What our guests are saying
My girlfriend and I visited here for her birthday last week. We ordered the shredded pork with garlic sauce, chef special stir fried chicken, and sesame chicken. The service was quick and the food utterly delicious! We had plenty of time to sit and enjoy our meal, taking from each of the three dishes. Her favorite was the shredded pork and I loved the chef special stir fried chicken. We’d definitely go here again.

One of our favorite places where we have been several times. They offer various fish and shrimp dishes. Their shrimp fried rice and spicy fish filet are very good.

Peppercorns is my favorite Chinese food in Greater Lafayette. The service is fast, the staff friendly, and the food is top notch. We got the Chongqing Popcorn Chicken (spicy, salty fried chicken), Szechuan sauteed green beans (stupid good, a little spicy), and then something new on each trip. Can't recommend this place enough.
