This location is better than the Arlington one. The food here is pretty good if you eat inside. But carry out I feel like it's not that much food for the price. The Mongolian chicken felt like they filled the entire container with onions, and it's $22. Also if you order take out there is no rice, u have to order it and pay for it. So with places like this, we make rice before hand because I'm not paying for rice. You should try Fahrenheit or Hong Kong palace. Cheaper food for better quantity read more

The food was disappointing- we ended up feeding it to our dog. The shrimp was mushy and tasted freezer burned, the noodles had no flavor. And the filet beef with broccoli was watery with no sauce. Someone didn't drain the broccoli at all and this meal cost $100! Do not order read more

Went in for a quick Sunday lunch and it was excellent! We shared 3 dishes and were quite satisfied by all of the flavors and textures. Our go to at any Chinese restaurant is the string beans. These were nice and spicy and crisp. Szechuan peppercorns possibly added was a delicious surprise. We also ordered a dry pot combination dish which was loaded either many fresh vegetables and had lovely pungent flavors. Yummy. The service was fast and the ambiance was quiet which allowed for easy conversations. Excellent meal! read more

One of Peter Chang's newer outposts in the DMV region. We came here after learning that reservations at Mama Chang were full. Food is quite good and up to standards, bordering on high end. Portions are reasonable but not generous. Not all the staff speaks Chinese, but they were very friendly and helpful when we requested hot water. If you come here with a big group, I think it would be helpful to have a round table with a lazy Susan in the middle so that everyone can access dishes, rather than push 2 rectangular tables together because it becomes a bit tedious to constantly pass the dishes around. However, this restaurant is overall really family friendly. read more

Peter Chang McLean - Attorney general state of Virginia with the chef Peter Chang - Szechuan Near Me - McLean, Virginia

We recommend making a reservation here. Pretty busy. Food: Wow, we order several dishes from the Peking duck, pork string beans, ginger brenzino, honey walnut shrimp, beef chowfun, and soup dumplings. Food comes out hot and ready, they were all seasoned incredibly well, not salty at all, meat were all tender, prawns were massive but perfectly sweet, and the highlight was the duck. Way better than Peking gourmet. Ambiance: The restaurant was clean and spotless, it makes you feel way better on what you're consuming. Service: They were so attentive to us and made sure we always had water, room for all of our food and even how they prepped our food to go was top notch. It was truly a great experience for us and the workers here are super kind. We will be returning! read more

This Peter Chang's is as good as any other - we stopped in for dinner and found a lively atmosphere, lots of people, but not much of a wait. The food came out quickly and the servers were very attentive. I got the Kong Pao Shrimp with Peanuts & Dough Sticks off the Spring Specials menu. Very tasty! Breaded and fried shrimp with lots of veggies and just a hint of Szechuan peppercorns to add some zesty sting. We also got a dish of eggplants and I stole a few bites of a half duck from across the table. All good and tasty! If you're in McLean and craving good Chinese food, stop by Peter Chang's! read more

Ambiance: 10 Service: 10 Food: 10 I love Chinese food, but sometimes it can be quite oily or too saucy. Recently, I discovered Peter Chang in McLean, and it has quickly become one of my favorite places to eat. From the outside, the restaurant appears modest, but inside, it's much larger than expected with a bright and modern motif--a refreshing change from the typical dark hues of many Chinese restaurants. I consider this style of food as elevated Chinese cuisine, perfect for those who appreciate high-quality, delicious dishes. It's great for a date night or for taking out your entire family or a group of friends. If it's your first time, like it was for us, the extensive menu can be a bit overwhelming. Fortunately, the friendly staff are more than happy to make recommendations. After a long day of travel, I was craving something savory but not too oily or spicy, so I started with a cup of pork wonton soup. The broth was soothing to my upset stomach, and the pork wontons were delicious. I could have been happy just with my soup. However, since my husband was with me, we also ordered the sizzling prawns and scallops with chives. Although the dish didn't come out sizzling as its name suggests, it did not disappoint. The scallops and prawns were cooked to perfection, and the chives (or leeks) were a perfect combination with the seafood. We paired this dish with stir-fried baby bok choy, enhanced with garlic flavors and cooked just right. Many restaurants tend to overcook their veggies, but Peter Chang gets it just right. The food was so great that I decided to take a chance with my upset stomach and order something with a bit more spice: the (not so) sizzling chicken with mixed peppers and basil. Oh boy, was it spicy! The dish featured jalapeño and Thai red peppers, and I highly recommend eating it with rice. If you like spicy food, this dish is simply heavenly, offering a great mix of heat, savory, salty, and a splash of acid. We will definitely be coming back. I'm surprised this restaurant isn't ranked higher because if you enjoy good food and excellent service, you can't go wrong with Peter Chang. read more

We came here for lunch at 12:30 on a Sunday and the place was fairly empty. The place used to be House of Fortune, which was an older Chinese restaurant specializing in soup dumplings. They did a really good job redesigning the place. It was very clean and modern. The waiters we had were very attentive. Unfortunately the food was not up to par. The spicy beef tendon & tofu skin was flavorful but we got a tiny portion. The sweet and sour crispy branzino was over cooked and the sauce had no flavor and was too sweet. The dry mustard green braised pork with bun was overly salty and not nearly cooked long enough. The fat on the thinly sliced pork belly was not rendered out. Also they neglected to bring any rice out so we had to ask for it. When we got the check we saw that they charged $1 for each bowl of rice! What Chinese restaurant does this?!? For the prices we paid I was expecting much more from this place. read more

We enjoy Peter Chang's in McLean. Food is always delicious and of high quality, some entrees can be on the oily side but you can ask for use of less oil during preparation. Service is great and ambience is quite nice. Sizzling pepper chicken, dragon eggplant, tofu with bok choy, dumplings and noodles are some of our favs. I would recommend dining in over carry out for optimal experience. read more

Peter Chang is one of the go to spots my family orders from. We usually order a variety of different dishes. This time we ordered some spare ribs, shui zhu beef, chicken with bamboo shoots, and chicken with mushrooms. The food wasn't bad but all tasted a bit too thick and kind of similar to one another. My favorite was the mini spare ribs. read more

Portion size of the smaller dishes was perfect for my wife and I. Good service but would like more interaction with the waitress.

It as a holiday fiasco. They took way too many orders to support a Christmas Eve pickup. We had designated 5:30 and when we finally got our food, it was 7 PM. Given their inability to meter orders and manage this unmitigated disaster, I have to say the staff was amazing with all of the pressure on them. They easily and probably should have been a lot crabbier given the irritated customers standing around waiting for their Christmas Day meals now coming out up to 90 minutes after their supposed order ready time. So the food... first time there and the take out was fantastic. The fried items stayed crisp and it's clear their ingredient quality is high. The Peking Duck was among the best I've had stateside. And how the duck skin was still crispy a half hour later at home, I don't know what sort of magic they did but it worked. The duck was also properly prepared and drained of excess fat so the duck itself was exquisite. They probably deserve 5 stars but given that this is a chain and they've been through more than one holiday season as a company, there is simply no excuse for the order fiasco. I will likely upgrade on a future visit. read more

Online ordering is easy and the preparation time is very fast. But the quality of the dishes I ordered was unimpressive. The spring rolls were oily, and the rice and noodle dished had vey low vegetable content. the flavors were just ok. Expected more based on all the hype I'd heard. read more

High quality fresh Chinese food, It is worth the trip - which for me is across town. The buns were really tasty- I'd go just for them,

Always seems to be busy, and its no wonder why. The food here is simply good. Its located on the lower floor of a two story restaurant setup, and feels like an upscale Chinese restaurant. Service is always friendly, and honestly most of the patrons are too- my kids ended up playing a game with another tables kids while waiting for food. Evey dish I've had there has been great- the scallion pancakes are always in demand, and the different chicken and beef dishes always deliver on flavor. Also highly recommend the purple rice. Its always been a great meal for us. read more

Peter Chang's latest spot is open in McLean, and I highly recommend reservations, because the restaurant is really popular! It took a little while to get a table, simply because of the crush of people picking up takeout orders and a few large parties coming in. But service was pretty speedy and food did not take too long (except, oddly enough, our appetizer, the vegetable dumplings, which came out last). The seafood fried rice was good, the dry pot Mushroom and pork belly was too, but the standout dish was the dragon eggplant, which had a gorgeous presentation (see my photo), and rich flavor, with a healthy kick to it. We are looking forward to our next visit. read more

First class Chinese food. Good service. Only negative was higher prices than typical for Chinese food. But I had lunch and enough leftover for another lunch and dinner. read more

Reservation system was not well managed. There was a 30+ minute wait even with a reservation because kitchen was backed up filling takeout orders. When we finally sat down and ordered (before 7pm) they were out of everything we wanted because the take-out orders cleared them out. This needs to be better managed! read more

We ordered the Chongqing Dry Spicy Red Pepper Chicken, the Grandma Brasied Pork Belly with Tea Eggs and the Cold Dish Platter. This place didn't disappoint and the food was fantastic. If you love spicy, thus is your place. Service was extremely attentive and it was not just the waiter, but the other staff worked hard to meet out needs. My ater was never empty for long. Finally, compared to alot of other Chinese places in the Falls Chirch area (the area closest), the feeling of the room is open, modern and very comfortable. It is a hidden gem in McLean! read more

I don't normally go to Peter Chang chain any more but this one is within walking distance from me so I actually go here from time to time when too busy to cook. Their weekly special (on their website and could order online and pickup only) normally has better value compared to in-house price. They also have an AYCE tapas (small plates of main courses or dim sum) 11am-3pm Mon to Thurs, but the variety/selection was not as good as the Herdon/Gaithersburg/Bethesda store although a few bucks cheaper, and more importantly overseasoned/too salty the time I tried. Convenient for me, sure, but will I beat the crowds to dine in, probably not. read more

Food was decent as was the service and I would come again with friends but I have alternatives where I can find better versions of what we ate here. The peking duck was pretty good and gives my other options a run for their money but I do feel like maybe my usual place leaves the bones and extra meat so I feel like I'm getting more there for similar pricing. I would skip the walnut shrimp but the fried dumplings were intriguing. I wish there were more. The chow fun was pretty good. It's an easy spot to meet as a group given the space and there's even a small parking lot attached with some street parking. We got lucky and didn't have to wait long for a spot. The staff was very accommodating for a group reservation that also included a child. Overall, it was decent but maybe I had too high of expectations given the raving I often hear associated with the brand. It was my first time. I would be curious to try other dishes. read more

This is one of a few PC family restaurants in the area. I like to think of this Chinese food as fresher, higher quality, more vegetables and more creative than the typical Chinese restaurant. The food is very good and is highly recommended. Located in an old, yes old building but the inside is refreshed and clean and comfortable than the previous dingy looking Chinese restaurant previously located here I have only done take out but have returned again and again and maybe, yes....again and again . It's worthy. Pad Thai, kung pao, sesame beef and many other yummy dishes are recommended. I think the salt is a bit much but otherwise flavors are great. Parking is a bit of a challenge and be sure NOT to park in adjoining lot- you will get towed (read the signs!!). read more

We stopped by here on the way home, and the food was amazing!! It is a little salty but it is closer to authentic Chinese food. We will definitely be back. The service was wonderful, the staff was so nice and kept my toddler entertained. We loved the ambience too, it was very clean with a modern Chinese look and feel. This will probably be our new go-to Chinese restaurant! read more

This is probably the 10th Peter Chang location I ever been to w the orig one I had frequented in Richmond about 100 times as it was our fav yrs ago. The dry fried eggplant and bamboo dish (both very similar seasonings) were Fanta and signature dish as well other locations. It's suppose to be spicy but dialed down for the general public so it's a tad bit spicier than Tobasco sauce which is fairly mild in my book. Service was great too. A super tray was that they had xlb, aka soup dumplings. Fantastic and ran a bit larger than normal. And served with black vinegar and slivers of ginger as they do at the Michelin star Ding Tai Fung--skin is fairly thin and seems to be handmade and tasted great! We also ordered the full duck (they have an option for a half duck if only a few dining) as there were 4 of us--very crispy and tasty. Clearly rendered for some time as it had that puff from the meat to skin. Pancakes were homemade as at Peking Gourmet Inn. Another fav. The scallop and shrimp w asparagus was yummy and mild to balance the other flavors. I took that from several other helpers and they were spot on. But then the other classic dishes all were fair to middling--the highly recommended wagyu with kung pao. Tiny morsels of wagyu swimming in an amateur sweet sauce w soggy overcooked veggies. Strange that a chef that made the other dishes allowed for this disaster. And to add insult to injury, it was nearly double the price of the other dishes. So all in all, I think sticking to the classic Szechuan dishes may be the way to go next time and also w the duck. Side note: Ambience was weirdly like Mama Changs in Fairfax, which is a different Chang enterprise. Overall serene and nice. Totally not crowded on the Sun brunch time we were here. read more

Great news! You don't have to drive to Arlington to eat at Peter Chang's anymore! They have opened up a new location where House of Fortune used to be. We started with the spicy shrimp dumplings which were excellent. Very spicy. We also had the duck egg rolls which my husband enjoyed. They are known for their duck so I thought we should order these. My husband ordered creamy walnut chicken which he thought was okay, but will probably order something different next time. I order the Kung pao chicken as that is my favorite Chinese dish. It tasted more fresh and had more vegetables than what you would get at a chain restaurant. The chicken is dark meat. The service was excellent. The restaurant was very clean and nicely appointed. We also enjoyed the fact that my husband and I could hear each other talk. I am so glad that we have a locally owned Chinese restaurant in McLean! read more

Good service excellent different obese food great ribs Good veggies with brown sauce and chicken sweet and sour. Huge portions.

This is a great Chinese restaurant that has authentic Chinese food. They have spicy and non/spicy dishes. Both taste equally impressive. I particularly like their spicy dishes because they are not too as greasy as other restaurants' spicy dishes. Service is friendly and great. The ambience is casual and warm. The best Peter Chang in this area. read more
