We had an incredible experience at Green Pepper. Truly such an underrated spots with some amazing food. We started with the Korean fried chicken and green scallion pancakes. The fried chicken was so crisp and the sauce on top, I would go back just for those! The beef bulgogi was still sizzling when we got it. So rich and full of flavors!! We tried the bibimbap with chicken and this was good, but if I were to go back I would skip this and get something else. My absolute favorite was the RA-POKEE. This has so many flavors and was filled with seafood, rice cakes and ramen. Such a generous portion for the price. We left satisfied and full as possible with so many leftovers. The staff is kind and attentive and care about if you enjoy the food or not. There is also a variety of different drinks and lots of open seating. There's two side of the restaurant and lots of tables. Highly recommend this spot! read more

This place is incredible!!!! I highly highly recommend going here. The food is truly to die for and the flavors are unmatched. The food comes out relatively quickly and the service is very good. I've come here a couple of times. My favorites are the steak short ribs (Galbi), bulgogi, and the Korean fried chicken (you can split the flavors half and half). My friends and I wanted to try something new and so we got the pork ribs (they were ehh); also, the chicken dinner dish was also very average. There was only one mishap once where the fried chicken we got was cold. However, once the waitress knew about this she got us a new dish which was very kind. This place can hold a lot of people and has a lot seating! read more

Green Pepper in Squirrel Hill has flown under my radar and I'm not sure how because I love Korean food! We went for dinner yesterday and the staff we interacted with was sweet and our food came out quickly. The inside consists of two long rooms with plenty of seating available. While we dined in, we saw a good amount of takeout being ordered. The portions were generous and I really loved the perfectly seasoned bulgogi and the enormous crispy Korean fried chicken wings with the most delicious sauce. My favorite though was the chuncheon spicy chicken with cheese and ramen - if you love spicy food you need to get this! I was so sweaty from eating this and I mean this in the most complimentary way. The only constructive criticism I have is that the chive pancake wasn't what I expected - i was thinking it was going to be a flat crispy pancake and it came out as a big roll essentially. It still tasted good though. I can't wait to come back!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

We will be coming back often -- it's our new favorite restaurant! We had a delicious meal here! We shared three entrees, and the portions were generous enough for a take-home box for each one. The Bibimbap --mixed rice with marinated shredded beef and veggies-- was seriously the best we've ever had. The meat was tender and flavorful, the veggies were perfect, and the gochuchang was served on the side so we could add some with each (delicious) bite. The Jopchae (glass noodles) had a VERY generous amount of vegetables and just enough yummy sauce so it wasn't dry, but not so much that it was soggy. Galbi --marinated beef short ribs -- was smoky, savory, and tender. We gobbled up the sides, which included kimchi with just the tight amount of spice (even our non-spicy diner could handle it), very fresh bean sprouts, some spiced potatoes, and super-fresh salad greens tossed with gochugaru. We regret not ordering more to take home! Service was quick and attentive. read more

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. read more

The serving sizes were large, and the food was quite tasty. The only thing that I would say about the food is that it is definitely on the milder side, so if you're looking to get really spicy, maybe mention that to the waitstaff. They also have a selection of fun Asian origin soft drinks, and you actually get a small one at the end of the meal. The food comes impressively quickly, and the inside of the restaruant has such a nice ambiance. The banchan (appetizer) selection that usually precedes meals at korean restaurants was a bit smaller than you typically see, but still tasty. The only constructive criticism that I have is that the kimchi chicken fried rice had a lot of rice, and not a lot of kimchi or chicken, and if it had been a bit more seasoned (it tasted very plain), this place would definitely be a five. Looking forward to coming back! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Great option of whats limited in Pittsburgh for a taste of korean food. The menu has a wide variety from snack eats to stews. We had the mackerel fish and a kimchi stew. The food was good and tasted well seasoned and fresh. The service was good and they use gas stoves to keep things hot. I would recommend this place for some korean eats! read more

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! read more

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. read more

I love Green Pepper! I've been a few times now, and the seafood la-po-keep is my favorite. The prices have definitely gone up a bit in recent years, but I don't think they're outrageous. The food is delicious and the restaurant is adorably decorated. The service is relatively hands-off aside from taking our orders and refilling waters, but I often prefer that when I come to chat with friends. I definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

Delicious. We stopped in today for dumplings, spring rolls and Korean bbq (sweet and spicy) wings. They bring a few pre meal bites to the table, these were all delicious. And post meal they brought tiny little fruity drinks. Service was good food was all tasty. There are many other items on the menu that i would like to try. Tried this spot on a whim as we had parked out front to visit Jerry's Records down the block. Would 10/10 go here again and recommend you do too! read more

I love this place! There aren't a lot of good Korean restaurants in the burgh, and I was really craving juicy, hot, and saucy KFC. That's right - Korean Fried Chicken! Every so often, I'll see a fried chicken commercial, and the craving for KFC just overcomes me. Before Green Pepper, I hadn't found a great place to satisfy those cravings. Sure, Chick'n and Bubbly kept it at bay for a while, but the juiciness of the KFCs there just wasn't quite the same. Thank goodness I finally found a great place for KFC! The KFC is crunchy, juicy, and still piping hot after a car ride! Green Pepper has also been really good about pick up during the COVID times. Everything is placed with your name out on the table, so you really don't have to seen anyone to pick up your food. They also offer sauce on the side so the crispiness of the chicken doesn't get lost sitting in sauce. And lastly, be sure to double up on the pickled daikon to get that great crunch and pickled contrast to the KFC. Do try this place and keep this small business open - they're the best KFC in the burgh! read more

It's always a treat coming to Green Pepper. They are slightly pricier than other Korean restaurants, but it's so good! My go to is usually their seafood soon do bu.

Green Pepper - Seafood Soon-Doo-Boo - Karaoke Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Two soon-doo-boos, fried dumplings, and veggie croquettes. I spent $45 and was told that what I ordered "doesn't come with banchan because it comes with rice". It's just a little crazy to me that's the policy. I've never been to a Korean store that a meal didn't offer banchan, especially after spending $45. Needless to say, I likely won't be returning as a customer. Minus one star for No traditional side dishes, minus another star for poor customer service, and minus another star for having something brown/yellow in the middle of my rice Edit: I also minus one star because I also have never been to a Korean food restaurant where they didn't allow us to change spice level or make not spicy for kids. My kid loves soon-doo-boo and all other places can do not spicy for him except this restaurant. read more

There are much better Korean places in the city. Here the food is super expensive and just okay on flavor. They don't give you the appetizer assortment at the beginning of the meal or with your meal. The ambiance is lacking. There are weird bar decorations hung up talking about beer and margaritas like you've walked into a Chili's restaurant. And to really wet your appetite, they seat you on dirty couches with glaring stains. Odd choice and I felt a little squicked out to sit on it, but I bore through the weirdness. My group's food came out at weird times, and they'd completely forgotten to make 2 out of 5 of the meals. Good thing we were eating family style or my friends would have gone hungry for an hour. read more

This is a nice Korean restaurant on Murray. We went for dinner. We decided to order the vegetarian bibimbap and the kimchi stew. The banchan isn't per person and is for the whole table, but you can get more after finishing at no cost. I personally ordered the kimchi stew. Came out super hot, which was great. It comes with a side of rice, and even if the stew looks kind of small, there's a lot of soup in there. I wish there was more rice in comparison to the amount of soup. The soup was good, good amount of tofu but very little pork. Plenty of kimchi in the soup which was nice. My friend who ordered the bibimbap said it was good, but a little too oily. Overall, the food was good, but my main issue was the price. My soup was $16!! And the vegetarian bibimbap was also $16! I thought that was way too expensive for both of them, especially the bibimbap. I probably wouldn't come here again because it's so expensive and they give a reasonable amount of food, but not for the price of $16. If my entree is $16, I'm expecting a meal that is more more high quality or generous with portions and I didn't get that. read more

We went to visit green pepper couple times in the past. The food is always okay but over priced. We went back again this week. They updated the menu and increased the price. I tried the pork cutlet and the sauce is a bit weird to me. It looks like the curry sauce but not a curry. The soon do boo is decent, very thick and spicy. I like their new addition of self service side dishes. Previously, the waiter took a long time to fill your side dishes or if they every fill your side dish. read more

We went in to try and it was just okay. It was self serve which I honestly didn't mind because then you're only waiting on your food. We got the kimchi stew, japche, beef bibimbap, and fried chicken. Everything was pretty good except the stew was really salty. Everything was very over priced as well. $17 for 6 pieces of fried chicken... and the japche didn't have any meat it was just veggies. Also soju was $15 a bottle. Also no banchan at all not even to order as an appetizer or side which was very disappointing. read more

Coming from an area where there is a Korea-town nearby, I've been to some really nice Korean restaurants, and Green Pepper didn't even come close to the places I've been in the past. To start off, the service is extremely slow. Despite the fact that there were two open tables when I talked into the restaurant, the waiter refused to sit me. When I insisted that they just sit us down for the third time, they simply put two white sheets of paper over the table and then went about their business. Seriously? Just sit down your customers next time, since your waiting area is literally just one small couch that is placed uncomfortably close to another dining table. The waiter I had also had no idea what any of the dishes on the menu were. I get it that the menu is large, but you should probably know what Seafood pancake is if it's literally the most popular appetizer on the menu. As for the food, I was not impressed. The Seafood Pancake appetizer looked ok, but was just not really flavored well. Everything was really bland, and the mixture was a bit messy. Also, there just wasn't enough seafood, so it ended up being a salad pancake with an occasional shrimp. For the main course, the bulgogi, I was really disappointed. The meat was not even cut like bulgogi should be, which is thin slices. Instead, I received short noodle-like meat cuts that you would find at a Chinese place. The meat was also too sweet so it didn't really taste like Korean bbq. What a disappointment. read more

Oh my goodness, I am so disappointed. This place used to be SO delicious. I haven't been here since before Covid, and oh my has it gone downhill. I ordered the bibimbap with beef, which is what I always get, and it was mediocre, if that. The rice was mushy, (it's supposed to get crispy from the hot stone bowl), It had hardly any flavor (I had to douse it in hot sauce, which i never did before), and the beef on top was just like plain hamburger meat. This is not at ALL what they used to serve. And you don't get all the yummy sides anymore either. I am super sad. :( read more

We live in Squirrel Hill and walked here for dinner. It was just okay. We got the Bimbimbop and Beef Bulgogi. My husband liked the Bim, but overall I'd keep trying new places vs go to this place again. The service was super slow and there weren't a lot of people there. read more

Enjoyable Korean dish experience. I'm not very knowledgeable about Korean cuisine but one of my dinner companions had been here and recommended the Bibim-Bop (love the name) dish. You can order it either vegetarian or with bull-go-gi which is beef. I ordered the vegetarian dish. In place of beef is tofu. It comes in a very hot stone bowl. There is rice at the bottom and then vegetables and finally, the tofu on the very top. The dish comes with a fried egg in it which was easily waived so I did. It comes with a side of peppery red paste and I used very gingerly. It was very flavorful and the quantity served is definitely more than I could eat at one sitting. The price for the vegetarian version is about 15.00, while the beef version is about 1.00 extra. Before this dish came to the table, there are side dishes (I believe we had 5) that are served per table, not per person. Some included kimchee, potatoes, sweet potato something, noodles, and broccoli. All were good. I didn't think I would like kimchee, but I was pleasantly surprised. And, you can ask for a refill on these side dishes, which we also did. After dinner, they served us each a small cup of a persimmon drink. It was quite tasty and tasted of cinnamon. The space is pleasant, service efficient and courteous, and food plentiful and tasty while the price was fair but maybe slightly on the high side. Some notes: There were 7 of us seated at two tables pushed together. Their policy appears to be one check per table (regardless of number in your party I'm not quite sure) and you get a ten percent discount if the table pays by cash. There happens to be an ATM inside the restaurant. read more
