I've been to the U-District location of this chain a few times, and this was my first time at the SLU place I like the concept of this fast casual type quick service restaurant. I've heard this chain called the Vietnamese Chipotle before, and I can see why as they follow a very similar ordering pattern
What I got here was the half-rice half-salad bowl with pork, egg, green sauce, and a few vegetables The first thing I have to remark on here is the portions are incredible. My bowl was absolutely stuffed to the brim - practically trying to explode by the end as there wasn't enough space for the sauce on top to even breathe - it was crushed up against the lid. This easily made two full meals worth of food, which makes it a great deal
Unfortunately, the main part of this meal, the pork (which I got a double portion of) was pretty disappointing. The portion was huge, but this pork was pretty dry, and had basically no flavor at all. The food would've been a lot better if this had been improved. My guess is it had been sitting in the tray for a long time, leading to the dryness However, most of the other parts of this meal were much better. The rice was perfectly cooked - very moist and maintained its shape throughout. The combination of the salad & vegetables were great; especially paired with the green sauce, which is an absolute delight I also liked the idea of an egg I could mix around with
If I ever come here in the future, I'll get the tofu - as I don't think I can trust this place to serve good meat
The price here is also a little expensive - around $17 for a double protein, but like I mentioned, the amount of food does make up for it
Overall, it's a pretty good lunch spot that'll last you multiple meals, but I would stay away from the...
Read moreI recently tried the grilled chicken rice bowl with all the toppings from Sizzle and Crunch, and it was fantastic. The dish was very tasty and affordable, with great portion size that left me feeling satisfied. The grilled chicken was tender and flavorful, perfectly complemented by the fresh and crunchy vegetables.
Special mention goes to the green sauce – it was delicious, creamy, and packed with flavor. It added a delightful kick to the dish and tied all the ingredients together beautifully. I could easily eat it every day!
The setting is simple and comfortable, ideal for both solo diners and groups. The service was quick, making it an ideal spot for a fast yet delicious meal. They emphasize that their food is prepared daily to deliver that burst of flavor you’ve been craving, and they definitely delivered on that promise. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a tasty, affordable, and...
Read moreWe originally had some difficulties related to a previous catering order. Long story short, that order did not end up working out. However, after getting in touch with management (Mathew and Isabelle) Sizzle&Crunch went above and beyond to make it right. We took a chance with Sizzle&Crunch and put in a new catering order; they delivered. They went above and beyond in fine-tuning the details of the catering to our specifications and needs. The food was of incredibly high-quality--to the point where our guests consistently asked where the food was from. The food was hot and fresh, and the pricing was reasonable. I believe our earlier less-than-ideal experience with Sizzle&Crunch was an outlier. If you have any catering needs, give Sizzle&Crunch a shot--you won't be...
