The fried rice was good but they gave me chicken that was REALLY UNDERDONE! Then when I asked for them to make me a new bowl, the guy had an attitude. Ugh. Not happy. I don't intend on returning.

My mean at Pei Wei was out of this world. They have a large selection of food. My personal favorite meal is the chicken orange peel. You can get the Orange peel with steak also. I love this restaurant because Asian food is my all time favorite food in the world. I can't wait to go their again. Overall the food was fabulous. If you love Asian food I would prefer to go to Pei Wei.

I'm a fan of the Pei Wei and I look forward to visiting when I am in town. I've been to Pei Wei in Arizona, Tennessee, and a few other places. Pei Wei is the deliciousness of PF Changs with a faster, more relaxed atmosphere. Pei Wei chains don't reach up into NY and I'm probably lucky for that. I'm sure I'd be floored by the calorie content that would be posted on the menu boards in the restaurant, as is done with all chain restaurants in NY. I typically have the lettuce wraps and the Kung Pao Chicken but this time I had the Thai Dynamite Chicken and lettuce wraps. Everything was tasty and delivered to the table quickly. We just beat the lunch rush so we were lucky to get a table and drinks before people were hovering to try to push us out of our nest. This location has taken a beating. They are in desperate need of new tables (they are worn, with scratches, scuffs, and etched love notes) as well as plates and glasses. Everything looks beat down and tired.

This place is kinda cool. Nice little fast casual place with fresh food. No servers, but they have food runners and leave the soda fountain to you. Its a very clean restaurant and is generally pretty busy. I had the korean barbecue and it was very bold and flavorful. Nice tender meat and it was complimented with white rice. We started things off with the crab Rangoon which was also very good. It was deep fried to perfecrion and they were very generous with the filling. It was served with sweet chili sauce, which is good on everything! Although a little pricy for your normal chinese takeout, it was well worth it. Definitely above an average chinese place! It makes a great lunch break or special little treat to take the family on. I cant complain at all!

Sorry peeps, I'm not a fan. I would not say this place is anywhere close to the quality of PF Chang's. I had the Vegetable & Tofu Mandarin Kung Pao dish with brown rice. The tofu was pretty miserable. It's difficult to determine how the tofu was prepared...it's seared? smoked? fried? Basically, it had the consistency of a dried out piece of bologna. Yuck to the max. The broccoli in my dish had an odd taste as well. And there was hardly any sauce...although the sauce was "meh" at best anyway, not like I was missing much. We also had an order of the crab wontons which were actually really good. I was expecting the typical crab-flavored cream cheese filling, but delightfully the wontons are more crab meat than cream cheese, and are light and flavorful. But, meals are not built on crab wonton alone! The prices are OK and it's quick getting your food, but really it tastes microwaved (despite having an open kitchen where you can see the cooks preparing your food amidst open flame and flailing woks) and odd. Don't think I'll be coming back, unless it's for crab wonton to go.

I'm a HUGE Pei Wei fan!! The food is great and its always done quickly. You can really mix and match alot of the different meals to suit your preferences. Another great perk is you can actually order online and when you do, for your first order you get 25% off which turned out to be a sweet deal! I just wish it wasn't so far from my house!

The family chose Pei Wei for dinner tonight (10/15/2008) and it was a fantastic choice. Pei Wei is the "quick serve" sibling of P.F. Chang's. Chang's seems to be test marketing (although they have more stores than one would have in a test market phase) the idea of getting their type of Asian Fusion food but in a fast food sort of way. If you've been to places like GoRoma you'll get the set-up. You order at a counter and then you're given a number and you can grab your table and your drinks. Then your food is brought out to you by a server. You skip the waiter/waitress sort of business model but you get some really tasty food. Mom got Mongolian Chicken and MK the Mongolian Beef. Both were pretty good and come with your choice of white or brown steamed rice. I opted for the Orange Peel Beef which had a little kick to it but nothing to be concerned about if you don't like spicy. Dad got the Sweet and Sour Chicken which was the only order at the table that had the chicken breaded. He said it had just the right amount of breading. We also had some appetizers: the Chicken Lettuce Wraps which is a PF Chang's signature item and an order of Crab Wontons. The only bad thing with this style of dining is that they just crank out the orders and so we had only just STARTED our starters when the main courses showed up. There's just no ability to pace the meal and that's what you miss by not having a waiter. But all-in-all, the ability to refill your own drink and enjoy top quality Asian fusion type food for roughly $8.00 a head (not including drink and starters) is pretty darn good in these economic times.

Great service and tasty food. Been going about once a month since they opened. If you don't like your food let them know and they'll make you something else without question.

This place is very good. It's a fast food Asian chain, which is owned by PF Chang and shows it. We had edamame and spring rolls to start, and Thai pad noodles with chicken and ginger broccoli with chicken for the main course. Both very good dishes, although be warned that the Thai pad noodles are a bit spicy. I had a beer with dinner, but did taste my wife's chai iced tea, which was excellent. Wish they'd open some restaurants in the New York metropolitan area.

Tommy K.
This place was very good, and cheap! For 34 dollars 3 people at there with 2 appetizers. The quality of the food, in my opinion, was as good as PF Changs. I had lo mein chicken which was alright, mongolan kung pow beef which was very good, and pei wei spicy chicken which was the favorite of the table. As far appetizers we had crab wontons which I didn't like very much, and lettuce wraps which are the same as PF Changs.

Not kid friendly! We arrived, waited in line, and they refused to take our order. Despite numerous empty tables, they explained that they could not place any of the high chairs at the tables. I could not believe they could not take my order, and I could not each lunch with my two year old. I will not go back.

Awesome food. Crab Rangoon's are the beat ever. Veggies are a little rare for my taste but that's what they're going for. Always fresh. Place is not beat down, clean and well maintained. Have eaten here dozens of times. I like everything I've had and never been sick. Also food is consistent. Wish they were open past 9pm.

Megan B.
Another instance where I would like yelp to have a half star option, cause I'd actually give it 2.5. The girl taking out order was so kind and patient (ugh, teenage boys deciding what to eat) that I'm bumping the stars up to 3. I like that I can get fried rice with no egg, but food is bland. It's fresh, and looks clean though,but flavor is seriously lacking. Also the chicken in my chicken fried rice is pretty unappetizing. Oh well. I'd rather get real Chinese food, but not the most terrible thing I've eaten.

I made a walk-in to-go order here after playing golf at Golf world 76. I tried their new dishes: Hong Kong's BBQ style with beef and rice noodles and Lemongrass chicken with rice noodles salad and spent the rest of my evening, eating my Pei Wei meals at Stuart's Starbucks. :) The lady (will exclude description and name) at the cashier did not attentively take my orders properly. I specifically confirmed my response for rice noodles for all my meals instead of white or brown rice and she gave me brown rice with my HK BBQ beef even when she was the one that suggested I could have rice noodles instead of rice. The lemongrass chicken with rice noodles and mixed veggies was extremely delicious and every bite I took, it became more spicy than the previous bite but tolerable. The taste of lemon and lime were there and the thinly, well-cooked sliced pieces of chicken throughout the salad were moist and soft. There weren't really anything in the salad that was crunchy or too hard for my teeth to grind. The only downside was way too much vinegar and too greasy. The HK BBQ beef is definitely taste like a Cantonese dish and there was just something tangy in the BBQ sauce that didn't sit pleasant on my taste buds and not many Cantonese-style dishes do anyway (sorry, no offense!). Other than the awkward taste of the BBQ sauce, the beef was well cooked, soft and chewy. The vegetables were well cooked too and I ate all of those. I tried the brown rice which was disappointing; hard and crunchy (either overcooked or rice was not mixed well in the bowl before serving). Despite the minor disappointments I had this evening, I'm still a fan of Pei Wei food. Next time, I will definitely try the Lemongrass chicken rice noodles salad again and a different new/signature dish.

I ordered take out here after having bad experiences with other Chinese in stuart I went with pei wei because it's a chain .. I thought it was ok, very bland chicken fried rice it tasted like something frozen in the grocery store and there was literally 5 small pieces of chicken in the whole container. Maybe it would be better if it was eaten at the restaurant.
(3)
DK K.
I've experienced better at other Pei Wei restaurants! I usually order the pad thai here and it seems they have 5 different ways of making the same order. I can't figure it out. Plus, if you order online, which should be relatively fast or the same as calling it in, you have to wait another 5-10 minutes longer! Why go to the computer and order if it slows down the process???

Emily H.
YUM! A mini pf changs :) so delicious! Went on my lunch break and the place was full! Even parking was limited at the strip mall... I ended up with teriyaki chicken lunch, very good... Small plate of lettuce wraps ...awesome just like the ones from pf changs!

Jon M.
The service was quick for go out, but the food was bland, soft, and the tofu was "weird". I think that the owners of this chain should see how a real Chinese restaurant in Boston, New York, or San Fran does. But, I guess it is meant to be Chinese for the unwashed masses. lulz

The food used to be so good here. Had the crab wontons to start. They were cold in temp. Had the orange peel, the rice and pea pods were way under cooked. Talked to the manager and kitchen remade the dish but still wasn't good. This time the pea pods were grainy/stringy and rice was still a little under cooked. I'm done with this place.

Omg, loved loved this place, the format on how you order, the open kitchen where I can watch them cook, the modern decorating, and oh yes the food cooked to order. You walk in and pick from the simple menu, 4 types of sushi rolls, 4 or 5 appetizers, lettuce wraps, etc. To be price competitive when you order sushi you can order 4 or 8 piece rolls. Entrees can also be ordered in small or large portions, this really worked for me as I ate alone. When choosing you entree you pick the protein, chicken, steak, tofu, or veggie, then choose white, brown, or fried rice, then choose the sauce/dish of traditional Chinese cuisine. My food came out piping hot, the sushi was fresh and delicious, all for $12. Are you kidding me, I am definitely going back!

Tracy A.
I love the food here, and the smell is incredible while you wait for your food to be freshly prepared. I would have given 5 stars, but on crowded evenings, it's a bit noisy in there. They have a great gluten-free menu, too! Not just one or two things like most places.

Many people probably aren't familiar with Pei Wei, which is too bad because you're missing out! Pei Wei is owned by the same company who started P.F. Chang's and serves similar food but offers a more casual dining experience. While the menu isn't quite as broad as P.F. Chang's, Pei Wei still offers many of the popular items from the P.F. Chang's menu and they also feature lower prices and little wait time. When I first heard about Pei Wei, I must admit I was quite skeptical. When I think of quick service asian restaurants, I come up with images of places like Hibachi Express, Panda Express, and other mall restuarants serving their numerous versions of teriyaki chicken. However, after eating many times at a couple different locations, I'm happy to say Pei Wei is quite a few steps above any of those places in virtually every way. I haven't tried everything on the Pei Wei menu, but I do feel like I've tried enough of their menu to offer a reasonably informed opinion on the food they serve. As for appetizers, there are a couple different choices I would be happy to have every day of the week. I love their lettuce wraps with minced chicken as well as their crab wontons with duck sauce. The lettuce wraps are a popular menu item at P.F. Chang's, but at Pei Wei you can enjoy the same flavors without having to wait an hour to get a table and they are $1.50 less expensive! And the crab wontons are $3 cheaper! If I ever decide to skip the appetizers, it's not a big deal because there are plenty of great entree choices that offer large portions. The noodle bowls are excellent, and I especially enjoy the Chicken Pad Thai bowl and the Chicken Lo Mein bowl. You can pick from chicken, beef, shrimp, or vegetables to put in the different bowls, but I usually prefer chicken as my meat of choice in Asian cuisine. The amount of food offered in the bowls is plenty for two people to share, or a good choice if you want to take home leftovers for another couple meals. Not bad when two people can share a meal for about $8. Pei Wei also features a section on the menu called "Signature Dishes," which I'm guessing are the popular entree items offered at P.F. Chang's. These dishes offer a good combination of thai, chinese, japanese, and korean cuisine, along with a good mix of spicy and mild variety. I've tried the Honey Seared Chicken and the Mongolian Beef and enjoyed both. These dishes come with either brown or white rice and the concept is similar to P.F. Chang's in that they are big enough for one person or you could order a few dishes with a group and share all of them. When I look for a good restaurant, I want to find a place where I enjoy the food and I feel like I'm getting what I pay for. While P.F. Chang's is a restaurant I love to eat at, it's a place that is normally in my budget. If my wife and I go to P.F. Chang's, we can get a great meal but it'll probably cost us about $30. When we go to Pei Wei, we can get a great meal with similar food and it'll cost us half the amount. Pei Wei is a place where I love the food, love the convenience, and love the value.

Love the food. For a P.F. Chang fast food style restaurant it's hard to beat. The Chicken Lettuce Wraps are fantastic. I try something different every time we go; we don't go enough. Pei Wei is a trip from the house since we live in north PSL. I definitely recommend stopping in and trying them out if you get a chance.

Great version of P F Changs. Try the 'yellow curry' with shrimp, then add the hot sauce and you have a splendid dish. My other family members do not like the 'hot stuff' and find plenty of options to order.....enjoy

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

I love the food here, and the smell is incredible while you wait for your food to be freshly prepared. I would have given 5 stars, but on crowded evenings, it's a bit noisy in there. They have a great gluten-free menu, too! Not just one or two things like most places.

Many people probably aren't familiar with Pei Wei, which is too bad because you're missing out! Pei Wei is owned by the same company who started P.F. Chang's and serves similar food but offers a more casual dining experience. While the menu isn't quite as broad as P.F. Chang's, Pei Wei still offers many of the popular items from the P.F. Chang's menu and they also feature lower prices and little wait time. When I first heard about Pei Wei, I must admit I was quite skeptical. When I think of quick service asian restaurants, I come up with images of places like Hibachi Express, Panda Express, and other mall restuarants serving their numerous versions of teriyaki chicken. However, after eating many times at a couple different locations, I'm happy to say Pei Wei is quite a few steps above any of those places in virtually every way. I haven't tried everything on the Pei Wei menu, but I do feel like I've tried enough of their menu to offer a reasonably informed opinion on the food they serve. As for appetizers, there are a couple different choices I would be happy to have every day of the week. I love their lettuce wraps with minced chicken as well as their crab wontons with duck sauce. The lettuce wraps are a popular menu item at P.F. Chang's, but at Pei Wei you can enjoy the same flavors without having to wait an hour to get a table and they are $1.50 less expensive! And the crab wontons are $3 cheaper! If I ever decide to skip the appetizers, it's not a big deal because there are plenty of great entree choices that offer large portions. The noodle bowls are excellent, and I especially enjoy the Chicken Pad Thai bowl and the Chicken Lo Mein bowl. You can pick from chicken, beef, shrimp, or vegetables to put in the different bowls, but I usually prefer chicken as my meat of choice in Asian cuisine. The amount of food offered in the bowls is plenty for two people to share, or a good choice if you want to take home leftovers for another couple meals. Not bad when two people can share a meal for about $8. Pei Wei also features a section on the menu called "Signature Dishes," which I'm guessing are the popular entree items offered at P.F. Chang's. These dishes offer a good combination of thai, chinese, japanese, and korean cuisine, along with a good mix of spicy and mild variety. I've tried the Honey Seared Chicken and the Mongolian Beef and enjoyed both. These dishes come with either brown or white rice and the concept is similar to P.F. Chang's in that they are big enough for one person or you could order a few dishes with a group and share all of them. When I look for a good restaurant, I want to find a place where I enjoy the food and I feel like I'm getting what I pay for. While P.F. Chang's is a restaurant I love to eat at, it's a place that is normally in my budget. If my wife and I go to P.F. Chang's, we can get a great meal but it'll probably cost us about $30. When we go to Pei Wei, we can get a great meal with similar food and it'll cost us half the amount. Pei Wei is a place where I love the food, love the convenience, and love the value.

Love the food. For a P.F. Chang fast food style restaurant it's hard to beat. The Chicken Lettuce Wraps are fantastic. I try something different every time we go; we don't go enough. Pei Wei is a trip from the house since we live in north PSL. I definitely recommend stopping in and trying them out if you get a chance.

Great version of P F Changs. Try the 'yellow curry' with shrimp, then add the hot sauce and you have a splendid dish. My other family members do not like the 'hot stuff' and find plenty of options to order.....enjoy
