Teppanyaki Restaurants near Milpitas, CA

“I hadn't been to Pepper Lunch in 8 years-- and I had to come back to tell y'all it is just as good as you remember (+ way better than Sizzling Lunch!)

I went on a Friday evening, but there was no line at 5:30 right when they opened. Even leaving at 6:30, the restaurant was medium-full. I remember having to queue up for hours, seems to not be the case anymore.

I stuck with my classic, #1 Beef Pepper Rice. Is it just me, the portion seems even bigger now?! They still give the extra garlic butter on request which is always my favorite part. I've seen some reviews talk about the meat quality going down-- to be honest it felt the same to me. I had no complaints there.

The prices really haven't been hit by inflation all that much, my #1 was only ~$15 pre-tax/tip. Considering it's been 8 years since my last visit, this is not a big change at all!

I value Pepper Lunch for their prices and maintained quality. Still a pillar of the community in my opinion!“

“Great food, fast service!“

“Great for a quick and casual meal! Everything comes on a sizzling hot iron cast plate and you cook the protein yourself. My recommendations are the garlic beef pepper rice and Kimchi beef pepper rice. I usually add soy miso, shichimi togarashi, and black pepper for more flavor. Careful not to add too much at once and mix as you go. Enjoy!“

“Great find and will be back often … loved everything about this place“

“Good selection of healthy foods. Their beef is so tender . Fried rice is to die for. The chef Heli is so professional, very precise and amiable. Our waitresses/server , Maya, was so pleasant and attentive to guests . Next time I go back I have to try their seafood selections. My only complaint is the location . It should be out there along Stevens Creek like in Santana Row rather than hidden in that dark corner of the complex. But definitely I will recommend it to my friends.“
