Pepper Lunch - Artesia

They make everything so delicious and quick! Garlic sauce on top makes everything taste even

The Vegas location is much better. This is my 4th time in Cerritos. Sadly, the surf and turf is less than half of the portion. Pieces of entree didn't even fill the hot plate. Over $55 for lunch for 2!! Never again will I return. The steak was half fat and only bits of shrimp. Never ever again!!

This is my second time visiting Pepper Linch. The first time was a wow!!! The meat was flavorful and the bottom of the rice was crispy.Because our first awesome experience, my husband and I decided to eat there again. I am sorry to say, the second time was a bit disappointing. The meat wasn't as flavorful and the bottom of the rice wasn't crispy.I sent mine back to put it on the stove for a bit longer because it wasn't as sizzling as the first time I visited. The fat in the meat was still not cooked.The first time, the fat was good with the sizzling hot plate and added some flavor but not this time. Even after I sent it back, the food came out quite quickly. I don't think the plate was even hot.I am usually the picky one but my husband also noticed the flavorless meat. I was able to eat my meal without using any sauces at my first visit but the second time, I had to use a lot of the sauces.The front of the house services were great. When I send the plate back, the person was very friendly and helpful. I just wish the kitchen staff would actually cook it longer.I hope my next visit will be like my first visit.

The food is delicious, however, if you don't know what you're doing it is a bit confusing, like when one walks in, there is a sign that says please wait to be seated, then you order and pick a table.The food was amazing, I have had this delivered several times, in person is a different animal, and worth the confusing entrance. We had the curry, and it was fantastic. We will be back.

Super impressed with this place. The food is high quality and delicious. Great ambiance and the staff were really friendly. After spending 10 days eating out in OC, this has been my favorite new restaurant.
