"A self-described 'Japanese DIY Teppan' restaurant, Pepper Lunch opened on the ground floor of Shanghai Plaza and brings the Japan-based chain’s teppan-style cooking—where diners cook at their table—to Las Vegas alongside other Taiwan- and Japan-born concepts in the same building." - Eater Staff

"A self-described “Japanese DIY Teppan” that opened on the ground floor of Shanghai Plaza and has already been drawing crowds, I ordered via a touch-screen (or at the counter) and had servers bring Pepper Lunch’s “patented electromagnetic plates” heated to 500 degrees Fahrenheit to my seat so I could cook the ingredients to my preferred doneness. Instructions on the table showed how to “sizzle like a pro,” with tips for cooking pepper rice, steak curry, and pasta plates and suggested flavor combinations using the sweet and garlic sauce condiments. The photo-packed menu includes beef, chicken, eel, shrimp, salmon, and curry options plus premium rib eye and New York steak upgrades, salads, teriyaki creations, tofu and vegetable choices, and cream chicken or kale and spinach pasta selections; extra toppings can be added and sides include rice, miso soup, sweet potato wedges, onion rings, fries, and a seaweed shake salad." - Bradley Martin
