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!

This place might somehow have the best fries in OC. Crisp and seasoned on the outside, fluffy in the middle. Karage chicken is solid. There’s lots of customers but I don’t think I’ve ever really waited to order and food comes out quickly, hot and fresh. It’s a really good lunch spot if you’re on the clock to get back to work. I’ve been there 3 times and got the pepper rice bowl (shrimp and chicken) which is big and tasty but benefits from a sauce which is fine because they’ve got a couple good sauces that I think are just free.

Delicious Japanese comfort food that has been around for quite a while. I have visited since the place opened sometime around 2016, and I like that their menu has a wide variety of offerings compared to the past.
I ordered beef & salmon rice and it was delicious. Although the Salmon didn’t have seasoning which would have been preferred, the tables have their signature sauce which you can add yourself and balance it out. I wouldn’t recommend the more “exotic” dishes if you’re coming here the first time, because their signature rice series really is the best.
You need to give the plate and food some time to cook and cool, so it’s not suitable for those who need to eat in a hurry.
One thing I would change is the portion size, they should make it a little larger because I wasn’t full after the meal.
Also, appreciate the helpful front cashier lady who helped me customize my order and use a promo (stamp card, recommended for those who plan to return).

We recently visited this Pepper Lunch spot, hoping to avoid the massive line at new Irvine Spectrum location. I had high hopes – the photos looked amazing, the sizzling plate concept reminded me of Korean BBQ (which I love), and the whole vibe felt exciting and fun.
The idea of your food finishing cooking right in front of you on a hot skillet is really cool.
But here’s the problem: the portion size, especially the meat, is just way too small for the price. The meat slices are super thin, and honestly, it doesn’t even feel like a full meal unless you’re someone who eats very lightly. If you’re a guy or just generally have a regular appetite, one dish won’t cut it.
I also tried the noodle dish and was pretty disappointed. Not only was the portion of meat small there too, but the noodles were tough – very undercooked, almost unpleasantly al dente. I wouldn’t recommend the noodles at all.
There’s definitely potential here. The menu is interesting, the concept is solid, and the experience is fun. But for now, I’m confused about the portion sizes and disappointed by the value. Also worth noting: there’s a lot of oil on the bottom of the skillet – it gets a bit better as it cooks down, but still something to be aware of.

YUMMY. We had the chicken and pepper rice in Singapore and this tastes exactly like that. Highly recommend
We had the chicken curry rice and the kimchi cheese and chicken rice. Both were delicious. The food comes out extremely hot. But it was all very delicious.

Great lunch experience, the plate is sizzling when brought to the table. This place is a hit, and you know that because there is a line at lunch! The location is a bit small for the number of clients they have. And it took a good 15 minutes to get our food.

Great location in Irvine. Plenty of free self parking although it gets a bit busy due to many other restaurants in the plaza.
Plenty on indoor as well as outdoor patio seating.
Menu is fairly simple to navigate with lots of options.
Very friendly service.
Delicious and very flavorful.

I ordered the salmon pepper rice with a side of onion rings. Everything tasted good, but I’m not writing home and insisting others go.
The rice had a pleasant pepper taste, and the salmon was good. It’s not the most flavorful meal, but the sauces help with that; the quality was good, and it’s a healthier option
The service was quick and friendly. The location is clean. My only complaint would be finding parking is a nightmare because there is so much going on in this shopping center.
I recommend trying this place if you’re looking for a healthy meal and good service.

First time here and the food was really good.
I got the Classic Beef Pepper Rice Jumbo order and it was the perfect amount for me. Hopefully they bring on the Washington State.

The portions are big and the food is good. I liked how my rice a crispy later. The food is way better with the sauces. I wish it was premixed in for you. I was expecting peppery lunch but it was not peppery at all. I guess it was just lunch… the kimichi rice dish was also surprisingly good. Solid food over all. The fountain drinks selection was also surprisingly good. Although the parking is crazy the lines to get in were not bad. I would recommend trying it.
