The takeout site for this place (a different website than most Peter Chang locations) states that if you order from the wrong location, you're out of luck. So check carefully. This one is in Richmond proper. The menus are generally similar but a little bit different at each. I got a cabbage dish that you often see at these restaurants as well as a kung pao tofu that I don't recall ordering before. Their interpretation of the tofu was distinctive, with a zingy flavor redolent of cooking wine and asparagus as well as the more typical bell peppers and peanuts. The cabbage is uncommonly delicious the way they prepare it. The price was kind of high for two takeout vegetable dishes, but the quality was about what I'd hoped. read more

Service was great and quick as I needed for lunch. Everything came out in order and quick. Everything was full of flavor, a little on the salty side, but normal for a double cooked dish. Quiet atmosphere for lunch, but several people in there with accolades on the walls as you walk in. read more

Good lawd, bless it. I went here a few YEARS ago and everything was great. I just moved back into the area and ordered delivery tonight and I don't know what's has happened since I've been gone... but this was AWFUL. Everything has this taste and after taste of burnt rubber. We aren't able to eat any of this. This is absolutely disgusting. And why do the little crispies for the wonton soup taste like cheese curds?!?! read more

Dont know why this place has as low reviews as it does. Being from New Orleans that has very little Szechuan Chinese food, I have to say that this place is amazing. We came with a group of friends and ordered almost every dish on the menu and each was fantastic in its own way. The service was as great as the food. I will be back. read more

Peter Chang is a solid spot (both locations). The Scot's Addition location had a friendly waitstaff, a beautiful interior, and fast service. I ordered the Szechuan double cooked Chicken. There was a great portion size and it was well-made. The only thing I can say that is negative is that the parking situation is difficult as it is on Broad nearby a busy intersection and other popular businesses. You may have to walk a little bit! read more

Peter Chang - (Lunch) Szechuan Double Cooked Chicken - Szechuan Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Peter Chang's has been around for quite a while, and it's still one of my favorite places to get Chinese food, especially to dine in. The Scotts Addition space is warm and inviting, and was not crowded when we dropped in on a Thursday evening. Our food was quite good; the only complaint is that they brought everything out at once rather than appetizers first. Appetizers: The pork fried dumplings are tender and flavorful. Not too doughy, and accompanied by two dipping sauces. The fish rolls were excellent. Light, crispy, with a savory fish filling. So satisfying. For entrees we got dry fried shredded chicken (so tasty and unique), shredded duck, and three pepper beef. The chicken was the star - crispy strip of chicken delicately seasoned. The duck dish was good, but probably not the best way to order duck. The three pepper beef was spicy and fragrant. We left full and happy and will pop in again next time we have a yen for Chinese. read more

Walked in on a Saturday afternoon and got seated immediately. It was not that busy. With relaxing slow jazz in the background, the ambiance was great. Service was quick. Our server Zifan was nice. Food was alright. Combination lomein, pan fried pork dumplings, and Golden Mountain chicken were okay. Crispy pork belly was dry and it tasted funky/weird/gamey. Overall, food was not bad but not the best either. read more

We popped in on a whim after seeing a sign outside that advertised Happy Hour! To our surprise the place was pretty empty. We were greeted and seated in a booth. The hostess informed us that the Happy hour specials were eligible at all seating areas in the restaurant and not just the bar. Several waitresses made eye contact but no one ever came to our table. We sat down for a little over 10 minutes before we decided to leave. As I mentioned earlier the place was empty. This was a really disappointing first impression of this restaurant. read more

Fast service and kind server. We came less than an hour before close (I try to not do this if I can help it) but the food was ordered and out within 10 minutes! Very warm and plenty of food. We both upgraded our spice and they use fresh peppers to bring more heat to the dishes. I liked all the veggies in my lomein and the spring rolls were great. There's also a cute interior with red lamps and wall decor. read more

Looking for an early bite, the fam and I hit up Peter Chang at happy hour. The half price dim sum and small plates gave us the opportunity to sample so many tasty dishes! A surprise favorite was the numbing tofu skin. The sauce covering the tofu skin was delicious and the fresh herbs provided a nice counterpoint. Next up was human fish, which is my must order at Peter Chang. The spice and sweetness balanced each other well and the pea pods were perfectly crisp. We also enjoyed the diced Szechuan shrimp and the dry fried broccoli. The broccoli was probably our least favorite, but it wasn't bad. Our server was so friendly and efficient and the atmosphere was just right- reminiscent of an old school Chinese restaurant while serving food that was anything but. Love this place anytime, but especially happy hour! read more

The place came recommended by a local who knows how much new yorkers love Chinese / Asian food. It was very nice inside. The food was very delicious. We started with pork belly which had a very interesting texture, not your traditional taste of texture. Loved it but it was a lot for two people. We shared the chicken dish, very tasty and lots of black pepper. Another great choice. I would give food 8/10 read more

Meh. We went to the Broad Street location. Kids everywhere. Loud kids, whose parents did nothing to shut them up. We got the pepper beef and spicy diced chicken. The beef was ok, just violently overpriced but the chicken was greasy. Panda Express would've been easier. We tried to go back for Xmas 2025. Same experience, kids bouncing around everywhere. If the bar would've been open, we would've stayed. read more

First time at this location. They weren't busy so We were seated within a minute of entering the restaurant. The table was clean. The music was not too loud and created just the right vibe. The food came out in excellent time and it was delicious. I even purchase some of their garlic chili sauce. A great dining experience. read more

I was so disappointed in my experience here. We ordered the wonton soup, it tasted very chemically and not fresh. The Hunan chicken had an enormous amount of salt that made it uncomfortable to even eat, and not a lot of flavor. The dish was too oily. The fried veggie spring rolls tasted frozen. We ended up paying over 70 dollars for an incredibly underwhelming meal. The server was very kind and gave quick service. The ambiance of the space was gorgeous and warm, it's just a shame that the food was so gross. read more

Yeah man this is it man. This is the place man. The pork belly? Now that's what I'm talking about. Servers are hella chill. Red is my favorite color. It's really red in there. Good ambiance read more

The ambiance was as you'd expect, kinda Asian American fusion in a Richmond kinda way. It wasn't super busy when we got there but quickly picked up with some families and some couples. The service was friendly but our server didn't know a lot about the menu and neither did we since it was our first time. She was nice though. Drinks came quickly from the bar. Food was just ok. Potstickers were good, kung pow was ok. Spice level was surprisingly nice and hot. Overall, we won't be back, it wasn't our vibe and not really to our taste. read more

My friend took me here, and I found the food and service to be outstanding. We had two small platters to start: the bamboo fish and dry fried eggplant. With the first bite, I was hooked -- and I normally hate eggplant! Nice amount of heat. Very flavorful. For my entree, I got the beef with onion and chili pepper. Once again, it was deliciously spicy. Meanwhile, our waitress was very attentive and pleasant. All in all, I can't recommend Peter Chang highly enough. Especially if you like spicy foods! read more

The food was delicious. All of our entrees were hot, fresh, and delicious. We returned again the same week because it was so good. The wonton soup is very flavorful. Staff was also very friendly and helpful. The aesthetic is perfect and the facility appears very clean. The only things we would have changed were that the spring rolls were kind of cold, and we found the soup dumplings lacking. The soup dumplings stuck to the leaves and tore apart while trying to eat them. We highly recommend and will return in the future. read more

It's horrible. Starts with ownership and it filters down into management and it's staff. No level of teamwork. No level of any customer service or quality guest satisfaction. It doesn't deserve the right to put peter chang name on the front. Disrespecting that man's name. Just go in there and you'll feel an off vibe about that place. Chick-fil-A gives you better customer service. At least at Chick-fil-A I can get my drinks refill and a manager coming by the table to check on you with a smile. Food is ok. If you have orange chicken on the menu. How authentic is that place. read more

I loved everything I ordered via DoorDash. It's rare for me to enjoy every items I've ordered so here I am gushing. The fried rice and bang bang shrimp were excellent. Both were seasoned just right. I was particularly thrilled by how nicely spicy the fried rice tasted. It had abundant shrimp buried on the bottom. The picture doesn't really show nor does it do much justice. The fried eggplants were also delicious. It was fried similarly to tempura so it just melted in mouth. The bang bang shrimp were covered in just the right amount of batter and sauce. It wasn't too sickly sweet or sour. I wouldn't mind ordering again. read more

Really was a letdown when you're one of the few places that offers beef chow fun, and there's all but five small pieces of beef for $18. Enormous waste of money. Also, really bland. Cheng Du was far better. read more

I came here to hang out with friends I hadn't seen in years, anddd it was a great idea. I visited a different location a week before and it was great, so seeing the difference was a good way to gauge whether there was a consistent flavor across the franchise. The staff was warm and friendly, even though we arrived an hour before closing. It started raining soon after our arrival and a little drama happened outside, but they made sure everyone was safe inside the restaurant. We ordered Hunan shrimp (a little heavy on the soy sauce), fried dumplings, golden mountain chicken and, Golden mountain beef. The Shrimp was absolutely delicious, and the fried rice accompanying it was tasty too. My friends raved about their dishes and even ordered an extra to take-home for later. Only issue was the server forgot to bring the appetizer out first, the requested sauces, my friend's pot of tea, and the other friend's to go dish (he got it in before the kitchen closed, better late than never). Glad to know there is some good Chinese food in the area after a few long time places closed. I'll be back. read more

3.5/5 Overall, I would return again! Peter Chang markets itself as Asian Fusion and obviously those restaurants tend to be more Americanized but it had a good vibe. Only in Richmond would you have Lana Del Rey blasting in a restaurant at a volume more appropriate for a bar than eating dim sum but no complaints. My expectations were low (Richmond has very mediocre Asian offerings after living in NOVA, I'm sorry) but the chicken buns as an appetizer were amazing. I had hot tea served in a glass beer stein which honestly did annoy me because I couldn't sip it until our meal was almost over. My partner got the pork belly which was not spicy at all but again, didn't expect authentic spice level. The fermented black bean sauce however was true Fuijan style and incredible. I got the golden mountain beef which was good but the sauce was extremely sweet and being prediabetic I didn't want to finish it because I was worried my sugar would spike. I feel like the menu could have definitely been more descriptive about ingredients etc but also I should have asked our server so that did suck. Not perfect but good food and really good portions! Definitely will be back to try other things on the menu read more

My friend and I stopped by Peter Chang for a small dinner during our trip to Richmond. It was snowing that night and I really appreciated them being open! We shared the veggie spring rolls and Basil Eggplant in Clay Pot. Since we weren't the hungriest, it was the perfect portion for us, but I would recommend getting a second dish if you're looking for more. The sauce that the eggplant was in was so flavorful! I loved it. Service was friendly and great. read more

This is the best Chinese I have had in a really long time. A must stop by if you are around Richmond. We would love the chef consider open a location in New Jersey read more

Food is hit or miss ... Hispanics in the kitchen , not familiar with Asian cuisine [ specifically the way Peter Chang himself would prepare it ] the manager attempts to cook ( his cooking is terrible ) and it's not very good ! Employee turnover is obvious . Peter Changs brand is not being presented . Items removed from menu [ cooks not capable of making dish ie ... Bubble pancake ] . Restaurant is " dusty and dirty " . Light fixtures hanging over tables are " disgusting " . Fixtures, ( throughout ) dirty . Overall , WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ... Scott's Addition read more

Great food! After living in Chengdu, China for two years, I can say that Peter Changs offers authentic fare.

We ordered the bang bang shrimp, general tso's chicken, ginger duck and mapo tofu. The bang bang shrimp and general tso's chicken used the same sauce. They were very Americanized (think orange red sweet and sour sauce) and the quality of the chicken and shrimp were sub par. The same goes for the duck and the tofu. Duck had a day old taste to it and was not fresh. Mapo tofu was not spicy at all. Would not recommend. This place over priced for the quality and taste of food. Very very disappointed. read more

3 stars for the veg spring rolls they were crisp & very good dipped in the duck sauce & the delivery on the food was extremely fast! I did attend during lunch so it was a small crowd present on my arrival! I was seated in the area alone & then i just didn't appreciate the service as much! The low mein came out faster than my drink as if it's a buffet in the back! Taste wise .. ehhhh , the noodles were overcooked i had to had extra duck sauce for a better delivery ! But not that surprised again i barely waited for the food to be done! Okay experience Price goes with portion (about 2 sitting) Had a lemonade which wasn't good at all (like they don't clean the filter) very sugary I took a sip & didn't finish Nice interior Very clean read more

Good...given the options around. I am a huge fan of Chinese cuisine, and especially Szechuan Chinese food. I ordered hot and sour soup, which was peppery but good, and their Kung Pao Tofu which was nothing special, but fine; it could have used more sauce. I lastly ordered their scallion (bubble) pancake, and although it looked great, it didn't tasted good; the "pancake" was bland and sauce that it came with (turmeric something) was off. This dish was more for looks than taste; it reminded me of Indian Puri and chutney, which I wasn't expecting. As for service, that too was also okay. We came an hour before they closed and they were rushed, and I felt it. Their prices were also pretty high. Overall, for all things considered - vibe, service, quantity and quality - this restaurant is average. Perhaps compared to their competitors in the area, they are a better option, but compared to good Szechuan Chinese food, they are very average. read more

This place is just not good. I'm a chinese food fanatic and this place just does not do it. I've tried the orange chicken and sweet and sour chicken on two separate occasions. The chicken has no flavor.. none. Not even the sauce helps. The prices are too high. Presentation is nice but that is all. Save your coins. read more

Went here a couple years ago and then got a take out a couple months ago. The scallion pancakes were great, very filling. The roasted lamb rack was grilled to perfection, juicy and crispy. Take out was very smooth, food was great - the duck with fried onions, the seafood pot went so well with the rice, the spicy pork really kicked my taste buds in the mouth. All reasonably priced, family style dishes. read more

The food was not very good. We ordered the vegetable friend rice, which was basically just fried rice with a few morsels of vegetable, and the chicken lo mein. It was basic and not very tasty. The friend rice was very salty. The service was good (fast and polite) and the decor was pretty. Will not return and would not recommend.

Been eating here for a couple years now. Crispy Pork Belly and Crispy Spicy Chicken are very delicious with the perfect amount of spiciness, they pair well with white or fried rice.
