Red Pepper Restaurant in St. John's

good service and delicious food! I love that you can build your own stir fry!

Delicious made to order food. The server was great and very helpful. It was a small bit on the expensive side for just a bowl of food being around $15 but it was still very good. Outdated interior with uncomfortable chairs.

Food and customer service was excellent.Highly recommended.

Just fantastic overall, great food and friendly service. Food was served in record time and enjoyed the vast array of options.We will be coming back again :)

Really Good food and always friendly service and good bang for your buck

This restaurant was my go too place when in St John s. Returned for the first time today since Covid and the buffet is gone. Very disappointing. Won t be returning.

This was great.. catch up with an old friend over good food!

First time trying mongolian food, and it was absolutely amazing. Our family loved the concept and had memories of eating there back in the late nineties. Would definitely recommend to anyone, a different concept to dining and 100% a bang for you buck. Service was also amazing and very helpful in explaining the menu!

Good food, amazing staff and fair prices for the portion size. Definitely a repeat customer.

Always enjoy the red pepper. Been going since I was young and never had a bad experience. The staff are so nice and the food is consistently good. Prices are also very fair in a time when everything is getting expensive.

Since they changed everything after covid it s no longer as good as it once was .was my favourite restaurant hands down now I don t think it s still worth the cost .. :(

Fantastic food ,great staff, good value, cant say enough good things about my experience .

Red Pepper used to be a cherished spot for me, a favorite since my younger days. But sadly, this specific branch has taken a turn for the worse. Instead of the familiar buffet setup, they now charge by the weight of your dish. Plus, you cant select your own ingredients anymore; youre given a checklist, and the staff handle it. While some might be okay with this, its not the Red Pepper Ive always adored. Thankfully, it seems the Hamlyn Rd. location hasnt headed down this path, earning a better rating from me.

Amazing Mongolian stir fry. You are able to choose the weight of the total meal which will dictate price. Can choose as many meats, and vegetables. A great variety to make a wonderful meal. I recommend choosing the Udon Noodles, very thick and tasty.

Perfect spot for great food, relaxing atmosphere and good service.

My favourite restaurant! Great service and food is amazing. Love that hot Mongolian

Regularly eat here, wonderful food always and great staff! Worth your while 110%, very reasonably priced!

They dont have the All U Can Eat Buffet anymore, but the food is still as delicious as always. Highly recommend for a healthy meal.

Delicious meal and friendly staff!

Good food

When I travel to Newfoundland, this place is a MUST on my list. Healthy and tasty. You havent lived until youve had their hot mongolian sauce, Hands down, my favourite place to eat on the Avalon Peninsula.

Always great tasting!

Absolutely disgusting Immediately within hour felt sick and am sick now from this. Beware !!! The bathrooms and the air-conditioning and the HVAC system never been cleaned it is absolutely horrendous the water tastes bad but they serve you it anyways food was off .. something made me and person there with both of us sick

Great food and reasonable price. Has to wait almost an hour to get our food because theres a big group ahead of us and theres only one person cooking in the back.

Food is always Top Notch, and the service is the same. They have a new system of ordering. Works great. Clean eating.

Really enjoy this place since the change from buffet. I liked the buffet too but it seems much easier now. You fill out a simple order slip and your order is delivered a short time later with everything promotioned well. I always found with a buffet i had a hard time judging how much of each item to add and would end up with too much on my plate.

I picked up an order here and it was treated well

Great food, very nice staff

Very nice. Great host very polite!

Excellent staff! Had a great time :)

First time here, but i loved the meal. Very good portion, the Mongolian sauce is a must have and food was ready fast. Will be eating here again and again

Always enjoy a meal here. The staff is always courteous and fast. Unfortunately due to the pandemic all you can eat is no longer an option however the portion size of a 2lb plate can fill anyone. All their options are the delicious and just have to fill out a sheet provided to you when you get seated for what you want in your meal. If you havent eaten here yet I strongly suggest trying it out. I prefer the noodles as a base but they also offer rice. And 3 proteins to pick from but you dont have to pick them if you dont want them.

This used to be my favourite place to eat. The all-you-can-eat was the main reason to go. The food is pretty good, but its not worth the price anymore since its pay-per-plate now. The stir-fry I make at home is close enough to what I can get at Red Pepper, but now its a fraction of the price for the amount I want.

Consistent service and quality, usually not very busy too!!

I would definitely recommend it. Lets say for some reason u didnt get time to have your breakfast and lunch and looking for something filling thats tasty too and thats when u need to visit here. Imagine a pound of healthy food which can be made vegan too awesome right, thats wat this restaurant is about.

Always fresh and very tasty. Friendly staff too! Best stir fry you will find on the island, hands down!

Always great meal and now with the take out option and pay by the weight. Ive been going there since the early 2000 have never had a bad meal in the one near the avalon mall

Still as good as the first time I had it years ago

Fantastic food. Been going since I was 7

Red pepper is amazing. Always my go-to for birthdays, dates with my boyfriend, amazing. Even without the buffet, theyre a staple for takeout!

Reliably great stir-fry! COVID measures means that you order using a checklist as opposed to a buffet, but they still make the meal you want perfectly every time!

After going downhill since they got rid of the buffet, just not the same and not the same taste...

My favorite place to eat out. Healthy yet tasty

Going here for many years. Place is pretty run down but frankly the food is ok and pretty cheap. Its usually all you can eat prior to Covid19.

delicious. I loved how they set up the ordering sheet. a very nice and easy way to convert from a buffet.

Always perfect. I have yet to be disappointed by this restaurant.

A very pleasant experience. The food and service was excellent.

nice noodle buffe, have several source, different meat and vegetables, and nice noodle soup

Always great. Never disappointed.

Very tasty

One of my favorite restaurants! You can enjoy the buffet experience and justify the indulgence by loading up on fresh vegetables and lean protein.

Very underrated restaurant, to be honest. Its been here for years, and Ive been going there every since I was a kid. It is in a pretty inconvenient place, the price is a bit high, and the building could use some work, but its got good service and very tasty (and healthy, if you want) food.

A tad on the dingy side, the food is great and so is the service.

Nowhere better to eat.

Food is always good. Very consistent quality.

The buffet was very good and had a great selection and reasonably priced

Pretty good.

Love it BUT the location behind the mall is not to concerned with cleaning from the look of the place. Lol

Not as good as it used to be.sauces are watered down and tasteless.sad.loved this place

Whats not to like... Great food..

Good food!

Love this place! Been going for years and will continue to do so.

Fantastic restaurant. Its done like a buffet, where you pick what you want in your dish, they cook it, and then you choose the sauce you want on it. I love the food here and I recommend it highly. If youre questioning whether or not you should try this place out, try it, its worth a shot.

Fast service and great food

You gotta try this place if you havent yet! Me and all my friends always meet up here for birthday dinners and this tradition has been going on for years now! Authentic all you can eat Mongolian stir fry (literally called the grill of Genghis Khan) what more do you want!?

Always a great spot for some grub

Savagery

I love this place. You start at a buffet table and choose the ingredients to build your perfect stir fry basically. You then proceed to the grill with your plate of food and it gets cooked in front of you on a grill. You can choose what spices to add then have rice and Mongolian sauce added or whatever other sauce they have but I stick to mongolian. Depending on the chef on at the time your also served a little bit of spatula entertainment. Theres one guy there hes pretty good at it.

Buffet type stir fry good selection and quick service Awesome healthy alternative

Tasty but can be somewhat expensive for a buffet

Once off my favorite places to fill up!

Its ok. .. meah

Consistent and amazing food.

Hidden Gem off the path, right next to Kenmount road. Place offers all you can eat stir fry style dishes with your choice of protein from chicken, beef and pork with 3 types of noodles and a wide choice of vegetables. Everything is cook to order in front of your eyes by the chef, adding spices of your choice and topped with house made sauces liken sweet and sour, teriyaki, honey garlic or hot Mongolian. The staff are incredibly hospitable and prompt, we were welcomed and seated and our drinks showed up extremely quick. The chef was incredibly friendly and very professional, he made sure everything was fully cooked and properly steamed and handed out the food with a smile. Its surprising that this place isnt busier than it was, but that makes it great for a quiet family dinner or a casual gathering of friends. Price are fair at around $20 a person with all your portions made fresh to order. I usually go here every year for my birthday and will for many years to come.

I cant begin to tell you how much I love this place! First of all, its all you can eat! You walk into the place and get seated and order your drink. Then you head straight to the buffet. Grab a plate and fill it, make it a very high mountain of food as it will all shrink down to size in the next step! Next, you bring the food to the chef. Hell begin cooking everything you chose to put on your plate. I suggest more meat and veggies and less noodles. You can add rice to your meal and various sauces! I love the Mongolian sauce! Eat and enjoy!

Awesome food and friendly service!!

Food tastes good but cleanliness questionable.

Delicious, healthy and delicious

Definitely a unique experience, very do it yourself: you create a plate of vegetables, meat and noodles and then they cook it in front of you on the grill with your choice of sauce. While a different take on eating out, personally I dont think this makes for a great dining experience. Having to get up out of your seat to go and essentially create your own meal. I can see that some people would find this fun though. There isnt much service required, but the service we did get was pretty poor. As first timers, the whole experience was pretty confusing. There are no menus, or indication of price. Even when we went up to pay the waitress didnt tell us the price of our meal. We had to read it on the card machine and ask her how much the food cost - $19.

Could be cleaner. Healthy options though.

Healthy eating. Tasty food. Pricey but worth it. Buffet style-You pick up ur veggies and meat, they cook it on grill in front of you! Leaves no doubt of type of food handling, which is wonderful. Kind of ironic that the red pepper has no actual red peppers.

All you can eat and somewhat healthier option

This place is the bomb

Great tasting healthy food at a good price.

Excellent Foods

Decent Mongolian Grill. Meat was a little tough but their hot mongolian sauce was flavorful and delicious. Staff was friendly.

All you can eat for 21 Canadian bucks. Cooked in front of you. Very good food and clean place.

WARNING: This is NOT an all you can eat place despite it being advertised one. For an All you can eat place it had limited options, no desert, and drinks not included. Youre paying $15.00 a head for horrible, dry, frozen, overcooked food. I came here with my family to enjoy lunch. We had Mongolian grill across multiple cities in Canada so we knew it would suit our entire familys palettes. We walked in and were greeted by a nice person who seated us right away (not too hard considering there was only one other family there). The restaurant was poorly kept, stains all over. It felt like I was eating in a penitentiary. I immediately wanted to walk out, but stayed because several people had told my husband that, despite the look, it had great food. Also it had a very high 4.7 rating on Google. The waitress took our drink order and said that it was all you can eat. She then explained that when we were ready, we just grab plates, pick our ingredients, and the cook will fry it. The salad bar style display consisted of dry, wilted vegetables(onions, cabbage, purple cabbage, broccoli, celery, bean sprouts, etc); pineapples that looked like it had come from a can stored in a bunker from the cold war; frozen thinly sliced beef, chicken or pork; and the soup of the day - chicken noodle. There were no other options. It struck me as odd that nothing was kept in a cooling tray when it was obviously left out to be used all day. There was a choice of four sauces: Mongolian, Spicey Mongolian, teriyaki, and honey garlic. The food was fried without the sauce; sauce was served separately in a little bowl. The food was better suited for a dog with no taste buds and the soup looked and tasted like very, very oily canned soup. I got up to pay the bill which was over $100. This surprised me and I found out that drinks were separate. This is a joke of a restaurant. I will never. Ever. Go back.

Just average food. Nothing great about it. Some items doesnt feel fresh. The one in hamlyn road is better.

You might never find this place if you werent looking and the interior design is wanting, but there is friendly staff, and healthy all you can eat meals!

Great food, great experience. 10/10 would dine again.

Food good but looked a little dirty.

Delicious food.

The grill of Genghis Khan!

Overly expensive.

Peppers are green not Red.

I love this place

A long time favourite in St. Johns. Fresh veggies and meats cooked up right before your eyes. Delicious!

Good but too expensive

Love this place. A stir fry buffet that lets you be as healthy or unhealthy as you like. Price is good and usually not crowded.

Expensive if you only want one plate and lacks cleanliness, but the food is good especially if you have a large appetite.

We love this place....its one of the few restaurants that offer healthy eating. The stir fry is excellent, and the place is usually pretty empty, so u dont have to wait. The staff is always friendly. However, the soup they offer is not so good. Only once havevI eaten there when the vegetables didnt seem fresh.

The quality of food was average, but there was a good variety of veggies to choose from at the buffet. The staff was friendly.

Although this location could use a bit of a face lift its easy to tell how fresh the veggies are and how clean the place is. Very impressed with the service and vegetable options. Delicious.

I love this place. I see what is going in my meal. Some people complained as it may not be a bit fancy but its darn tasty.

Awesome!

LOVE this restaurant. My family has been coming here for years, to the same deliciously fresh, tasty food. The staff are all so friendly, and attentive without being pushy. If you like a good stir fry you have to give this place a shot!

By far, one of my favourite restaurants and one of the best Mongolian grills Ive been to. Simple, tasty food, affordable prices, and friendly staff. I eat here at least once a week when I visit home, and its become a goodbye dinner tradition at the end of those visits. Not fine dining, but highly recommended nonetheless.

I eat at the Pete St. location every week, religiously. I love it, best stir-fry Ive ever eaten. PS. Ask for the hot sauce if you like it spicy!

Great restaurant and friendly service. Amazing Stir Fry!
