This is the only time that I’ve had pepper lunch and felt quite upset. Times must be so bad that salmon slices have become salmon bits? As a pepper lunch lover, I felt quite cheated.

For takeaways, had witnessed numerous times that they practiced cooking 2 same orders on one hot plate and splitted into 2 containers. Last witnessed it was today (20/4/22) at 6.45pm. Just curious how would they determine the correct amount of rice and ingredients in each container in this case?? What is the rational behind having the correct rice dispense out if such practice is in place? Had asked the helper once before but was totally ignored without any replies!!

The service was just the worst. If not for the food, I would not even go there. The staff was so rude. I was just kindly asking if my food was ready as I was not sure if it was and the staff just rudely said back “ I already said it will take 20 mins” . It’s not as if I asked many times. I was just confirming with them.

Jing attitude was atrocious as if we owe her a big time. Food portion is less than half the takeaway box.

they can’t make a seamless experience for all their customers. ordered takeaway , the staff did not hear it and when they call my number they said i had to wait again. saw people eating there didn’t have to wait and many orders went passed and i still dont get my takeaways. waited for more than 30 mins just for my order because staff did not take note that mine was a takeaway! they simply didn’t feel apologetic and drag on.

As a walk-in customer, I had to wait for them to complete their online orders first. It took me over an hour from ordering to collecting my meal. Additionally, my spoon wasn't washed well; I suspected there was salmon left on it.

I just paid full price for what I can only assume was an *appetizer sampler*—because no entrée should be that easy to finish in 30 seconds. Did your chef mistake my plate for a jewelry display case? Next time, just hand me a magnifying glass with my order. Saves us both the suspense.

For takeaway orders, I've frequently observed them cooking two identical orders on a single hot plate and then dividing the food into two separate containers. I last witnessed this today (20/4/22) at 6:45 PM. I'm just curious how they determine the correct amount of rice and ingredients for each container in such a case? What is the rationale behind ensuring the correct amount of rice is dispensed if such a practice is in place? I asked a helper about this once before but was completely ignored, receiving no reply.

They were formally pepper lunch express and now is pepper kitchen. They sell the same thing as pepper lunch. Pepper lunch has always been one of my favourite. I like their steak/ teriyaki chicken set. The Christmas ribeye steak is awesome!
