And GOOD it was! They had the same concept of Zensho where you are given an order slip and you are tasked to write down all your orders along with the sauce and everything else. And when you are ready to order you flip this sign and that is when the waiter/waitress comes over to take the slip. (This solves the problem of taking to long to order as well the awkwardness I feel when they tend to hover or look impatient at me ordering! Props for thinking up this idea!)
The price is pretty decent. It would run about the same as dining at Teriyaki Boy. It wasn’t fastfood per se, but the food indeed came out fast! It was a nice sit down meal.
Now unto the best part the food:
For starters, Judd ordered the Egg Drop Soup with Caesar’s Salad.
I on the other hand started with a basket of Calamares:
The Caesar’s salad was good. The only bad thing I can say about it was that there was TOO MUCH! Now that isn’t such a bad thing is it? (too much croutons, the chicken, so good!)
The Calamares were one of the best I’ve ever tasted. They were still warm when they came out. The squid was perfectly tender. (Meaning they were not overcooked or undercooked because they didn’t come out tough!)
We quickly gobbled up the appetizers so we could actually move on to the main course!
We quickly took note of our main course orders. I remained safe while Judd decided to take a stroll done the wild side.
Here were our orders:
ME:
Beef Pepper Steak Rice
Teppanyaki Steak
Judd:
Beef Pepper Steak Curry Rice w/ Diablo Sauce
Kebab with Diablo Sauce
And when we mean Diablo sauce you know it is already implied that its going to be HOT!
We barely finished our conversation about the entree, when the main course came out. I really like how they put these paper thing around the sizzling plate. It keeps from having bits and pieces splattering all over the table (which makes the table greasy!) as well as your clothes!
Judd was more adventurous. He went for it. He decided to train up for our Singapore trip. He ordered the Diablo sauce. Suffice to say it was hot. He kept saying how hot it was and how his mouth was on fire. But despite that, he kept putting it on his rice and kebab just because it was soo good. (According to him!) The beef was soft and well cooked. It was well seasoned as well. The taste was good. I enjoyed every bite of that meal. Given that the taste was already good coupled with awesome, awesome service I was one happy foodie.
caught in the act enjoying the food!
It was a good meal! I really enjoyed. I’m happy to say I will be coming back soon! I am now a certified convert! I guess this whole experience just reminded me that trying out new things will lead to new experiences. Some may not be as big as going camping or on a road trip, but trying new restos certainly broadens one’s horizons.
We ate at Sizzling Pepper Steak at the 3rd floor SM North Annex.
baboy moves? lol!
OMg, looking at this makes me so hungry. Celebrating the nokia deals eh?
Tried this.. but was disappointed.
bad service in Glorietta… the plain rice I ordered looked like it was a leftover from yesterday… did have high expectations coz of the rave i read but sadly, it wasn’t met.
Very, very bad service talaga!
They threw away the order sheet daw!
Crazy diba?
Hi Teriyaki Girl, care to share which branch this is? Wow they actually told you they threw away the order sheet?
Sa Eastwood po.
2 orders were wrong, 1 rice was not served, no glasses of water, the billing was wrong, hay nako.
Then I complained at last.
Show me the order sheet!
And they explained they threw it away already daw po.
Bad experience with their Glorietta 5 branch. Very bad service. By the time they serve your food, your hunger has passed. We ended up canceling my son’s order because it’s talking so long and ask my kid to just eat at Sbarro, which is beside Sizzling Pepper Steak in Glorietta 5. Me, my wife and other kid, our orders came one after the other (but without my other kid’s order) after about 30 minutes of waiting. Not ever coming back.
tried eating at Sizzling Pepper Steak Harbourview Square while on my way to CCP Complex for a show. been hearing good / bad comments about this resto but still i take the risk of trying. and it was the best risk i tried. it came very positive on me. the food was great!!! and for a resto that serves Made to order items, they are quite fast. though a little pricey, the service is very warm and true. They treat us newbie as their regular guests. talking to us and knowing what else do we need complete our experience. Thank you Mr. Bhong. I hope you can read this message. Ill see you again when i come back again in manila.
