    Visited Sizzling Kitchen in Lowell yesterday. Immediately after walking in, every step I took, my shoes stuck to the floor with an audible snap. Yucky. Service was quick. Our lunches arrived and looked appetizing. My plate had a good amount of ingredients, but the chicken was tough and extremely dry. Like it was leftover from the day before and reheated. My friend's Pho with chicken had the same issue. Not freshly prepared chicken, but leftover reheated. Price point was good, as was service, but you can't eat either one.

    Lots of variety for food, you can get Vietnamese, Korean, Italian, definitely can find something you like. The portions are generous and flavor delicious! Will be coming back here again

    Dropped in here for some pho and was not disappointed. They had a nice selection of soup and other Thai cuisine and looking around at the tables next to me, it all looked good! I ordered the medium beef pho and the portion was huge, I was very hungry going into it and could barely finish it. The broth was very savory and was light and savory without being sweet or salty. It had a generous portion of meat in it as well as plenty of noodles. The waiter was so sweet and answered our many questions and made recommendations for us, great customer service. We also ordered some fries as a side that were good they were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We also ordered the lime-ade wnd it was delicious very refreshing and not too sweet or sour and went perfectly with the savory soup.

    Wooo!

    I was in the city of Lowell and my friend recommended this spot. AMBIANCE: Parking: A small plaza parking but there's also street parking too Seating: Inside seating, good for groups. There's about room for 50 people. Feels: Lot of history in this history. The "first" industrial city of US. You can see its historical elements from the architecture, the businesses, and working fields. It has a nice charm of a small town grit and grind culture. The spot itself is in the downtown area of Lowell with a lot of buildings and eateries. As for the restaurant, a pretty welcoming place with good Asian art, plant decor, and pop music. Good place for groups or a casual food adventure. FOOD: Sizzling Spicy Dry (Recommend) I chose fried fish as my protein, and it was well-cooked and battered, providing a good crunch. The ingredients of garlic, jalapenos, peppers, onions, scallions, cilantro and their homemade chili sauce gave it a good kick. Coconut Spring Rolls (Recommend) I picked the choice of shrimp as my protein and I'm glad about this choice. The shrimp was well cooked, good crunch, and a pleasant taste of coconut, add your usual spring rolls elements from fulfilling vermicelli, refreshing basil, and a nice slice of creamy avocado, you're in for a treat. Coconut Coffee (Recommend) Good, creamy, and sweet. This certainly gave me that boost of energy needed. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Dope! Friendly people and quick with the service. TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. Great selections, delicious food, reasonable prices, and good vibes. I dig this spot. It certainly gives the West Coast a run for its money. I'm definitely inclined to come back here again, I dig the flavors and along their service to the community. Best wishes to the Nguyen family for bringing all the good flavors to Lowell! TIPS: * Check out their website for daily specials/discounts! * Elderly friendly - able to make healthy meals for elders!

    parking lot is very small. there's plenty of street parking. it's a really bad area, lock you car door, don't leave valuables visibly out. there's a sign on the restaurant door stating lock your car. we watched a fist fight take place across the street. stopped in for dinner on friday. we ordered the chicken spring roll. the roll was hot from the fried chicken and the rest is cold. i like the temp difference. the sauce it came with was on the sweet side. we also ordered the vietnamese sausage rice plate. the sausage was nice. the other entree was the sizzling spicy dry squid. the squid was very nice and crispy. the sauce that coated was way too sweet. i literally got a sugar rush. there's more sugar in that dish than two scoops of ice cream. overall it was good.

    Wonton noodle soup, NS1. Special Beef Pho,
    Diane L.

    Was in Lowell running an errand and decided to find a Vietnamese restaurant as there aren't too many around Winchester MA. We ordered the teriyaki beef fresh rolll (chili dipping sauce) and the pork fresh roll (classic peanut sauce). Both were stuffed full and made well. Fresh and tasty. The dipping sauces were also good. For our main course I had the Phò with rare beef and tripe and it was delicious. A great broth that was savory but light and not sweet. Well balanced! My husband had the pork wonton noodle soup. Plenty of wontons (simple pork) and pork slices. Broth was sweeter than we would have preferred. But overall the food was fresh and great tasting and portions for the soup were generous. $58 for 2 appetizers, 2 soups, and 2 beers. Service was fine and accomodating I'll surely go again!

    Pho Supreme
    Shyang A.

    Forgot to review the last time I was here, but remembered to get a snap of my food this time around! Got the Pho Supreme which was decent but is huge! (XL bowl size runs you about $15). They have a good selection of dishes ranging for Chinese, Thai, Khmer, and even Italian pasta dishes! It wasn't a particularly busy night so the service was good and it was nice and quiet. Will be back here the next time I'm in Lowell!

    Shrimp Pad Thai

    Since Sizzling Kitchen has moved down the street, they feel more like a restaurant with a bigger dining room space. We can meet up with more friends here. They have a little private lot on the side of the building. Street parking is still a bit of a situation but not impossible if the parking lot is full. And the fusion menu features items from Vietnam, Thailand, Korea, and Italy. However, they did lose a little bit of their flare recently. Spring Rolls Combination- Pork, shrimp, lettuce, pickled relish, mint, and vermicelli, wrapped in rice paper. They were big rolls but they were not fresh at all. And the sauce does not compliment the rolls well. Chicken Parmesan Dinner Pasta- Pasta with marinara sauce, chicken parmesan with cheese. Served with a side of buttered toast. This had barely any flavor. The chicken was completely dry. Stick with the Sizzling Platter dishes. They never disappoint! Overall Service: They have Ubereats but I recommend dining here. The food is way better freshly made. Plus, they're welcoming and friendly.

    Pad Thai

    Stopped in for a Valentine's Day dinner. Started with the Sweet Cilantro wings and the Sizzling Kitchen fresh rolls. Both were excellent! The wings were crispy and hot with a slightly sweet and tangy sauce. The fresh rolls did not disappoint. Filled to the max with kimchi, veggies and more. My wife had the bibimbap with tofu and fried egg on top (see pic). Sizzling and steaming in its cauldron with extra veggies and brown rice (she stole my idea!) I had the Pad Thai with chicken (see pic) which was very good, fresh and light.

    Are they able to accommodate someone with allergies? Specifically nuts and sesame seeds/sesame oil?

    I have a nut allergy and have no issues finding things to eat here. Their online menu specifies if an item contains a common allergen. I usually just mention my allergies and they will accommodate them.

    How's the pricing?

    Very good value

The skin is slightly thicker than the ones I've had in New York, though they're still great. I never just order one thing here.

I keep forgetting this place is here until the weather gets colder or I'm craving dumplings. Overall Service: Always so nice.

But today's experience was sub par to what we are used to. I didn't leave the establishment because I was with others who wanted to enjoy the food. The first issue was we couldn't seat where we wanted, it had to be where the waitress or manager decided we were to seat. Not one client in the restaurant. Then she brought the bill before we requested no one was waiting to be seated, then refused to split the bill when previous times with a different server was not a problem. We split the bill to only 2 because thats all she could do, me paying for 4 people she denies my tip amount and says if I don't tip a 18% , theywill charge me $80 extra for a party of 6, again we were only 4 people. I am very disappointed with my service and treatment, unfortunately I don't know the server name but she is one that speaks more English. Will I go back and be bullied into tipping what they want? Probably no.

This was my nephew's favorite spot, so it felt especially meaningful to be able to honor him there. As a Korean family, sharing Korean BBQ and hot pot together felt very fitting. The food was delicious --fresh, high-quality meats and vegetables, rich and flavorful hot pot broths, and a great selection of soju. The sauce station was also a highlight and really elevated the meal. Everything tasted authentic and thoughtfully prepared. They even offered chicken nuggets and fries for the kids, which is such a considerate touch. So many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the food.

Usually get a couple of orders of wings and an order of the kimchi fried rice. Always good food, decent service. Our most recent visit was horrible. We had a gap between this most recent visit, and our previous visit, probably close to six months (I'm guessing October of 2025 was our previous visit). We went in not that long ago, within the last month or so. Dine in. I am pretty sure the business has new owners, at least the kitchen and wait staff were all different from our previous visits. We were the only people sitting in the restaurant. Other than a handful of Doordash orders, not a lot going on here. Service staff basically ignored us. Too busy looking at their phone. Chicken was dry, chewy. Kimchi fried rice was dry (how do you even pull that off??). After we were finished eating (ate maybe a 1/4 of the food) we sat there for like 25 minutes staring at our plates with the wait staff sitting on a table like maybe 15-20 feet away from us staring at their phone. I had to get up and walk over to ask for the check. So, in summary, food was bad, service was worse and to be honest, food was way over priced. We're never coming back to this place. Unfortunate too, used to be good and there are not a ton of options for Korean fried chicken in the Lowell area. You're better off at Bon Chon (well, unless they took a nose dive since our last visit too...).
