Finally got to try this place and SizzleIt switches from my Want To Go list to Favorites. ♥ 👍
I had The Classic and it tasted like I imagined it would from the pictures. Just the right amount of food for a satisfying lunch meal.
I gave the rice a good press in the center and thoroughly mixed all the ingredients on the hot sizzling plate. Food stays very hot so you can eat at your own pace. Definitely will return to try some other menu items, though it will be hard not to just get The Classic again.
Edited a year later to add: I am puzzled by the reviewer that stated his food was still raw when served, appeared to not fully cook all the meat (diner's responsibility), then proceed to photograph and then consume said meat. That's the whole idea of this restaurant -- you are served a sizzling platter (500F?) with cooked rice, corn, and uncooked proteins of your choice and you mix the contents over the hot platter until it is cooked to your liking. I've now eaten here over 20 times and never had an issue with the platter cooling down faster than I can cook the meat; if anything I need to wait longer than my tastebuds desire in order to consume the food at a reasonable temperature. If for whatever reason the meat doesn't fully cook, I'd flag down the server to request another hot platter, though I've never had the need for such action.
Next time I go, I'll inform the owner he should include the ubiquitous consumer advisory warning that I see at other places on the menu or wall of the establishment: “Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially if you have certain medical conditions.”
I think there is a world of difference between being served something undercooked that is for immediate consumption versus having a role as the diner in cooking your food on a given cooking apparatus. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
