Pepper Lunch - Alhambra

I go when I want kbbq, but not really and I want meat best place. if they get her to eat, they make sure they cook it thoroughly before it sizzling stops, otherwise they will be stuck with some raw meat! park is behind. is a bit tricky and a bit too foot.

Had the smiling beef curry and it was good. in the did my friend who does not like curry, tried and intended to order it the next time.

Pepper Lunch is my go to place when I want a no hassle meal of carbs and protein. The first time I even heard of it, I thought to myself, It's just carbs with some meat and corn on a sizzling plate. I can do this at home. Why am I even here Because it's freaking delicious. I always go with the classic pepper beef rice, sub for noodles, an egg (if you check in and are dining with someone else and ordering two entrees, be sure to yelp check in for a free app . It's the mix of that butter and garlic sauce. I'm usually pretty picky when it comes to too much butter on noodles but the amount they add is just right. You can taste the flavor of it but not be overwhelmed. The sauces are on the table if you dine in. I would suggest doing a taste of the dish before you add sauce. It's pretty flavorful with just the butter they use so you can add the sauce casually to adjust to your liking. Sometimes I just use one sauce, sometimes when I'm feeling reckless and living life on the edge, I use both. Tips: If you like your meat cooked well, gather it all under your carb (either rice or pasta) and leave it to cook for a bit before moving it around and eating it. Onion rings are delicious. They're very light and have a great batter to onion ratio. You order first and then sit down (they have seating inside and outside). Parking is plentiful. If you can't find parking on the street, there are several nearby lots that are free (although the parking spots are usually pretty tight).

Setting/Service: Setting is pretty nice. Staff was very friendly and attentive. They were definitely the standout of my experience here. Food: This was my first time here. I ordered the classic beef pepper rice and added an egg. The experience of receiving a hot skillet with fresh, cooking beef was interesting for sure. The dish comes together rather quickly right in front of you. As for the flavor, it was heavy on the pepper for sure. Tasted rather one-dimensional, with the strong pepper flavor taking over the dish. I would have preferred some more vegetable options to add on to help cut through some of the strong pepper and butter flavor. Overall: The service and overall experience of this place makes me want to go back! I'd recommend ordering something with more flavors, like a curry.

Its overpriced and not as good as it is in Japan. Our orders 4 of them all wrong. You should goto a steak place for what you get and what it costs. $30.00 per person for lunch is a bit much for soso food and service. Would not go again. To this location
