1.31.26 Their Peking duck is simply perfection. The skin is beautifully crispy, the meat tender, and the pancakes are thin, soft, and never dry. This is the only restaurant I've been to where the pancake‑to‑duck ratio actually makes sense. They also include a complimentary duck soup with the order, though it wasn't my favorite. Hubby ordered the Mongolian beef and really enjoyed it. They're generous with the meat, though he felt the dish had a bit too many onions. Our server was wonderful--attentive, friendly, and checked on us often. My only complaint was the table next to us. The group was extremely loud and obnoxious, which definitely took away from the experience. Thankfully, service was quick, so we didn't have to endure it for long.
I like this location compared to College Park. Recently did their unlimited dim sum brunch to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was a large group so reservations were necessary! Our server, Aaron was great! Very knowledgeable and patient with our party of 8! I don't eat pork and was thinking I won't have enough to choose from but that was not the case! Their menu is expansive and everyone got to order different dishes. My favorites were the scallion bubble pancake with a side of curry sauce (a must try) and the grandma noodles. We ordered a few dishes outside of the dim sum menu. The fried rice was a hit! Everyone has to participate in the bottomless dim sum! At $36/person, it's definitely worth it. They offer a mimosa or bellini at $6/each drink. Most of our group got the bellinis. I believe the dim sum brunch option is only offered Saturdays and Sundays! Be mindful when ordering! There's no taking food home from the dim sum menu. There's also a disclaimer on their menu that they reserve the right to charge for wasted food! Overall a great experience and I would come back for the bottomless dim sum!
It's a popular Chinese restaurant. The food was pretty authentic and tasty, but the service was minimal. It was crowded but it wasn't noisy.
Came for the all you can eat dim sum on a Sunday morning at opening. Hours for the AYCE is 11-3pm. There were fewer dim sum options than I was expecting but the staples were there: sui mai and ha gao. For $36 pp, you can order some things that are on the regular menu as well. The pea shoots were excellent. You could easily get your moneys worth with that and the soup dumplings! May try the duck set menu next time!
We stopped by during out restaurant hopping night. For the price, we weren't so impressed with the food. Soup dumplings were pretty dried and not enough juice. Hot n sour soup was average. Crispy pork was pretty good in my opinion. Service was quick and friendly.
Hi Yelpers, I was in Columbia for my birthday and decided to grab lunch with my little girls and I looked on Yelp and found Peter Chang. The host was very warm and we were escorted to our seats. The first thing I noticed was the table keep sliding away which was really annoying. Basically it had no resistance to the floor from keeping it from not moving back and forth. I was going to ignore this until my 5 year old mentioned how the table was bothering her because one little lean on the table and it moves. We table on the table by the glass window directly in front of the Bar. We ordered Mangolian Beef, Orange Chicken, combination fried rice, steam dumplings and General So ( OMG I forgot the spelling please forgive me). I found the dishes we ordered to be way salty. Except the Rice and Steamed Dumplings which were very nice. The vibe was nice and my server Dan was fantastic. The food was just too salty. If you like Salty food then go for and I would definitely recommend the place but if you don't like salty food then skip.
I took my mom here for a light lunch of Peking duck and soup dumplings. The Peking duck is a solid choice, especially bc it was served with a vegetable tofu soup with duck bone broth, I also like that the duck was crispy, served with cucumbers, scallions and hoi sin sauce.
I've been to Peter Chang several times over the years and I think something in the kitchen must have changed because some of the entrees (mala beef, mapo tofu) are much saltier and some are very lackluster in flavor or stale (popcorn shrimp). The only consistent menu item is their peking duck and the soup that comes with it, which both taste great. The service is attentive and kind, which is always appreciated. Other than that, I don't think I'd recommend this restaurant anymore unless you have a serious craving for peking duck.
This is my favorite Chinese restaurant that is relatively local. I've loved everything I've gotten and crave Grandma's Noodle regularly. My daughter and I frequent this place for our Mommy/Daughter dates and today we tried their all you can eat menu for the first time and it did not disappoint. There were so many delicious options, we tried 13 dishes and all were good, but 10 of them for absolute 10 out of 10! Definitely get the scallion bubble pancake, the soup dumplings - yes! Crispy pork belly is addictive (not on ayce menu but they do have spicy crispy chicken which is amazing) and Today's most fun surprises were the Sour cabbage chili shrimp & pork wonton - crazy good and the Black and gold egg custard bun - wow! Just wow!
Peter Changs is fire! I came here on Saturday with my family for lunch and we got the AYCE which is actually a deal we found on their IG account, but not on the website. There was a wide variety of small dishes, street food, and dim sum to choose from. While I was experimenting with the hot & spicy pigs feet (which was unexpected fire), my family played it a little more safe with different soups, and dumplings. We also ordered 1/2 of a peking duck, which wasn't on the AYCE menu, but is definitely a must try. A few of my favorites were the... Hot & Spicy Chicken, This dish slaps. Small fried pieces of chicken with big big flavor. Braised Pork Knuckle W/ Bean Paste: It's like the best pork & beans you'll ever have in your life. My only complaint is that I didn't ask for rice. I could've eaten this on rice all day and been happy. Grandma's Noodle: Homemade noodles tossed in pepper oil, simple, but Fire! Mala Beef Brisket Noodle: Basically brisket noodle soup, extra fire! I also tried the Braised Pork W/ Baby Abalone Skewers, but then I googled Abalone. I didn't like the sauce as much as other dishes. The abalone reminded me of a tough scallop or calamari. The Sweet Glazed Pork Belly, was really sweet, and may have been my least favorite of the day, but with so many other options, I wasn't mad. Everything ain't for everybody. We also got 6 dollar mimosas with of AYCE and so we did...lol The thing that I liked the most was getting a chance to try so many different types of food. I'm always telling my kids to try new things, and this was the perfect place for them to experiment while still having other options that were more familiar. The staff here was fast and friendly, and with reservations, we had almost no wait between arriving and being seated. Other guest that walked in were having to wait to be called. all that aside, Peter Changs is Fire!!!
Very good Sichuan restaurant. My husband and I come here often. The dishes are pretty good, and many are spicy. Ask the waiter to adjust the spice or numbing factor if you wish. There are vegetarian options for those who prefer. We enjoy the Kung Pao chicken, the Mongolian beef, and the fried rices. We weren't super impressed by the Shrimp in Pepper sauce. They have a well stocked bar. Service is always friendly and helpful. Front staff always greets. Very small dining area so snag a reservation prior to coming out, especially on busy weekends. There is outdoor seating during warmer weather, which opens up more dining space. Give them a try!
Came here for their AYCE dimsum experience. Highlights of the meal were the bubble scallion pancake, sweet potato sesame balls, and mala brisket noodles. The other noodle and dimsum dishes were just okay. Overall everything came out quick and tasted good, but not sure it was worth the ayce experience.
We took our mother to Peter Chang Restaurant in Columbia for her 78th birthday dinner. We were able to get immediate seating for 10 people at 6PM on Saturday without reservations. We ordered several appetizers and main dishes. Food came out relatively fast. Some of the dishes such as the Congqing chicken, Mapo Tofu, Peking duck, and Pea Shoots were spot on. While other dishes such as Kung Pao chicken, Bang Bang shrimp, and calamari were a disappointment.
Stopped by during lunch time and went with the cashew chicken. The order wasn't ready so I took a spin around Merriweather. About ten minutes later I got my food and was pleasantly surprised by the portion size. I had asked for extra spices on the side which they remembered. The chicken itself was tender and not overcooked. There was also no lack of sauce and rice. Without the additional spices I'd say the dish is a 3/10 on the spice level. With the added spices I took it up to a 6. Overall it's a very fresh dish that feels very authentic. If you're looking for spice hit up the Thai place on the same block. read more

There's a huge open parking lot in the back and free. Service was really good it came out pretty fast. Everything seemed fresh. Plenty of seating inside with big open windows and a bar as well. Some dishes were good one or two we questioned. The curry pancake one definitely don't get it's just batter. The curry flounder definitely recommend. I think it's a good experience to try once but I dont think it wowd me enough to go back. read more

We made a reservation for lunch on a Saturday which was the correct decision considering how crowded it was. We chose to do the AYCE dimsum which was very affordable $36pp. There were soooo many options and the portions were small allowing us to try an even larger range of dishes. My favorite is always the scallion bubble pancake. I also enjoyed the pork soup dumplings, spicy duck, abalone, and custard buns. Everything was made to perfection. Our server was very attentive and also came by often to ask if we wanted to order more. The gratuity was automatically applied for AYCE. I did notice when I used to come here, our servers typically spoke Chinese which was perfect for our grandparents who don't speak English but in our recent times coming, we weren't able to communicate in Chinese anymore. There are two single stall bathrooms in the back and parking was kinda hard to find since there was a concert at Merriweather, we ended up parking on the 6th floor of the symphony woods garage. read more
My husband and I had brunch at Peter Chang in Columbia on Christmas Day. The restaurant is nice and in a convenient location at the Merriweather District. The service was great throughout our meal. The menu is broad, and we had a hard time deciding what to order - especially considering they had a special set menu for Christmas. Ultimately, we ordered a few dishes: a Scallion Bubble Pancake, Pork Soup Dumplings, Jade Duck Tofu Soup (Vegetable Green Broth w/ Minced Duck and Tofu), Flounder Fish Sour Cabbage Soup, and Grandma's Noodles. Everything was delicious but that extra sour and a little spicy fish and cabbage soup is the kind of dish I crave. I'm craving it right now. We ordered a bottle of sparkling sake, which was way too sweet for me, but it was nice that they have alcohol options if you want to make it a fancy brunch or dinner at Peter Chang. Ultimately, a pretty good meal, and I'd go out of my way for that soup again. read more

Be sure to make a reservation as this place is always hopping! The service is friendly, fast and amazing! You have to try the bubble pancake! Not something you could get for takeout snd you'll see why! As for food, you really can't go wrong. Spice levels go up to super. I can say that just below super is nice but super is likely manageable if you're a spice head like me. The crispy fish in black bean sauce comes served on a fried fish "bowl" that you just have to experience! You can eat some of it but the fish is so bony you won't get far. The dish is quite tasty. The bang bang shrimp is also a wonderful appetizer. I can also recommend the chili cubed dish and add numbing powder. Definitely a vibe with great food! read more
If you're looking for delicious Chinese food, this is the place to go. They let you customize the spiciness and numbing levels which is plus, but I found that their dishes weren't overwhelmingly spicy. We ordered a variety of vegetarian and meat dishes which were all really delicious. I enjoyed the mappo tofu, Congqing Chili chicken, and green beans. All the dishes were a decent portion and perfect for family style sharing. I would definitely come back again. read more

The food was very good. I wish the spicy dishes were more spicy and numbing though. Compared to an authentic Szechuan restaurant, I will say the flavors here are very mild. The scallion pancake here is not your usual Chinese version, it is more like an Indian Chole Bhature than a Chinese pancake. The beef roll had two versions, a normal and a numbing version but both didn't taste spicy or numbing enough for me. I did really like the Peking Duck, it was authentic. Grandma's noodles were a little bland for me, I wish it had more of a kick. The restaurant and bathroom was very clean. I like the decor and atmosphere. Not too many large tables so I recommend reserving ahead if you have a big group. read more
The Chinese food options in Columbia are few and far between so if you have a craving then this can fill it. It's a nicely decorated restaurant that is dark in some parts and light and airy in others. The taste of food is definitely Americanized. XLB were good. Beef was ok. Dragon eggplant seemed to be drowning in grease and falling apart from the spiral cut. Dishes were very expensive, at around $20 an entree but the portions are reasonably large. Still though, far too expensive for what you are getting. read more

To get to the point - I love Peter Chang's and come here all the time. The waitstaff are nice, the restaurant is clean, it's a nice place to eat. I pretty much like everything I've tried on the menu. It's clear that the food is made fresh and with high quality ingredients. Deets--- Tea - it's a pot for the table for like $5. I like the chrysanthemum the most; it's really fun with the little sugar rocks. Jasmine green is next. Then oolong which I felt like got a little too bitter as it continued to steep. Main menu: The puffy scallion bubble pancake is unique to Peter Chang restaurants. It's really fun. Gotta eat it fresh. The Peking duck is always a solid choice, and the menu on the table says you can get free soup with it (which you should ask for bc it's good!) Otherwise, I've been enjoying trying different things on the menu - most are good. Dim sum: is excellent and super high quality (a la carte style). For sweet stuff - I strongly recommended the purple sweet potato sesame balls and the black gold salted egg custard buns. For savory - we almost always get the congee with flounder fish. Very comforting. I'm very glad Peter Chang is here in Columbia. Will continue to come often. read more
Went back for round 2 not too long after our first visit and it was just as good if not better than the first time! Luckily we got to go with more friends so we tried more items on the menu. My new favorite is the crispy eggplant!! The service was great too- very quick service !! read more
This location is small but thankfully able to accommodate seating in a reasonable timeframe. The staff are friendly and helpful. My favorite dish is the bamboo fried flounder. The flavors standout from traditional preparations. Everything was flavorful and was served promptly and hot. Other notable items are the shrimp dumplings, fish rolls and lo mein. The bang bang shrimp could have larger shrimp (expect more dough). read more
Great happy hour spot to whine down with friends I had some time to spare and Peter Chang was the only spot that had hh after 6pm and I'm glad that I came. I had the smoke'n' Apple which is a smoked bourbon drink with apple juice and It was blended well. The smokiness added a good taste and It well. Our bartender Dan Dan knew what she was doing!!!!! read more
The staff were very attentive but the food was very underwhelming. Ordered the dan Dan noodles, crispy duck, and shrimp+scallop with peppers. I was expecting authentic Chinese cuisine and was very very disappointed in the flavor (bland) and spice level (level 2 and 3 were comparable to Buffalo sauce). The portions are reasonable to share, but not traditional "family" size. Also, the price point is outrageous. It's pretty pricey which wouldn't be an issue if the food was better or more flavorful. You're pretty much paying for the location factor. Overall, despite the hype, I wouldn't recommend. read more
Came by before a concert at Merriweather Post Pavilion. The restaurant was very conveniently located at a town center not even 10 minutes walking from the venue parking lot/garage. Decor was really nice. Lots of natural light, and comfortable seating. On the smaller side so if you have a large party I'd recommend calling ahead to avoid a wait. We walked in with a party of 4 around 5-6 pm on a Sunday and were seated immediately. Food was delicious! Seemed authentic in my unprofessional opinion lol. Certain dishes have the option to be coated in a Szechuan seasoning that has a numbing effect. Pretty good flavor all in all. My favorite dishes were the crispy pork belly and the shrimp lo mein. Drinks were also great! Got the tropical baiju (Chinese rice liquor if I recall) and a couple of the other baiju drinks. Our server Destiny was attentive and friendly. Explained the menu and specials in detail! Would really recommend checking out Peter Changs if you're in the area or looking for delicious Chinese food. read more
