Pepper Lunch

Obsessed is what I am with this place. I really wish they had this in the US as I’m sure I’d like it just as much. You basically order and pay via a vending machine kiosk, present your slip and in a few minutes you get your food, really as simple as that. They have a nice variety on the menu depending on how hungry you are. Clean, fast, and efficient is the name of the game with this place. Certainly if you’re looking for something, quick, cheap, and tasty look no further than Pepper Lunch (although I kept wanting to call it Pepper Steak) which my friend had to keep correcting me.

Apparently, this is a fast food chain all over Asia. We were drawn to come in because of yummy smell that was coming from the place. It’s bar seating only– Small place, maybe 15ish people. You order from the menu and since we don’t speak Japanese, we usually just point to what looks good lol.
So basically, the uncooked meat is served to you in a sizzling plate and its up to you how much you want to cook it. I usually like mine with very little red so I left it longer. There were also sauces you can add to your steak. Veggies and other extras like an egg were also available.
I got the smallest steak with corn and rice and it was more than enough food. BF likes to order the steak and for the both of us, dinner usually cost around 2300yen.
