So after our "adventure" at Cooking Girl a few weeks ago, my friends and I decided to try their new upscale restaurant called Pepper Twins, located on 1915 West Gray Street. The inside of this "country-style organic" restaurant is beautiful! The cuisine is from Chengdu (southwestern China's) Sichuan province style, which means lots and lots of flavor and spice!!! �
We asked the waiter for some recommendations, and chose what we thought were the best dishes. For our appetizer we chose the mountain city noodle (similar to dandan noodle), then we shared the miracle blue egg soup (thousand year old egg), soft square bacon with Berkshire Pork Belly, Pepper Twins fish slides soup, and Sweet and Sour eggplant with Berkshire Pork. In case you didn't know, Berkshire Pork is a premium, high quality pork and is naturally produced without nitrates or chemicals.
All the dishes are high quality! My favorite was the soft square bacon which absolutely melts in your mouth!!
Don't forget they are closed Mondays!! And also 10% off if paying in cash! �$
The best, most original organic Chinese food ever. The rice was the best I've ever had. Every dish was unique, tasty and superb. We all thought it was the best ever. Now to have something like this in Austin! I will go on every trip to Houston.
What’s not to love about this place? I haven’t been looking for a premium chinese place to eat and I finally found it... it is pepper twins. Just please tell them to tone down the use of the peppercorn... there are other ingredients there. Lunch deal is fantastic. I got the pepper twins chicken, two fried dumpling and white rice for less than $10. My husband also loves this place - the portion of food is fantastic. We had leftover for the next day. The service was great. The parking was not... I would not want to eat here on a busy day... finding a parking would not be fun. However, on a calm day, I would love to come here!
Fantastic food options.
The staff is great at helping with recommendations and pairings.
The "pepper twin" items are a must have regardless of how many times you visit.
Boiled fish, fried beans, and the list goes on
Not a great choice if you are a vegan.
Let me take a moment to talk about this place lol. This was my first time coming here recommend by my sister. We had a big group of loud Mexicans lol and the waiters we're very attentive. The food came out super fast and it was GLORIOUS. The food is so delicious and fresh I was AMAZED. So much flavor. The place was HOT and when we brought it to the attention of the waiter they quickly changed the temperature. We stayed there until close and they did not complain or make faced. They were awesome. Everything was great. They messed up on my card transaction and when I noticed the next day and I emailed them they quickly fixed it and refunded me the money. I will recommend this place to everyone and I will be coming back!!!!
Loved every dish I ordered!
Highly recommend their egg tomato veggie dish. Such a classic Chinese dish and Pepper Twins made it on point. So juicy, yet perfect egg taste.
The appetizer menu--beef tendon was alright. Not too special. But still good. It's a cold dish, but they bring rice almost simultaneously, so I enjoyed eating it together with the warm rice.
Malatang was alright. Could be better.
The portion in general is enough!
The chefs here are not only handsome,but the dishes are delicious.The waiter who greeted the smile adds even more joy to the New Year! Thank you for having such a delicious dish here!awesome!
If you like spicy, this a great place to go. The dan dan noodles are a great starter, and the twice cooked pork is bursting with flavor. The water cooked fish is different from what I've had in the past, but still really good; just make sure you're prepared for the mala spice!
Love the close knit feel of this restaurant, the atmosphere, employees are friendly and food is great. The pricing is on spot and we will be back no doubt. We ordered the fried chicken cubes, cumin beef, fried cod fish, bok choy, green beans and cold-cold waters...lol.
The lunch deal is incredible value and highly recommended. Got my first visit here I tried the Pepper Twins Chicken. A little too peppery for my taste but the flavor was good. The service was decent and everyone in my party seemed to enjoy their food. I would come back and eat here again.
Great place to have lunch with friends. Waiters and staff was attentive and courteous. One of my friends forgot an item there and they held it until we came back to pick it up.
The food is great and the portions are big to fill anybody. The parking is a bit tricky with how busy the place gets, especially in Montrose. Didn't have an issue with the location and there are lunch specials. Highly recommend it.
So different than the American Chinese food that offends cuisine in general. Quality, flavors, price, service, value can't be beat at Pepper Twins. We enjoy the vegetables the most, Then we go for the fried chicken, cumin beef, fried fish/shrimp.
