Pepper Lunch in Houston

simple but delectable dishes!! upon walking in i noticed the atmosphere which was extremely welcoming. the service is mediocre, there was nothing special. i loved the almost interactive aspect as you can pour in the sauces that you like and wait for the rice to get crispy as it cooks. the experience is comforting and a great place to go with friends!! pricing is decent as well, would recommend if you are in the area!

Have been twice and absolutely hate this place. Food is fine (it’s just rice on a hot plate), nothing great but really expensive. No matter, the service is some of the worst I have ever had.Last trip we went on a double date, they had no tables so they stuck us in a divided table they put right by the door.

Even when regular tables became available they insisted we stay at the uncomfortable divided table in front of the door.I was polite because I was with people but I wanted to go full Karen on this place. It was a really expensive evening to be ruined by this place again.Next time s...

This review is mainly to validate my takeout experiences during Covid-19 pandemic. I was curious how online order on my dining rewards program works. So, I picked a familiar restaurant, Pepper Lunch. It took me forever to create an account and order one dish. By the time I'm done selecting the right thing, my session expired. Oh... my belly was full of air and no longer hungry. So next day, I started again. I picked the cheapest item Tofu and Vegetables with kimchee plate... $11.00 on Chownow.com . That's $2 more than order at the restaurant. It's ok. Someone has to make money. But it also held $2 from my credit card. It's okay, not restaurant's fault. Since it's a pickup order, the app gave me ETA. By the time I got to the restaurant, it's already sitting on the counter. An employee looked at me as I asked about my pick-up order. She pushed the package toward me and stamped my rewards card. Yeah. You are welcome. Four weeks later, I want to give it a fair chance for Pepper Lunch by duplicatin...
