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.

Totally not recommend visiting after their renovation. The waitress and waiter claimed I didn't put my number buzzer on the table after I asked them to check my bill. Worst service ever!

Good food and staff, but what is up with the number of flies in the restaurant? We were constantly swatting them away during our meal. Yucks. This happened on 17 Apr 2025 at about 3:30 to 4:30pm. Please sort it out.

The delivery service never improves; orders are always late. The management at this outlet is lousy. They can't even prepare a single item on time, making riders wait 15-20 minutes. Dine-in customers are prioritized. Lousy merchant.

Not sure if the food portion has been reduced recently. Previously, when I dined in and ordered takeaway, the portion was fine. But this time, this is all the chicken I got Are you feeding toddlers? This isn’t even a student meal, where I would understand a smaller portion due to the price. THIS IS ala carte LOL. I gave feedback to the staff, and she said they only give 90g of meat. Previously, the meat was smaller in size, hence it looked like more? What?
That aside, the male staff at the door was nice and polite. Food was yum as always, but they need to relook into the portion.

Located at Level 4 of Jem. There aren't many seats in the restaurant, so customers may have to wait to be seated. The restaurant was full at 1pm on Saturday, so please take note. They do not accept reservations.
Food is tasty, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Serving of the food ordered is fast. Food portions are reasonable as well.

The service crew for the 17/08 lunch shift was excellent. The queue was managed very well, and customers were quickly informed about how their order and seating arrangements work. The food arrived extremely fast, considering how crowded it was when I visited. The service crew were also quick to clear up the tables.
The service crew were extremely inviting and friendly. One person asked me how my day was, and the interaction was lovely. Another served our dishes professionally. Everyone else was juggling the crowd like a pro. I am truly amazed by the service crew here!

The food is quite heavily seasoned; some might like it, some might not. Do take note that you need to self-collect your drinks and sides.

I recommend visiting this Pepper Lunch outlet during non-peak hours, as waiting times can be up to an hour during peak periods. I came here around 2pm with my friends and there was no waiting time at all. The food was PHENOMENAL! It can be a little pricey, but there's a student deal going on for $8-$10. I loved it very much and would recommend this Pepper Lunch outlet.
