Central at Garden City is the latest shopping plaza, not just known for the newest Walmart in the Lower Mainland, but also a collection of many new stores and restaurants. Today I was grabbing a quick lunch at Pepper Lunch Canada&#8217;s newest location here. The Japanese restaurant chain is known for their sizzling hot lunch served on cast iron plate, prepared with fresh ingredients, including a variety of premium meats such as AAA grade steaks<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t feel like spending too much money on today&#8217;s lunch, so I picked the moderately priced Sliced Angus Steak (4.5 oz) lunch set. It also came with some veggies &#8211; pre-blanched carrots, snap peas, and bean sprouts, a bowl of rice, and 2 types of sauce for the steak. I prefer the garlic  sauce over the sweeter one .<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7012.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-12857 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7012.jpg\" alt=\"Sliced Angus Steak Set\" width=\"3081\" height=\"2052\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7012.jpg 3081w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7012-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7012-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7012-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3081px) 100vw, 3081px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sliced Angus Steak Set<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12858\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12858\" style=\"width: 2414px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7015.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-12858 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7015.jpg\" alt=\"Pepper Lunch Canada, Central at Garden City\" width=\"2414\" height=\"1611\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7015.jpg 2414w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7015-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7015-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7015-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2414px) 100vw, 2414px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12858\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pepper Lunch Canada, Central at Garden City<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12855\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12855\" style=\"width: 3264px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7009.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-12855 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7009.jpg\" alt=\"Pepper Lunch Canada, Central at Garden City\" width=\"3264\" height=\"2176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7009.jpg 3264w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7009-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7009-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7009-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3264px) 100vw, 3264px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12855\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pepper Lunch Canada, Central at Garden City<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12854\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12854\" style=\"width: 2899px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7008.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-12854 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7008.jpg\" alt=\"Pepper Lunch Canada, Central at Garden City\" width=\"2899\" height=\"1931\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7008.jpg 2899w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7008-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7008-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7008-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2899px) 100vw, 2899px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12854\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pepper Lunch Canada, Central at Garden City<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On paper, a 4.5-oz sliced Angus steak with rice lunch set should be the same amount of food with a quarter pounder at MacDonald&#8217;s. But it did feel like a lot less of food, which is actually\u00a0a good thing for me &#8211; I usually save the overeating for culinary feasts. But would it be enough for everyone? Definitely not. My 2nd visit at this restaurant chain was again proving the conclusion I had from my first visit &#8211; I should just need to get a cast iron frying pan, and I can make the &#8220;pepper lunch&#8221; myself at home.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Price:<\/strong> $$<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[wp-review id=&#8221;12853&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Website and menu:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pepperlunchcanada.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.pepperlunchcanada.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>More reviews:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View Menu, Reviews, Photos &amp; Information about Pepper Lunch, Central Richmond and other Restaurants in Metro Vancouver\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zomato.com\/vancouver\/pepper-lunch-1-central-richmond-richmond\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img style=\"border: none; width: 200px; height: 146px; padding: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zomato.com\/logo\/18526724\/biglink\" alt=\"Pepper Lunch Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Location:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2608.185824193761!2d-123.12394998478605!3d49.17806037932011!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x5486753b06050ee9%3A0x216a89d9a1b8f760!2sPepper+Lunch!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sca!4v1512952697020\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1208<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since I work from home a lot\u00a0more these days, I have been\u00a0trying quite a few new lunch places in Richmond.
