stephenterry Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I've eaten the salad there a few times. Found out the so called 'vegetarian soups' , even the cream of mushroom one, are made with f**king chicken stock. Albeit it is Sizzlers but surely they could get away from meat soup additives for Buddha's sake, e.g. add mushroom stock cubes? I was also ill after one session - it painfully blocked me up for three days. I now go for a large plate of cheddar cheese, and a touch of chopped tomato/onion, a slice of red pepper, and a couple of green beans - and order the jacket potato. Very filling combo, washed down with topped up glasses of soda water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am however close to 100 % sure that there is no control over the use of pesticides with their suppliers. ( Roundup ? ). ( When eating greens here in Italy there are no symptoms ). Sizzler s other options ( bread toasted with cheese ) can be missed. All other foods grilled and likewise aren't worth the money paid. (Though Thais mostly love Sizzler and and crowd its restaurants.) The best thing about Sizzlers is the dancing waitresses. I mean the female ones.

sukhumvitneon Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) If you go into a Sizzlers expecting a decent meal then I've got bad news for you. The Central Plaza Rama IX store is the worst. Edited June 23, 2018 by sukhumvitneon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolanddrums Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I am/was quite a fan of Sizzler and go quite a lot, I'm also not bothered by the price but we do like a quality tasty meal . I dislike restaurants that give huge portions..quality over quantity wins for me. I certainly wouldn't consider sharing a main course with the GF just to save money or just ordering salad bar only...but that's just me . Here are a few things of note though:- If you're talking beef steak Santa Fe is like tough old leather boots in comparison...once only ..never again. Sizzler changed its menu 6+ months or so ago. Steak now comes on plank of wood instead of plate.(ok so far) My favorite Australian steak has done away with the std sweetcorn, peppers & lettuce garnish and replaced it with greasy onion rings. More of a problem as mentioned is the new seasoning. Yes it tastes saltier/more msg/ flavour enhancer etc ...not so good.Even the once delicious Peppercorn Sauce tastes full of the same. I do remember reading (About 1 year + ago) all about Sizzler saying it doesnt use any artificial this and that.. blah blah...hhmm not so sure now. Salad bar is delicious but location makes a huge difference to staff service & food quality. eg Royal Garden is not a patch on Central Festival in every way. Even a Med- Well done steak comes 100% Red ( On one occasion), and staff forget to bring you TWO sauces , bring water instead of beer and so on. Fish.... yes I see they've done away with the Norwegian Cod and replaced it with a cheaper to buy alternative..it has been noted. In a nutshell ..Wake up Sizzler...We mostly go to the better Japanese restaurants now instead. In you're going to be relatively expensive , you need to remain good! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2702 Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 Sizzlers is a good deal and a comfortable setting for 2 hours for us. We buy main meals and drink a carafe of ice tea and the bill is always less than 800 baht. That's a good deal for 2.5 people and blows McDonald's out the water on every level. I've never spent more than 30 minutes in a McDonald's and for 2 people that's at least 600 baht when we have been there. So Sizzlers makes more sense for us, tastes better and is a more comfortable place to relax after shopping. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolanddrums Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) .I think he means fills up so much on the buffet salad bar that he's too full to eat the main course so takes it home. 2 people always costs me 1400 baht.....I must learn to be more keeneow haha, but I agree Mc Donalds is a no no.

canuckamuck Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Yeah the crumbled fish with chips and salad bar was my regular meal there. Sometimes just the salad bar. Mostly we went there because my wife can't get enough of the mushroom soup. But last time we went they did something wrong with the soup. We haven't been back. I am sure we will make our way back there again some day. Wish they would bring in a another western themed restaurant to the malls. So many Japanese styled ones, which are mainly the same thing over and over. A burger place would be fine or something Italian that is not Pizza Company 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seajae Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 the one at central in Surat Thani is crap, got the steak first time we went there and it was pretty good but the salad bar, soups etc were garbage, potato wasnt cooked enough, tomato was garbage as were all the other salads, total disappointment. Soups were watery and tasteless, we went back a couple of months later to see if it had improved and it was just as bad and the meat was crap as well, service wasnt the best either, long waits to be served and no follow up at all, wont be back anytime soon. Liked it when it was in Australia, thais put profits before quality the way they do it, probably so people will not go back for more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac98 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I always did salad bar only in States as it included chicken legs and wings, and had spaghetti with two kinds of sauce. What are you supposed to put on that spaghetti here? Mushroom soup? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit the only one we visit is in khon kaen and soups are really good and thick. The salad bar always looks immaculate and the range looks continually fresh and replenished.

findlay13 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 A friend and I would meet once a month for the big New York steak and it was good but over time the price went up and the quality diminished.Fish and chips the same.They must slice the fish with a razor blade.Now I'll have the Soup/Salad bar alone and it's ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

findlay13 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I don't eat the greens.They don't taste right for some reason.Probably pesticides as you say.I stopped getting the large steaks as they were good but started to taste of too much MSG or something.This is a problem in Thailand,consistency.Places start out well but the standard drops over time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
