    They've updated the inside with a bunch more seating!

    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.

    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

    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!

    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!

    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!!

    FOOD: scrumptious! Good value - good portions and quality. Deep, rich flavors. Menu is concise with good variety. BEST: crawfish fried rice. SERVICE: good! Weekday at 6pm-- low traffic, filled 30% capacity, quick service, order-to-table time 10 mins. Order and pay at counter, self-sitting. Staff is courteous and polite. AMBIANCE: quaint, small dinning area with limited siting (indoor sitting only). Harsh natural lighting at sunset, warm temperature as a result of the floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall glass store front. Comfortable noise volume. Will return!

    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

    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.

    Milk tea was flavorless and 75% ice The dumplings were eh (4/10) Fried rice was 6/10 Decor was so confusing lol random stickers everywhere The service was judgy? I asked if they had another menu, and he said no but they had a separate drink menu, which I didn't see until later so I had to order twice

    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.

Wouldn't let me change my order when the order had just got sent in and not paid for, I should've walked out then. All I wanted to do was take an eggroll and biscuit off but u can tell she was money hungry. She was very rude and just was rushing for the money. That instantly made my husband mad. Anyways not only was the lady, I think her name was Mama D rude she put the order in wrong. I was there at 3:50 ish so I was just in time for happy hour at 4, so I waited to order my drink. She didn't want me to order it to go for whatever problematic reason so I told her I didn't want it bc I knew I couldn't finish the margarita that quick. She told me my food was gone take wayyy longer so I said ok I'll have a drink while I wait. The food came out and I was like I knew that was gone happen. Didn't even take one sip. She had an attitude bc not she had to give me the to go cup. Mind u the cups aren't the same she filled it up half way and said it's on special like I shouldn't be questioning why it was half full. Still left her a tip bc I support Black Businesses. Order was still wrong. . Just rude for no reason. The shrimp were good. I ordered hot lemon pepper it was mediocre. She was also rude to the ppl that walked in telling them where to sit. Business minded ppl would've had it blocked off or something. Would not go back bc HOUSTON has good food all around and customer service is mandatory! Be humble!

    I have to admit I was a little overwhelmed by the amount of wing flavors they offer here. There are…read morea lot of options on the menu and it honestly took me a minute to decide. I'm a pretty big wing fan, so I was excited to try this place out. They have a list of their top flavors posted right in front of where you order, which made it a little easier to narrow things down. I ended up picking two from that list. I went with the garlic parmesan wings and the lemon pepper buffalo since those seemed to be two of the more favored options. I was slightly disappointed because with the amount of flavors they have, the sauces and rubs were good, but the wings themselves were not cooked crispy. They were a little on the softer side and slightly undercooked for my taste, which is why I ended up deducting a star. If the wings had been fried a bit longer and had that crispy bite, this probably would have easily been a five-star experience for me. I ordered inside and the customer service was really good. The staff was friendly and my food came out pretty quickly, which I appreciated. Flavor-wise everything was solid, so the potential is definitely there. I also snapped a picture of the menu because they run different specials throughout the week. Unfortunately I came on the weekend, so I wasn't able to take advantage of any of the weekday deals. The wings are a little pricey, but honestly that seems to be the going rate for wings these days. If I come back, I would probably just ask for the wings and fries to be cooked a little longer so they come out crispier. I'd also be curious to try more of the flavors since they have so many. I may stop by on their $0.87 wing day just to sample a few more and give them another shot. Overall, not bad

    These are easily the most delicious wings I've had in a LONG time. 87 flavors is ridiculous but I…read morewant to try them ALL.

First, I noticed that the staff handling food behind the counter were not wearing gloves. Hygiene is important, especially when preparing and serving food, and it was concerning that no one appeared to be following proper food safety practices. At that time, the rotisserie was already being cleaned, which told me they had stopped preparing fresh chicken for the day. Instead, they were serving pre-cooked chicken kept in a warmer. As expected, this made the chicken dry and hard on the outside. I ordered the 1/2 dark meat chicken with yellow rice and Tequeños. However, I was given two small leg quarters and an extra piece of white meat--which I didn't ask for--all of which were extremely dry. The portion size has noticeably decreased as well. I was also very concerned to see them using spray cleaner near the food, which poses a risk of chemical contamination. On top of that, the Tequeños were extremely dark and tasted like they had been refried, nearly burnt. Adding to the poor experience, one of the girls behind the counter was playing around and massaging her coworkers while customers were being served. That level of unprofessional behavior is not something anyone wants to see while waiting for their food. I've always liked this place for its fresh rotisserie chicken, but it feels like DoDo's has started cutting corners on both food quality and cleanliness. Paying $19.52 for this meal just didn't feel worth it.

Despite having my contact information, they provided no courtesy call or cancellation notice. To make matters worse, the employee was incredibly rude and disrespectful, telling me it "wasn't his problem" and that I had to come back the next day for a refund. Save your time and money--go somewhere that actually values its customers.
