Brieghenne H.

Wow ok so I chose this restaurant because they had such a high rating, but I wasn't pleased at all chicken teriyaki was fried or something my egg roll was burnt and greasy food was not good service was nice

The food is amazing and super fast we go for the crab raggoons . The best ones out of all the the other places I've tried around here

Sesame tofu is crispy and delicious!

Peter Chang - 13. Basil Eggplant in Clay Pot Lunch Special

On Monday, the 26th - our last day of our October, 2026 trip to Williamsburg, Virginia - the family…read moregrabbed lunch at Peter Chang before dropping Mom and me off at the Richmond International Airport. Peter Chang is a spacious sit-down restaurant showcasing authentic Sichuan (alternatively romanticized as Szechwan) and regional Chinese cuisine. It is helmed by the highly awarded master chef Peter Chang, whose mysterious kitchen-hopping history has earned him a world-class reputation and a massive cult following. The capacious facility includes a free dedicated parking lot and multiple commodious dining rooms able to accommodate sizable parties and gatherings. A mix of booth seating and large round tables with chairs [ideal for shared family-style dining] are offered here where the interior décor is unpretentious and basic and the vibe is relaxed and deeply casual. We were a party of eight, walking in at 1:40 PM sans reservations. Only a couple of tables were occupied in the two front dining rooms, so we were seated without wait at a big round table with a lazy susan. The contrast between Peter Chang's modest, unassuming restaurant space and his fiery, unapologetic Szechuan cuisine almost delivers a "Trojan Horse" effect - the quiet, plain façade and simple interior act as a mask for the multidimensional, bold, world-class cooking. The menu includes traditional Chinese favourites alongside regional specialties, delivering a flavourful journey to guests. Below are what we ordered for lunch: Hot&Sour Soup ($3.50 per cup) - A comfortably rich and smooth soup with a well-balanced spicy-tangy flavour profile. Good, but not the best, according to Mel. Tofu with Mixed Vegetable Soup ($10 large bowl) - A light, comforting brothy soup that highlighted the natural flavours of the soft-to-firm cubes of tofu and fresh vegetables. Delish. Minced Chicken Lettuce Wrap ($12) - Everyone commented on the garlic and savoury soy/umami notes that shone through the refreshing crisp lettuce leaves. I wouldn't have minded a bit deeper boldness in the chicken, though. Lomein (Veg $14) - Wok-tossed to perfection, these soft egg noodles soaked up a gorgeous, deep soy glaze without being overly greasy and the vegetables stayed nicely crisp. Seriously simple yumminess. Shrimp w. Wood Ear Mushroom & Snow Peas ($23) - Plump shrimp tossed with crunchy, fresh snow peas and gelatinous, earthy wood-ear mushrooms made for a light, vibrant and healthy dish. Dry-Fried Green Beans ($16) - The skins of the green beans were beautifully wrinkled, charred, and slightly puckered, while keeping the inside vibrant, tender, and snappy. Stir-Fried Green Beans w.Eggplant ($16) - This vegetarian dish of blistered green beans and melt-in-your-mouth tender Chinese eggplant tossed in a savoury Sichuan garlic chili sauce stood out for its vibrant colour and perfect harmony of crisp and silky textures packed with rich, aromatic flavour. Steamed Soup pork Buns (8, $10) - These soup dumplings/xiaolongbao were resilient yet delicate and super succulent. Orange Chicken ($18) - YUM! The chicken pieces were golden-fried and crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside and coated in a sticky, aromatic citrus sauce that delivered a nice sweet-and-spicy punch of piquant zestiness. Sweet & Sticky Sesame Ball (8, $6) - Served perfectly golden and round, the sesame balls were deeply satisfying and chewy. Unfortunately, I didn't get to eat them fresh, so I missed out on the crispy outer layer, but they were still scrumptious. Egg Tart (Pastry Egg Custard, 3, $5) - The delectable pastries were incredibly light and buttery, and the silky-smooth, creamy egg custards had that dreamily soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture. It was the perfect sweet finish. Our waiter was helpful and friendly. Mom was so impressed by his calm and quick service that she gave him an additional $20 cash tip as we were leaving the restaurant. Thanks for the delightful lunch, Peter Chang! I would love to return when we're back in Williamsburg!

I enjoyed eating at Peter Chang. Not to be confused with PF Chang's (totally different places). The…read morerestaurant is no frills, straightforward service with a simple interior. It has a pretty unique selection of dishes not commonly offered in most Chinese takeout places. I consider their offerings more authentic. The serving sizes are huge and can be eaten family style with friends and family! There is a distinct aftertaste that is similar across the dishes we ordered. I'm assuming it's from the oil or base they use in their dishes. But it's not enough to deter me from trying their other food items! Will definitely be coming back! :)
