The second flame broiler I have been to. The food is simple and decently healthy. Just meat, rice, and veggies. The flavor is good and does not leave you feeling bloated. The staff are very friendly but the food comes out slowly. Seems like they are not sustainable, only 2 people working and not that busy. The interior is large and clean.

Meal with very little protein. Ridiculous
Alex B.

Disappointing experience. The food tasted fine, but the portion size was way too small for the price. I left still hungry, which shouldn't happen after a full meal. Definitely not worth it unless they improve the portions.

Barely any chicken

This place always short out on the meat. So I go the one on Milton pkwy. That owner have always been very nice and gave good portion but unfortunately they closed. Not I'm back to this location to try again. They still short out on the portion. The meat not even touching the lid. The lady never have a smile on her coughing everywhere. Won't come to this one ever again

Food

Food was really good but most importantly the costumer service was the best. Got my food in 2 mins after I ordered. Highly recommend this spot. I've been here almost everyday on my lunch since I work at Big O Tires nearby. The worker Sid that's been taking care of me since I started going here is the very professional and will take care of you. He's one of the main reason I got here.

A big ball of rice stuck together

I've been to a lot of flame broilers and this is probably the worst that I've been to. The cashier is always super unfriendly. No "hi how are you" or "thank you enjoy your meal". Just zero dialogue, which unfortunately I've also noticed at other fast restaurants in Irvine. I've encountered two different cashiers and they have both been like this. The interior of the establishment is also fairly uninviting. Although I suppose I'm not there to hang out. There were a few fruit flies at the sauce area and hovering around the sauce nozzles. Last, the food isn't very hot and always feels like it's been sitting there for a while. Also, my rice was completely stuck together in a large ball. That's pretty off putting.

Chicken Regular Bowl

For the record, I give this place a solid 2.5 stars. I normally don't give 2.5 stars even for fast food establishments but this really did not meet my expectations. I went in expecting a nice hefty bowl of rice and chicken but came out with a portion size I was not satisfied with. For 10 dollars, I would expect a lot more. Also, the chicken here was relatively dry and didn't have much fatty parts (could be a good thing and bad thing, depends how you look at it). Also wish there were more vegetables. A 1:1 ratio of rice to vegetables with the chicken they provide would honestly keep me satisfied and happy. Overall, I think if you wanted to eat healthy, I would rather go to Chipotle where you can get quality chicken with lots of vegetables.

Half & Half Plate

Chicken Bowl
Emily J.

The flame broiler's advertising makes it seem like it's all about healthy food that tastes good, but I'm not convinced. The portion of chicken was pretty small. I do normally have a pretty big appetite, but I'd still definitely consider this portion small. The chicken was dry, but there wasn't any fatty meat or skin. So I guess not super great tasting meat but healthier than most other fast food places. The teriyaki sauce was good, but it was a bit overdone and got a lot of the rice underneath soaked in sauce. I'm not sure how healthy it is to be drenching rice in teriyaki sauce. There were no vegetables included in the bowl even though there are veggies in the picture provided for online ordering. Not a super balanced meal, just chicken and rice. Pretty mediocre in my opinion, and not really worth $8.

This guy so nice.

Ok "sizzling plate" LOVE!! Fantastic First time Experience!…read moreI recently dined in at the Pepper Lunch in Irvine for the very first time, and it was a fun, delicious, and unique experience! I ordered the Rib Eye and Salmon combo, which was served with rice and a side salad. The meal arrives hot iron plate, letting you cook and mix everything together to your preference. Both the rib eye was incredibly tender, and the salmon was fresh and perfectly flaky paired together so well. The mix of their signature sweet and savory sauces into the hot rice along with the meat juices took the flavor up a notch for sure!! The side salad was crisp and provided a nice, refreshing pair to the rich main dish. The atmosphere was great for a casual dine-in meal, and the live cooking aspect made it really fun. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a hearty and satisfying meal in Irvine. I will definitely be coming back! I had the pleasure of being served and answered all my questions by Darren. Very polite and knowledgeable of the menu. Energy is everything for me when trying new spots and he brought that personality right in. Thank you Darren and Pepper lunch. Wish I got a photo of my food !! next time!!

I ordered a 3-Item Plate, and it honestly looked smaller than what a 1-Item Plate used to be. The portion sizes across the board were extremely disappointing. The Orange Chicken was mushy and soft instead of crispy and fresh. The Beef & Broccoli contained only three small pieces of beef with mostly broccoli. I also paid the additional $1.95 upgrade for the Cantonese BBQ Brisket, and the portion was so small it was hard to believe. To make matters worse, the brisket was dry and lacked flavor. Even the rice portion was noticeably smaller than what Panda Express used to serve. I understand that food costs have increased and prices have gone up, but charging more while serving a fraction of the food customers used to receive is not acceptable. Unfortunately, this experience left me feeling ripped off. There are plenty of restaurants offering better quality food, larger portions, and enough leftovers for a second meal. If Panda Express continues reducing portions while raising prices, they're going to lose loyal customers like me. Very disappointing experience.
