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.

Visited on 160825 at 06:35 PM. We arrived with no queue in sight, but it was a bit busy. We didn't mind waiting as the staff informed us there would be a 5-10 minute wait. After more than 10 minutes passed, we started to get impatient and frustrated. It was then that we noticed empty high tables at the front and back. Not wanting to jump to conclusions, we decided to wait a little longer as the server kept looking in our direction. After another 5 minutes, my sister approached the staff to ask about the high tables. The server mentioned that those tables were available if we were comfortable with them, implying they had been empty for no apparent reason. While some people may not be comfortable with high tables, given the growing queue, the staff should have asked patrons if they were okay with those tables instead of making assumptions. That was the first issue. Secondly, the portion of beef my sister received for her Beef Pepper Rice was disappointing. We called the server and showed her, and all she said was that she would give feedback to the chef. My sister and I have eaten at Pepper Lunch countless times, but this was the first time we encountered such a small portion. Thankfully, the taste was still great, but it was unsatisfactory due to the portion size. I hope something can be done about the service for seating customers and the beef portion.

The beef portion for the beef pepper rice was too little. The majority of it was just fat, and it didn't even manage to cover half the plate. Service was efficient though.

I visited during peak dinner time and was in the queue for less than 5 minutes, even with 5 people ahead of me. The serving team cleared tables quickly to seat us. The kitchen team, visible through the glass screen, also worked efficiently at a fast pace. My order arrived 12 minutes after ordering, despite the restaurant being full. I appreciate the team's speed and efficiency.

A hidden gem here in Tampines One that isn't crowded, even during peak weekend hours. There are plenty of seats available, and it's not too noisy. You place your orders at the counter and collect your drinks and sides first. Your main courses will be served to you. Afterwards, you may return your tray and plates to the allocated area.

Smooth ordering process from the table QR code and payment. Unfortunately, we did not read the signs

The ordering process using the table QR code and payment was smooth. Unfortunately, we didn't read the signs on the table indicating that drinks and sides were to be collected at the counter, so they sat there for a while before we realised. The beef pepper rice was good as usual, and I really enjoyed adding scallops for the first time. The beef steak was also good and came with plenty of ingredients, but the mashed potato crisped up and dried out at the bottom as it was on the hot plate and we didn't move it during cooking. The side salad and mashed potato side were nice. Happy that they've opened in Tampines.

Appreciate the options available; you can add vegetables and remove items. I've always enjoyed the beef rice, and my kids do too. The beef portion seems less than in the past, and paying 50 cents for two small pieces of broccoli is a bit much. The environment can get noisy. It wasn't very loud this visit, but when it's full, it's really loud.

Shout-out to AM Lee Wai Lim: they helped us out very professionally for NSman. They assisted us when we accidentally billed before showing the NSmen card and we got the discount afterwards. Very helpful and professional.
