I knew there would come a day when my doctor would say...you need more protein and vegetables. I searched on Yelp for just that place where I could get a good healthy Asian meal. My favorite. I found Sizzling house and my son and I decided to eat a good meal. I chose the Wagu steak special and it was cooked perfectly. The steak was delicious and I couldn't get enough of the sizzling vegetables. Everything was seasoned well and tasted amazing. Don't let this hidden gem of a restaurant get passed you. Go and give them a try. Oh and most of the ordering is done through your phone. Interesting. Just want to mention that parking is very difficult at this location. I suggest going early or try and find street parking. read more

I LOVE this place -- fell in love with it the very first time I came! I've been coming here a lot more recently and it never disappoints. My go-to order is the Black Pepper US Wagyu Beef with Udon Noodles -- I've tried other dishes, but nothing hits the same way. The flavor, the sauce, the noodles... perfection. The service is always quick, and I've never had to wait long for my food, which I really appreciate. Plus, they give complimentary ice cream after your meal (such a cute touch!). Their creamy soup is also a must-try and only around $3 -- so good. The ambiance is super nice and spacious, perfect for casual dates or dinner with friends. Overall, food is a 10,000/10 for me -- definitely one of my favorite spots! read more

Service was quick. We sat down, scanned QR, clicked our selections, and food came out quick. I would say we agreed that the Black Pepper sauce is stronger than Pepper Lunch. Could be a hit or miss and depending on your preference. The Black Pepper sauce was hitting us half way in. Rice quantity was more than the ratio to meat though. Price was decent. Friend got the Tomato Rice Noodle Soup. He requested for no mushrooms on the comment section but seems like he was served mushroom. Inconvenient if they don't even look at the "special requests." Quantity is decent to the price though. Overall, I think this place is okay. We'll stop by if craving pepper rice again. read more

Sizzling House - US Wagyu Beef Sizzling Pot - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Diego, California

We stopped by the restaurant for a quick lunch while visiting San Diego. The restaurant is spacious and can accommodate around 70 people. The server guided us to the table and brought the water and menu right away. We ordered the following items: Chicken Noodle Soup: The bowl was huge. Like 12 inch in diameter and enough to feed 2 people kind of huge. The noodles were cooked perfectly, neither too hard nor too soft. The broth was on the light side but still flavorful. The chicken strips were tender, and the mixed veggies with Szechuan preserved mustard tuber added a nice savoriness to the broth. US Wagyu with Rice and Black Pepper + Mushroom Sauce: it was sizzling for sure with the smoke coming out from the iron bowl. Besides beef and rice, it was complemented with edamame, corn and cheese (I wished the ingredients were more complex or exciting). All ingredients went well with the flavorful black pepper and mushroom sauce. The wagyu's texture was slightly on the tough side. US Wagyu with Udon and Black Peper + Mushroom Sauce: The noodles were cooked perfectly with stir fried like firm texture from sizzling iron bowl bottom. Like the rice bowl, the ingredients went well with the sauce. The prices were reasonable and service was very good. It is definitely a great option for those who like teppan style dishes and noodle soups. read more

I finally got to try this place out after always frequenting Pepper Lunch when I'm in the Irvine area. I was seated immediately and we were instructed to order via a QR code but we were handed physical menus so that we can look at pictures. My go to is always the Wagyu Beef, so I went with what I know. Of course, the meat is never enough, wish there was more for the price point. You can order extra meat on the side if you want. Like Pepper Lunch, they bring out your dish in a sizzling plate. Actually, the robot waiter came to the table, and the waitress came by to serve it to us. I had the Black Pepper sauce, which was good and they provide an ample amount I couldn't finish it but was pleasantly surprised that they give a small serving of your ice cream of choice. They had vanilla or strawberry that day. Of course I chose strawberry and it was great palate cleanser after the meal. Definitely not crowded when I went, restaurant was clean, and seating was comfortable. Definitely will return again! read more

CAST IRON FOOD (3.4 stats) ... in other words "fried rice" cooked on a sizzling plate. - FOOD: ok - PRICE: good deal - SERVICE: ok - AMBIANCE: typical Convoy place restaurant Been to several restaurants that offer sizzling plates and been to better ones. This place is ok. Sit, order by QR code, choose your carb, protein, and sauce, robot delivers food, go to front or call server and pay the bill. :: ORDER :: COMPLIMENTARY SIDES - picked radish and kimchi. Picked radish were average. The kimchi was dry and tasted off. US WAGYU BEEF ($17.99) - Rice. Sauce: black pepper. Didn't add extra but by default comes with corn, cheese and edamame to mix. Also, came with a free tea drink and went with the iced green tea (sweetened) which wasn't too strong and refreshing to drink. First of all, the robot didn't make it to my table before malfunctioning and the server had to pick up my sizzling plate from the robot and deliver it. When my sizzling plate came out it had a paper wrapping the edge with the skyline of San Francisco (lol not SD) - thought that was funny. My plate was sizzling but not to the point where oil is splatter off the sides. To not waste the kimchi I I added that into my meal to give it a hint of heat. I enjoyed my meal although nothing special about it as it felt like I mixed whatever I had in my fridge and made a fried rice. I've definitely had better sizzling plates than this but this was pretty decent for the price. Sadly, I left my left overs on the table and realize it when it was way too late. To say the least, portion to price was very fair. Been nice to have ate the left overs. Until the next review... read more

But really you want me over for the extra Star was the service for some reason maybe because it was not too busy or server spent extra time explaining the menu and explaining the variety of combinations and explain explaining what was his favorites, including speaking to my mom in Chinese, I think that they took extra care to help show what was important and what was worth picking. We got the salmon sizzling plate and the chicken sizzling plate and I would say overall the chicken sizzling plate was pretty good but the salmon one seemed pretty good also not too dry. It had a lot of options to add in which was both with corn and edamame and onions so for all I would say it was definitely worth Checking out and getting a sizzling plate. The novelty of cooking it yourself and trying it was fun and you could literally taste the heat. During the lunch special, they give you a free green tea and that was pretty good too. I did the mushroom sauce and I would say again overall this was pretty good value for the amount of food that they give you. read more

Stopped by Sizzling House with some friends and, by chance, ran into more friends who were already eating. The staff was awesome and quickly moved us all to a bigger table so we could sit together. Ordering was easy--just scanned a QR code at the table. I got the Sizzling Wagyu Beef. It had solid flavor, and I liked how the rice got crispy on the hot plate. It did feel more like a fried rice dish though--would've been nice if there was a bit more beef. The Mala Spicy Beef Noodles came in the biggest bowl I've ever seen. The noodles were super tender and the broth had great flavor. We also tried the Red Oil Wontons--tasty, but the wrappers could've been thinner. Overall, pretty solid food and really great service. My wife thought she ordered a soda but didn't realize it didn't go through--staff noticed and gave it to us for free, which was a nice touch. I would definitely come back. read more

Ordered takeout from Sizzling House and it was honestly a waste of money. The rice was hard and dry, almost like leftover fried rice that had been sitting out too long. There was barely any meat and the portion just felt unbalanced, mostly rice with no flavor. It didn't taste fresh at all. For what they charge, I expected something decent but this felt lazy and thrown together. Really disappointing overall. Wouldn't order again. There are plenty of other places that actually care about their food, even for takeout. read more

Worth the drive and worth the circling of the block or 3 to find parking. The restaurant is open and inviting and has plenty seating for any party size. The restaurant also has ample windows for natural lighting for the best foodie pics! They have regular menus then to order, you would use the QR code on the table. Easy as can be. Food - Chicken Wings - a MUST have for an appetizer. Cooked to perfection and tossed with some sort of savory and sweet dry rub coating. I've never tasted chicken wings like this. It was delicious. - We all ordered the U.S. Wagyu Beef sizzling plate; I ordered the curry one. I typically do not like curry (except for Thai curry) AND meant to order the black pepper sauce instead of curry but ate it anyway and it was delcicious!!! You can order extra portions of the beef, mushroom, corn etc. too. Plate came out sizzling of course. Such a large portion - one order can be shared by 2 or 3 people but I would stick with 2 max. I almost ate all of mine alone because I was STARVING haha. - Beef Rice Noodle (Mala Spicy) with toasted peanuts. It was okay, there was a flavor I didn't really like about it so this was just OK. We believe there was 5 spice in it maybe? Not sure but wasn't a fan of the spice but the noodles and peanuts stuff in the soup were yummy. Large bowl which you can share for up to 4-5 people. The service was exemplary! Waiters came to check in on us and always refilling our waters. I'm definitely bringing my parents here and will be back again soon. This place is Cheryle approved. :) read more

Pepper Lunch, but make it SD! These sizzling plates make for a scrumptiously filling meal. I went with the US Wagyu Beef sizzling plate with Black Pepper Sauce. It comes out pipping hot in a skillet served with a generous mound of rice, slices of beef, edamame, corn, and mushrooms. You just drizzle your sauce of choice on top, mix, and enjoy! A perfect example of a simple meal done right. When comparing this to the famed Pepper Lunch chain, I actually found myself preferring this spot a smidge more! More veggies and bigger portions? They've got my vote. read more

Got dinner with some friends here on a Tuesday night. The parking in the lot is usually compact so I prefer to park on the side streets. There no line when we came and the service was pretty quick. They were good at refilling waters. The food was alright. I got the sizzling vegan chicken with udon and black pepper sauce. The flavor was not bad but not something that I would come back for. My friends got the Sizzling Beef with rice and black pepper sauce and said the same things. The miso soup wasn't as hot as I would want and the taste was like it came from a packet. read more

Sizzling house is located in the plaza by China Max as the former The concept is similar to that of Pepper Steak up in Irvine. They specialize in sizzling plates of protein (US wagyu beef, Japanese A5 Wagyu beef, salmon, shrimp, chicken, vegan chicken) served over rice or udon. You get to select from 3 different sauces: black pepper, mushroom, or Japanese curry. You can also add toppings such as edamame, corn, cheese, and egg. They also serve ramen. There is a QR code that you can to place your order. If you have any questions, the staff are very pleasant and are helpful. I got the US wagyu beef on udon with mushroom sauce. It comes out in a sizzling plate similar to that of bibimbap. You pour the sauce over and mix the ingredients together and making sure the protein gets fully cooked. It smelled so good and tasted even better! I loved the mushroom sauce over the black pepper sauce. Just a heads up, you will come out smelling like your order so be prepared.

Is it your first time? Not sure what to get? Order the Wagyu sizzling steak with rice, mushroom sauce, and an egg. When it comes out, pour the mushroom sauce around the perimeter of the plate so it sizzles, sprinkle some black pepper on top, and add two scoops of chili oil. I'm telling you!! It's so bomb. Mix and break your egg last. Ughhh! Mine was amazing! The portions are really good. All my girlfriends could only eat half their plates and took the rest home. I'm big back, so I finished the whole thing! The sizzling rice plate is simple, comforting, and satisfying. I also ordered the chicken karrage to share, and it was solid too! All in all, I'm most definitely coming back. Tip: Park on the side street since the lot is chaotic. read more

A new Taiwanese-fusion restaurant just opened in the old China Max location. Though labeled Taiwanese, it has a strong Japanese influence, specializing in teppanyaki and rice noodles. We went on a Saturday at 6:30 PM, expecting it to be quiet since it's new--but it was packed! We ordered the black pepper A5 Wagyu teppanyaki, salmon curry teppanyaki, tom yum lobster rice noodles, takoyaki, and fried sweet potato taro balls. Despite the premium ingredients (Wagyu and lobster!), the total was only around $100. The food was impressive! The sizzling teppanyaki dishes smelled amazing. The A5 Wagyu was melt-in-your-mouth tender, pairing perfectly with the black pepper sauce. The crispy rice was a nice touch. The salmon curry was good but slightly overcooked; the curry was mild and needed a bit of salt. The tom yum lobster rice noodles were a surprise favorite--generous portions with lobster, mussels, fish, and quail eggs. Even the broth was too good to leave behind! The takoyaki and sweet potato taro balls were solid. Service was excellent despite the crowd. Overall, a fantastic dining experience--great flavors, good portions, and friendly service. Definitely worth a visit! read more

The sizzling plate is not hot enough. Barely made the rice hot. Shrimp was cooked nicely. The curry sauce was just ok. The pepper sauce was better. We didn't know that we can try other sauces on the side. Edamame was very basic. Something that we can get at a grocery freezer and microwave it. It's self service ordering which we didn't like as a first time customer. Employees assume how it works and what we want to order. I would have preferred to talk to someone to give recommendations on what's popular to try. For the price, I would rather go to a Korean Tofu place for the sizzling bowl and get all the side dishes included. read more

Sizzling House - Rice with shrimp - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Diego, California

This space used to house a Taiwanese hot pot restaurant before the fire at China Max consumed a good chunk of the aging structure. Now that the rebuild is nearly complete, Sizzling House has opened for business within the past week. The inside was clean and modern with a seating capacity of close to 100 customers. The cuisine style was sizzling plates and rice noodle bowls. Eight appetizers, two don bowls (currently unavailable), and drinks rounded out the menu. I requested the Red Oil Wontons as an appetizer and then asked about the sizzling plates. The two columns on the menu page looked identical including the prices. I was informed that the left set of photos contained white rice and the right set of photos had udon noodles as the carb. I ultimately selected the US Wagyu Beef as the protein with udon noodles and Japan curry sauce. Two other sauces were offered, Black Pepper and Mushroom. A complimentary bowl of miso soup was provided first followed by the wontons which came as six pieces with chili oil, cilantro, and green onions sprinkled on top. The spiciness of the dumplings was moderate for my palate. The sizzling plate arrived as a round cast iron dish with a wrapping around the perimeter that instructed the diner to "Stir & Mix To Enjoy." The contents were steaming hot and had lima beans, corn kernels, and red onion as veggie toppings. The curry flavor was mild but hearty. More meat was needed as you can see from my photo that the amount of beef was sparse. I did enjoy the sizzling style of cooking as I haven't encountered anything quite like this in the Convoy District. It wasn't a typical individual hot pot because there wasn't a broth. I would describe it as meat and gravy over rice/noodles cooked in a cast iron vessel. The current soft opening period promotion was 15% off the bill which I am unsure how long this discount will continue. read more

First time here and decided to treat myself and got the Japanese A5 Wagyu - definitely worth the price in my opinion! Service is amazing, ordering is super easy since you can do it from your phone. The only gripe I have is that parking can be stressful depending on the time of day. No fault of their own, that's just the nature of Convoy street. Just be prepared to spend quite a bit to find parking and dealing with San Diego drivers - it makes the food all the worth while though! read more

There is a big parking lot but the commercial center does get pretty busy and parking spaces can get a little tight. We were welcomed and seated right away. You're able to order through the QR code at the table. Menu is simple but they offer many choices from the appetizers, sizzling plates, to soup dishes.

The complex is hard to find parking so usually end up on the streets nearby. Thankfully, there's lots of tables so I can't imagine very long waits once you're inside. The service was polite and pleasant but the ordering experience was not the best. They give you paper menus but the expectation is that you'll notice the QR code and order that way. The menu seems simple but not all the combinations for the sizzling plates are allowed together and the choices weren't made super clear. I'm still unclear why they asked for how well done I wanted the steak - it's going to cook the same either way. It would be nice to see more drink options. The atmosphere is a bit loud, we felt like we were yelling across the table to be heard. Between the music, the sizzling, and the delivery robot noises it was a bit much. Food came out quickly. Taking off one star for the wagyu beef being tough and the mushroom sauce not being very good. But the American wagyu steak and black pepper sauce was fantastic. As many other reviewers have said, the two wagyu steak dishes seem to be the highlight. All the flavors came together perfectly. I imagine the Japanese a5 was more tender but the American one was perfectly fine. Definitely going back! read more

Similar concept to "Pepper Lunch" - protein with rice on a sizzling hot plate. We got the wagyu sizzling rice with pepper sauce and it was tasty. Good portion size as well. I added corn but it did come with corn AND edamame as mentioned in another review. We also tried the mala noodles with beef. There is a bug with their ordering system where the field to "change broth" is required, so you are forced to pay an extra dollar to select mala broth even though it's the default broth for that dish. We voiced this with the server and he took our order manually to bypass that issue. Mala broth is pretty spicy. Noodles were tasty but not super stand out. Chicken wing appetizer was okay - good portions for the price but I'm not a super big fan of the seasoning. They are super super new (still installing TV monitors when we came in LOL) so I think there are a few improvements they can make to make the experience even better! - Fix the QR code ordering app bug - Hand out the appropriate utensil based on the order (we did not get chopsticks or a spoon to eat our noodles until we asked) - When serving food, hold the bowl at the bottom and not touch the rim of the bowl for hygiene reasons - Get Spotify premium so customers don't have to keep listening to ads haha The sizzling menu items are unique and I think will be able to attract more people to visit. With these minor adjustments the overall experience will be even smoother. read more

To far to go to Pepperlunch, so this is the best you can get (thus far) in San Diego. Service is very quick since I assume the hotplates are ready to go they just need to put your requested ingredients on your plate. Then it cooks while you wait. They should ask you if you've ever been here or is this your first time. Something in that nature because we were like where's the menu. YES, there was a QR code at the end of the table, but we didn't see that instantly. Anyways, you order right on your phone and you don't have to just use one phone to order the entire table. You can write your name and I assume that QR code is specific to the table, so it automatically just gets added to one bill. Kinda neat since you can just take your time and customize your order. This time around I had the black pepper sauce, but I think I will try the mushroom one next time. I like that the sauce comes in its on bowl, so you can control how much of it you want on. Didn't do the A5, but that is something I want to try in the future. Only down fall is the parking. Ugh...prime eating time forget it. You are parking on the street and walking. We actually had to park at the very end of the street and walk. You can wait, but it is much faster to find a parking spot on the street and walk. Even street parking might be a little tricky. We got the last one on the street. See you guys soon....we will be back. read more

If you're craving for some comfort food with sizzling beef and rice or udon noodles, this is the place in San Diego. We ordered the sizzling wagyu beef rice with pepper sauce and the sizzling wagyu beef udon noodles with curry sauce. Both were very filling and delicious. Generous portions. I really liked the curry sauce with the chewy udon. They also have noodle soups which I want to try next time. Great spot with ample seating and it wasn't crowded on a Saturday afternoon. I like that each sizzling entree comes with a complimentary tea beverage as nothing is free anymore. And there's a robot to help the waiter deliver the entrees to the table. read more

The concept reminded us of Pepper Lunch. We came in an hour before closing and didn't feel rush at all. Once seated, you will order from your phone using the provided QR code. We were advised that they use Wagyu beef for their beef plates. The food came out quickly. Generous servings and delicious flavors. Be warned, you will come out smelling like your food. The other staff came to check up on us. Overall it was a good experience. Given the cost of plates nowadays, you are looking at closer to almost $20 a plate. I like how they offer appetizers, soups as well as udon noodles. It is in the same complex as China Max and Bonchon so parking be a little bit difficult. read more

You order your food by scanning a QR code at the table and it'll send your order to the kitchen. Quick and easy interface for this process! I opted for the US Wagyu Beef with Udon Noodles and black pepper sauce. I paid extra for an egg, which was a perfect addition to the dish! The egg made the noodles nice and creamy with the black pepper sauce having a great umami flavor. They also have tableside chili oil which adds a great spicy, smoky flavor.

Saw this Pepper Lunch dupe recently opened down in San Diego, so we had to come check it out while they were offering a soft opening discount. There's a Yelp waitlist that you can check into once you get to the restaurant, but luckily we were able to be seated immediately at 6pm on a Sunday. Order off the QR code, which compiles everything into one order per table. But you'll have to pay with an actual staff member at the end. I ordered the US Wagyu Beef Sizzling Plate and added extra corn since I didn't realize the sizzling plates already come with corn, cheese, and edamame. I don't think it's worth paying extra for any of the toppings...my friend also ordered extra cheese and there was only a tiny bit more. For $1, I feel like they could give way more. Maybe they could also consider updating the menu to say "extra cheese" instead of "add cheese" to make things less ambiguous. We also got quail eggs on the side, one order comes with 3 eggs. Overall, I wasn't super impressed by the sizzling plate for the price point. I'd still consider coming back later though after they're more established so see if anything has changed/improved, or to try their other menu items like the noodle dishes. read more

This restaurant is situated in a very busy plaza with limited parking so I'd recommend coming before the busy crowd during dinner. When we got here right before the rush so it was great. I have a big family so it was spacious and comfortable for us. You order using your phone with a qr code. Food comes out pretty quick and sizzling hot which ia exactly what I love! Portions are very generous especially the soups. A few in our party ordered soups and didn't realize how large the portions are so just keep that in mind. We also ordered the wagyu beef, shrimp and salmon to share. We shared several of these dishes amongst my kids. We ordered both the mushroom(definitely recommended for kids) and black pepper(not recommended for kids as it is spicy). I thought both were tasty. They should probably warn people who are ordering for those(like kids) the black pepper is a bit overpowering and kids/non spice eaters will not enjoy it. I thought everything was good but for the price point the salmon portion should be bigger. It's cut way too thin and the piece is tiny so you're left with tons of rice at the end. Sure, I could have ordered another side of protein but that's besides the point. Overall, staff was nice and food was good. I'd like to come back again to try the udon stir fry. read more

Sizzling House is reminiscent of the chain Pepper Lunch, with its sizzling hot plates that you mix your food on. They had a 15% discount for soft opening, so we decided to come check it out. - PARKING - This lot, similar to many other Convoy lots, is very impacted. We ended up parking on an adjacent street and walking a block. - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - They have a Yelp waitlist tablet available, but since it wasn't too busy when we arrived, we were seated immediately. You order off the QR code on your table, and food came out within 10-15 minutes. We had to ask for water cups initially but throughout the meal they refilled often. - FOOD - Wagyu Udon ($17.99): Take note that all sizzling plates come with corn, cheese and edamame already. We thought we needed to add them on, so we ended up with extra toppings. I do wish there were more topping/add-ons. I chose the Black Pepper sauce and I liked it more than the Mushroom sauce my fiance got. I also wish they had extra sauce on the table. The wagyu pieces were tender, but you don't get much. I'm not a huge eater but was able to finish this meal. Although a bit fuller than I like to be, I was able to leave without leftovers, so that made me feel like the price was a bit high for the portion size. - OVERALL - Glad to have a sizzling plate restaurant in San Diego, but unsure if I will return. read more

Was excited to try out this restaurant since they opened recently! Unfortunately, my experience was far from pleasant. Menus and ordering is done on your device via QR code. Prices are higher than I expected, but I went for the US wagyu beef rice dish anyway. Food looked promising at first, but turned out to be extremely tough and chewy. Certainly not worth the price. Aside from the meat quality, the customer service was definitely lacking. I came with a group of 6 and the majority of us had incorrect orders. We told the employees that something was wrong, but the most they had to offer was "sorry". Not once did they offer to fix what was incorrect. If you're coming in a big group, make sure to order everything on one device. Their ordering system is not quite there yet and I was informed there were still technical issues if everyone orders on their own device. I won't be coming back. read more

I went to Sizzling House yesterday, and I had a decent experience! I went around closing time (around 8pm), and there was a short wait for a party of 2. When our table was ready, our host sat us but unfortunately did not explain that we had to order off of a QR code. Although we were able to figure it out, it would be helpful for future customers to receive this explanation (especially for older adults). We both ordered our own Sizzling U.S. beef wagyu w/ the black pepper sauce & an egg add-on. It actually took quite a bit of time for our food to arrive (probably around 45+ minutes). During this time, no one really came to check in on us, so we were unsure if our order even went through. Later, the food came out HOT and sizzling. I loved this because I dislike room temperature meats and rice. They provide you with your sauce on the side, which you can pour on top of your plate. I wish they provided you with a tad bit more sauce though--it felt a bit insufficient in comparison to the amount of rice and meat you receive. I had to instead add more pepper on top to get a tad bit more flavor. The food, itself, was delicious though. The beef was quite tender, and the dish was savory. I definitely recommend adding an egg to your plate--I think it paired perfectly with the rice and meat. Overall, I think there are a few areas that Sizzling House can improve on. For instance, although the workers were nice, the service was sub-par. I think they checked in on our table maybe once after we ordered our food. I also think their food could improve so much more with just a tad bit of extra sauce. read more
