Family meal
Tim C.

We love Pei Wei. Please put one in Brandon! This is one of our favorite fast casual restaurants. We do not live close but if we are near International mall we come here. Great food, great value! This time we decided to try the family meal for 4. We got a ton of food! 10 crab rangoons, 4 entrees and 10 Asian donuts. Extra if you want shrimp or steak otherwise everything else available to select for the entrees. We got 2 orange chicken and 2 firecracker chicken. Everything was freshly made as we waited. The orange chicken was very good. Made with real oranges with some slices mixed in. The firecracker chicken had just enough heat for us. We enjoyed both. The crab Rangoon were very good, nice and crispy with a good amount of filling. We were so stuffed we had to take the donuts home for dessert. They were very good and had a nice sweet sauce to dip in. Great value for 4 people. The service was friendly and quick. Inside was very clean with plenty of seating. This is your place for Asian food!

Tofu pad Thai
David K.

Limited very meaty menu, they do have tofu, but it's not featured at all. Tofu pad Thai was salty but fairly tasty. I would suggest to them to add the lime on top rather than bury it. Very good service. The place was clean and the bathroom was fine.

It's Hump day, and I'm not in the mood to cook, so the next best thing is takeout, and what better place than Pei Wei. I called in my order while en route from Downtown, which was less than a 15-20 minute drive. Talk about fast as my order was ready upon arrival. The restaurant was clean and quiet upon entry. I decided on the chicken lettuce wraps because they are healthy and just enough for late-night dinner. The lettuce wraps come second to none in comparison to PF Chang's, especially when considering the ingredients combined with the ground chicken of the shiitake mushrooms, scallions, water chestnuts, and garlic. All tossed in a savory soy sauce and served over a bed of crispy rice sticks with lettuce cups. Can you say Mmmmm good!! And what better way to end my meal than with a fortune cookie with good fortune of what's to come.

NEW House Special Steak: meh, soggy meat
Robin K.

I love coming here with my family and friends. We usually order their classic dishes so my mom recommended we try some of their newest creations. This particular evening, we did online ordering. We ordered Drunken noodles with chicken, Firecracker chicken, House special with steak and Kung Pao shrimp. Drunken noodles and Kung Pao shrimp were great. We didn't like house special steak with pineapple in a caramely sauce. They used to have different name for this dish before caramel chicken but this version wasn't very appetizing. Plus the steak got soggy under all the slaw. Firecracker chicken, while it was good.. i had gotten the wrong order. When we ordered, we asked for Firecracker chicken with side of greens instead got a salad. I spoke to the person in charge and he said I have to contact customer service. I even showed him a copy of my online order and he didn't do anything. I am taking points off for customer service I received. I understand it's not good time for restaurants now but at the same time, i wasn't given what i ordered. The problem could've easily been fixed but they chose not to help.

NEW Family Bundle
Brittany M.

What a fabulous meal this was my first time coming to Pei Wei and I am ready to go back! Stopped in after a failed reservation and when I walked in and saw a sign of Jet Tila on it I was ready to eat. We looked over the menu and realized we were pretty hungry and couldn't decide so Raven at the front register recommended that we do the family bundle and you get an extra side and Thai donuts for a great price so that's what we did with firecracker chicken with fried rice, a Thai coconut chicken with noodles and a extra side of noodles. We choose crab wontons for our app and got a couple drinks. The food came out hot and smelled so good! I started with the wontons which tasted amazing I wish they would have had a sweet chili sauce but they were still pretty good. The Thai coconut was really good a little spicy which is a good thing for me . They noodles were good too we ended getting some extra teriyaki for the noodles and rice which amped the flavor. After filling our tummy with all that food we barely had rooms for the donuts my husband & I ended up sharing one and dipping it into the sweetened condensed milk it's served with which was pretty good. This meal is great to have and not badly priced.

Haven't been to Pei Wei in a while and was hungry after shopping. This location is right in the same plaza as The Container Store so we stopped in for some take out. Wasn't busy at all. Walked right in looked over the menu and ordered. Staff was welcoming. Order out in 10 minutes! Wow. Ordered the General Tso's chicken extra spicy, the Firecracker chicken and the Mongolian beef. Ordered rice on the side and an order of cauliflower rice. I do have to say that I enjoy their cauliflower rice-- it doesn't have that awful cauliflower taste and it's not crunchy! Lunch was amazing! We ate so fast that I totally failed to take pictures lol. It was just that good.

I ended up giving 4 stars because a few details missed the mark. The air-fried fries were soggy and had an unusual flavor -- with air frying, food usually needs to be tossed periodically to cook evenly. The refresher was decent and tasted healthy, though it leaned a bit too citrus-bitter for my preference. The burger itself was very good, but I noticed a small hair on top (visible if you zoom in on the photo). I also saw some kitchen staff without beard nets, so that may have been the cause. Furthermore, I had requested the sauce on the side, but the bun and lettuce arrived heavily saturated. To their credit, the staff replaced the bun and lettuce right away, which I appreciated. Overall, while there were some positives, the experience was a bit disappointing.

The staff were friendly, but seemed a bit busy and sometimes were not always attentive to the table. Bright side - the size of the salad was huge.

I was not a fan of the fries as they were not crispy and nothing is worse than half soggy fries that are advertised as crisp.

DoorDash did receive my complaint and issued a refund for part of my order total. I ordered a Grande Bowl with moro rice, sweet potatoes, churrasco, green beans and cilantro dressing. The size was good, enough for a big dinner and a light lunch the next day. I was disappointed by the missing sweet potatoes, but everything else was pretty good, although a little salty with the cilantro sauce (I didnt use the sauce the next day, and I thought the saltiness was perfect). The portion of protein was very good. The green beans were crispy, not limp. The moro rice was not dry, which is always a concern.

I have the brown rice, grill sweet potatoes and congri rice as the base. The brown rice has beef added some flavor which is desirable to eat. The two vegetables are grilled broccoli and sautéed mushrooms. The two protein is double steak. Those are the best. The steak do have some tendon. The taste flavor is there and there are not too salty, the price is affordable and reasonable. I like the choice of the protein, veggies and base.

Bonus for those with gluten allergies -- nearly everything on their menu is gluten free, including the fries. Woohoo! We started with the grilled California artichoke hearts, which were tender and smoky. Excellent. My husband had the buttermilk fried chicken, which he said was absolutely delicious -- he was mad he couldn't finish it all, and kept picking!

For 15 minutes we were the only ones out there , then this elderly couple came and when they walked by us the elderly woman gave us a dirty look. Five minutes later another couple sat but further away from us. That woman seemed to be the only one with a problem. I should have asked the manager that if someone had complained about a screaming child( which usually is constant) would they have been asked to leave? I really like the food , and the service but we are contemplating whether to go there again because frankly we felt insulted! We only brought the dogs to begin with because my daughter is going on a trip and she is leaving the dogs with us. So we were exchanging them, and thought we would have lunch. The manager and the elderly couple ruined the experience for us. The manager told us that pets were not permitted but I checked in two different places , and pets are permitted on their patio. I feel they should either change their policy , or inform the manager as to what the policy is because she told us that pets were not allowed! Next time we will meet somewhere in St. Petersburg because that city is very pet friendly!

Really, I came for cake, but I stayed for...everything else. I got good vibes upon visiting here with my pup Muffin. The folks at the hostess stand were super welcoming and seated me right away. Very shortly I was greeted by my wonderful server Amber. She told me all about the restaurant which had me even more excited to come here for dinner. She also gave me great recs for drinks. Being that it was a SUPER HOT day I went for a non-alcoholic drink (because I barely drink) and Amber recommended Ruby Slippers, which is basically a strawberry basil lemonade. OMG SSSSOOO refreshing, and when I dumped my water into the glass to get more of the flavor it helped quench my thirst. For my appetizer, their fried green tomatoes. Generous portion, lightly breaded and crisp, practically a tempura. Came with a thick dipping sauce with dill that was rich and refreshing all the same. For my dinner I went with the steak salad. Normally I don't do salad for dinner unless I'm unimpressed with the menu, but that was not the case here, rather I just wanted to eat a little lighter. I thought the steak salad would be a great choice. What impressed me with it is that it wasn't overly large like salads tend to be at other places, and had a great variety of ingredients including shaved gruyere. My steak was cooked PERFECTLY (I went with medium rare). The portion size was PERFECT and I could see myself eating this on a normal lunch day. And of course, I've saved THE BEST for last. The major reason why I came. Their signature namesake dish. WHISKEY CAKE. I was pretty fully at the end of the dinner, so I got it to-go. Turns out, it was smart move so I could pair with coffee and really take my time enjoying it. This is some SERIOUS CAKE. Tastes like dreams and toffee with a little bit of a kick. Moist yet dense with a hearty toffee and molasses taste to it, it comes with a side of vanilla cream cheese drizzle that I poured over the toffee and pecan covered top. It was PEFFECTION. So glad to finally try Whiskey Cake, and I would definitely be back--even if it's only to get a cake to-go!

The hollandaise sauce had a nice little kick to it, but the crab was kind of "fishy" tasting, so I kind of drowned it in lemon juice and that made it better. The poached eggs were perfect. We both had the chili butter potatoes for our side, and they were SO crispy and delicious. We didn't save room for dessert, but wished we had - the signature whiskey cake looked delicious.

It felt comfortable, elevated, and easy to enjoy a full meal without feeling overwhelmed or rushed. Our server was training someone, but you couldn't even tell--it was so professional. One thing I noticed was how many people work there, and I really hope it stays that way. Each staff member had a specific role, and it made the entire service feel seamless. There was no rushing and no stress on the servers. You could tell they really enjoyed what they were doing. They also offer complimentary valet, and you can even Venmo a tip, which made arrival and departure super easy. At the end of our meal, someone even came to box up our food for us--we didn't have to do it ourselves. Very old school NY!!! Top-tier service. As for the food: the oysters we had were flavorful, and the garlic bread selection was soft and not overly heavy on the garlic. My friend ordered the scallops with risotto and crispy prosciutto, and I ordered the special chicken Parmesan with a side of spaghetti in a lemon sauce that they suggested. I was in the mood for a lemon-flavored pasta, and they absolutely delivered. Both plates were phenomenal. I wish they had a place like this in Orlando. I also wish the chicken parm would always be a special because that sauce was delicious. Growing up in Brooklyn, I've had some really good Italian food--and I would absolutely come back here. I'd give service five stars and food five stars. Thank you for a great meal--you did not disappoint.

The whole concept of the restaurant is very cute as well, all the decor wedding theme is just so cool and unique! Loved it. They also offer plenty parking space.

Finally tried Boda and I am a fan! The atmosphere is super casual, but their music playlist is all…read morethe atmosphere you really need! Our oldest son couldn't stop getting out of his chair and dancing! I ordered a delicious horchata drink and the three taco combo so I could sample several of the tacos on the menu. I ordered the carne asada, carnita, and pastor. They were all very good and I loved the purple corn tortillas. The portions were large enough that I think I would only order two next time. My husband's birria tacos were huge, messy and delicious. I'm embarrassed to say that my boys aren't huge fans of Mexican food other than chips and guac or salsa or queso. I don't know if it's the seasoning and the combination of textures and flavors that they resist. Unfortunately there are no alternatives for picky kids since the kid's menu is quesadillas, enchiladas, and tacos. We convinced my oldest to order a chicken quesadilla and he ate about half of it, but my stubborn youngest son just at chips and guac for dinner. Will be back to force my kids to try more of the menu because I am determined for them to expand their palates!

Great atmosphere and food is phenomenal! We make a special trip to Ulele from Orlando.read more

We've been fans of Ulele for years because the food and atmosphere are always incredible, but after…read morethis weekend it became a place that will forever mean something deeply personal to us. I reached out while planning a proposal to my now fiancée at the nearby park, hoping to arrange a small photo shoot area with champagne before dinner. After one quick email, the General Manager personally called me and spent time talking through ideas and helping make the evening special. Even with that conversation, I was completely unprepared for just how extraordinary they made everything. When we arrived, we followed a trail of rose petals to a beautifully decorated private table waiting for us with flowers, a handwritten card, champagne, and glasses already set. It honestly felt like something out of a movie. The attention to detail and genuine care from the entire team was unbelievable. The manager working that evening and our server were both absolutely wonderful -- warm, attentive, and sincerely excited for us. And on top of all of that, the food was phenomenal as always. I'm still in awe of how special Ulele made the night feel. I truly cannot imagine a better place to have proposed. This restaurant will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we'll definitely be back for many anniversaries and celebrations to come. Highly, highly recommend.
