Went for the first time here the other day. I got the pepper chicken dish and my daughter got the chicken curry. I also got miso soup.When you get a chicken dish the chicken is cooked already. When you get a beef dish here, it's uncooked, and that's when you get to cook the beef in the bowl that they bring it in. It was so fun and so good. The bowl comes out to you steaming hot so you really need to be careful not to touch it. It's nice that they have a big paper wrap around it to remind you that it's hot and not to touch it. There are a lot of different things to choose from off the menu, including appetizers. You can also get toppings on your meals. I ended up getting an egg on my pepper chicken dish. The curry sauce (on my daughter's dish) came in a separate container so you can add as much or as little as you want. When the curry sauce hits the hot dish it sizzles! Since this was our first time, we had a ton of questions that we kept asking the girl behind the counter. She was so sweet and helpful. Her name was Miranda. We definitely will come back here to eat and try something different off the menu.
P.S. I had some pictures I had taken and unfortunately they don't have an option to post pictures here on reviews. If I could figure out some other way to add them I will, but as of now I cannot.

We come frequently. We eat well. They are nice to us. Get a frequent customer card to get free stuff. Sometimes the bathrooms are not well stocked with paper towels.
Food is good. Portion could have been bigger. Price could have been slightly less. Employees are very friendly, I think that's why people keep coming back, so give them a raise already.
Manager Miranda was helpful. There was a simple order mix up and she handle the situation and compt the meal without question. Food was good and good service

Very easy to get there, located in a great place. Quick service, friendly staff, nice menu, plenty of options to choose from, and the portions are big. The plates are hot; be careful. Tasty. The parking lot might be an issue; it gets crowded.

If the portion sizes were just slightly larger I would 100% give this place 5 stars. Our family of 4 had 2 Pepper steaks, the Teriyaki steak with white rice and the shrimp curry. I used some of the teriyaki sauce on my Pepper steak because it just needed some extra flavor and it definitely elevated the dish. Everything tasted great and was extremely hot, almost too hot to eat for at least 5 minutes after arriving. The issue I have is that I left feeling hungry. If the portion sizes were just slightly larger(especially since the price is high) I would give it 5 stars. Overall would come back but would look into ordering more food!

Great lunch experience, the plate is sizzling when brought to the table. Location is a bit small for the amount of clients they have. And it took a good 15 minutes to get our food.

I like to stop at Pepper Lunch with my kids after we go to Legoland (it's halfway home). They always looked forward to Pepper lunch. The portions may have become smaller latley but their food is delicious. We love this place and it is in a perfect location. (Although it is hard to find parking) Highly recommend 5 stars.....
This used to be a good location in the past. Recently, the food is very mediocre, portions of meat were skimpy and cheap cuts with fat and tendons. All rice, barely any meat. I won’t be returning.

Food comes out fast and sizzling hot. Most items on the menu are peppered. If you like black pepper you'll like this place. Sit down fast food restaurant.

These guys are so accommodating ....next level service! They are so helpful to care to ask if we needed an extra serving of curry.. and guess what they gave us on the house. (We were with kids, including an infant and new to town). Sharing the Indian grandparents enjoying the food as they are exploring and enjoying.
Many thanks and namaste!

Pepper Lunch in Irvine offers a fun, sizzling dining experience with flavorful dishes like the beef pepper rice. It’s quick and tasty, but the menu is a bit pricey and parking can be challenging.
