We paid for jumbo beef rice by tablet but customer service was still excellent! I didn’t catch his name but he was a young black man with a great smile. Came by to check in on us and made sure we had everything we needed. Cozy and plenty of seating on the inside and an outdoor area with heating. Recommend this place for sure!

The food was good, but the dessert I purchased (which was the Yuzu Cheesecake) was sublime! It doesn’t have a graham cracker base, which should be fine for those that either don’t like the crust or watching out for the carb element of it.

I ordered Miso Soup as a starter because it was chilly and it hit the spot, as well as the Hamburg + Beef combo w/ some add ons like corn, egg, and green onions. I’d advise you to choose the toppings carefully because they’ll add to the budget of the dish you’re ordering. ALSO, the food plate is very HOT, so please make sure you’re careful when handling your hot dishes you ordered. The food at the very least kept me very filled that I didn’t need to order anything from a movie theater I was there for afterwards.

The staff were very nice, friendly, and helpful if we needed a question answered (for example, I wasn’t sure what the item they meant on the last question when ordering via kiosk meant, but it turns out it’s one of those number plates or whatever that vibrate when your order arrives). Even when they brought out the dishes, they checked to make sure I got everything we needed, so that’s great to know they’re double checking our orders. They even asked if I needed water, which I replied yes! I completely forgot the names of the server(s) that served me the food, so apologies on that, but she was very nice and helpful too.

Overall, it was a satisfying experience and if I’m in the area again, I’ll look forward to visiting this place again!

This Pepper Lunch is in Irvine Spectrum. Enter near Entrance 1 or 2 near the AMC is closer to find it. I had their surf & turf plate, which was very delicious. It has steak, tempura shrimp, veggies and rice. The steak came medium rare but if you wait until the plate stops sizzling, it becomes a well-done steak. Sides are just ok, but the sizzling plate was extremely good.

i came 10 after they opened so i got my food very fast, in about 2 minutes. i got the original steak pepper lunch bowl and it was very peppery but it was still good and filling. i enjoy eating here but it’s usually very busy and about a 5-10 minute wait. i think it’s a bit expensive but a nice place to eat at. staff is always nice and attentive. would recommend coming here if you get the chance

Food is good but their ordering system is weird. You cannot order with a live person and customers are not familiar with the screen so it takes a long time. If you order from DoorDash pickup they charge more than $4 per dish.

First time to this location. Same great food, I had the Hamburg curry with extra corn, kimchi, cucumber and egg. The patio is pleasant on a nice day.

Walking around the Spectrum Center in Irvine can be very exhausting. Today was a hot, sunny day and all I wanted was some good food in the shade. Luckily, I found Pepper Lunch on my arduous quest for food. The environment was perfect: a shaded spot for me to enjoy my sizzling hot plate of rice and protein (beef and salmon). I couldn’t have asked for a better place to sit and recharge for the hour. Upon sitting down, my server, Khaya, asked if I wanted a cup of ice cold water. Touched by their attentiveness to my clear exhaustion, I enthusiastically said yes. Khaya continued to check in on me, a gesture I greatly appreciated. Pepper Lunch is the perfect spot to enjoy delicious, sizzling food surrounded by lovely, attentive, and caring people at Irvine Spectrum Center. I hope to return soon for another wonderful experience!

Went to eat dinner again, and once again the food was great came out quickly. Izzy was very kind made sure we had everything , and Khaya I think is how you spell his name was very nice , they very attentive to check if we needed anything after bringing our food. Even Mel I believe might have been a manager came to make sure we were satisfied. She was very welcoming and saw that it was our Daughters birthday and greeted her a Happy Birthday. Halfway through dinner I realized , Khaya was one the faces from most of the Instagram reels and I was excited to meet him in person so I had to take a photo with him after Dinner. It was a great night!
Thanks Pepper Lunch! We’ll be back soon!
