Ikka Sizzling Pot — Restaurant in San Gabriel

Why does this restaurant have to be so far away from where I live? I would be a happy man if they have a branch in West LA because the quality and taste of the food from Ikka Sizzling Pot 🍲 is just impeccable 👍🏼😋! The service has always been great! Your food is served rather quickly, and the cleanliness standard is great! The place is also cozy but spacious!

The Food:

Boneless Yellow Braised Chicken Combo 🐔🥦🍳 (10/10): I have ordered this dish on multiple occasions. All I know is that the diminishing marginal returns haven't kicked in, or perhaps it's that good 👍🏼! The seasoning on the dish is immaculate! The meat texture is also cooked to perfection! I also liked how they added broccoli on the dish and there is an option to add an egg for an additional charge and I recommend that you consider adding it to your pot!

Golden Chili Rice Noodle🌶️🍜 (10/10): I enjoyed this just as much. The vegetables and meat they put in this bowl were plenty and the spice of the dish was a little spicy, but addictive! I also like their quail eggs and tofu skin!

Overall, I really enjoyed the food here and would HIGHLY recommend anyone who likes sizzling pots. Not to mention, I thought their pricing was reasonable and parking was easy to find (it's...

Come have lunch, and unexpectedly, I bumped into the adorable egg waffles!

When you don’t know what to eat for lunch, this place is a great choice. The set meal includes one dish, one rice, one soup, and one cold dish. Girls can’t finish it! Boys get very full! The cost-performance ratio is super high! There are many choices like ribs, chicken, beef, spicy hotpot, rice or rice noodles! There’s always a flavor you will like.

This time, I had the crispy pork slices, and it included tripe and preserved mustard greens, which are my favorites!

Kids always go for the boneless chicken, which is super tender! Quail eggs are also a must-add every time.

The golden soup beef is my teammate’s favorite!

This time I found they have the super popular smiling egg waffles from back home! You can choose two flavors per serving, so I picked red bean for myself and Oreo for the kid! The egg flavor is very strong! I love it ❤️ but friends who don’t like the eggy smell should...

You can always count on me to order pork trotters whenever it’s on the menu, and @ikka_sizzling_pot has a deliciously quick version, where they braise all of their meat in clay pots and are ready in only 5-10 minutes! ✨In addition to the tasty flavor, pork trotters also provide you with collagen (benefits include maintaining healthy skin, relieving joint paint, and contributing to muscle gain)✨

Cold side dishes and soups are also a must to balance with the very hot (temperature wise) main entrees. Bonus: spice levels can be customized for their sizzling dishes🔥
