Sizzling Lunch - San Jose

The container of the rice me of the gods dish was not sealed properly, causing the cheese sauce to leak out and spill into the bag.

To get the best experience with this dish, make sure to follow the instructions on the wall. Spread the raw meat and rice evenly on the hot plate and let it cook for about five minutes. After that, the rice should turn a crispy golden brown at the bottom, and the meat will be medium-cooked. You can then add your choice of sauce. However, I found that the meat and rice were somewhat bland even after adding butter and pepper, so you definitely need to use the sauce to enhance the flavor. On a positive note, the meat tasted fresh without any freezer flavors. Ordering is done via tablet at the table, service was prompt, and everything appeared clean. I definitely recommend this place for a quick meal or to try the sizzling plate experience.

To fully enjoy this dish, be sure to follow the instructions displayed on the wall. Spread the raw meat and rice evenly on the hot plate, and wait about five minutes.

Overall, the meat tasted fresh without any hints of being previously frozen.

Decided to stop by and try this since was in the area and compare it to the restaurant with a similar name that this seems to be based off of. This location is located in a shopping center with a decent amount of parking. They have a couple outdoor tables along with many inside.The service was excellent and servers kept coming by to check on us outside and made sure to stop by again at regular intervals. Compared to the other chain, the food was a bit more plain and not as strongly seasoned as the other establishment. This could be good or bad depending on your taste. The portion sizes seemed pretty similar, though maybe slightly smaller here. We tried many of the appetizers which were pretty good and were a decent value compared to ordering another main dish. Not sure I would venture out here just for the food, though if I was in the area again. Service alone would bring me back though as it's rare to have such attentive service nowadays at any restaurant.

Don't wear your nice clothes to here. Joking aside, if you want some sizzle in your lunch or dinner meal, then Sizzling Lunch will give you that. Ordering is very easy since there's a tablet at every table. I normally get the garlic pepper beef rice and it comes topped with fried garlic, corn and butter. Don't take too long to cook your beef once it comes out. You have a good 5 minutes before the hot plate cools down.I like to add both of the sauces available on thr table and I like it a bit salty. Add, then taste and then add a bit more. Repeat if necessary. If I wasn't watching my budget, I would add an egg and other toppings and get one of the fabulous Sugar Mama sugarcane drinks. Staff is extremely attentive, friendly and is readily available even when the restaurant is super busy.
