Yelper Zifeng Z., who reviewed Sizzling Lunch on July 27, wrote, "The portion is a good size for the price and the location. For the salmon and udon, I recommend adding more teriyaki sauce over garlic shoyu, but either way the food is bomb. Excellent service; food came out very fast as usual."

Benny Y. noted, "I went with my usual, the curry beef udon, and it's outstanding. The beef is sliced thinly and served on an extremely hot plate with bouncy udon noodles. The aroma from the curry powder and garlic butter immediately enticed my appetite. Needless to say, I highly recommend this place."
