Pepper Lunch - Milpitas

I'm so glad they survived the pandemic! I wasn't even here, but it's like I remembered! faster service, friendly staff, delicious.

Previously I came a lot when I was younger, but the quality of food has declined definitiw, while the prices have risen a lot. there is much more.

A few years later I updated my review. boy was my first assessment wrong my children love this place and I too! both children have really learned to use the chiffel here.

Oh boy, Pepper Lunch USA in Milpitas is one hot spot literally! Their sizzling plates are so hot they could probably cook a steak in 30 seconds flat. But don't worry, the wait staff will remind you not to touch the plate with your bare hands, unless you want to end up with some seriously crispy fingers. And let's not forget the garlic butter it's like liquid gold! I swear, I could put that stuff on cardboard and it would still taste amazing. But don't take my word for it, ask for extra and try it for yourself. Now, when it comes to the special sauce, I have to say it's a bit like a first date light and sweet, but not too overwhelming. On the other hand, the teriyaki sauce is like a second date more bold and salty, but still leaving you wanting more. The atmosphere at Pepper Lunch USA is also super friendly. You'll feel like you're part of the family, especially when you take a whiff of the delicious aromas coming from the kitchen. And if you're lucky enough to snag a seat, you might even make some new friends while waiting for your food. But let's be real, the mushroom and egg might help a little, but the real star of the show is the sizzling plate. It's like a mini party on your table! Just be warned, the rice portion might be a bit too much for some. So bring your appetite and your stretchy pants, because once you try Pepper Lunch USA, you'll keep coming back for more.

I’ve been to their competitors as well as their sister franchisees in LA. This one is old school (first franchise in North America) and still is the best. They give u so much beef and food that u do NOT need to add extra anything. Come early on weekends. Waits are more manageable now.
