Sizzle & Crunch Vietnamese Grill - Bellevue

I was worried about the portions but they did not disappoint! I always get extra meat when I go to the restaurants and under the vegetables there is a generous portion of chicken and beef. I made my own bowl and I gotta say this is one of the best spots in Bellevue for lunch right now. The meat is tender and flavorful and the vegetables make this bowl feel refreshing and healthy while still being super flavorful. Tip: get an extra side of the cilantro sauce it’s fire 🔥

I first had the U District Sizzle&Crunch and loved the broken rice with marinated meats! The sauces are delicious and the added lettuce, other greens and vegetables plus cucumbers make you feel you’re eating a healthier meal. They give such good portions! Aka Chipotle but Vietnamese bowls. It’s probably not authentic Vietnamese but it’s more like a guilty pleasure visit. The service was great! The restaurant was very spacious, tall ceilings and most importantly, clean! Drinks are extremely sweet which isn’t for me but if it’s your thing, by all means, get the sweet drinks

Sizzle and Crunch in Bellevue impressed me with its food, even though the experience started with a bit of a hiccup. There’s no free parking nearby, and you’ll need to go through the paid building garage to access the restaurant. Once inside, the food quality made up for it. Everything is made to order, and the ingredients tasted fresh. I did notice the food safety rating posted, which gave me a moment of pause, but it didn’t affect the overall flavor or experience. The restaurant has plenty of indoor seating, and while the outdoor area may technically belong to the building, it was available and pleasant for dining. I appreciated the condiment station with peanuts and hot sauce as self-serve setups like that help keep the line moving and let you personalize your dish. Overall, a solid spot for a fast, flavorful meal if you’re in the area. JY review

Ordered the steak salad for dinner with a Jasmin milk tea. I liked the salad, the steak had a char flavor which was great, and the portion was decent. I felt that the tea was a bit too watery for my liking though and I didn’t see an option to select the ice level when I ordered online, though I was able to customize the sweetness. the order was prepared quickly. Note that it can be a little tricky to park while picking up.

Decent Vietnamese quick food. I walked in, didn't expect it to be that good. Turned out, i had a good meal with reasonable price: fresh salad and a good amount of toppings. Will be back for sure 👍🏻

So glad Sizzle&Crunch open the first store in eastside. We ordered the signature platter and slurping noodles. Overall, the meat is well cooked, they taste much more tender, flavorful than other similar brands. Pork belly is a must try if you like spicy food. I am also surprised by the texture of the rice - I am not a rice lover but I want to finish all rice in a bowl for the first time. Definitely worth a try if you are nearby and look for quick bites.

super good!! I got the build your own vermicelli bowl with grilled beef! It looked small but after I finished, I was completely full. The quality of the food is great as well. The meat tasted fresh and all the sides (corn, cilantro, and etc) were fresh and extremely tasty! Would definitely come back again!! The workers were patient and lively as well.

- Food is great, longer wait during meal time - This place is popular and a lot of tech ppl working in downtown Bellevue come here for lunch (mostly takeout), so the wait is quite crazy and the line is usually super long. I ordered through Ubereats 10 minutes before 12, and they really made me wait for 40 minutes for the food lol. I can't blame them, the line basically maintained the same length if not longer. Plus tons of people ordered takeout as well. Note that they don't update you when the order is ready, so you have to check with them constantly for your order status. This is our second time here, and we ordered the beef sirloin steak vermicelli bowl and the salad bowl. I also got the Jasmine milk tea, and regret it since it's quite watery. I'd recommend skipping the drinks here since they fill the cup with ice first, so you really don't get much from here. Plus it's not even good... I don't know, maybe the Vietnamese coffee is okay since they fill the cup with tons of ice everywhere. Their main dishes are always good and balanced, so just get your meal here and skip the drinks. Be prepared for a longer wait time during lunch on weekdays, and you will be good.

Sizzle & Crunch was my go-to takeout spot on the ave while I was living in U District during college. I used to go here every week! I was so excited to see a location in Bellevue now that I live on the east side. There is a nearby parking garage, but they did not validate parking as of May 2025 and it's not easy to find other nearby parking. As for the food, everything tasted just as I remembered. The restaurant is a counter service, Chipotle, build your own style. You can get a banh mi, rice bowl, salad, or vermicelli noodle bowl. I love being able to choose exactly which toppings and they were very generous with the portions. I'm not eating meat right now, so I got the tofu in my rice bowl and it was pretty good. I wish they fried their tofu extra crispy and tossed it in sauce. It's more of a braised style. My bf got the beef and he said it was tasty. I would recommend the grilled pork if you can't decide though, because it's the best!Overall, the bowls have classic Vietnamese flavors in a convenient to eat format. The restaurant had a good amount of seating, but we ended up taking the food to go and eating at Bellevue Square Park on a nice sunny evening. Will definitely go again and I want to try their drinks next time!

Quick Bahn mis for the go. It's got a chipotle-like vibe factory line to build your own sandwich or bowl. We got 3 of their fully loaded everything on it BB specials that filled up our party of 3 for just over 50$. Overall the food is tasty but the ingredients in the containers don't look that enticing, and the tables were dirty both times we went. Good for a quick bite but could improve on some areas.

Amazing food with good portion. A relatively healthy, fresh, and flavorful option. Price was great for this set up too. I really enjoyed it as a workday quick dinner. Will definitely come back and try more

So glad Sizzle & Crunch has made a home in Bellevue, making this one of my favorite lunch spots! Sizzle & Crunch serves delicious, casual Vietnamese eats that you can easily customize, satisfying your craving while getting exactly what you want or don't want. My colleagues and I tried coming here soon after it opened and the line was out the door during the lunch hour on a Friday, so yeah, it wasn't gonna happen. But then I tried again on a different Friday and had much better luck. There was a line, but I didn't wait too long as it goes by pretty quickly. There's some seating inside, but noticed a lot of people were getting takeout instead of dining inside for lunch, so it may not be too difficult to find a seat here. And since it's a casual eatery, you order and pay for your food with the staff at the counter. I ordered the house pork special with a half and half base of salad and rice with the grilled pork, pork belly and all the usual toppings of carrots, cilantro, cucumbers, jalapenos, a fried egg and that cilantro sauce that is delicious! At the counter, they also have small cases of sriracha, chili oil and fish sauce for your order that you can take. The house pork special was delicious, with that grilled pork meat and veggies that were light and added some crunch, which is what I love about Vietnamese food. The lightness from the crispy veggies always brings it all together! I would happily order this again, but everything on the menu looked good, like the slurping noodles or banh mi. I shall be back.

Ordered the steak salad for dinner with a Jasmin milk tea. I liked the salad, the steak had a char flavor which was great, and the portion was decent. I felt that the tea was a bit too watery for my liking though and I didn't see an option to select the ice level when I ordered online, though I was able to customize the sweetness. the order was prepared quickly.

A huge addition to the lunch options in downtown Bellevue, and luckily it's only a block from my apartment. I've been anxiously waiting for the opening ever since I saw the signage for it on the building. I've gone several times since it has opened, mostly for lunch. Note that it gets VERY busy during lunch, and the line may be long. However, the line tends to move quickly. If you don't want to wait, I recommend just going after the lunch rush or for dinner. I've gotten various rice bowls, doing my best to try to different protein options. The grilled beef and the pork belly are my favorites - they tend to be the most tender. I then appreciate the accompanying chopped lettuce, pickled carrots, charred green onions, cilantro sauce, and crushed peanut topping. It all creates a very fun rice bowl with varying flavors and textures that, when combined, create some very enjoyable bites. I did happen to try their Thai Tea once, and would not recommend. Maybe it was my mistake getting Thai Tea at a Vietnamese fast-casual restaurant, but it was way too sweet. Pricing is great given it's in downtown Bellevue. I usually pay under $15 for my rice bowls, and their portions are more than enough to fill me up. It's well worth the price. This spot is located across from the Hyatt Regency in Amazon's two new buildings. There's some street parking along 106th Ave, and there are some retail garages in the surrounding buildings. The interior is very casual, with several small tables that could fit 2-4 people at most. I wouldn't recommend coming here with a large group. I appreciate having such a delicious, quick, and affordable option near me - would definitely recommend as a lunch option.

Finally, a Sizzle & Crunch location on the Eastside! They are still at their soft opening phase so you can tell that they're still fine-tuning things. I came here on a Saturday to grab some lunch. Street parking is available nearby. Upon entering the store, the store had a similar layout like Chipotle. Instructions are displayed on the menu where you build your own bowl. I decided to get something healthy and got the salad bowl with chicken for the protein. For the toppings, I got one of each veggie items along with their sauces. Overall, the bowl was delicious! They filled the bowl with generous portions of meats. The ingredients were fresh and tasted similar to their other branches in Seattle. This will be my go-to Asian Chipotle whenever I needed something healthy. I haven't tried their rice/noodle version yet but I'm sure it will be delicious!

It was pretty good, not sure that I would come here again. To be honest, the food did not really feel Vietnamese at all. I got a bowl with rice, chicken and a bunch of toppings but it was just grilled chicken without a lot of flavor. The cilantro sauce was good but I wish they put more. For the price, I would honestly just go to chipotle.

I loved this place!!! The food is so good!! I got a grilled pork vermicelli bowl and it was awesome! My coworker got the banh mi and also said it was fantastic! The food is priced well. I don't think you can get tastier food for a better price in Bellevue (downtown at least). My bowl was $12 and my coworkers banh mi was $9. Because the food is chipotle/subway style of building your meal as you go across a counter, you get your food quickly too! Perfect place for a work lunch and can't wait to come back! I've been waiting for this place to open and have been to their UW location before. So glad they are in Bellevue now!!! Interior is clean with lots of tables so plenty of places to eat on site, but the food comes in to go containers so you could easily grab and go!

Parking wasn't hard to find, but it is $4 for 30 minutes and $8 for an hour. Luckily I asked them about validation and they have these paper barcodes for a free 30 minutes and so I was able to get a discount. Online pictures made it seem like it was a dine in place but it really was fast vietnamese food like chipotle and poke where you go down the line and make different combinations. We got their special banh mi and slurping noodles and then I made my own rice with grilled beef, lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, cilantro, green onions, a sunny side up egg and green sauce, which I highly recommend. Since the to go boxes were really full, which I'm thankful of, the food was kind of hard to eat without making a mess, especially the noodles because they were really stuck together and you had to pick it apart. I also couldn't find a plastic knife to cut my banh mi in half so I just tore it. At the very end of the meal, since we were the only ones that sat down and everyone else got it to go, it wasn't very intuitive whether we were supposed to clean up after ourselves because the trash cans were tucked away by the entrance. If I worked in the area, this definitely would be a place I come for lunch every so often though. Decent and the people are kind.

I ordered 2 of the Grilled Pork Banh Mi sandwiches. Both with extra pork, cilantro and jalapeños. One sandwich had all the Banh Mi ingredients and the other had only vegetables and mayo sauce. Very disappointed as I am not a vegetarian.

Tasty food, fast and efficient, a great grab and go lunch that's both healthy and delicious. Get the house recommended toppings and you won't go wrong -- their sauce is especially delish.

Friendly staff and nice seating area. Good portion size and value, food is very fresh. Highly recommend for a quick healthy meal!

I am addicted to this place! I can't believe people take one star off for the wait. First of all, it has the fastest line I've ever seen in this country. Yes, a ton of people flock here for lunch, because it's ridiculously tasty, but the line moves FAST. I've since changed my lunchtime just so I can come before or after the rush because it's torture to wait even 3 minutes to chomp into their Bahn Mi's. Seating and tables are so comfy, but I usually just take it my to my condo, across the road. The staff are super eager to greet you, take your order, fix your food, and check you out. If all that wasn't enough, it's hands-down the best price for any Bahn Mi in this area, let alone the absolute hands-down tastiest. Don't forget the pack of complimentary peanuts on the way out! My only complaint is that there isn't drone service to drop on my patio and that they aren't in my building. lol.
