    ​The long-awaited Dove Valley location has finally opened, and I was super excited to finally give this spot a try. They have two kiosks available to place your order, which makes the process quick and efficient. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the meal. ​There are a few tables available in the patio area outside if you prefer some fresh air. ​The Downside: The only real negative was the heavy road construction surrounding the area. As this part of town continues to expand, getting there can be a bit of a scramble. ​I went with the classic Beef Pepper Rice. I personally like my rice extra crispy, so I let it sit and sizzle on the plate a little longer to get that perfect crunch. Just a heads-up--this isn't exactly a low-calorie meal. It's loaded with margarine to enhance the flavor, which makes it taste great, but it's definitely an indulgence! ​I will definitely be back to try more of the menu. It's a solid addition to the neighborhood!

    Great Options for Pasta and Korean/Japanese Style meals with Beef, Chicken, Seafood and tons of Flavor. Stir/Prep it yourself while it finishes cooking in front of you, Sauce and Season your Meal and Enjoy. Pepper Lunch has no doubt become one of my favorite places to eat. Though it can be a tad on the hotter side their sauces are savory and sweet to tame the fire, and theres an Ice Cream Shop in the same parking lot!!

    First time trying this place and it did not disappoint. New and fresh meals in the North Phoenix area. You order from a screen and there was an employee available to answer any questions. We ordered the shrimp curry and pepper beef meal. The plates came out sizzling hot. The beef was raw but the hot plate cooked it to your liking. I like my food hot so this was a treat. My food stayed hot the entire meal. We will be back to try more menu items.

    Chicken karage curry was a hit!

    Glad to have them in town! Good food, plenty of selection for rice dishes as well as noodle-based. Option for vegetarians are also available! Easy ordering, quick service and friendly staff! Glad to see an outdoor sitting for those with furry friends but would like to see umbrellas or additional shades.

    An empty plate, yes, it was that good!

    Amazing food, the proof is in the empty plate. Lots of flavor and highly customizable for those on special diets. Don't miss out, try it now!

    Very good. Cool concept. Fast casual. Can't wait to go back. Looking forward to the one up north off the 17 to open.

    Food service workers are the best people in this place I want people all the time I'm with my whole…read moregift filled with pizza every time I go there I sometimes get mac & cheese when I get pizza. I don't know what to get cause I get food pizza in a long lot of wings. I like the wings a lot of wings I have to choose.

    We live within a mile of this location so we first started doing takeout for this location and…read morequickly found that the kitchen doesn't take the time to count the wings and were often shorted in our order and had to call to complain which required us to drive back and pick up missing wings...unacceptable. For awhile we stopped doing takeout because being shorted wings just continued so we just went and ate dine-in. I would say we don't go that often but every time we go we order the same thing 1 or 2 dozen wing and EVERYTIME the order is correct. So I wonder why the take out orders are 3 out of 4 times we ordered short. The most recent time this happened was this past Monday so I immediately called the location and was told that only the server manager was available and that she would have the general manager, Shane, call who would be at work on Wednesday. Here it is Thursday and no call so I am done with giving them a try. If you kitchen staff don't want to take the time to count wings on take-out orders...I get it... then through in some extra wings to make sure you are giving the minimum order that the customer paid for. Shorting the customer does not send the right message of loyalty.

I have never met a more friendly welcoming manager. And I believe because of that the servers are happy. We have been returning 3 day every week. It is nice to be welcomed by Rob who has always thanked us for our business. I learn last nite the Rob had left the position. That was terrible news. Not sure if we will be returning with this sad news..

    Most of the things that were off were not about the food…read more First the Good: All 6 of us enjoyed our entrees. Our server did a good job explaining and suggesting items. The cocktails were good. The servings were good sized and three of us took home part of our meals. The prices were fair and i would order the same again. Now the not so Good: It was difficult to find. We ended up parking a fair distance away. There was not room for us (6) indoors.... I'll know next time to reserve a table. The patio was dirty, bird dropping all over the railings and floors. It felt like lunchroom aftermath. I would have really appreciated a cushion on the mesh metal chairs. Being outside led to slow and forgotten service. There were some timing problems with our drinks and appetizers (forgotten). Then they showed up about two minutes before the salads and entrees. Our server took full responsibility and that was awesome. It seems like a great place... just a few tweaks will take it up a notch. String some lights , put some paraphernalia on the tables. Maybe even some bread.
