Love Pei Wei! I always order the honey seared shrimp and chicken with brown rice. The lettuce wraps are also a fav. The crab cream cheese wontons are okay, probably won't be getting these next time. Use their app for rewards/discounts!! read more

I had not been here in over 10 years and stopped in on a whim after getting a craving. Unfortunately, it did not live up to what I remembered. The restaurant felt dusty and not very clean, and the food was honestly just bland. I ordered the tofu lettuce wraps, and the tofu was especially bad. It was overly chewy and cut into large chunks that did not work at all for a lettuce wrap. It really should have been crumbled. The edamame also tasted like it came from an old packet and was not fresh at all. That said, the staff were genuinely kind and welcoming. It is a shame, because this place used to be better, but the food just is not good anymore. I will not be coming back. read more

The food was a little too sweet for my taste. We had beef brocolli, orange chicken, noodles Egg rolls weren't crispy but soggy. I tried a vegetarian dish thai coconut crispy tofu. This was likely the best dish. I think overall we had trays of the food, but the sauces could have been separate and mixed in at the last moments before serving. It was edible, but not desired. I won't trade this for Panda Express any day of the week. read more

We got a BOGO deal so we got food here for the first time. It's a chain Chinese food place. They cook to order, so food can take a while to come out, around 20-30 minutes. Overall, the food was not bad, but hit and miss. * Firecracker Shrimp 5/5 - Crispy, tasty shrimp. Tasted like honeyed shrimp but with no walnuts. * Spicy Korean BBQ Steak 1/5 - Tasted like salted or soy sauce beef that is extremely salty. Had no sweetness or KBBQ flavor. * Fried Rice 4/5 - Pretty good fried rice. Restroom had no air circulation so it was like walking into a sauna. Not sure if it's intended or they just need to fix it. read more

My visit to Pei Wei was a bit hit-or-miss. The standout was definitely the Salmon Poke Bowl-it was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Highly recommend it if you visit! However, many other dishes (like their orange chicken or broccoli beef) tasted very similar to Panda Express, but with noticeably smaller portions.For the higher price point, I expected more generous servings. The ground is wet all over, and I almost slipped. Be careful! read more

I must admit that we drove pretty far because we wanted to taste Chef Jet Tila's food and it did not disappoint. We love rooting for him when he is on some of our favorite shows, and now we are rooting for his restaurants. We had the fried rice with orange chicken and also beef & broccoli. Both were fantastic. I loved the beef and broccoli the best but my husband loved the orange chicken the best. I was so excited when I saw there were sprouts in the rice, I love that so much but rarely find it. We also enjoyed the crab wontons. The sauce was spicy but I kept going back for more. All in all a great dinner. I also would like to mention that the restaurant is extremely clean. Staff welcomed us as soon as we arrived. Extremely friendly. There was a family in the restaurant with little girls running all around and spilling things, and the staff never lost their cool. They helped the dad who was a bit overwhelmed. They were kind through all of the father's apologies. Really good guys working here. We need this restaurant in the Bay Area please!!! read more

Food is all right. Actually, their orange chicken definitely tastes better than Panda Express and any express type of Chinese food. I highly recommend their orange chicken. The pad Thai was all right. We also got their Korean spicy beef and beef and broccoli bowls, and they were all on the saltier, saucier side. I like their unsweetened iced teas; those were good. It's a casual restaurant where you can order at the register, then sit to eat. There are plenty of fortune cookies, chili & soy sauce packets, to-go boxes. It's convenient. They clear off your table for you, so you don't have to put your dirty dishes anywhere if you dine in. read more

Came here a week ago. We were craving Orange Chicken again. This time it was perfect, the breading was light and the ratio of the orange flavor with the sweet sauce was perfect. We spoke to the manager to let him know it was perfectly cooked this time and he said if in the future, we are not happy with how it is cooked to let him know and they will re do it. The Mongolian green beans was very good as well. I will skip the hot and sour soup next time and go back to the Thai wonton soup. To the owner, the restroom needs to be renovated. read more

Pei Wei is one of our go-to spots whenever we're craving quick Chinese in night we don't feel like cooking. They offer a good variety of dishes, and our favorites are very reasonably priced (Chicken Lettuce Wraps, Mongolian Beef, kids Firecraker Chicken). Their rewards program is a big bonus too, earning discounts and even free meals is pretty awesome in today's pricey world. A special shoutout to Robert, the manager at the Tustin location. Many nights he is running the frontline single-handedly, yet everything flows smoothly. He's friendly, attentive, and never misses a beat. The kitchen is impressively fast as well. We typically dine in and are in and out in no time, which is perfect for busy evenings after our kiddo's activities. Consistently good food, efficient service, and a welcoming quiet environment. read more

I was surprised to see the reviews not a little bit higher, but regardless, my wife took me here for my first time since she has been here before and said it was pretty good. I would definitely agree and say it was very good, and they had a large number of options. We ended up ordering the Kung Pai Chicken, Broccoli Beef, Szechuan Green Beans, and more. The Green beans are honestly the best I have had in a very long time. I am not a fan of green beans, but the marinade that is on these, I was easily able to eat the full bowl of green beans before I remembered to grab a picture. As for the beef and chicken, they each had great flavor and great seasoning as well. The fried rice with each was moist and not too hot or dry. As for the veggies, they are pretty standard and basic, but again, this is a solid option, in my opinion, as a better Panda Express option. Definitely recommend it and have been a few times now since the first visit! The service was great, and the front lady was sweet enough to provide honest feedback and let us know the go-to's! read more

Food was really good and I'd choose pei wei over any panda express. It's just a shame that there's only 1 in California but still yum :).

Love the spacing & options there. Food was ok to get for the noodles & veggies. People are cool though to serve me.

I'm shocked, why? I"m shocked because of all my memories I have had at this Pei Wei over the years. I remember waiting in long lines, and sitting with many others ordering take out. What has happened to Pei Wei? Today, they dismantled their take out section and it looks messy. How long will it be before this place is closed down? Pei Wei today in the District is dirty, smelly, and out-dated. Please, open the window! The bathroom smell permeated the entire building. There must be a sewer backup because we could smell it outside. They have reduced the ingredients to their dishes. I know because I loved to substitute some items. For example, Pei Wei today serves Sesame chicken with chicken, broccoli and rice. Pei Wei ten years ago, served Sesame chicken with white fried noodles, pineapple, bell peppers and chicken. Today's version is a lot worse. We also ordered Bourbon chicken and sent it back asap. It was terrible. Salty, sweet, and tasted horrible. Pei Wei lost us as customers. read more

We often stop here and always are glad we did. We enjoy the menu, the service and the friendly staff. The manager always has time to greet us, making us feel welcome. The menu has changed, new items, new flavors but the prices remain very reasonable. We also appreciate the ongoing efforts by staff to keep the restaurant Very Clean. read more

Tried a new place for lunch today in Irvine. Pei Wei Asian kitchen was quite a good surprise! The place itself is large and bright. Clean and offers lots of condiments, side plates and to go boxes right there in a self serve area. Love that idea! The young woman got our order wrong but they were super quick at fixing it and getting it back to the table. We ordered the signature lettuce wraps which by the way were soo delicious and flavorful! Quite a good surprise in my opinion. Also we ordered the Thai basil chicken and white rice which is a new dish. Great flavor and good size serving. Definitely filling! We also ordered the spicy Korean bbq steak with substitute fried rice. The steak was soft and tasty and the rice was pretty good as well. I am excited to go back and try a few other things they had on their menu soon because they looked scrumptious. If you're in the area give them a shot! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by my personal experience here! We stopped by for dinner during the holiday season and were met with lots of seating options in the open space. There may have only been one or two other tables with people. We ordered the Honey-Seared Chicken with white rice and the Beef Teriyaki with a side of fried rice -- our orders arrived to our table quickly! I LOVED the Honey-Seared Chicken! And I will most definitely be ordering it again. The portion size is definitely amazing. The amount of rice that's included is MORE than enough and the amount of chicken was plentiful! The honey with the chicken was such a splendid taste and mixed with rice...so so delicious! All of this for $11? Just a great deal. While the Honey-Seared Chicken was delicious, the Beef Teriyaki was more on the mediocre end. While the price point was still great for the portion, the fried rice almost seemed like it was not fully cooked. The dish was overall a bit on the salty side and what stood out the most was how watery the dish became about 10 minutes into eating. Because it got so watery, the remaining teriyaki and the fried rice turned into a mushy like consistency. It seems that the food experience here depends on the dish! I will definitely be ordering the Honey-Seared Chicken again and will be looking to order more dishes adjacent to that more than the Beef Teriyaki. read more

4/20/25, We've come to this only remaining location in Southern California a few times over the past six months; although, I am still trying to find something outstanding to say about this place but I just can't come up with anything. There are a few unpleasant things that this location like the others years before they all closed, you would think that this being the last one remaining that it would be better but honestly it's just poorly managed. For starters, has anyone noticed how chilly it is at almost anywhere you sit inside the restaurant? Seems like there is an air conditioner blowing directly down at each table so even on a warm day outside you have to remember to bring a jacket if you want to dine inside. Additionally, notice how the tables are left messy for a long time after a customer finishes?, it takes the employee about 15 to 20 minutes to come around to clear off a messy table although you never see them clean off the table with a wet towel and detergent. Thirdly, the bathroom smells and/or bathroom soap smells come all the way out to the dining area, so it is actually very unpleasant to be smelling the odors or even that bathroom detergent smell all the while trying to enjoy eating the food. Lastly, they want to charge a lot extra for a tiny bit of peanuts or scallions, so we brought our own scallions straight from our home garden and the peanuts are from Trader Joe's. And finally, the chicken on the bourbon chicken dish tasted more like chopped rubbery pork belly meat, so I'm never ordering that again. Plus they give way too much rice for the price. Doesn't make such a good meal unless you bring some of your own extras from home to add to it. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while, and I was not impressed, nor was I disappointed. Got the firecracker chicken and fried rice, and it was pretty tasty, and a decent amount of food for the price. However, the service was awful, but it wasn't really the end of the world. Not sure this place is worth going out of the way to try, but not a bad bang for your buck. read more

Sad to do this because the food is pretty good but honestly placed an order for delivery. Wrote circle instead of street in the address and called right away to correct it. They told me it was 'impossible' and I would have to cancel and reorder. I thought that was silly they couldn't just update the address and I was told I would be refunded in 5 days. It's a $60 order mind you. During the conversation they CANCELLED my order without my authorization and so here I am 13 days later and have still not received my refund for the cancelled order. I called and spoke to a manager yesterday and sit here on hold for the last mins again to speak to a manager. I'm not trying to be a Karen but honestly to pay $120 for mediocre Chinese food is ridiculous when I just want to be reimbursed. read more

Amazing good, I love their chow mein and honey chicken. Their food always comes out so delicious. I think it's normally not very busy but everytime I come I really enjoy the food. It normally comes out very fast as well which is super nice. read more

So this was kind of disappointing. I ordered the orange chicken with lo mein noodles and it felt like eating orange chicken with plain spaghetti. The fact that there was no flavor or seasoning for the noodles was extremely dissatisfying. They're even fried on the wok. Come here if you're on a really strict diet or boil some noodles at home. While the orange chicken was AMAAZING the whole meal was still ruined because the noodles weren't good at all. read more

We've been coming here for years and today was the first day I felt compelled to leave a review, not because we've had negative experiences in the past, but because this worker deserves recognition. I didn't catch her name, but she was working the register Wednesday, September 24, 2025 around 6:30 PM. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND her line of duty and it was not unnoticed. We've never minded putting our dishes away, but today was the first time someone (this young woman) came over and offered us boxes and cleared our dishes. Such a small gesture of kindness, but a rarity in today's environment. Thank you!! read more

It's a nice place to eat when you want good food fast. The food is yummy and staff is nice.

Hostess was helpful since we hadn't been here before. (It was a ghost town inside.) The food was meh. Firecracker Chicken was sort of mushy and didn't get the heat that was advertised. Thai Coconut Curry Chicken was a solid 3 star experience. The Spring Rolls were too greasy to eat. We will keep looking for a new "go to" for Chinese. read more

Just wanted to give a huge shout out to Angel and Angel (yes...both gentlemen have the same name)at the Tustin location in the District. Most Saturdays, my son, his caregiver and I frequent The District because he loves the outdoor experience and fountains! But we never miss stopping for a bowl of amazing Chicken Pad Thai at Pei Wei. Angel, the cashier and food runner always greets us warmly like we are old friends and makes my son feel super special. Angel also remembers my son has extreme dietary restrictions and also has difficulty waiting for his food and makes it a priority to always bring his food with extra gluten-free soy sauce on the side. The nicest thing is Angel always treats us like he is happy to see us and asks specific questions to Mikey to see how he is doing. Although Mikey is nonverbal you can tell loves the friendship connection!! So good job to the Angel the manager... But even more amazing job and thank you so much to the food runner and cashier,Angel for just being such a great person and making sure our food and our experience is always top-notch. read more

I knew there was a reason why we took Pei Wei off our list of dining establishments. Ever since the acquisition away from the P.F, Chang's umbrella in 2019, Pei Wei has become lost in the typical smorgasbord of cost cutting, 'alignment' of the new owner(s) take of MVP cuisine.... MVP as in Minimal Viable Product. Even with Jet Li's optimistic tutelage, Pei Wei has wandered quite far from their original goal. Something outside of his own control, new offerings aside. (Minor shareholder, IIRC) I hope PF Chang got ALL THE $$$$ for that transaction. This isn't something new, as it started once the papers were signed.... Pei Wei has succumbed to the fast casual lunch establishment. Something to relatively quickly grab subsistence. Whether the calories are within spec, the amount of rice vs protein provided is quite abysmal. Forget 'family style' portions or presentations. We stopped in last evening for dinner. Obviously forgetting why we took it off our list... Ordering food was easy, our teenage Minions could have pushed the buttons on the POS Kiosk system versus a very presentable employee. I spotted spare plates near the condiments /utensils, but left them there due to them looking dirty. Once our food arrived, each dish had sooooooooo much rice. Nearly two cups worth for each one. Sesame Chicken, Bourbon Chicken, Broccoli Beef, Chicken Fried Rice (obviously that one has rice in the description) Portions were not dinner equivalent, that is for certain. We had to obtain our own plates. I located three, the fourth one was dirty. Sourced a stack of six plates, all had food stuck to them, or other signs of not being cleaned properly. I inquired with an employee for an additional one after advising finding dirty ones... And the stack of plates he looked through were dirty as well.. He then went through seven (7) dirty bowls before finding a clean one. Heck, seeing how many dirty dishes there were, we do not even know if the serving bowls the food was delivered in were fully clean, now that I think of it. Food flavors were meh. The Bourbon Chicken does not mesh with the rest of the meals on the board. Sesame Chicken & Broccoli Beef were overly sweet. Chicken Fried Rice was bland. - No flavors, no real seasoning besides salt. I should have stuck to my gut inclination and gone home to make dinner. We won't be back. C. - Fortune Cookies.... Received same series of 'inspirational' messages from six years ago. =/ read more

Went there today, first time in 2 years. We were on our way back from Indian casino. and hungry. We walked in and was greeted by "Naomi" ,she was great. She also bought the food to our table and containers for leftovers. What a change from our last visit. The whole vibe has changed for the good. We live about 30 miles away and stopped coming here. I thought for sure that this place was going to close like all the other locations. Surprise, Surprise. things are great keep up the good work. B & K. read more

Years ago in the East coast, I tried Pei Wei and i liked it. I tried it again in CA, and I am sad to see what once was the talk of town has diminished to such a low quality food. I tried the drunken noodle and my husband tried chicken pad tai. Both foods came with too much sauce and they felt chewy. The store cleanliness was not as expected either. read more

I am happy that there is a Pei Wei reasonably close to me. For my money, they are the best of the Asian Fusion chain restaurants. I've been to the location in Tustin many times, including getting take out yesterday. It is always good. The service is friendly and they have a lot of menu choices. I have a fondness for their Chicken and Broccoli, but honestly, everything I've tried has been good. Their prices are reasonable and they give ample servings. Pei Wei is an easy recommendation! read more

It's ok! The food here is so so. I wasn't amazed by the menu and the taste was average. The service was great and the staff was friendly. The ambiance is casual.

I have been a Pei Wei fan for years but this was my first time at this location. I ordered my usual Pad Thai with no chicken and asked for extra egg and peanuts. I waited almost 20 minutes and finally had to ask. Server apologized and said my order had been skipped but it would be out in 5 minutes. When it arrived there was little to no scrambled eggs, no peanuts and it tasted like they had dumped an entire bottle of vinegar in sauce. It was inedible! I went to use the restroom and it smelled like a sewer. I will definitely NOT be going back to this lication! read more
