Can't wait to return to the Annapolis Peter Chang restaurant. We arrived just after opening and were quickly greeted and provided a seat along the back wall. Our server stopped by our table within minutes of sitting down to greet us and take our drink We stopped by for their first weekend dim sum and happened to be the only guests for the majority of our meal. Every item we were served came out hot and flavorful from the oolong tea to the bubble scallion pancake! read more

We, a small party of 3 adults, dined last night at Peter Chang Annapolis. First, the food was very tasty. We had several starters and a main course of Peking Duck. Each very good. The ambiance was disappointing. Bare walls, hard surfaces, hardwood tables and booths - nothing that evokes less of fine dining and more of cookie cutter corporate. The hard surfaces also makes it difficult to conduct conversations. The service was adequate but not polished. The Peking Duck was plated in the kitchen and not carved at the table as other high-end restaurants will do. We were surprised that the restaurant does not yet have a liquor license. They will soon have service but maybe this should have been mentioned on the website. The jasmine tea was excellent and complemented the meal. Pricing was fair and more than justified by the quality of the meals. Will I go back? Probably not any time soon. As Peking Duck was the main reason for going, there are alternatives in the region that I prefer. read more

Peter Chang was a mixed experience for us. The food itself was delicious -- no complaints there. But the atmosphere was really dry and unwelcoming. I'm not sure what the building used to be, but the layout is strange. There's the main dining area, and then another section you have to walk outside to get to. As a family of four, it honestly felt like they were separating parties -- if you had kids, you got sent to the back. It didn't make sense, especially since they're far from trying to be upscale. The décor doesn't help either. It's so plain it feels like eating in a clean, empty apartment. No alcohol license, nothing to warm up the space. The one thing I did like in the back area was the table setup -- the rotating center (I'm blanking on the name) and the tea kettle and cups were actually really cute. But the back room itself felt like an afterthought. One worker was literally eating and working at the same time right in front of us -- sweep a little, take a bite, wipe a table, take a bite. It just came off unprofessional. Our server, though, was great. A younger Black woman who was super attentive and knew the menu well. Overall, I wouldn't go back. The food was good, but the atmosphere was too unwelcoming -- between the odd layout, the lack of décor, and feeling tucked away in a separate section. I'm not a big fan of Chinese food to begin with, so I wanted to try something different, but I'd be fine not returning. read more

There are a variety of Peter Chang locations, which are fundamentally similar but do have notable menu variations. The chain trends more towards Virginia than Maryland, so I was mildly surprised to drive pass this one in the Annapolis suburbs. But I was glad I stopped in for takeout, because what i got was excellent. A fried tofu and pepper dish rendered with what tasted like cooking wine and some savory sauce was mouthwatering. Where applicable, their menu had options to check a box for vegan preparation to eliminate any doubt. I note that one thing common to Peter Chang locations is that rice is not included, so you do have to order it for a small charge if you want it. Adding some green-filled dumplings was a good choice as well. The location was small, but buzzing, and I could see why. read more

We had a very enjoyable evening for Peter Chang's soft opening in Annapolis, MD. First night serving food. They did not disappoint. The menu was extensive with many choices from tapas, Dim Sum, and main dishes. A huge plus, they have Soup Dumplings! The seafood crispy noodles were a favorite. I loved the shredded cabbage, so flavorful. The scallion "blow up balloon" pancake was really fun to share and dip into a savory sauce. Finally! A real Chinese restaurant in Annapolis. We will be returning often. Go check them out asap! read more

Wow did this knock our socks off for dim sum! We went on Sat afternoon around 2:30...and it was still lively ambiance. The restaurant was brand new and still had some things wrapped in styrofoam. Our waiter was super attentive and courteous. He made sure to check in on us and was patient with us while we made our selections. We got so many small plates, but what stood was the bubble pancake (especially the turmeric dipping sauce), pork shu mai, dry fried eggplant, honey pork ribs, and crystal shrimp dumplings. Everything came out quickly and hot and fresh! They don't yet have the AYCE dim sum yet, but maybe next month after they get the kitchen staff to keep up with the demand. Definitely recommend! And next time we will get the roast duck! read more

You need to have the duck. Peter Chang knows how to cook a mallard. Wow. The king pao chicken and shrimp are awesome too. All of the dishes are unique and delicious. This location is pretty new so they only had tea and soda cans for beverages. I love the lazy Susan on the table for eating family style. Try clean and attentive staff. read more

We visited this new location of Peter Chang's today for lunch, and we will be back for more. My friend and I decided to share some dim sum/tapas type items. She had a cup of hot and sour soup. We shared the spicy dry fried eggplant, which was cut into sticks. We saw orders of the puffy golden scallion bubble pancake going by, so we had to try that. It came with a little pot of a nice curry sauce, which the server said they make in house daily. The vegan Dan Dan noodles were very tasty, with little crispy cubes of tofu. We also tried the pork and shrimp shumai, which were yummy too. The lunch prices were extremely reasonable. We waited a while before our server found us to begin with, but then he took good care of us. I will definitely go back to try more items. read more

Gosh! A Chicago girl here who struggles to find GOOD food with real culture in Annapolis. This place surpassed my expectations, the dishes were flavorful and fresh and the portion sizes were perfect. I was very impressed with the ambiance, food came slow at times due to its freshness. I look forward to dining again and bringing my friends. Maria was AWESOME! Thank you Peter! read more

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants in MD. So glad that they opened in Annapolis. The food is fresh and made to order. Some of the dishes are unique but also lots of classic dishes. I love everything about Peter Changs, great atmosphere, great service and amazing food! Welcome Peter Chang to Annapolis!! read more

Excellent Chinese tapas and dim sum option. Came here 2 times for lunch. Very reasonable and great service. Definitely come back for Peking duck for dinner. read more

Finding decent Chinese food in Annapolis has been strangely elusive (even the Americanized kind -- Do a search for Chinese food in Annapolis on Yelp, and you get...Lemongrass (Thai) and Joss (sushi)) -- Until now. Peter Chang's new restaurant opened in an unremarkable shopping plaza along a busy street near Quiet Waters. My husband made the reservation primarily based on the chef's reputation elsewhere. I was honestly somewhat skeptical as we pulled in to the parking lot. The restaurant looks the part of an authentic Chinese restaurant -- welcoming staff, bright lighting, boisterous ambiance. The restaurant is not large, so the tables are relatively packed in. I was glad we got a reservation. The items listed in the menu all sounded great, especially the whole roasted duck -- we decided against it mainly because we were starving, and we didn't think we can wait for the duck (usually requires 20 minutes of prep at other restaurants). We were drawn to the tapas/dim sum plates, and converged on what seemed like a lot of food (but most of these are small): roasted duck baos (only 2), chive pockets (also just 2), crystal shrimp dumplings (4), osmanthus honey pork rib, green beans with pickled cabbage, and the egg scallion fried rice. We also wanted to try the scallion pancakes but they were already sold out (!). Every dish we tried had great flavors, and almost all of them were delicious. The one dish that didn't quite work for us was the pork -- the sauce was awesome (rich, not overly sweet), but the rib was overcooked and dry -- might be a one-off. My favorite of the bunch was the duck bao -- the filling was juicy and piping hot, the exterior not too doughy -- I now really want to try the whole duck (perhaps next time). The green beans with pickled cabbage is a standard dish that many restaurants offer, Peter Chang's version is well above the standard; the flavor is bright, not too greasy, the texture is crunchy, not soggy. The shrimp dumplings are very nice -- delicate wrappers, succulent shrimps. I liked the chive pockets, though they appeared more like empanadas than I expected. Even the fried rice was delicious -- we finished every bite. To get to the delicious dinner, though, we had to wait for a *really* long time. Our originally assigned server looked overwhelmed and confused. No one came to help us for nearly 30 minutes. I think our hangry faces must have registered because a different server came over to take care of us. He, too, was looking a bit frazzled, but he was very kind and did everything he could to make our meal pleasant despite the long wait. I have high hopes for this restaurant, and plan to return soon -- maybe after they figure out their workflow. It would certainly be nice to be able to get to authentic Chinese flavors without driving all the way to Rockville or Baltimore or Virginia! read more

I understand this restaurant is newly opened but our lunch there this week was underwhelming. The first thing that struck us upon walking in was the noise. With an all hardscape interior, this dining room is very loud. Also, being the latest of several Peter Chang restaurants in the area, we were expecting a bit more ambiance - some booths, , lighting, etc. But the furnishings were instead very plain, more like a fast food seating area. Our waiter was very nice and the three small plates we ordered to sample the food came fairly quickly. One was Vegan Dan Dan Noodles which was good. But the other two raised questions. One was a Sauteed Cayenne Pepper Shredded Beef that was very tasty, and the beef was very tender, but was not the least bit spicy. This was likely due to the peppers not being cayenne but, instead, appearing to be shisedo peppers. When I asked the waiter about this, he agreed, saying he guessed they substituted different peppers. Hmm -- but the dish has Cayenne in its name. And when we pointed out that the Shredded Chicken in Spicy Garlic Sauce had no hint of either taste or odor of garlic, and no spice to it, he just shook his head and said "Yeah, I don't know". Again, friendly waiter, but made no effort to address our concerns. In addition, there was no tea offered which is usually a typical offering in a Chinese food restaurant. I'm sure there will be some improvement given time but, based on the overall experience - from food to service to ambiance - when you factor in the price, this place missed the mark in our opinion. read more

Another Peter Chang location with the potential for great food. The space is very cramped; I don't know if there are more tables in the back that are not available yet or what, but the loud, noisy space is very tight. Ordering the big Sichuan fish was our first big mistake. Also, the servers seemed not quite up to speed yet, dropping cutlery and not able to answer basic menu questions, etc. The small dishes on the "Chinese Tapas" menu were good and comparable for the most part to those in his NiHao place in Arlington/Crystal City. The most pleasant surprises were the dried spicy fried eggplant (like French fries almost) and the eggplant with egg tofu which was really delicious. The green beans and beef was also very good and a good deal for the price. The dumplings are good, of course, and the Sichuan fish was not bad. It's huge so think twice about ordering it in such a small, cramped space. I'll definitely return and order more small dishes. read more

We never eat Chinese because we can't find a good restaurant...until now. We ordered take-out, we were greeting warmly at the host stand, although it was hard to hear her as the restaurant was very loud with average patrons speaking in normal tones of voice. I won't be going in to sit down to eat. The food was warm when we got home and they do take care to package in a way that the sauces and soup wouldn't leak during transport. That said, the food was so good! Hot and sour soup with duck, amazing. Staying in the duck family, the crispy duck egg rolls were also so good. We loved the spicy flair to their food-even the kids. Exception was the fried rice, which was quite bland, felt like the egg and soy sauce were left out. We no longer eat out very often because I can't pay those extraordinary high prices for mediocre food but we will return here (for take-out). read more

Food great. Service C+. Just got liquor license. Bar service very slow. Never got out 2 orders of wine. Very loud inside.

I had sweet and sour cat fish, take out. When I opened it the clumps of fish were all glued together, not good. I had wonton soup that only tasted like very salty water, i could not eat it. I had pork steam buns and shrimp dumplings that were delicious. It was a mixed bag but I will try it again as I want it to really good and they have not been open too long. I will say its flavors are more subtle and perhaps more refined then typical Chinese restaurants. I wish them great success. read more

We had a 5:00 reservation on Sunday 4/26. The restaurant was not crowded, but we were seated almost ten minutes before a server arrived. I ordered a martini and it was almost ten minutes before it was served, martini was very good, but a $2.00 upcharge for Tito''s. We ordered and when the food arrived the table for two is too small for multiple food plates. Food was good. I had the sizzling beef and chalots, grand portion but a cup of white rice was an uncharge..really? Overall the food was very good and fresh. The server came by one time during our meal. The server had to be hailed for the check, the server always seemed to be away. The restaurant is rather small inside and nothing particularly eye catching about the decor, so ambiance is not really front and center....the interior is just another restaurant in Annapolis. read more

Great food and service. It's dubbed "fusion Chinese food", which means the dishes are not the same as the traditional Chinese food menu. They taste great! A lot of background noise from people having fun. We've enjoyed every visit. read more

Delicious authentic sichuan cuisine. Service is fast and friendly. New modern interior with Chinese touches. They also have a private dining room. Great addition to Annapolis and DMV. read more

Dinner at 530p for 3 on 3/8. Gosh did it take awhile to receive our dishes. Food, however, was great: Dragon eggplant; tapas lamb with cumin and a tapas eggplant dish. The bird's nest seafood stew was different from what I expected. Seafood was fine but it was bland. Would not order again. Hot and sour soup was great. Delivery of food to table was haphazard and disorganized. Made me think you're better off ordering tapas plates versus entrees. Hopefully, kinks will be worked out. Very noisy though. Overall, strongly recommend and will return. read more

Had 2 dishes. Sizzling steak - excellent. Lo Mein with waygu beef. The beef was overdone and tough. Had to leave most of it. Service was uncertain as it was soft opening. But no one came over to ask how things were. Ambiance, extremely noisy. Overall- wait till they open officially and avoid the wagyu. read more

Great food and service at a reasonable price, can't wait for till they get their liquor license

Food is spectacular....puffed rice pancake, Crystal Shrimp dumplings, fried pork dumplings...all beautifully prepared, great sauces and nice portions for the price. At the recommendation of another diner, I tried the Shredded String Beans and Beef in a lightly spicy brown sauce...tender beef, lovely string beans and rich brown sauce with a touch of spice. Lovely jasmine hot tea and excellent service. The only drawback is the ambience....restaurant is very loud....loud music, loud voices, lots of scraping and banging of tables, chairs, etc. Not relaxing, And takes some getting used to. I wouldn't come here to talk...plan to go simply to eat, taste, order and take home whatever is left! I will return often but not with anyone concerned about loud noise. read more

went there when they first opened and everything was delicious. Went back today and totally different experience . Everything tasted like it was warmed over. The duck was incredibly overcooked and dry and the dumplings were tasteless. Not sure what happened, but it seemed like a different restaurant from just weeks ago. read more

Great service! Amazing food!! Best Chinese I've had in years!! Hot & fresh!! We will be coming back!!

On Friday, Feb 20 our party of four had lunch at Peter Chang's. Since it was our first time, we ordered a variety of small and large dishes. EVERYTHING we ordered was way too salty. To the point it was difficult to eat at all. Also, there is a large sign out front advertising their all-you-can-eat dim sum, which we really wanted to try. Inside the restaurant we were told that is not available. How hard is it to cover or remove a sign? It is especially annoying when a business advertises something to attract customers and then tells them it is not available. Classic unethical bait-and-switch. We had high hopes for this new restaurant but needless to say we will not be going back anytime soon. Service good; noise level - music volume too high. read more

The food was ok. The real disappointment is the interior. It has zero charm and is very, very noisy. The ambiance does not match the menu. Feels like a fast food restaurant. read more
