A few buddies and I wanted to have a chill night in so we ordered a feast from Pepper Salt. None of us had previously tried them, but they were well reviewed, and they did not disappoint Their menu offers a wide variety of Chinese dishes, and many with a fusion or modern take on classic dishes. We were starving so we ordered so many wings, some sides, and a couple of entrees to share. The portions were hearty, and the to-go options were perfect for family style and sharing I haven't ever stepped foot in the restaurant itself, so, I can't speak to the ambiance, decor, and overall vibe. I can speak to the service. It was painless to order. You can call, order online for delivery or pick up, you can also use one of the many food delivery apps. After we submitted our order we actually got a call from the restaurant confirming a couple of things. This was a nice touch because they didn't just assume, they wanted to make sure everything was correct. Also, the food arrived in no time at all Everything was tasty. Everyone looked food on their plates and even went back for seconds Some tips: I would order the wings because they have so much flavor, they are crispy, and it's easy to share/try various flavors They have an option to order an extra egg on the menu. We assumed this was for the fried rice, but this is the main reason we received a call from them asking where we wanted the egg lol Cheers!! read more

Ordered takeout online & was happy to find that my order was ready at the estimated time. I was greeted immediately upon arrival, the gentlemen at the front desk was nice & invited me to help myself to any condiments I wanted. I ordered their fried rice, basil chicken & shrimp with broccoli. The fried rice & basil chicken was great, my only comment would be that the shrimp in the shrimp with broccoli order were pretty small in comparison to most Asian restaurants, nonetheless the flavor was good & the serving size was plentiful. For portion size reference, I split my order with my mom & still had leftovers for the next day which meant my $30 was well spent! read more

Friendly little storefront spot with counter service and about 3 tables. The food came quickly and was very good. I had the shrimp and scallops and my partner had fried rice - both were delicious. read more

Happen upon this place and everything looked so great!! Started with some edamame and veggie rolls. Wifey had shrimp tempura which was amazing! I ordered the chicken wing fried rice plate and it was great, but the game changer was the lemon pepper dip thing they give you.....OMFG!! We'll have to come back whenever we're at least ten miles from this place!! Attendant was courteous, polite and willing to help with the menu. Ambiance is quaint which is a definite plus! read more

Really happy Pepper Salt is here - it's a great addition to the area. Simple, tasty, quaint. What more do you need? The owner is nice and inside is cute and well kept. The menu isn't huge but still has a good variety. Food is good, portions are generous, and a good value price wise. I'm a sucker for the kimchi rice 10/10. read more

Great food for a low price! Today I was checking the highest rating food spots in Houston and pepper salt pulled up as it's known for its fried rice and ramen. So I thought about giving It a try during this rainy day. Walking in the restaurant is like a mom and pop shop with a few seats, music and just one area to place your order. The owner is pretty friendly but was a bit confused when I asked to keep the merchant copy of my receipt because I wanted to eat the food first before I tipped. I ordered the spicy tonkatsu ramen The ramen came pretty fast and was hot that on my first sip I burned my tongue. I want to make clear that this is not a Japanese restaurant this a Chinese restaurant so the noodles were not egg noodles but they were still good. They had a good pull on them and slurped well. The broth was delicious but not spicy enough I asked for more chili oil and that helped a lot. My only caveat is if you compare this to other ramen you got a Japanese restaurant (like I did) you'll notice that some of the ingredients weren't as fresh as usual. The nori was good, bamboo shoots were not too sweet but kept its crunch and the tonkatsu was a bit tough. Overall I believe the hype behind this restaurant and will come again the next time I'm in Houston read more

Food was pretty good! I took my family there to try some combination rice and it was good. A nice amount of food and it had some pretty good flavor to it! We were all happy. If I'm in the area again I'd go back! read more

While the menu has expanded dramatically since they first opened, the fried rice and chicken nuggets are still the best thing on the menu.

I live down the street and first time in. GREAT lunch specials very tasty and lots of food! We had the Gen Tso's chicken with fried rice, egg roll hot and sour soup and jasmine tea. VERY GOOD VALUE!! read more

Newly opened cafe featuring Taiwanese snacks with a mix of traditional Asian flavors and more popular Western ones. It's a small place, about the size of a coffee/bubble tea shop with 5-6 tables. Plenty of parking as it's in a small strip center. We ended up ordering something from every section of the menu and enjoyed all of it. However, the fried rice was the standout of the night. All fried rice are not created equal. We ordered the combo fried rice and it struck the perfect balance of flavor, ingredients, and texture. The rice was moist, it wasn't too salty, and it also came out piping hot! Days later, I'm still thinking about it. Everyone else must have also figured out the fried rice is special here, as I saw ~5 to go orders also order fried rice to go. Lychee milk tea (5/5): great lychee flavor and not too sweet - would definitely order again. Chicken nuggets (5/5): ample amount of fried basil leaves, nuggets seasoned well - again not too salty, chicken still juicy and not overcooked Spicy basil wings (4/5): cooked well, not spicy despite the name, flavor was good, but I prefer dry rub, so rating based more on preference Asian spiced Fried tofu (4/5): Asian spice = traditional salt and pepper, fried super crispy and comes with a savory dipping sauce, the Asian spice was a little light, would try a different flavor next time Combo fried rice (5+/5): shrimp, chicken, and beef all cooked to perfection, the fragrance of the green onion wafting from the fried rice was so good. The rice was moist and not too greasy either. One of the best fried rice I've had. Crawfish fried rice (4/5): rice just as good as the other order, but has some heat/spice to it. I prefer the combo but again that's mostly preference. They only had one person working in the back, so service was as fast as it could be given everything was being made to order. I don't think we waited more than 15 min for our food. They've only been open a few weeks so I think they're still staffing up. Will definitely be back! read more

The food was great/ exceptional and reasonably priced. I placed a takeout order and was impressed by the quick service. The staff provided excellent assistance! The gentleman at the front counter was truly a gem. The meal I chose the chicken and broccoli along with fried rice. The Jasmine tea was freshly brewed and undoubtedly the finest jasmine tea I have ever tasted. read more

No clue how this place is rated so high. Ordered black pepper beef lunch special which came with tea, soup, egg roll and entree. Tea was bland, hot sour soup was literally hot water with some scallions floating in it. Entree was mediocre at best. Egg roll was best part of the meal and I would rate it 6 out of 10. Maybe kitchen had an off day but I won't be going back to find out. read more

The food was exquisite, full of flavor and good size portions. I had the chicken steamed dumplings and the sweet and sour chicken. I also had a delicious mango green tea. I'm already looking forward to coming back and I haven't even left the restaurant. read more

I drove by this place many times before I gave it a try, and now I've been here 3 days in a row for lunch! It is great. The owner is extremely friendly and they do have limited seating inside and out but a very relaxed environment. The food is awesome. So far I have eaten: Day 1: Vegetable fried rice & Shrimp fried rice My eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach so I took some home for seconds! Day 2: Spicy Ramen (Extra Spicy) Day 3: Combo (beef, chicken, and shrimp fried rice Small business. Come check it out!! read more

This is by far THE BEST fried rice I've ever had!! I love fried rice so I've ordered quite a few along the years, and Pepper Salt is the best one by far. I order it almost every week and I can't believe I forgot to leave a review here. read more

Peeps. Grab some grub on the go and it was everything my Elite Village said it was. Small space so I recommend to get it and keep moving. The food was hot and fresh and tasted great. The hey also let you grab as much duck sauce as you want which shocked me. But don't be greedy. Definitely on my list for takeout and take home. Fall through and tell them Dk sent you. #DrKindness read more

My wife and I and our daughter-in-law and our grandbaby enjoyed our first visit to Pepper Salt. Great little Asian fusion place, food from Tawain, Korea, China, etc. We shared everything. The wonton soup was very tasty. The Tawainese style chicken nuggets were a hit. The fried vegetable egg rolls were gone almost as soon as they hit the table. You can get fried rice and add/get fancy items like spam...which is what we shared...this got us stirred up enough to go shopping for a keto sub for rice....cauliflower rice and spam may be for supper. We'll be back for more of these goodies. They do a few coffee and milk tea concoctions, wings and dumplings that we'll try on our next visit. read more

I couldn't recommend this store more. It's a small little place over in Meyerland, but the food is elite. We had the steamed and fried dumplings both were absolutely delicious. The dipping sauce was not overly salty. It was balanced very well. The seafood fried rice I would come back and get 100 times. I can't wait to come back and try their traditional fried rice. From the wonton soup to the spring roll everything was just absolutely delicious. read more

I tried this place out recently and it did not disappoint. It's a cute place with a good vibe. The flavors were definitely authentic, a great menu with some really nice dishes and the service was friendly. I would definitely recommend! i'm already looking forward to coming back. read more

Great experience dining in with my boys, all of them enjoyed the food and prices are reasonable. There is not much space inside so next time I think we will order to go. Buena opción en el vecindario, comida muy original y con buen sazón asiático. No hay mucho espacio para comer allí así que es buena opción el ordenar para llevar. read more

Wonderful food and staff! The food is excellent and a hidden gem in the Meyerland area. It offers delectable food that you can hardly find in the area. The Taiwanese chicken nuggets and fried rice are amazing!! Crispy, juicy, tender chicken bites with plentiful fried basil along with hot and fresh egg fried rice make the perfect pair. The restaurant itself was super clean and the staff were very helpful! It's has very cozy seating and perfect for a quick bite to eat. It is extremely comparable to places in Bellaire/Chinatown! Go check them out!! read more

The food was very tasty! Service was quick and friendly! I ordered the squid nuggets. Seasoned perfectly! Tender and cooked to perfection. This is my new spot for squid.

Not greasy at all! I have a new favorite spot and can't wait to try the rest of the menu. read more

So I had time to kill and I was famished. Looked on Yelp at restaurants near my location, and I saw this was a new business with good reviews decided to give it try. First it's such a cute, small and quaint place, I loved the decor because it was much different from the usual spots that serve this type of food. The owner greeted me and took my order. I order egg fried rice with chicken and order of egg rolls. It was ready in the amount of time he gave me. It was piping hot just how I like my food. I wanted to wait till I got home but decided to try a spoon of rice. Omgggg it was so good and fresh, nothing like the fried rice I'm accustomed to. Decided to try egg roll and it didn't disappoint fresh and tasty. I know fresh ingredients when I taste them. I am so glad I gave this place a try. I only thru them 4 stars because he didn't have(ran out) of sirachi sauce and he didn't have the spicy chili oil either. Not a deal breaker but I love spicy dishes. I will be back. Give this place a try and thank me later! read more

Yuk! The service was good, but the food was very underwhelming to say the least. The Ramen tasted nasty. The fried rice was just ok.
