Pepper Lunch serves Japanese rice dishes with beef, chicken or seafood, cooked on a hot iron plate and finished with sauce by the diner. One visitor who ordered the sambal pepper with seafood and rice found it spicy and tasty. One diner praised the chips, while another found the fried chicken snack small and dry. Vegetarian options are available, and one diner added soy sauce to lift the plain rice.

Ordering and seating

Diners order at a self-service machine near the entrance and pay before they sit down. Some diners found the order type had been set to takeaway by mistake, and one was asked to order before taking a seat. At busy times, some tables near the front and back have been reserved, and one visitor saw a family seated at a reserved table. Checking the order type and asking staff about seating before you pay can avoid this.
