Pepper twins has been my go too off Kirby since Qin dynasty changed owners and fell off. Are used to go to Qin dynasty for about 20 years, but they really have dropped off in quality and cleanliness. So me and my girlfriend are very happy that we found pepper twins because they take quality and cleanliness pretty serious for the most part.I will admit today the table and the floors were very sticky. So Pepper twins get to it and clean those messy tables and dirty floors.Food: the lunch specials here are absolutely amazing. So far I've gotten the Mongolian beef and it has been top-notch. Actually today I tried the general sales chicken and that was equally as good. My girlfriend tried the Kung pow chicken, and the shrimp Kung pow as she shared both dishes with me. I will agree. Both of those are extremely good as well. The hot and sour soup is really good too. All dishes come served with White rice.The customer service top-notch as well. The food comes out in a timely manner, and all the waiters and waitresses here are very friendly. Keep it up guys and gals will continue to come here for lunch as far as I can tell because we really like this place.

Lots of raving over the pepper twins I finally got to stop by here maybe I stopped at the wrong location. The food was standard, nothing over the top.General tso tofu - the sauce didn't really do anything for me it didn't drive me nuts or make my mouth water or make me want to eat more it was just a sauce it didn't have very much cake was a little bit bland and the tofu was a little bit tough so I wasn't super impressed. Walnut Shrimp - a tablet greasy for me again the sauce feel flat it wasn't sweet it wasn't sour it wasn't tangy it just was there was nothing spectacular about it the shrimp or a very nice size but overall I really wasn't super satisfied with the food.I've had much better at other places. Search for best Chinese food before you check out this place. I really wanted to like it and I was really hyping it up on the way over there but they just did not provide.The service was nice the food came out quickly.

First off, they give you one of those red circular bins of white rice. And they fill it up most of the way. And it's free. And you can refill. That in itself, is almost worth a 5 stars. Not many places do that anymore, so it was nice to have enough rice to eat your heart out.They have ample seating, and it has a modern-Asian feel to the store. Waiters are quick, kind, and get to the point, like most Asian restaurants. Ordered the Sauteed Lamb with Cumin, and although it was slightly pricey (around 18 for 1 item), it is enough to share with 2 people! Especially since rice is unlimited haha. The dish is mostly lamb, with some onion, green onion. Not any spicy peppers that are basically inedible, which is great. The lamb was slightly crispy, with a great crunch while maintaining a juicy inside. Definitely recommend it!

Love this place for AUTHENTIC Chinese Food. This is the real stuff just like I would eat in Beijing. It's not your typical American Chinese food. My go-to here is the Cumin Lamb and the Green Beans. They never disappoint. Tonight we also ordered the Gyoza and Xiao Long Bao. The Gyoza were OK. The Xiao Long Bao were delicious. Be very careful removing them from the steamer. They tend to stick to the paper and rip open. Then you lose the soup. When you peel them away roll it into the spoon so you can save the soup. I really can't express how much I love this place when I am craving the flavors I had when I lived in Beijing. One day I'll expand and order other things, but for now I'll stick to my favorites. Service is good, and food is prepared and delivered fast. The inside is a big dining room with lantern style lamp shades. There are some cool large wooden horses by the front. Really cool design!

We came for lunch on a Friday afternoon. The beef fried rice was good and interior spacious. Highly recommend their lunch special!

Our family are regulars at this delicious Sichuan restaurant. It's one of our favorite cuisines and out of all the Sichuan places we visited, Pepper Twins at Kirby delivers quality dishes with remarkable consistency. Everything was fantastic, but I especially recommend their Egg Yolk Eggplant and Tofu Beef stir fry. The restaurant was so sweet to offer my mom a mimosa on Mother's Day too.

I don't have any pictures of the meal to post and I am deeply sorry for that because the visual presentation was stellar. The portions are big enough to share. I was on a business lunch so I refrained from taking pictures of my order which was the salt/ pepper shrimp w/ steamed rice and the Dry fried green beans. Both were absolute perfection. I was so taken by the freshness and flavor that I could not help myself and placed an order to go- salt/ pepper tofu. I will be running back to this place. They have several locations, but the location on Kirby is the place to go. I went during the week during lunch so it was moderately crowded. The service was on point. The server was a man of few words, but who needs conversation when the food speaks for itself. Show some love to this location. I know I am!!!!

Really had to update since the previous review.The service: 3/5, pretty mehThe bathroom: 1/5 borderline not cleanThe interior: 2/5, the floor is very dirty and we moved a table to fit someone sitting down; the floor was very nasty and it didn't look like there has been a cleaning in years.The food: 4/5, this is still the best Pepper Twins location in terms of flavor. The other locations don't even come close.Overall, would recommend for takeout and not much else.

One of the best Chinese restaurants in town. Their vegetarian options are quite a few but I have my favorites and don't mind eating the same food over and over again, it is that tasty. Service is prompt and friendly.We got the chou mein, the dry- fried beans, and vegetable spring roll. The beans comes with rice. All hot and yummy. The beans is one of their specialty items. We requested for the chou mein with no egg, or, egg on the side. They won't do the egg on the side but they did take it off. With prices on the higher range, I did not see many customers on a Friday evening, so that way its good even for a date night.

This place is a classic. We order from here every other week. The take out is on point. That being said, you can order the same dish every so often the dish will come out different.For instance, I order the eggs and tomato and sometimes there is more tomato than egg. Sometimes the mapo tofu is spicy, sometimes not.I feel like you get more when you do take out but their menu inside is more expansive.Pretty empty inside usually but the food is always fast.Even if the food can differ, it is always good. They have high chairs and it is easy to bring a baby/stroller.Baby friendly: 5/5Service:5/5Food: 4.5/5
