I came to Pepper Twins to check out my nonprofit group's reservation and tried the famous dish…read more九葉花椒雞 Pepper Twins Chicken. My Executive Director recommended this restaurant because of convenience to Southwest Freeway and Loop 610. For being on Kirby, that's a well known area for restaurants. I chatted with a manager about the restaurant. Prior to Covid, there were 7 restaurants and this one on Kirby is the only one left. The interior is modern and classic. There are 2 areas can be divided into party rooms. But there aren't any walls, just drapes. There are several parking lots shared with Taco Cabana. I would say this is perfect for lunch and dinner parties. The sign on the building is not quite visible from the feeder road. But the sign above the entrance facing Kirby (behind Taco Cabana rather) is quite prominent. Getting out to freeway feeder road can be challenging during rush hour because the freeway exit is few yards away. GPS direction is also challenging from Northbound on 59. Make sure you are on the 2nd from the left turning lane. After making that left turn, there is not enough room to change lane. Or, you have to drive around the block to get here. Food was phenomenal. I ordered a pot of chrysanthemum tea with the Pepper Twins Chicken. The fresh peppercorn was the highlight of the dish. The fresh serrano peppers added the spiciness to the dish. This dish has 2 pepper icons but it's not that hot. It numbs my lips at the moment but no lingering affects like mala Sichuan hot.

I knew this place would be poppin' when I saw the 3.6 rating on Yelp (at the time of this review)…read morewith mostly non-Asian reviews, as well as seeing the owner doing paperwork on one of the dining tables - marks of a truly authentic Chinese restaurant. Do not sleep on the Sichuan food here (not the Chinese-American food)! Salt and pepper fish, eggplant & green bean, and Sichuan beef mala pot (very liquid-y but surprisingly good flavor) were all amazing. Chili oil dumplings had lots of filling, but I prefer thinner skins. Dan dan noodles were clumping together and didn't have peanuts so I don't recommend them. Dishes are about $10 per and portion sizes just about match; we got 3 entrees and 2 apps for 3 people and pretty much finished everything. Can't wait to come back!

Went for lunch. The restaurant is small and located in a small corner. There's only a handful of…read moretables, but we were seated nearly right away. The parking lot is busy and can be hard to find parking. We got a few dishes to share. The braised pork belly was delicious. Soft and fatty with a delicious sauce. The soup dumplings were also great, a nice salty soup and plenty of meat with a good dumpling wrapper. The star of the show were the fried dumplings, not pictured below. It had a nice crispy outer layer with an extremely juicy center, almost a soup dumpling in its own right. It's hot, so be careful! The veggie dish we ordered was also fine. The only thing I didn't really like was the rice, which was a little hard and dry. They also gave us a free braised fish dish to try, which my friend said was good. Overall, super delicious! Will definitely need to be back.

Staff was very friendly and attentive, the ambiance is about as good as you can get in a Marriott hotel, but the real star of the show here was the food. I will say the prices are a bit higher than Fungs or other dim sum classic spots in Houston. Still worth it, and their homemade hot sauce is amazing. It's a tapas style dim sum place, so if that is what you are into, like me, this is a must try. Pork buns were sweet and very tasty. They were not filled as much as I would like but the flavor is really nice. 8.9/10 Sui Mai was an excellent. No real notes. 9.3/10 Crystal shrimp dumpling was classic but the flavor was really nice paired with the hot sauce it's a 9.4/10 Crispy shrimp was by far the fan favorite. Really nice combination of flavors and textures. This is a must have. 9.5/10 The sticky ribs were not my favorite. I thought they would be traditional ribs. They were like steamed riblets. 4.5/10 Mushroom bao was interesting, it's a good dish to try I wouldn't get it again though. 6/10 The taro dumpling was my least favorite. Just lacked any real flavor. 3.5/10 Overall I would highly recommend this if you are interested in trying dim sum and not driving to Chinatown.

The main course was a bit lackluster: hard egg noodles in a very bland gravy sauce. Since they didn't have the pork rice available, I settled for it, but I should have gone for the soup, the only item I was actually looking forward to. For a restaurant inside a hotel lobby? Not bad! I'd be back for the appetizers. Also, for the final course, we waited on our dessert only to watch the table next to us get theirs first (they ordered the same thing). After 20 minutes, I just told the waitstaff to bring the check and skip dessert. The manager comped my meal and explained the AC in the kitchen was out and they were backed up. Fair enough.

The staff were timely and friendly, with wonderful advice and recommendations when asked. The menu was extensive and extremely hard to pick from because everything looks so good.

I ordered the duck noodle soup and immediately fell in love. The broth was rich and had a lingering and delicate flavor that perfectly complemented the succulent duck. The addition of the bok choy and egg elevated the dish even more. I plan on returning to try more of those menu items soon!

I ate it- it was good but would have preferred it without!
