Pepper Lunch - Milpitas

Pepper lunch serves good quality food. It can get busy but if you go right when they open you should be fine. By noon time there's usually a wait.

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.

The food here is very good and full of flavor. I got the unagi pepper rice with egg. The only downside to the food is it comes out on a skillet so it is piping hot. The service on the other hand is terrible. I would give zero stars if I could. I asked for water with my food and they brought out a tiny glass of water. The food was so hot that I kept having to drink water so I was out of water very quickly. Our server took awhile to come back to the table for me to get a chance to ask for more water. I did so and my friend ordered a diet coke. Our server brought my friend the diet coke quickly, but did not bring my water. I got up to use the restroom and noticed our server carrying a tray of water, so I thought one of them forsure had to be for me. However, when I returned from the restroom I still did not have more water. The food had cooled down enough for me to eat by now and it was delicious. Great food bad service.

Super great simple food that tastes amazing with kind service. I loved it!

Good was excellent! Will definitely be back here again!!
