Updated review: 1/28/2022: My friends and I promised to make a concerted effort to eat healthier in 2022. Today was my dairy day. I order the combo platter $16 (calamari, karaage chicken & cheese garlic fries) and omurice $14 (omelette fried rice.) The highlight of my meal was the omurice. They did a good job of using fried rice, instead of just white rice, with tiny pieces of bacon, corn and spam. Instead of the usual tomato sauce or ketchup on top, they added two cherry tomatoes cut in half on top. The omurice I usually eat in Japan is much more runnier with a demi-glace brown sauce. Super Pan's version uses a thin egg omelette without cheese or sauce.
The cheese garlic fries were the fancy little frites type. It hardly had any cheese or garlic taste to it. The four pieces of calamari only contained tentacle pieces without any rings. The karaage chicken tasted bland. They should have added some basil, paprika or peppercorn. I had to ask for kewpie mayo to make this less boring. The supplied sweet and sour sauce and ketchup didn't do it for me. Regardless, this was a good meal.
Original review: Indoor dining 6/9/2021. Super Pan has little personal hot pots. Who knew?! What a great idea for people dining alone that want hot pot. Usually hot pot is for two or more people. Super Pan is more known for their sizzling dishes with the paper around the iron plate to protect your clothes from the splatter. Tonight I picked hot pot #10 with the tonkatsu soup base $16 with added sausage/spam for an additional $5. The pot comes out pre-warmed with all the items in it already. The waitstaff will light the little fuel under the hot pot. Within a few minutes, the pot will start to boil. The instant noodles is served on the side. Everything tasted great with good service. I like how there are beef and fish balls at the bottom for a nice surprise. Great job everyone at Super Pan. I left...
Read moreA small restaurant that shares space with a shop that sells tea drinks. Decided to check this place out since it seemed interesting and I've never tried teppanyaki style in a fast casual setting.
Came in for lunch on 1-2 pm on a weekday and there weren't too many people. Service was quick, seated quickly and was served water before I ordered. Decided on the beef peppered rice. It had pieces of corn on top of rice, surrounded by beef slices. Wait time was about 5 mins, fairly quick.
The dish came out sizzling hot and crackling on a hot griddle plate, was quite a sight. Came with instructions to mix everything and pour the sauce that came with it, which was a watery mixture of garlic pepper. Everything tasted pretty good and fresh. I recommend this place if you want a meal that's quick, fresh,...
Read moreMy favorite restaurant in the city! It's connected to a boba shop and you can order boba with your meal.
The real star of the show is the sizzling items (teppan). I almost always order the chicken cheesy omelette. You get to choose a sauce with it and after trying them all the garlic pepper tastes the best to me. You get the dish in a hot skillet that you pour the sauce into and it makes a satisfying sizzling noise. It's really worth sitting down to eat vs. take out for the dishes that come in a sizzling pan.
If you have a larger party (5 and above) it's a good idea to call ahead to make sure they can accommodate you since there is limited seating for larger groups.
There is a clean bathroom for...
