Sizzling Pot King in San Diego

The food is great. We had a combo for two people. The restaurant is adorned with nostalgia decor.

Sizzling Pot King is a chain. Not impressed with the food. The menu is like half scratched off like it’s “sold out”. Prices are increased using white label stickers. They should just reprint a whole new menu or restock inventory. They gave disposable bowls and utensils. Except for the water cup and pitcher.We wanted to order certain items but it got crossed off so we got their signature dry pot. We wanted small but it got crossed off. How? Can’t you make smaller portions? Medium serves 2-3 so we got medium.1) pick the size, medium ($26.99) or large ($36.99); 2) choose your flavor, we got garlic; 3) choose your spice level, we got mild; 4) choose your pot, we got braised pork belly. It automatically comes with celery, potatoes, cauliflower and bean sprouts. Adding more sides is additional. The pot comes cooked and sizzling hot that is kept warm with a chafing dish underneath.We also ordered Wuhan hot dry noodles ($6.99) and wonton in spicy sauce ($7.99) which is basically in chili oil. It wasn’t spicy and the hot dry noodles were bland in a diluted peanut sauce. Glad we didn’t get rice and used the noodles to eat with the pork belly. The mild spice was perfect because it had a kick.Overall, the food here lacks quality, flavor and selection. 2.5 stars but bumped to 3 for the self serving water pitcher. Plus they allowed us to split checks with two credit cards.

Dried Hot Pot- that name make me feel curious . Atmosphere and Decorations Inside very different from anywhere I come.Look likes Chinese food combine Mongolian Korean Food.Good and strange Taste. Quality Ok.Price Ok.Good place for you try NEW Thing more than recommend or invite your friends.But

The spicy level they have should niot be legal, i enjoyed spicy food, I ate just one spoon of the clams pot. Which there were almost no clams on it and I almost had a heart attack it was extremely spicy thst I started shocking and crying. They were uncaring and chargued us with not even a dollar discount.

Just bought a car and came here to eat my emotions to celebrate my new responsibility… I’ll be fine. But you have to come by and check this place out. Simple dishes to choose from and high quality ingredients, what else can you ask for? Okay maybe it be better if was cheaper but this is a well established authentic kind of place. Enjoy my fellow foodies

It is my one of favorite Chinese restaurant !!!! The griddle cooked beef tongue is really delicious! I think they serve the most delicious pot dish in San Diego! And I go there at least one time a week !

Sizzling pot king has a great selection of meat, including frog, rabbit, beef tongue etc. The numbing spicy flavor is really good but I have pretty low spice tolerance so we got least spicy. Its very flavorful and comes with lots of base veggies too.

Went with a group of friends and got combo beef tripe/braised pork belly, mild spicy. We also added spam, bok choy, and instant noodles. The dish was super flavorful with a good mix of flavors and textures from the add-ins, and the mild spiciness added a nice kick on top. Portions were good, too, the large was plenty for our group of 4. Overall great lunch!

Love to order take out from here, always delicious and filling!

Food has good flavors and a variety of options. I am giving it for stars because the POS was down and I had to create a venmo account to pay them. Took about 20 minutes extra. If you go make sure you have cash just in case.
