Exciting news for Arizona State University students and the surrounding community! Pepper Lunch, the globally beloved Japanese-born fast-casual concept, is set to open its doors on the ASU campus in Q4 of this year. As we join iconic brands like Chick-fil-A, Burger King, and Subway, we're thrilled to bring our unique DIY teppanyaki experience to the heart of Sun Devil territory.

Prime Location for Convenience and Accessibility

Our new Pepper Lunch restaurant will be strategically located in the brand-new University Gateway Building, right at the Gammage Light Rail stop. This prime spot puts us at the center of campus life, adjacent to the year-round Gammage Performing Arts Center and surrounded by a vibrant mix of dorms, hotels, office buildings, and retail shops.

What makes our location even more convenient? We're attached to a 1200-space parking garage with free in/out access for to-go pickup. Whether you're a student rushing between classes, a faculty member on a lunch break, or a visitor exploring the campus, Pepper Lunch is perfectly positioned to serve you a quick, delicious meal.

A Unique Dining Experience That Fits Student Life

At Pepper Lunch, we understand the fast-paced lifestyle of college students and the surrounding community. That's why we've designed our dining experience to be both quick and engaging. Here's what sets us apart:

  1. DIY Teppanyaki: You're in control of your meal, cooking it to perfection on our signature sizzling iron plates.
  2. Quality Ingredients: We proudly offer premium steaks and fresh ingredients at affordable prices.
  3. Speed and Affordability: Get in, dine, and be on your way in 20 minutes for under $20.
