    Solid place! Banchan selection was limited but well done (not self serve). Dolsot bibimbop was hot. Servings were generous (enough food to get you full and maybe even have some left overs). I found the bulgolgi a little sweet for my taste and wanted the gochujang sauce to be a little spicier. All in all, it was a good meal though! At the end, our server brought a yakult for each of us - which was a kind and generous touch.

    This is one of my favorite authentic korean restaurants in Pittsburgh! I'm a Korean American and their food reminds me of my mom's cooking it's so yummy! They go above and beyond every time we dine here. Everything on the menu is so good and the kimchi is HOMEMADE! 10000/10

    Fried chicken
    Kiarash A.

    We went to this place on a Saturday night. It was almost empty. We were greeted and seated immediately. The ambiance was nice and pleasant. The service was so friendly and attentive and timely. We enjoyed a bunch of dishes from their menu. All were well prepared and tasty. We enjoyed our dinner. It's a good place for a casual Korean meal if you are around the location.

    Apple yogurt drink

    I would give this restaurant a 3.5/5. Service was good and attentive, and the ambiance was chill. The Korean fried chicken and the grilled pork belly were definitely the best items on the table, extra crispy and flavorful. The kimchi fried rice was very dry, had far too much chicken, and needed to be topped with an egg. The other dishes were good, and the side dishes were excellent. I especially enjoyed the mini apple flavored yogurt drink our waitress gave us with the check, it was refreshing on a hot summer day. Will have to come back to try different menu items someday.

    Spicy seafood rice cake and instant noodle.
    Lori T.

    Among three dishes, beef bone soup was the best. The spicy seafood rice cake & instant noodle did give us a cake but with all those frozen seafood smell. The dumplings tofu soup was ok, didn't hit the spot. Service was good.

    Delicious place!! Came here after getting tea up the street and it was so good! Service was fast and so nice! It is pricier but the portions are huge! Clean inside and wasn't very busy when we went!

    Have ordered several times from Green Pepper but it's our first dine-in experience. It's actually quite nice. Their dishes are delicious as usual. The restaurant is spacious. I love that they have some Korean drinks as options. The serving speed is also fast. Will come back again.

    Pork belly
    Jack L.

    Super solid Korean spot in the middle of town! Didn't expect the food to be this good. Not the best I've had and slightly overpriced for the portions but it definitely hit the spot. Pork belly was nicely charred and slightly crispy on the outside. The small pickled side dishes were on point as well. We even got to try chicken feet which was the first time we'd ever seen that outside of dim sum. Was interesting but probably won't order that again. Lots of street parking right outside on a Tuesday night. Nice and spacious inside. Good service. Will definitely be back.

    Spicy pork. Taste good but the meat cut is different from the photo on uber eats. See next one for the displayed photo.

    I got the spicy pork, it was good but they use meat cuts that are different from uber eats photo.

    Bibimbap with beef
    Julia C.

    Great food, but complicated ordering system and very high prices. All but one or two entrees were priced at over $20. For the smaller and simpler dishes like soondubu or kimchi fried rice, this seemed overpriced. To order, you had to scan a QR code at the table, place your order, and then create an account to pay if you were paying with something besides Apple Pay. The extra step of making an account was a little annoying. Our group paid separately which provided to be a challenge. When people scanned the same QR code, all items added to the same cart regardless of which device was used to add the entree. So we each had to take turns ordering and check out so we could pay separately. The waitstaff was very friendly and accommodating to our group and everyone was satisfied with their food.

    Shrimp Bibimbop
    Rebecca Z.

    Another great Korean staple in Pittsburgh! First time coming here in person, though I frequently order on meal delivery apps. The seating seemed quite ample. Upon being seated, we were directed to get our own utensils, water, etc. from a station on the side. The seafood pancake was satisfyingly fried and crunch, and the bibimbap also crisped up nicely in a hot stone pot. Will definitely continue to order from here!

    Seafood Soon-Doo-Boo
    Mable D.

    Ever since my friend took me here last year, I have gone here anytime I have the excuse to. I remember the first time my friend introduced me to the place, she ate there two other times in the same week because of how much she liked the food there. This place used to be a self-serve place with drinks and cutlery but now has a server to seat you and grab your water and utensils. The food here is amazing. I've had everything including the Korean Saucy Chicks, Chive Pancake Roll, Garl Bee, Bibim Bop, Spicy Seafood Soon Doo Boo, and Job Chae from what I can remember. If you only want to order one thing, get the Spicy Seafood Soon Doo Boo. I cannot tell you the number of times I've ordered this. It's the perfect combination of warm and somewhat spicy broth with soft tofu and seafood. They even pair it with rice to slowly put into the broth and eat together. I can't even count how many times I've even UberEats this when I've been just craving it or down in the dumps because of school work or life in general. Definitely one of my comfort foods. The vibe here is pretty cozy. Some tables have regular wooden chair seats, but the larger tables have couches as part of the seating, which is homey. They also play random kpop music, but I don't mind it much, just background noise when the food comes. I would definitely recommend this place, and I am going to keep coming back here again!

    Spicy Cold Noodles (vegetarian)
    Kelly L.

    High price for mediocre food. First of all, you don't get any banchan. I got the fried chicken appetizer, cold noodles, and bibimbap. The fried chicken was probably the best out of the three. It was crispy and came with a lot sauce. I feel like it was too much sauce, though. The cold noodles had a nice texture but the sauce/soup was pretty off. It had a strong tomato-y taste to it instead of the sweet/spicy that I was expecting. The bibimbap came with tons of beef, which was nice. However, it was lacking in the variety of toppings. I feel like kimchi is usually given as a topping for bibimbap but it did not have any. Lastly, the rice was so mushy and overall just not great.

When we walked in, the host greeted us right away, asked for our name, and seated us pretty quickly. There were actually a good amount of open seats, so I am not sure reservations were completely necessary, but it was still nice to have one. I honestly expected the inside to feel more extravagant and space themed, almost like an outer space vibe with more visual elements and atmosphere. I was hoping for something more immersive and futuristic. It was still cool overall, just not quite as visually dramatic as I imagined. We ordered an espresso martini and the Kiwi Nova. I really enjoyed my drink, especially after talking with the host who explained that they use scientific processes for their cocktails along with fresh purées and fresh ingredients. That is something I really appreciate because I am not a fan of drinks made with a lot of simple syrup or fake additives. He loved his espresso martini and said it was one of the best he has had. My drink was definitely on the sweeter side and I feel like too much of it might lead to a hangover, but it was still really good. Our server was attentive at first, but later on we ended up waiting a while to order another round. After sitting for a bit, we decided to order through the hostess instead and she got us taken care of right away. Overall, it was a cool experience mainly for the drinks. The cocktails were definitely the highlight. Service was okay, and I am not sure if we will return, but I am glad we finally got to check it out.

We originally booked dinner and a karaoke room, but we ended up just doing the karaoke. We arrived on time and were taken to our private room. The employee was having technical difficulties but finally got everything working after 5-10 minutes. We asked about drinks and were told that someone would come in to check on us and take our drink orders. The karaoke room reservations are only for an hour so we got right into it! About 20 minutes into our session, no one had come in to take our drink orders. I decided to go out to the bar and order them myself. That took a little while so I was sad to have missed that time in the karaoke room. Our session ended right at the top of the hour, which is fine. However, the difficulties weren't factored in. No one did ever come in to check on us or take our drink order the whole time we were in there. Lastly, we had to figure out how to pay for the room. I asked a couple of people and was told to go to the bar bit the bartender couldn't find my reservation. He finally did and we paid and left.

While the meat was amazing, my favorite part of the meal was the shrimp. The service was friendly and excellent. Our waitress explained all the options very well, since most of us had never been there. I recommend going with a pretty big group. Then, you can try everything. The all you can eat menu is a great option too. It's only available a couple nights a week, so check the website.
