A different way of ordering Japanese Cuisine. People brings a metal can with their table number and goes around looking at the food on display. For sushi-in-plate, people simply take whatever they wanted. For drinks, main dishes and desserts, people will take the ice-cream sticks assigned for each item then bring them to the counter for ordering. Zen, Japanese village-like decorations in the restaurants gave us a warm feeling. Good customer service where almost all the staffs there are full of smiles and are polite. One does not have to wait for too long to be served. Price is not expensive if one just order sushi in a plate which cost 99cents per plate. This is cheaper than other Japanese restaurants. Offers unique dishes like Rose bud tea, one of a kind Tempura and desserts. Had the chocolate mousse cake, curry udon and mango ice. Simply love the mousse cake which although is a bit hard in texture, is great tasting and not too sweet.
Cons:
Sushi taste just abit above average however, its compensated by the lower price. Main dishes like curry udon, tempura, chicken karaage (salty) are a tad more expensive than other places although there is no significant difference in the portion. Staffs should explain more of the order procedure to customers on sitting.
Pros: Cute deco using toys like Cookie monsters giving a pleasant feeling when we first walk into the restaurant. Staffs are generally friendly and react fast to requests. Funny names of the dishes leaves us wonder about which kind to order and anticipate what we will get. Orders came fast enough for us to remain patient. Order side dish: Garlic bread with Mosella Cheese, seems to be one of the best item in the menu. Crispy crust with soft bread and chewy cheese on it. Its a good place for small gatherings.
Cons: Food is so so. Ordered the Band Aid mud cake and the bony cake and was quite disappointed with the taste. Band Aid was quite plain though its lead actor is coffee and even uses Kalua to taste. The bony cake on the whole is better than Band Aid though the ice cream taste abit funny.
Pros : Nice and appetizing restaurant deco interestingly designed seats. Friendly waitress and managers who however, does not speak at all. Fast serving of food and interesting, wide array of food and desserts in the menu.
Cons: Taste of food was only so so. Ordered Ginseng chicken soup which tasted more like chicken in MSG soup. There was minimum or no taste of the Ginseng at all. My friend ordered this Kimchi noodles and he said the ingredient is not even kimchi. Its just chillied vegetables. Price is not cheap for the level of taste. We wanted to order the dessert however, when we called the waitress to take order, she went and got us the bill instead. Hence we were pissed as she took quite long to get the bill which wasn't our intention in the first place. So in the end we did not get any dessert at all.
this outlet is the first time I went for any Pepper Lunch. We went there for dinner and first impression wasn't all that great.
Customers especially those as new as us would be confused of the sitting arrangement and ordering system. Perhaps instead of having staffs standing around to answer queries, they could have a notice board or something with instructions. The customers would not have the perpetual "blur" look when they first enter the restaurants.
Food. Not that great. At least it does not give the wow factor but merely some new experiences to a different way of eating. Cooking the food though is interesting, seeing the raw meat on the plate doesn't increase my appetite. Not a balanced meal as they served bean sprouts and very little of other vegetables. Cooking the food also cause a smell to be emitted while we struggle to stir the veges.
On the whole, I wouldn't visit Pepper Lunch often. Perhaps I will visit when I feel like cooking but lazy to buy ingredients
