The Bottom Line

Sizzling Wok is a casual Asian restaurant in Al Mankhool, inside Citymax Hotel, with a menu that leans Chinese and Indo-Chinese while also covering Thai, Vietnamese and Singaporean flavours. You can order dishes such as chicken dimsum, Chinese bhel, Singaporean shrimp Laksa and Hakka noodles, then finish with the much-mentioned sizzling Brownie or fried ice cream. Vegetarian diners have found the food freshly prepared, plentiful and varied, and several reviews describe generous portions.

Families are also mentioned positively. The restaurant has a large seating area, ample parking and reported valet service, while the licensed bar and drinks make it workable for a relaxed meal with friends. The main caution is inconsistency.

Some visits brought delicious food and attentive hospitality; others reported bland meals, burnt satay, dry duck or poor buffet quality. Service has ranged from excellent to rude, with waits of 20–30 minutes and, in one case, more than an hour for starters. The room has also been described as quiet or not busy, but dim lighting and a lack of music have affected the atmosphere for some diners.

Confirm buffet contents and vegetarian orders, and consider visiting at a quieter time.
