Pepper Lunch Restaurant is a halal-certified Japanese casual dining chain offering a unique DIY Teppan dining concept that has been delighting Singapore diners since its halal certification on February 8th, 2021. With over 30 outlets across three concepts - Pepper Lunch, Pepper Lunch Express, and Pepper Lunch GO! - the restaurant provides premium steaks and signature pepper rice that customers cook themselves on patented iron plates. The teppan plates can be heated up to 260°C in just 70 seconds, ensuring tender and juicy meat while creating an interactive dining experience.
The restaurant's signature dish is the classic Beef Pepper Rice, featuring U.S. beef slices served with flavorful short-grain rice, seasoned with freshly ground black pepper and signature margarine, topped with fresh corn and green onions. Premium steak options include the GIANT 230-gram ribeye steak, along with 200-gram and 150-gram diced cut steaks, featuring well-marbled Australian Ribeye and Striploin cuts. The DIY concept allows customers to customize the exact doneness of their meat while enjoying the sizzling experience.
Pepper Lunch's halal certification ensures that Muslim diners can enjoy this unique Japanese dining concept without compromising their dietary requirements. The restaurant's commitment to quality ingredients, interactive cooking experience, and accessibility through multiple locations has made it a popular choice for families and individuals seeking fun, engaging meals that combine Japanese innovation with halal standards.

The environment was noisy with poor ventilation and acoustics control. The seafood pasta was served with sauce that dried up very quickly on the hot plate. When I asked about the possibility of providing additional tomato sauce because the sauce had dried up, the staff said it would cost an additional $2.50 for just tomato sauce. I decided not to pay extra and had to bear with the dried-up seafood pasta, which felt like dried and fried mee goreng. For $17.90 plus an additional $1.50 for crabmeat, there are better options out there. I will not be back.

I got the Diced Cut Steak, which came with mashed potatoes, mushrooms, broccoli, and a side of rice, along with brown steak sauce, all for $19.90. I was very full afterwards. The staff who seated me explained that I needed to use the QR code on the table to order and bring my table number sign to collect drinks at the counter (if any).
However, the staff who served my food simply placed it on my table silently and walked off. I had eaten there before, so I knew it would be sizzling hot and how to handle the food. I wish they had announced the name of the dish for everyone and warned that it was hot. The table beside me received the wrong dish and had to ask the waitress to come back and confirm it was incorrect.

Always crowded during peak hours. Expect a long queue and longer waiting times.
You can order first while waiting to be seated. Scan the QR code and place your order. You can choose to pay online or at the counter. If you pay online, your order will be served faster.
One thing I don't really like for dine-in is that clothes and hair will get a strong cooking smell, especially for those with thick and long hair! OMG!

Just like every Pepper Lunch. Fast, efficient service – fuss-free. Get the sets! Quite worth it. Now they serve mini Häagen-Dazs ice cream as dessert!

We had a wonderful dining experience at Pepper Lunch Compass One today. We were served by a lovely lady named Emily, who went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. She noticed that my friend is pregnant and kindly switched us to a more comfortable seat without us even asking. Throughout our meal, she checked in on us from time to time with genuine care and warmth. Her attentiveness truly made our visit special, and we left feeling well taken care of. Thank you, Emily, for making our lunch such a pleasant experience – service like this really makes a difference!

Emily was super friendly, accommodating, and so helpful with my kids. She took the time to assist us and even introduced us to the card stamps, which made our dining experience more worthwhile. Truly appreciate her kindness and great service!
