Sooo yummy! No more long lines! Will come back again! Got the regular jumbo beef sizzling plate plus cheese! Must try with cheese!

Pepper lunch is an excellent lunch/dinner option with an innovative ordering system. It makes it easy to customize your order. The metal plate reach dish is served on keeps it hot for your whole meal. Will return for more. read more

The service is incredible! The staff answered all my questions for it being my first time here. The food was off the charts amazing! From the meat, to the rice, to the experience, 10/10 all the way! Would definitely come back again to enjoy a wonderful meal! read more

I ordered their rib eye steak with an add on egg and garlic chips. It comes with either a miso soup or rice. The taste is pretty good

Love pepper lunch, the food may take awhile to get to you and has not big portions. But its a new concept which I like.

This is my first time at pepper lunch, we ordered a classic pepper rice with egg and onions & a jumbo classic pepper rice with cheese, mushroom, and onions. There's was no line and all the staff was great. Will definitely come back! read more

I love the concept of the food coming out on a sizzling hot plate. The restaurant was very clean and the ordering was very efficient with the iPads available. I got the curry beef sizzling plate and the curry was flavorful but not too overpowering. This place is a must try! read more

Always a delicious time! If you like fried rice you will love this place! I highly recommend

Okay, I am so excited to try this place out. Line was moving at a moderate pace; the aroma made me salivated throughout the wait; and now I am ready to shove the food down my throat. Okay bye! read more

This is our favorite place in Main St. Food is really good and flavorful. The staff are really nice too. Yay for this place!!

This is a good place. This is very interesting to discover new things to eat. However, the menu pictures look amazing with lots of meat in the plates but when it comes you really look for the meat! read more

My only concern about this place is the seating. Their kiosk system can make people a little bit impatient during the busy hours. But I really recommend everything. So good. Just eat this place when there's no line. read more

Love the music, floor is clean. So many good options! Techy ordering experience, I feel so welcomed

Good food and service. Recommend no.2 classic beef with kimchi. We also ordered curry beef and Angus cut steak.

This is one of the favorite chain restaurant I love to go in Asia and I am so excited when they open in Alhambra !!!! Everything seems on point and meet my expectation . Recommend if you already know this place . read more

I have tried this in Hong Kong and this place is as good. Beef is fresh and flavorful.

great service. Great food. Patty cakes was very helpful. Fast service. Happy ambiance!

This is our first time here and we think the environment is nice and clean. Love the atmosphere here but the portion isn't huge if you have a big appetite. Food is pretty good but if the serving was larger I would come here again ;) read more

Nice concept of a place and food presented for guests, but slightly overrated to me. Flavor of food was average, a combination of ingredients put together for a meal with a different way to eat it. A bit of a wait in line for this but not worth it IMO. Worth a try. read more

Ordered a jumbo beef, but received a classic beef. How can a business be so unethical?!? Smh

I love this concept!!! Keeps my food hot, although it can burn ur tongue if you aren't cautious! I had the classic beef pepper rice :) you also have the option of substituting rice for pasta. I can't wait to come back to try it! read more

Damn this place is good. They serve your dish in a hot skillet so be careful when eating. I ordered the curry plate with hamburger and beef and that shit was good af. The beef comes half cooked so you finish the job using the hot skillet when it gets served to you. Very interesting concept. Another good thing about this restaurant is that you can add on whatever you like to the skillet. I added extra mushrooms and corn to mine and it was perfect. The fries are also very crispy and addicting. read more

Came early for dinner (5:30pm) to avoid the lines that usually go out the door. Waited about 10mins cause we opted for outdoor seating, which is doable with their heat lamps. I tried the kimchi pepper rice, pretty flavorful, lacking a bit on the meat though, but there's option to add more when you order. So if you eat a lot, make sure you add extra, which could make a single meal about $20, or you'll be leaving hungry. Overall, I wouldn't say it's good enough to warrant waiting in line for more than 15mins. So if I do come again (I do want to try their curry), it'll be early again or just to order takeout. read more

Tastes exactly the way I remember when I had it in Asia. Just be prepared for the long wait since it's still new.

Service was really good, however, I would not go back again. The steak was very chewy and not worth the price.

The food is just okay but the service was terrible. The waitress just start to clean up our plate while my boyfriend still eating.

First time here and our waiter was Clayton. He provided us with great recommendations and excellent service. I ordered the Curry Chicken pepper rice and it was delicious. Definitely will come again . read more

It was really just okay. The food didn't taste of high quality, the beef was actually kind of tough and chewy. The portions aren't that big even though I got the jumbo. Really it's just expensive fried rice. read more

Went there on March 16, 2019,​ for dinner. The girl helped us with ordering and swiped our CC. Then, she said it wasn't getting through. So, she asked me to swipe again with a statement that the first transaction didn't go through. My CC statement came, they charged me twice for the same exact​ amount at the same time. Just be extra careful guys! Keep your receipt and keep eye on your CC statement. I hope it was an honest mistake. read more

Super delicious, got the rib eye (bomb) and the jumbo beef pepper rice. Rib eye was obv the better choice. But both were excellent. Worth it and great service! read more

Ssizzzzzzling! We came for lunch and choose this because its in a location with many other food spots. The portions are a bit small for the price but not too much. I got the kimchi, cheese beef which had a plateful of rice. I didnt finish it and saved for later. The ambiance is pretty nice. Servers were attentive and friendly. Very little seating inside but they also have an outside area if you are cool with the sun read more

The manager, Ty, was super kind and friendly. All the employees were smiling and they made my food as I expected to be. It was delicious and I hope they keep it this way! Ali was really kind and on top of her work. She kept checking on her customers and constantly worked high speed. I wish I had her as my employee read more

Great concept. I can see this place succeed versus the poke that used to be here. Great quick lunch.

One star purely for service. One server made an error bringing us two miso soups (instead of one miso and one rice). When we asked for the rice that we had ordered a second server thought we were lying. We had to produce a receipt to get what we ordered. Bottom line: was accused of lying until producing a receipt to prove otherwise. The mediocre food (Angus steak) is not worth the hassle. First and last time at this location. read more

Delicious food, friendly environment , affordable price. Good costumer service.

I got the classic beef pepper rice and it was great! It comes out on a sizzling plate ans it stays hot enough to cook the beef thoroughly. Service was excellent and fast. I thought the wait would be 45 min to an hour considering it was packed, but it literally only took 20 min to be seated read more

I came here for lunch to try this place out finally but it was only so so. The parking is at the back . Easiest is to just park in the structure behind and walk to the restaurant in the front on Main Street . When u arrive , u can get a number and order via the ipad if ur into that or just wait for a waiter to seat u with menus and u order then . If u ordered via iPad just self serve at a table with ur number visible . This place had such bad service . It was sad that there was only one hard working server busting his butt while we saw another girl and a guy employee just messing around near the cashier counter . We ordered a classic beef and a curry beef . Originally we love the fact that the foods were something we would make outselves at home the same type of ingredients and combination together . However when the food came it was so bad. The portion was really small for the price they are charging. Also warning for those wearing nice clothes or hate having sizzling plates that might some oil sizzle and bounce off the plate . Our order came with barely any meat . U get more from a small order at something like Shabu shabu . The dish is just majority rice. The classic was salty with over dressing of salt . The curry plate was also too salty and tasted like the cube curry you buy at the super markets . Both plates had tiny portions. The whole experience sucked and the only thing we thought was good was that we came on a week day at a time where there was no line . If there is an hr wait when u go , pls just go to another place nearby cuz it's not worth it . read more

I ordered the Tofu and Veggie Plate, which was so yummy. Great flavor and a big portion! Definitely will order again! read more

Pepper Lunch - Tofu & Veggie - Teppanyaki Near Me - Alhambra, California

It was my first time here but I'm disappointed, I ordered the New York steak and gave me a very small steak literally, for $24? I think this place was over hyped. read more

It is a great food concept EXCEPT, the way we were attended was not okay! As a person of color, we saw the difference in being treated by our server. He did ask if it was our first time and we said yes. Fast forward to when we got our food served he didn't ask if we knew how it worked but made sure the people seated next to us, a couple, one being white and older than us, well he did explain it to them. We ordered various items off the menu. He kept saying wow you guys ordered a lot. So what. Why do you have to announce that? I am a food blogger so what? Such juvenile and mistreatment behavior read more
