Quick lunch or early dinner, either or, this place is a great go to. Service was quick and to the point. Get like this place was a knock off of "pepper lunch" but didn't enjoy it as much as pepper lunch. Food came out blazing hot as expected and tasted just okay. Wouldn't make this place a destination to hit up in the city but if you happen to walk by and be hungry, why not? Will I be coming back? Pass, too many great places in the SF to eat. read more

I was feeling extremely dehydrated and fatigued after the 9 mile hike from Alamere Falls. I just really wanted to sleep and faint but I knew I had to eat. The first stop off the bridge was Geary street and I remembered I had passed this store once to get Sharetea might as well try it now. OHHH MYYY LORRRTTTT! I'm am so happy I tried this place. Hence I've also had Pepper Lunch im Milpitas, Smile house cafe, and Tasty Pearl. This place beats them to the funeral... RIP. LOL. I was not disappointed by this location, great service and food was fast with extra garlic butter. My boyfriend got the Curry chicken sizzling plate and I got the Beef sizzling plate with extra extra garlic butter. Not only was the food superb, but the service was good. The service was consistent. We also got boba! The boba is pretty solid, I got the Roasted Oolong Crema boba with grass jelly and it is served in a glass jar like Plentea but way better tasting than Plentea in my opinion. Will be coming back... as soon as possible. read more

Super Pan is ? cuisine, noticed most dishes involve the use of a pan. offerings not my favorite kind of food. ramen? doubt it's broth is boiled for hours, probably just a minute.. offerings:teppan pasta, omlettes, ramen, steaks, hot pots, boba tea. brew: house milk tea. (3.95) 24oz? free topping, choose grass jelly, no added ice/sugar -tea premade, oolong tea was out -real milk used. bubble milk tea had nice taste, not as great as Sharetea way better than quicky's take outs: -menu offers 1/2 price on beverages all day. not sure how it's appied. eat in only? was charged full price.... read more

While vacationing in Hong Kong, Mr. Dubs came across Pepper Lunch- a restaurant that serves similar style food. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to try them out since there are about a billion places we wanted to try in HK. When I saw Super Pan on Yelp, I was determined to give them a try right away! We both ordered the Beef Pepper Rice and I added an egg on top. I never thought I'd say this, but I felt that there may be too much butter in my rice. I also didn't like how some of he beef was extremely overcooked, since I had to wait until all of them cooked in the pan. Overall, I felt that the dish was a bit bland and the butter overkill left me feeling a little sick. I don't think I'd come back to Super Pan, but if you've never tried them out, I think it's worth at least one shot! read more

Super Pan - Teppanyaki Near Me - San Francisco, California

I swung by half a year ago with my friends. This was a nice alternative to pepper lunch, which I frequent in Milpitas. I wasn't a fan of the noodles that they offered, but I liked the flavor and the garlic. If only this place wasn't too far, I would come more often to try some of their other options. read more

One of the only teppanyaki place in SF that I could find. I'm a big fan of this kind of food. Wish there were more in SF. Anyway, if you like this kind of hot sizzling plate food, this place won't disappoint. It's in the same place as a milk tea place. So, once you're done with your food, just walk over to the milk tea counter for some boba. read more

Not the best but not terrible either. The winner of Super Pan is probably their Garlic Pepper Sauce. It was flavorful but wasn't too salty. You can also ask for extras! I ordered #8 Cheesy Omlette w/ Pepper Garlic Creamy Gravy and Beef. The title itself had me drooling (I was also very hangry). Unfortunately, the entire dish was bland :(. It wasn't saucy enough, and I expected more flavor from the pepper garlic gravy! I found myself stealing my bf's garlic pepper sauce and drenching my plate with it! The Cheesy Omelette portion of the dish isn't what it sounds like. It's basically an overcooked egg folded over with a sprinkle of cheese in the middle. Definitely not cheesy enough! My bf ordered #13 Super Pan Combo Chicken and Beef w/ Garlic and Pepper Sauce. Surprisingly, he enjoyed his dish! He even thinks Super Pan is better than Pepper Lunch. Super Pan is still fairly new, so there are still some kinks to work out. Nonetheless, I'd probably still come back and get #13. read more

Super Pan - #8 - Cheesy Pepper Garlic Gravy w/ Beef - Teppanyaki Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came here with a friend and I ordered the curry beef with rice while my friend ordered the beef pepper rice. I ended up really liking my friend's pepper rice, however, it still lacked in flavor. I like 100% Sweet Cafe's beef pepper teppanyaki a lot more! Also tried the oolong milk tea and I didn't quite like this drink because although there was oolong taste, the milk tasted like powered milk. You're better off going to ShareTea right next door for your milk tea! However, service was absolute. Our waiter checked up on us a couple of times to make our food and everything else was okay. He also added cheese to our teppanyaki at no charge :) Very friendly and polite! read more

Super Pan - Sliced beef with rice, cheese, corn and curry sauce on the side. (The black pepper sauce tastes better) - Teppanyaki Near Me - San Francisco, California

If you're a pepper lunch fan (there's multiple locations, but the one in particular I went to was in milpitas) but you live in the city you NEED to get to Super Pan immediately! A clay pot filled with rice, corn, meat, and cheese? SIGN ME UP. If you're not a huge fan of the plain meat and rice combos, don't worry because their menu is EXTREMELY extensive (I'll just hardcore judge you bc what's better than rice and meat?) They have many different combos including curry and kimchi and then they even have ramens and budae jigae, many other soup bowls and appetizer options. It also shares space with e-tea which y'all know I love since I raved about it in my previous review. Boba makes everything better. It is on the smaller side and has been pretty packed every time I have gone but if you show up shortly after it opens on weekends (1130) you should have no problem getting immediately seated! Service is extremely attentive as well and your water cup will never go empty! Will continue to come back! read more

I love the spicy mini hot pot! I get it every time. No other hot pot or Shabu place has the broth they use, it's amazing. The meat is sliced perfectly, not too thin, not too thick. And the veggie plate is rather unique as well. It includes cabbage, lettuce, lobster balls, enoki and shitake mushrooms, and fish tofu. I ask them to give me the spicy sauce they use in the broth on the side to use as a dipping sauce for the meat and veggies it's SO good. They have boba drinks that completely outshine the drinks from their neighbor Sharetea, in my opinion. I ordered the lemon aloe tea (I believe) and it was one of the best I've had. Super Pan also has a great selection of alcohol to choose from. From beer to sake to wine. My friends always order the hot rice plates and they love it too. I just prefer the hot pot :) Service is great too. They are very friendly and attentive to customers ;) food comes out very fast. Everything is great, 5 stars! read more

My husband and I decided to try this place out after seeing a few people post pictures. We ate here on a weekday and it wasn't busy at all. Its a small place and you can miss it if you dont know where you are going. You have to pass a tapioca stand before going in. We were seated right away. The menu I felt like was slim pickin's but for starters we ordered the calamari, and for our entree I ordered the garlic noodle with beef, and my husband ordered the chicken curry. We did try to order soda but they were out so we ordered tapioca from the stand next door. I wasn't a huge fan of the calamari, it was hard to eat at times as the pieces were huge. But I have to say it was cooked right, just that it was hard to eat since each piece was huge you had to bite it off. My garlic noodle with beef wasn't the best either. It was basically pasta with raw beef on a sizzling pan with sauce to pour over. I think next time I would prefer to get rice and sauce instead as it looks more appealing and looks more of a bigger portion. My husband really liked teh curry and mind you hes usually a picky eater. The next time I come back I would like to try a rice dish instead with an egg on top. All in all it was pretty good, but I'm still in between. Service was great, and for the price you pay for its worth it. I would come back again to try something else. But again if your looking for something quick, easy and affordable I would come here to try it out at least once. Depending on time of day parking can be a bit hard. read more

A nice concept, but the food was alittle bland for my taste. I got the salmon pepper rice and when it came out, it was damn sizzling, but they had this paper "windshield" to protect it from aplattering, which was nice. One I started to mix it to cook it, it was fine, but the meal was alittle bland. It needed more seasoning or something or some sauces for the table. Also, I think the dishes should have vegatables in it or be able to have an option wih the meal with or without vegatables. It was just to bland for me to come back. Again, nice concept. Friiendly young staff though. read more

If anyone knows about Pepper Lunch, this place is the same exact concept of a personal hot plate with rice/noodles, raw meat, with maybe some veggies. It's a fun experience and I'm happy they have an option like this in SF now! I don't think this place ever gets packed when I've walked by it which is great because no wait ! My friend and I got their pepper beef with rice, cheese and corn, with the curry sauce on the side (10.99) An egg on top is an extra +1.00 but makes the entire dish so worth it! They already cook a thing of garlic butter in your hot plate, but you can always ask for more free of charge. Portions are fairly big here; I feel the pictures on the menu make it look smaller than it really is. The quality of the food is here is okay as it isn't as flavorful as one could expect it to be, but I just think the novelty of the hot plate is fun and what you're paying for. They have other hot plate options like an omelette with rice, pasta dishes, ramen, and a mini hotpot set all for reasonable prices, but their pepper beef is the most popular. They also have a tea shop next door that also serves milk tea at the restaurant in cute little bottles! I didn't try it, but probably next time I will! read more

Decided to give this place a try after seeing such great reviews. The service was superb, I would give that 5 stars! Food-wise 3 stars. I got the salmon pepper rice and not that it was bad, but not memorable so to speak. It says there is garlic butter in the skillet but I really didn't taste it at all. If anything there should be more! The sauce they give goes pretty well with everything and definitely help to bring in some flavor to the whole meal. Their skillets are pretty similar to this place in SF called Happy Cafe, which I would recommend. All-in-all the food here is pretty good, and on the plus, they have a boba shop,ETea, literally in the restaurant so you won't have to go far for some dessert! PARKING: street, metered until 6pm (free after that) read more

Super Pan - Teppanyaki Near Me - San Francisco, California

What a small little gem! Food was delicious! Atmosphere was nice. Curry chicken with rice was amazing. Ramen soup was yummy and so was the chicken with spaghetti in white sauce. All sauce comes on the sides which is really a great idea! Portions are big! You can definitely share! read more

I've been here a couple times and I always have a nice meal here. I feel like the hot pan style is very popular now and you can find it at a variety of places. The service is good, my server today was very nice and did a great job. Overall I had a good meal that was comforting and would come back here again. The first time I came here, I got the mini hot pot. This is pretty pricey for the small portion you get. Although I feel like the portions were small and not worth the price, the flavor of the soup was delicious! It was very flavorful and creamy. I feel like all the pans are very similar because it's just rice with the meat, corn and your choice of sauce. I've had the curry sauce once and it was a basic curry sauce nothing too special but it did taste good all together. Today I got the cheesey omelette w/ beef and garlic pepper sauce. I like the garlic pepper sauce more than the curry sauce. I always like asking for extra sauce because I like drenching my food in sauce. The cheese on the egg is interesting, it's not my favorite but type of cheese. The egg is fluffy tho. I got the noodles instead of rice for $1.50 more and again it's a little pricey for just spaghetti noodles instead of rice. read more

Super Pan - Cheesey omelette w/ beef and noodles - Teppanyaki Near Me - San Francisco, California

I have eaten here with my friends about three times, and each time, I've had a good experience. The workers here are very friendly, and the service is quite fast, but of course it depends on how many people they are serving. The place itself is pretty small, but as long as you don't arrive at a prime eating time, you should be able to sit down as soon as you walk in. As for the food, it comes in a hot skillet, with raw meat which cooks in your skillet. It tastes really good, tastes fresh, and comes with a good amount of food. I like the skillet because it keeps your food hot for a longer amount of time, so you won't be eating cold food-- unless you eat slow (which is me, but my food never got cold). I think it's really worth the price. I usually pay about $11 or $12. You could also get add-ons like an egg for an extra $1. There are different dishes to choose from such as beef, chicken, and salmon. There are also different sauces like garlic pepper (my favorite), and more to go with the other dishes, like curry for example. You can add as much or as little sauce as you want, and you can even ask for more if the cup of sauce isn't enough for you. read more

Super Pan - Teppanyaki Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've had Pepper Lunch plenty of times and contrary to popular belief, I think that SuperPan is comparable (sorry guys lol). I tried the sizzling salmon pan and found the hidden chunk of garlic butter within the rice! I definitely suggest mixing everything together within the first 5 mins of receiving it so you can cook everything evenly before the pan cools down (after you get your snapchats and photos of it, of course)! I usually get the salmon at Pepper Lunch as well and found the two to be relatively similar. It came with a sauce but I didn't use much of it since I found the butter flavorful enough. I love how the rice gets crispy too... Yeees. My friend got the sizzling beef pan and she added salt to taste and tons of sauce but she seemed to enjoy it overall. The service is nice and there's a decent amount of seating as well. Only thing I would suggest is some music bc it's quiet AF in there and everyone can hear your conversations LOL... Awkward. read more

Super Pan - Salmon & beef pan! - Teppanyaki Near Me - San Francisco, California

3.5 stars In comparison to Pepper Lunch, the other well known teppanyaki in SJ, this place stands up decently well depending on what you order. They have a larger variety in the types of dishes, but Peppa lunch has more variety over options. Super Pan does not give you the option to switch rice for udon or have a curry powder version like PL. In addition to rice plates they also serve pasta teppanyaki, ramen, individual hot pots, milk tea, and shaved ice. Salmon pepper rice: I really liked my dish, they gave me a good amount of salmon for the $10. The sauce they serve on the side really makes the dish flavorful. Please get this if you've been to pepper lunch before! Curry Beef Rice: My three sisters didn't love their beef dishes. The curry was just not the right flavor and the meat was lack luster as well as fatty. The service here was very sweet and accommodating. They even took our very last minute reservations without hesitation. read more

Super Pan - Salmon + egg - Teppanyaki Near Me - San Francisco, California

I was drawn in by the enticing Yelp photos but unfortunately, the actual experience was less delicious than I anticipated. The plates come sizzling hot but quickly lose heat so the rice never crisps up. Its really just for the fun of finishing up the cook on your meat. The meat itself was a bit tough and besides the kimchi my dish was topped with, there was no other seasoning to add flavor. My friend ordered the curry plate, which had a bit more flavor than my dish but was still underwhelming. Service was prompt and there was little wait time for our dishes to come out. Overall, no regrets in trying this place out but not on my list of places to revisit. read more

If you've heard of Pepper Lunch, this is the SF equivalent. This place offers different types of meat served a sizzling pan. My go-to is the beef and rice with an added egg. I love their pepper sauce and pour it on my meat when it comes out. The food usually comes out super quick which I like because i'm always hangry! The quality is just okay, but you get what you pay for! This restaurant is also attached to a boba place called E Tea so you can get your boba fix as well! read more

I came here for an early dinner with my fiance last Sunday. Its a small hole in a wall type place that serves both boba when you walk right in, and restaurant seating just as you walk in to the left. I was a little skeptical when looking at reviews and seeing that it was a small place with not that many people, but gave it a try anyways. They had a lot of different sizzling plates to choose from and all within reasonable pricing. I chose the chicken with white sauce and noodles, while my fiance got the pepper beef over rice. The waiter there was really attentive and took our orders and refilled our water. Within about 5 mins, our dishes came out sizzling! It smelled so good and it came in quite a large portion. The waiter was nice enough to let us know if we needed more sauce to just let him know. We poured our sauces onto our dishes and listened to the wonderful sizzling noises and the buttery aroma fill the air. Flavor was definitely good, and everything tasted fresh. It was a little bit on the greasy side, but still packed in a lot of flavor. I would recommend all the foodies and non-foodies to try this place out! read more

Super Pan has been in my bookmarks for years and now that I've finally tried it, I'm sad to say that my experience was pretty disappointing. The service was not the best. Our waitress really confused us and got most of our orders completely wrong. We ordered the #3 Curry Beef Rice w/ Cheese & Pepper, #8 Cheesy Curry Rice w/ Tonkatsu, and the #5 Salmon but replaced the rice with Garlic Noodles. After we ordered, the waitress then asked us what sauce we wanted. This confused us because we thought our orders already came with sauce but she said that the sauce comes on the side. We thought this meant the sauce was just an addition to our dish and we all decided on garlic pepper sauce. Once our food arrived we noticed that two of our orders were wrong. The #3 and #8 were supposed to have curry and cheese but it was nowhere to be found. We called our waitress and told her the problem and she was like "Oh, you want curry and cheese?" What's the point of having a menu item that says "cheese" and "curry" if the dish isn't going to come with it? I don't see a point to why she asked us what sauce we wanted if the dish already has sauce in the name. It was so confusing! I also felt a negative vibe from our waitress for the rest of our time there after we told her our orders were incorrect. As for the food, the salmon was really dry due to the fact that it's continuously cooking on the hot pan. The garlic noodles lacked flavor and didn't taste like garlic. Maybe I got the wrong sauce but I wouldn't have chosen anything else because the other options did not sound appealing to me. read more

Super Pan - Salmon w/ Garlic Noodles - Teppanyaki Near Me - San Francisco, California

I came here with my boyfriend since We been wanting to try it every time we go to the milk tea place next door. Plus, i love a place in hong kong that serve sizzling beef and this place is just like the one in hong kong. Finally we tried it and we thought it was good. We ordered the cheesy omelette rice with tomato creamy gravy with beef and the cheese omelette rice with pepper garlic creamy gravy with chicken. There is a lot to choose from the menu and for the sometimes cold San Francisco, the sizzling pan keeps the food hot entire time you are eating. The staffs are very nice and very attentive! I would recommend anyone to try this. read more

76 reviews with an average rating of 4 stars led me to believe that this place would blow my boyfriend and mine's mind away. Unfortunately, we were left wanting so much more. Super Pan is located on Geary so you bet your bottom that parking is gonna be a pain to get especially if you come during dinner time right after that 6pm time. In the day it isn't as bad and parking is metered so bring coins. The inside of this restaurant is a pretty decent size. Majority of their tables are 4 seaters so they can probably seat a big party if needed. And service here was friendly enough. They were kind enough to bring me sriracha when I needed it and refilled our waters. The menu here is actually really simple. They include pictures with their orders so you can get an idea on what you're getting yourself into. And of course, you can add an egg to any order for $1. My boyfriend got the #6 - totally forgot what it was exactly but there was an egg and curry - and I got the pepper rice steak or whatever. It was their most popular dish so of course it has to be bangin' right? Wrong. The food comes to you piping hot and it looks really good. Like I kid you not. However, first bite into everything just brought the word BLAND to mind. There's no flavor whatsoever. The server gave me sauce to go with my steak, but honestly the food overall shouldn't need it if it was seasoned correctly. I was totally bummed. My boyfriend felt the same way and he only finished his dish because he hadn't eaten all day. Overall, skip. read more

Really good place that we walked back in for dessert!! I love the whole concept. I had the beef with rice. The sizzling and having it cook right in front of you is awesome. Definitely worth the price. I also tried their milk tea from here. It was pretty good! Also ordered dessert from here and that was massive but so delicious. The customer service was excellent. Highly recommend & would come back! read more

I love Super Pan! It's so worth the price. They give you a decent amount for $11.99!! I highly recommend the classic Beef Black Pepper with the fried egg (extra $1). The beef is so thin and tender. The ratio of the beef, rice, corn, green onion and sauce is perfect. Be careful mixing everything in because splash zone y'all. I also got the karaage ($6.99) and it is so crispy! It comes with a delicious sweet and sour sauce. There's a boba shop in there so you can hit up dessert after or have a yummy boba drink with your rice. I can always rely on Super Pan for a satisfying meal. read more

SERVICE: I'm actually quite impressed! The young gentlemen that take the orders and serve you are quite friendly and very attentive to details such as drink refills. As I've stated before, my expectations for Asian wait staff are low, so this came as a nice surprise! Thumbs up for them! FOOD: At first I was doubtful this place could make a successful business out of serving one type of dish. I was wrong. They've got a great assortment of different "pans". I've tried the Tomato Gravy Beef pan and the Garlic Noodles with Beef pan on two separate occasions. Both were phenomenal. I really like the paper "sizzle cover" this place puts on their pans when they serve it to you. It protects you from getting burned from sizzle splashes while you wait for your pan to cool down. The DIY element to their pans is also unique and fun. The beef is tender and flavorful (garlicky). The cheesy egg that comes with a few of their dishes is incredible soft too! ATMOSPHERE: Nothing to rave about. They've got this huge mural of their food on the back wall which adds color to the place. This place is clean so that's what's most important. Well lit, Not to mention the great price! Nothing is over $10! What a steal! Definitely will be coming back here. read more

Sizzling food on a plate? Yum. My sisters and I came here for lunch on a Sunday and were seated right away. The numbers on the menu were all scattered around, but the pictures of the food helped a bunch in deciding what to get. I ordered the Cheesy Omelette with pepper garlic creamy gravy with beef. Food came out within 10-15 minutes sizzlin. The food was pretty good, and it was a pretty nice experience since you get to "cook" your food in front of you. I tried Pepper Lunch before and I think this place is just as good. Waiters were friendly - they checked up on us and made sure everything was good. We also ordered some drinks - honey lemon aloe and passion fruit green tea. The drinks were a bit watered down though. read more

We came in a couple minutes after they opened, There was only 1 other party inside so we were able to be seated immediately. Our server was very nice and prompt with taking care of us, he looked to be the only server working, there was another gentle man bringing out food who looked to be one of the cooks in back. After ordering, our food came out within a few minutes. A table that came right after us got their 2 sizzling plates in about 1-2 minutes after they ordered, ours took a little longer assuming someone from our table had ordered a fried combo plate. The food was simple and we were satisfied. I would probably consider coming back again to try other items on the menu. With 3 people and we all ordered drinks from the boba shop, our bill came out to around $50 ($60 w/ tip) read more

We ordered #2 & #16. #2 is the peppered steak dry version with rice n corn. It was good. But I thibk I was craving that saltiness of the soy sauce flavor, i didnt get it. Maybe I should've gotten an egg on top. I asked for extra pepper bc I wanted it to be more peppery. #16 the noodles with chicken. The entire dish was awesome! White cream based sauce. The chicken tasted like the dim sum foil wrapped chicken. However, I wish there was a bit more pazta with the dish. I was suprised that for a grand opening, there wasn't more people. I've been waiting for a place in the richmond to open up with a hot plate like the peppered steak lunch. The plate is definitely hot, so be careful. Food came out within 10 mins, very fast!! Will definitely come back to try the other dishes.. might be hard as #16 might be my go-to. read more

Came here shortly after their grand opening. Very nice lady working there, very attentive and offer some great suggestions if you are not sure what to get.

Very simple menu but lots of selections, they alos have a great drink selection. We will be back again. read more

I came here having low expectations because after my incident with Smile House Cafe, I didn't want to disappoint myself again. I came here on my lunch break since I work down the street from this restaurant and the images of the pans looked really delicious, so I decided to give this place a try. The restaurant wasn't that busy and there wasn't a waiting list when I went, so if you come here around noonish, you won't have to wait for a table. This place is big enough for parties of 4-9+ if you want to come here to hang out. With their menu selection, it's pretty small but you can always order extra things (ex. salt, pepper, garlic butter, etc) to add into your pan. I ended up getting the beef pepper rice and I added an egg for an additional $1.00 and it came out SUPER fast. I wasn't expecting it to come within a few minutes of me ordering my food, so I was already happy with this place. When I cooked my meat and placed the black pepper sauce all over my pan, it was AMAZING! The only thing I should have added was the garlic butter because I felt like it would have made my dish a whole lot better. My total came out to ~$10-13 I believe and AH, such a great price! Also, shout out to the server that served me. He was always attentive and he made sure my water was always refilled even though that's what he was supposed to do... LOL Thank you for your service though! I'll definitely come back in the future to not only try other options, but the desserts too. read more

Came here cause a friend highly recommended it, and also seeing his Snapchat enticed my bf to try it. I got the Beef Pepper Rice - their specialty. I actually don't think I've ever had Teppanyaki before! It was basically a wide, shallow clay pot with beef along the circumference. In the middle was the rice (and egg if you add it in). It comes to your table sizzling, steaming, and then the waiter will tell you to flip it over to cook the other side of the meat. When it's done, you can just mix it with the rice. The rice gets crispy, similar to clay pot rice. GOD IT WAS AMAZING. I really wish I added the egg. I also wish there was a veggie option...my bf did get some type of added in veggies, but it was only 3 pieces of broccoli lol. I also liked that they have a variety of beverages. They had boba ice tea, which hit the spot for some reason. Also you can upgrade and get it in a glass milk-jar, so you can take it home (they give you a cap before you leave). Service was EXTREMELY friendly. I was so shocked for a low-key Asian-owned place. They were constantly checking in on us to make sure that if it was our first time, we knew what it was exactly, and explained everything thoroughly. They also made sure that when our food arrived, we enjoyed it. And they were actually very genuine about it, too. Come here, and experience what Teppanyaki is all about!!!! read more

The closest you will get to pepper lunch here in San Francisco. What I love about this place is how good quality the food is. Aside from pepper lunch, I've been to another teppanyaki spot (that has since closed down) that was not that great. I love the variety of stuff that you can get from here: including pasta, salmon, chicken, etc. there is so many different foods to choose from. The staff is pretty nice and attentive. They made sure to check in on us during our meal and brought us whatever we needed during the meal. I appreciate that they asked us if we needed more water or something else to drink. The food itself is good quality. I wish they had more variety sauce-wise. I like their sauce, but it's not the most amazing. Their appetizers are a nice touch. I've gotten various appetizers the several times I've been here and so far everything has been pretty good. The restaurant itself is small, but spacious enough to hold multiple parties. You will most likely smell while you are dining here but it's worth it for some good quality teppanyaki!! I've definitely come back here frequently enough. read more

I always thought Super Pan was a reference to Peter Pan, but I just now realized that it's probably a pun on Super Man!! Oh, the things that amuse me. I was quite excited for Super Pan because sizzling pans are exciting by default. I've also never been to Pepper Lunch (when in South Bay, I always gravitate towards my staples without stomach space to spare), so I was super excited for Super Pan. When the boo suggested Volcano for Japanese curry,.I snagged the chance and manipulatively steered the dinner plans towards Super Pan. (++) Cheesy Omelette Rice Curry Chicken, $11: I'm not usually a fan of omurice and breakfasty foods for dinner in general, but the cheesy omelette was surprisingly good. In fact, I think it was my favorite thing here. The cheese was mild and added a certain creaminess to the omelette, and the omlette itself was wonderfully light and airy in texture. The chicken was fairly unremarkable, but the portion was generous. The curry blended well with the rice, and overall the dish was quite satisfying. (In my opinion it could have used more veggies than the few pieces of broccoli, but I'm sure many people have different opinions) (+) Beef and Garlic Pasta $11: Note that the beef comes raw and you have to cook it on the sizzling pan, and in the process the raw meat is extremely likely to touch the pasta. This may not be the best option if you are a germaphobe, but is probably one of the most exciting if you want a complete DIY-cooking-on-a-sizzling-pan experience. The beef is sliced very thin and there's even a paper splash guard surrounding the plate, so the cooking is fairly easy. As for the noms, the al dente garlicky pasta was the most outstanding, but the beef was just alright. My biggest issue with this dish was how greasy it was, since enough oil is needed to prevent sticking onto the iron pan. Service was exceptionally friendly, and the ambiance is modern and energizing. It is a little strange that they share a space with E Tea, but I guess that's becoming more common like how Bottle Zup is attached to Shabu House. They cleverly give you a milk tea menu and you begin to find yourself carving milk tea, but I passed because I have too many Plentea-esque glass bottles already. (Also, I think the name is a little strange because it reminds me of E and Z stereochemistry notation in organic chemistry.) Lastly, note that the teas for here look like they come in a pitcher according to the pictures on the menu, but when you look at the straw for scale, it's actually a normal-sized cup shaped like a pitcher. The verdict? Honestly I was a little disappointed by the greasiness of my pasta, but otherwise the food was quite tasty and I would recommend. The sizzling pan dining experience is quite a fun novelty. Note: If you like sizzling pan, I highly recommend Fumi Curry & Ramen in Bernal! They feature a housemade curry that you pour over the pan for more sizzles :3 read more

There's a similar place I've been to closer to San Jose in Milpitas called Pepper Lunch USA. Decided to give this place a try since yelp pictures looked good! 4 stars for service! The guys working here are friendly and attentive. Our waters were always topped off and we didn't have to wait long in ordering or getting the bill. 3 stars for for food. It was definitely okay. Not amazing in my opinion. They have salt and pepper table side which was good because I felt like it was a little on the bland side. I recall seeing a sign to add salt and pepper and a secret sauce. What and where was it? Was it upon request only? Not sure, didn't ask. Maybe I'll do some digging into other reviews to see for next time. We got... -beef pepper rice. Bf got this. He said it was okay and used some salt and pepper as well. -cheesy omelette rice with beef and tomato sauce. The sauce/gravy to rice ratio was good. Would have liked more meat. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to this. Felt like it was a bit bland. -crispy potato croquette. This was actually my first croquette, so I don't have much to really compare it to. I thought it was good for a first. The ketchup doe. It tasted weird. A bit too tomato-y and lacks acidity? It was just off. I think the portion and options offered here are more than Pepper Lunch, but I like that Pepper Lunch has more sauces and seasonings table side. Both has they're highlights. 3 1/2 stars overall~ read more

Somewhat fun and portions are generous if you're hungry, but the food really isn't that great or memorable. It's just a ton of rice and meat that you cook yourself, which tends to get dry and overcooked by the end of the meal. The beef pepper rice (their most popular dish) is probably the best item to get, but I'd skip the salmon one unless you enjoy really dry salmon. I wish their dishes had more veggies and flavor. Also, the servers took a really long time to take our order, but maybe it's because were seated next to a large table of high schoolers? P.S. I also had the worst drink of my life from the attached bubble tea joint (don't order the chrysanthemum with aloe!). The other drinks are good though. read more
