Sizzling — Restaurant in Pineville

Sizzling at Alley 51 Food Court

Located in Pineville, inside the Super G Mart at Alley 51 Food Court, Sizzling is a sister restaurant to YUME Ramen & Sushi Bar in South End. The cuisine is of western-style Japanese food. As you enter the building, Sizzling is the first food stall you’ll encounter, and you can take a seat at the counter after ordering.

The highlight here is the interactive dining experience. The food is served on a sizzling hot cast iron plate, which keeps everything piping hot throughout your meal. Every plate comes with a choice of miso soup or cream corn soup and either a cucumber salad or potato salad. For your entree there is a variety of meats you can choose from: beef, shrimp, chicken, or salmon. You can even opt for a combo if you’re feeling adventurous.

For my meal, I chose a combo of beef and shrimp. The plate comes with garlic butter, rice, scallions, and corn. You can decide if you want the garlic butter spicy; I chose the non-spicy version. There are plenty of add-ons available too, such as chili oil, spicy mayo, eel sauce, meat sauce, onion chips, cheese, kimchi, more corn, or a sunny side up egg. I chose a sunny side up egg as my add-on.

Once the sizzling cast iron plate arrives, the fun begins. You mix everything up to continue cooking the egg and meats to your desired doneness. The rice gets wonderfully crispy, adding a fantastic texture to each bite. After mixing, you pour on your choice of sauce—either garlic gravy or sweet black pepper sauce. I went with the sweet black pepper sauce, which added a delightful punch of flavor.

The cucumber salad and miso soup were as expected—good and standard fare that you’d typically find at a Japanese restaurant. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite of my meal, and the sizzling plate kept everything hot and tasty until the last morsel.

If you enjoy fried rice and fajitas, Sizzling is definitely the place for you. This meal was so satisfying that it will be a tough decision on where to dine in Alley 51 when I return. The interactive cooking experience, combined with the delicious food, makes Sizzling a must-visit for anyone craving a unique...
