables, Tremella & Pear Soup

    My wife and I were visiting San Gabriel from Northern California, looking for regional Chinese dishes we hadn't tried before. On a recent trip to Southeast Asia, we had a long layover in Shanghai, where we sampled local dishes that completely changed the way we thought about Chinese cuisine. We realized there was so much more depth and variety than we had ever experienced, and we hoped to find something similar here in Southern California. San Gabriel did not disappoint -- the area is packed with incredible restaurants showcasing different Chinese regional specialties. We chose Ikka Sizzling Pot because it reminded me of the flavors and dishes we had fallen in love with in Shanghai, and I was hoping to relive that excitement. We ordered the chicken with intestines, the lamb, and the pork ribs. Normally, when dining at Chinese restaurants in Northern California, I bring my own Thai bird's eye chilies because no matter how spicy I ask for, it's rarely enough. But not at Ikka. The food was packed with bold flavors and just the right amount of heat -- enough to work up a good sweat. I also noticed a light numbing sensation in my mouth that took the experience to another level. That's when it hit me: this was the famous Sichuan peppercorn that I had only heard about from food explorers like Sonny and Mark on YouTube during their trips to China. I've had mala hotpot and Sichuan-style dishes up north, but I've never truly experienced that signature peppercorn-induced numbing satisfaction -- until now. My wife and I finished all three dishes and couldn't help but laugh (and feel a little embarrassed) when we looked around and saw other couples sharing just one dish. But hey, don't judge us -- it was that good. Truly a life-changing food experience. If you're in San Gabriel and looking for authentic, bold, and exciting flavors, Ikka is a must-try.

We ended up getting a set for $168 this time, which came with 6 dishes. It's also $35 per lb for lobster, and I asked for the smallest one. Apparently, the smallest one was 4.8 lbs, which was another $168, so I'm not sure if they upsold me. Anyways, the food was fantastic and everyone enjoyed it. This is what I thought about the food we got. House Seafood Soup - Simple and clean soup. Good portion, and it was soothing to eat. Lots of squid. (4/5) Clams with Spicy Sauce - Large clams with tons of meat, and the sauce was fire. Always a good choice. (5/5) Crab with Salt & Pepper - Loved the seasoning, and the flavors were solid. (4.5/5) Thai Style Beef Stew - First time trying this, and it was good. A bit different, but the meat chunks were tasty and the overall flavors were good. (4/5) Sautéed Pea Sprouts - Nicely done vegetable dish. It's simple but refreshing with good flavors. (4/5) Fried Whole Fish - This dish was gone so fast because it was delicious. Nicely fried and not overly seasoned. (5/5) Signature Lobster - I feel like you have to get this here since it's their specialty. It's pricey, but in my opinion, it's the best and freshest lobster in town. Tons of green onions, seasoned well, fresh meat, and lots of lobster roe. (5/5) Service was good, and they didn't automatically add a mandatory tip for a large party. The total came out to around $364, which is pricey, but the food was phenomenal. Parking - Valet only, but they have street parking in front. I parked on the street since there were plenty of spots on a Wednesday, but I assume it gets busy on weekends.

They opened and closed the door for us which was a nice touch because it was busy inside. We ordered the pork ramen, pork buns, and pork soup dumplings. On to the food! Pork Ramen: 3/5 They give you a hefty amount of noodles and pork. They use a thin noodle here which pairs well with the broth. I truly do believe this was around average for ramen as the flavor in the broth was not as strong or savory. The highlight of the entire entree was definitely the pork, which was tender and flavorful. I probably would not order this again. Pork bun: 5/5 The pork buns were soft and fluffy, almost too good looking to eat. There was the right amount of soup and meat inside that made for a wonderful bite full of flavor. Not dry at all. Would recommend ordering this if you visit. Pork Dumplings: 5/5 The star of the show, the dumplings. They were soft and just like the buns, they had the right amount of soup + meat which made for a delicious bite every time. My toddler even ate some and she's usually super picky about meat. Overall, I'd definitely recommend coming here for the other noodles, the dumplings, and buns. You can skip on the ramen. I would 100% come back here to dine in. Quick note that parking gets full pretty quick here.

Since my husband and I were in the general area, we decided to get a late dinner on a Saturday night. We walked in around 8:45 pm and were acknowledged by an employee after waiting for maybe 5 minutes asking if we would like a table. But the strange thing was that I had told the the employee who acknowledged me that I wanted a table for 2, he didn't sit us. He looked like he was trying to clean the table but then just walked away... but luckily another employee saw us and asked how many for a table. But anyway, after looking over the menu, we ended up ordering: A11: Fish Siu Mai with Rice Roll, $13.99 prior to tax- I ordered this dish, which was plenty for one person (this dish is found under the appetizer section of the menu). I actually really love rice noodles and also fish siu mai so this was a great combination for me. And the peanut and soy sauce mixture poured all over reminds me of when I had freshly made rice noodle in Hong Kong many years ago. But my husband would prefer the rice noodle not to have any of the sauce (or on the side so he can maybe just dip it if he wanted to). I think this dish could use less of the peanut soy sauce mixture too but I still overall really liked this dish. D9: Grilled Pork Chop with Black Pepper Sauce, $16.99 prior to tax- This dish comes with your choice of either steamed white rice or noodle. My husband decided to have rice. He thought the pork chop was delicious and perfectly cooked. He also really liked the black pepper sauce that he picked to go with the pork chop (I know you can also pick a mushroom sauce but I don't recall if there was a 3rd sauce you can choose from or not). Portion wise, this is more than enough for one person since you are getting 2 pork chops. This is actually one of my mom's favorite dishes to order when she goes to any Hong Kong style cafes too. ----------------------------------- (Total= $34.23 after tax, prior to tip) Service was minimal. I spoke both Cantonese and English (well actually my husband spoke English and I spoke in Cantonese. I am just trying to make myself speak Cantonese more) so you shouldn't really have a problem ordering here. I really like the food and I am glad this place does open late. And it was pretty busy as time progressed while we were here. We also saw a few large groups come in and the staff moving quickly to put tables together to accommodate these big groups. Overall, we had a positive dining experience and would come back.
