We came back for dinner after quite a while and the place was not very busy and we were seated immediately although food did take a good 20 minutes to arrive. The food was nice and piping hot, although the flavor and taste were bland as usual. read more

In the mood for some American Chinese dishes, we stopped in here for lunch. Plenty of parking in the strip mall parking lot, and ample seating inside. The service was very good- you order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. The firecracker chicken was exactly what I had in mind- a bit of heat, a little bit on the greasy side with a good helping of rice. The kids meals were a smaller portion of the regular dish with all the flavor. And I appreciated that the food was made to order. It was a solid lunch place and we will be back. read more

I came in here on a Saturday right at lunch hour. I would expect there to be a little bit of a crowd in the dining area, but I was the only customer. The food came out quick and was definitely hot. I had to wait for it to cool down a little. It tasted good and was an ok portion for the cost. The only issue was the "lettuce cups" was iceberg lettuce quartered. Not really what one would expect, nor did I want that. read more

Pei Wei Asian Kitchen - Thai Coconut Curry Chicken with "lettuce cups" aka iceberg lettuce - Asian Fusion Near Me - Dulles, Virginia

Chicken pad Thai is a winner, but I must say that the crispy lettuce wraps were disappointment. The last time I ordered them they were 99% water chestnuts with very little chicken making it a very expensive appetizer. They might as well not have eggrolls on the menu because they are not good and the dumplings are tiny and just OK. I think I'll be getting my pad Thai elsewhere from now on. ADDED: I followed the advice in the response and sent the same review to corporate. The response was 2 $10 vouchers. read more

i felt conflicted about writing this review. i've been going to pei wei since way back in 2007, when they first opened in reston. they had a really really unique way of cooking tofu and it was so incredibly delicious. the sauces had great flavor and spice and i was consistently impressed. i usually got either the pei wei spicy or kung pao. my friends and i went all the time, all throughout high school-- we were truly their biggest fan. the ambiance is nice too, cozy and dimly lit, and pretty quick casual service. the one is reston closed back in 2019, and i can't even express how bummed i was. i decided to try it again YEARS later, and while the sauces are still pretty tasty, the tofu is such a disappointment. they've surrendered to how other places deep fry, except they don't even do it as well. the skin peels off and it makes for a consistency mess. pei wei, i'll always be a somewhat loyal fan, but god damnit bring back that slim sheet-like tofu. you really had something special going. read more

Food is Fresh and amazing service, is on point, thanks for a great experience I definitely going to come back.

It was a cold evening. We arrived around 7:15pm. There is a large display menu of dishes with pictures and descriptions, so we can have good expectations on what we are going to get. We said to have dinner in their dining area, the staff said they will close soon, so only for to-go. Our orders were quickly done within ten minutes. The Thai Coconut Curry Chicken on brown rice was in averaging flavor. The Spicy Drunken Noodles were difficult to roll up using the plastic fork. The Kid's House Special Chicken was simply chicken and pineapple in sauce on top of brown rice. We sat outside the restaurant, and finished our dishes at around 7:45pm wearing our winter coats in cold weather. When we walked passed the restaurant, they were still open! We could not understand why they did not let us dine in! read more

Got to go. Food was fresh and delicious. Would order there again. Had the coconut curry chicken, Mongolian beef and pad Thai. All were good as fast food, but not as authentic as going to a Chinese or Thai restaurant. read more

Place has significantly gone downhill. It's a crime to eat here, especially now, given all the non-chain amazing Asian restaurants in the area. But I was nearby and convenience won the day. I very much regretted it. The kung pao shrimp had almost no veggies in it, about two pea pods and about five very thinly sliced pieces of carrot, and maybe 5-6 small shrimp. 90% of the bowl was just rice with a tiny bit of sauce. There was nothing "kung pao" about this dish, it had almost no spice, and even after adding two of the chili paste packets they gave me, it was barely flavored. Worst still, I'm someone who almost never gets indigestion no matter what I eat, but I had horrible heartburn for about three hours after eating here. Never again! read more

Read some of the reviews and really felt compelled to write mine since the last one was 7 months ago. I've never been to Pei Wei, so i don't know what to expect. I usually go to small mom and pop restaurants. But this exceeded my expectations, given some of the negative reviews, and that this is a chain restaurant. Came in for lunch on a Tuesday, and the dining area is clean and spacious. Carlos, my host, was pleasant, charismatic, and attentive. I ordered Mongolian Beef, a spring roll, and a soda. Eight minutes later, Carlos brought my meal to the table. The food was fresh, hot, and tasty. If I could only give one critique, it would be that the sauce had a little too much sodium. But this is a personal preference, and i do not use a lot of salt. Other than that, this was really good. Carlos even took my plate from my table, even after saying he did not have to. Carlos replied, "Not a worry, sir, my pleasure," as he took away my dishes. I would definitely bring my family in here if in this area or would come back if it was just me. Hats off to Carlos. This guy is working the dining area. Cleaning tables, interacting with guests, the staff, filling napkins, utensils, etc. He must lose 5 pounds a shift as much as he's moving around. He is a testament to working hard in a tough industry, where so few want to work. Great job, Carlos, and thank you for making this a great experience. read more

A solid 4.5 stars. Tara Thai in Lexington Virginia set the bar very high for all Asian restaurants. PeiWei's Firecracker Tofu & veggies is an excellent choice. The tofu was crispy, juicy and flavorful. The veggies were fresh and the fried rice was ok. The side chili sauce was an excellent additional choice to my meal. What would've made this review better is more scallions, fresher veggies (so they snap when you bite them). This is a very good Chinese American restaurant. Head and shoulders above Panda Express. read more

My office provides us with lunches from local restaurants in the area. And Im super grateful but this place was not my favorite. The food had little to no seasoning. My rice was dry and clumped together and the shrimp was soggy. This establishment won't get any of my coins. read more

I wanted something quick & easy before heading back to the MD side. The extremely friendly & helpful staff were all hands on deck. Especially if you're a first timer as you will get all the necessary 411 on the ordering process. A fast casual Asian restaurant where you build your meal from Rice Bowls, Bento Boxes, Noodles ( four different types), Salad Bowls, Sushi, Small Plates with a few Cauliflower & Gluten Free options. All orders are made on the spot with dietary preferences closely being adhered to. I get excited when I get the Vegan General Tso Tofu prepared to my liking with just the right crispiness, spiciness & sauces. It was a heaping plate of flavorful & delightful goodness giving me more than enough for later. I ordered a glass of wine & the employee came out to apologize for the wait, as she stated there weren't any clean wine glasses at the moment & went to wash one herself...thank you again. A Veggie Spring Roll, an enormous plate of tasty GS Tofu & a nice pour of Cabernet came to $16.00. That & the great customer service was worthy all around. I wonder if there are any plans to open locations in DC & Maryland. To note, their parent company is P. F. Chang's Bistro. read more

I love their service. It comes very quickly! They also have a good amount of items on the menu.

+You can customize the level of spiciness, for each entree. +They use real woks to cook your made to order food. +They have a loyalty rewards program. -The flavors can be a little off compared to most typical western Chinese restaurants in the DMV region. However, they do indicate they're an Asian fusion establishment. I got the Kung Pao Beef and it was pretty okay! Will probably skip the 'very spicy' customization, next time. read more

Pei Wei is one of my go-to for a quick and delicious Asian fix! Whether it's the zesty hot and sour soup or the comforting wonton soup, they nail it every time. The speedy service and spotless restaurant add to the cool vibe. Pei Wei - where fast meets fantastic! read more

Whenever I have a job down here in Sterling Pei Wei is my go to lunch spot. Great pricing and the food is ALWAYS great and piping hot. I've almost tried every dish and everytime I am super satisfied. The last two weeks alone I've gone 9/10 days for lunch! Great and friendly staff and whenever I need something I'm served with a smile! 11/10 one of my favorite places to visit. read more

Absolutely love this place. It's my favorite fast-service Asian restaurant. I make sure to stop in at least once (if not multiple times) any time I'm in a city that has a Pei Wei. It doesn't get much better than their Mongolian Steak or their Dan Dan Noodles. read more

Gluten free options is what's keeping me a loyal customer. There GF menu has a wide variety of dishes. When ordering via a door to door delivery company, one can personalize the ingredients for the entree selected (I.e., no onions.) Restaurant is not cozy. Seems too dark and sterile looking. read more

dark and i inviting food was not good and the attitude of the order taker was sour. skip it and go to panda express

Upon exiting the restaurant the door swung back knocked my food out of my hand and spilt my drink all over my shirt. I went back to tell someone and they couldn't be bothered. I now have no food and a wet shirt. What I did get to eat was good, but nothing really to write home about. The could have least replaced my dinner. read more

Average tasting food. I ordered a shrimp dish and it was honestly not very good. The brown rice that it came with had a lot of dark spots (most likely brown rice that had gone bad). read more

Shot out the lady at the front on 12/15/2020 with the really cool haircut! I don't know her name, but I remember her cool cut! She was friendly and helped with the menu. I ordered the Mongolian Beef and she offered some suggestions. The food was really good! Just a tad salty, but still edible and delicious. Good help is hard to find these days, so I appreciate when people offer superb customer skills. She brought my food out to me, instead of just tossing it on the counter. Just a nice vibe she gave and was super cheery, I will for sure be back to this location. Nice large portions for that dish and if you like mushrooms, you love it! They place was very clean and everything went smooth as butter baby! read more

The service alone was wonderful!! Today I l drove from Columbia Md to come because of Malcolm Pei Wei in Dulles I got my food quick and with no issues. Right before I was leaving the Malcolm the manager pulled one of his teammates aside to correct him on something and that team member starting yelling and cursing at the manager. The Malcolm keep asking him to stop and listen so he can understand then in that same situation the young man claim the manager told him to grab the little boy. Which I witnessed the manager did no suck thing. He just asked him to ask the customer what they needed help with. Malcolm's handle that like a pro but he needs help he looks drained. read more

I love this place. I have some unusual food allergies and the ability to custom order dishes at Pei Wei on UberEats is just such a joy! I have no worries about eating and can enjoy a cuisine I often have to miss out on! Not to mention - the food is always delicious! read more

My Husband and I went in for dinner. we customized our order to eliminate certain ingredients. Upon pick up Malcolm realized that the order was incorrect and immediately got a replacement order working for us. No questions or hassle. I appreciate him taking the extra steps to confirm our order and make the necessary corrections without being asked. Kudos to Malcolm! read more

No flavor. I would not recommend this place. I got an egg roll, firecracker chicken, and the donuts and they were all subpar.

It's been YEARS since I've been to Pei Wei, maybe even a decade. I never usually crave Chinese Food, and when I do, I prefer the kind where everyone that works there speaks very little English. With that said, I was meeting a friend for lunch who suggested Pei Wei because it would be quick and easy. And surprisingly, it was. They have quite a different (and diverse) menu from what I remember. They have sushi now? and Poke? Ok, I'm here for it. My friend and I both ordered the Spicy Polynesian Poke Bowl and my friend ordered a 4 piece Spicy Tuna Roll. I doubt they have a Japanese sushi chef on deck waiting for the sushi orders, so the sushi wasn't exactly pretty, but it was pretty good. Our poke bowls were a decent size, although that may have been because there are a lot of ingredients in it: spicy tuna, California roll, ahi poke, avocado, pickled ginger, crispy shallow, sliced cucumbers, chili sauce, rice, and some cilantro. None of the fun add-ins that I like in a more authentic Poke - furikake, or maybe some roe, but good nonetheless. Poke really needs to have the freshest ingredients in order for it to work, and I am happy to report that everything in my bowl was. The fish was also fresh which was definitely the main concern. No, it wasn't the best poke I've ever had, but it was good. Yes, I was starving an hour later, but that's what I get for not going the sesame chicken and rice route. Overall a better than expected experience. Quite a few people behind the counter and in the kitchen and very few people in the dining area so maybe cleaner tables would have been preferred. read more

My girlfriend and her whole family, got food poisoning eight years ago on Christmas Eve from this place. Thought it should be known.

The place looks dark.. tables aren't cleaned, floor has crumpled napkins and wet drips all over. The young kids in the front and kitchen just shooting the breeze. Would have liked a friendly smile and asked what I'd like to order- instead I got a dead eye glance and a "what did you want?" The food is alright. To me it would have tasted better if it was clean and inviting. read more

And the 200th review goes to --- Pei Wei. Yes, I know---how anticlimactic but it is what it is... After our disastrous experience at the Herndon Pei Wei, we were given gift certificates. Since we don't plan to ever return to the Herndon location, this one was the next closest. We got here around 5:30 p.m. on a Sunday night and encountered a line to order our food. With the gift certificates, dinner ended up costing us $3.47 out of pocket, so can't complain about that! We disliked this Pei Wei for entirely different reasons. First of all, the acoustics are terrible thus making for a very loud dining experience. I don't know why they bother piping in music since no one can hear it. Also, the tables are a bit too tightly packed in the place. As for the food---typical Pei Wei food which is to say *meh*. We both got the teriyaki bowls with vegetables and tofu, which had way too much rice in them and not enough veggies. As for the flavor---not bad but nothing to write home about either. As to whether or not we'll return---with bad acoustics and *meh* food---it's highly unlikely. read more

This place has really gone downhill! Food was meh. We asked for bowls to share our soup, they gave us another soup container. All plastic ware, no real plates or silverware. It's also very empty feeling. Maybe they're are getting ready to close?? read more

I don't know what has happened to this place. It used to have decent food. My go to is dan dan noodles and hot and sour soup. They no longer have the soup and the noodles had barely any sauce on them and looked anemic. I ordered a side of extra sauce and I got a super small portion maybe 2 tablespoons and paid extra for that. They use to give a much larger portion. Needless to say I will not be back. read more
