Took a group from my work for dinner and really enjoyed the whole experience. The place is huge and given It was a Monday evening, it wasn't crowded so we picked our own table. Service was quick, but the best part was that their portions are huge! We indulged as much as we could but still were unable to finish any of the dishes. I ordered the Basil Chicken Szechuan style and it was very flavorful. Some colleagues order the Mountain chicken, which was like a dried version of kung pao chicken, again a bit sweet yet flavorful. The prices are reasonable given the size of the dishes, so if you are in the mood for Chinese food and are very hungry, this is the place to go! read more

Took the family to have dinner here on a Thursday night definitely nice little place. Resturant has been in my town for about 56 years now and last night was the first time I actually heard of them so we decided to try them out weight staff was very nice and helpful even though it wasn't really packed with people, but they were very attentive and helpful Meals come out as family style very large plates. We were able to get five different large plates so everyone can enjoy the food was good. If you're looking for a sit down restaurant Chinese food this is probably the place to go. read more

Peter Chang's a popular Chinese restaurant chain in the mid-Atlantic near Washington D.C. I was surprised to discover they had a location as far north as Connecticut, so i stopped in. The restaurant is pretty nice, and looks quite modern. The menu is very similar to their other locations, they serve Szechuan Chinese food. I usually get the same things, a protein such as fish, chicken, or pork, tossed with Szechuan spices and peppers. The food is delicious, though most of the items I order taste very similar. Prices are fair, definitely worth stopping if you're in the area and enjoy spicy Chinese food. read more

Best modern, authentic Chinese restaurant in Stamford. A good balance of dishes that appeal to more Western tastes and traditional dishes. Service is friendly & attentive when you dine-in and quality is still really good if you order takeout. A huge win in the Stamford food scene. The photos look as good as it tastes. read more

Probably the best Chinese restaurant in Stamford. We visited the restaurant for lunch. We got scallion pancake to share, and it was delicious, served with a very tasty dipping sauce. My main dish was Kung Pao chicken. It was excellent, very tasty and what was the most important for me, it was spicy as advertised. In most of other places, the dishes are marked as "hot" but offer little or no heat. Here, the dish was marked " very spicy" and that how it was. Very good service, prompt and friendly. Recommended. read more

def wasn't a fan of their orange or whatever it's call chicken but at least it wasnt filled with batter as most other places would do. it looked like orange dooodoo. It wasn't crispy and def didn't look good. but here it is.. the only asian here is probably the chef who owns the joint in the back. otherwise it's the locals that work here. read more

I don't know when I was here last.. It was pre-pandemic when my son was toddling around the place and it reeked of disinfectant so badly that I was overcome by both the smell and the irrational new parent fear it was harming my child. Anyway, fast forward 6 years and I can confidently say this place gets Chinese food right. After years of such bad, overly greasy Chinese food in the state of CT, I say try here. Which might be saying much but 5 stars for what I recently had, as PC is one of the better ones. read more

It was pretty decent! We ordered to go. The steamed pork dumplings with sauce of the side were quite good! Chicken lo mein was also tasty. The duck was rather disappointing as it was very greasy and the sauce was thick and odd. Overall okay. read more

Brown rice was too hard. Fish was too spicy, 80% of this was just spice and 10% fish and the soup tasted like hand sanitizer expect hand sanitizer taste better than this. Never come here unless you're a white American who has only ever ate Panda Express. If you want Chinese food don't go to Peter Chang. read more

It's a 'go to' for us. While we wish there was just a bit more variety (especially dim sum and soups , if you like spicy you won't go wrong here. Our favorite is the spicy basil chicken. read more

The food at Peter Chang is actually pretty good, but the atmosphere is awful. None of the staff are Asian so they don't know the cuisine and can't answer basic questions. The music is generally rap or hip hop - nothing that you'd expect from a Chinese restaurant. On the TV's tonight was boxing. it's just bad! Next door the new soup dumping restaurant from flushing opened and it's packed, the service was great and the atmosphere authentic! Peter Chang sat empty. You'd think it's the same clientele but Peter change does nothing to attract customers. I hear they are moving to a new location - not sure why if they don't fix its authenticity problem! read more

This is my favorite Szechuan style Chinese restaurant in Fairfield County. No need to go to Queens! One of the other things that I value about this restaurant is the consistency. Each time we dine here I get exactly what I anticipate, meeting all of those mouth numbing Szechuan flavors I crave. My very favorite dishes arethe CHONGQING fried chicken and the bamboo flounder fish. I appreciate that they serve Dan Dan noodles without pork which is a rarity. The dragon eggplant eggplant in spicy garlic sauce with firm tofu is also outstanding. Although the bar will attempt to accommodate, I find that they lack in variety limiting your choices for cocktails. Parking is annoying as it's under the Stamford mall. The ambience is decent with banquette seating and tables with a small bar. Warmer months allowed for outdoor seating but the view isn't so great. Service is always excellent. Each server is well-versed on the menu, food comes out, fast and hot. And I've never had the experience where I had to send anything back. Overall a great experience. read more

Food was pretty good. The waiter was extremely nice and helpful. The restaurant was very nice inside.

I had thought that Peter Chang was a mediocre chain Chinese restaurant probably because it has a similar name to one. While it has several locations in different states, the food here is pretty good. This restaurant serves Szechuan food but also have other Chinese dishes including Americanized Chinese. I order two lunch specials, mongolian beef and hot & numbing flounder. I expected the Mongolian beef to be sweeter. There were a lot of onions. It is a bit spicy and was too salty. Not bad if it wasn't so salty. I was surprised by the size of the hot and numbing flounder. It was in a quart sized container with a pint of rice on the side! The flavor was very good with a good amount of fish. Despite the name the spice level is not that bad if you don't eat the peppers. Under the layer of hot oil and pepper flakes, the soup below is not spicy. Delicious dish which I highly recommend. read more

Ordered dinner here and they didn't even get the order right, disappointing to say the least.

Came by for lunch and was not disappointed. When we started, it was a bit cold and they brought a cup of hot and sour soup. This was not your father's soup. It is full of good stuff but it was actually hot too. Very spicy. And then we went for soup dumplings. Really enjoyed them with a good amount of soup broth and good pork meat inside. Very flavorful and fresh. Not too heavy on the dumpling. I then went with shredded pork which wasn't too spicy and enough for leftovers too. Lots of meat and vegetables. Spice was not overwhelming. Price was right and service was efficient. Overall, a winning combination. read more

I am writing this review based on other Peter Chang restaurants I've been to, my food experience, and my overall experience. I love Momofuku!! Let's just say that I was expecting much more. Our family of 7 went there for a family dinner....reservations recommended to get good seating!! We did not have reservations and had to split between 2 tables. First off, the menu is huge!! I find it very hard to pick from so many dishes and options. I wish my Taiwanese friend was with me because she would have taken care of the ordering! Instead, I used some Yelp reviews to narrow it down. I didn't want to order the usual things and instead wanted a Szechuan experience. Here are our favorites: Pork soup dumplings!!! Super YUM! Szechuan chili wontons! Dan Dan noodles and Scallion bubble pancake were a hit too. Our kids liked the Black Pepper beef, shredded pork in spicy garlic sauce, fried rice, and Lo mein. The Szechuan chili chicken was good but that spice is REAL! I can handle spice but this was too much for me to really enjoy the dish. And, it had so many small dried red chilis that it was hard to separate them out to eat only the chicken....too much work! I was sweating and panting. Lastly, there was one dish that was just not good at all: Hot & numbing flounder stone pot...the flavor was just terrible so neither my husband nor I ate it. When the staff came to pick it up, they noticed we did not eat it and the manager took it off our bill....that was super nice of them and they didn't have to do that. I liked having the pictures on the menu because we primarily choose items based on them. If the menu could be condensed, I would prefer that, as well as a small list of specials or rotating dishes. At this point, I would not go back and I'm not happy that this is how it ended. At least our kids enjoyed the dinner!! It might be a good idea to order more general dishes. read more

Decided to try Peter Chang for lunch today. Very disappointed. The "three pepper chicken" was chicken and onions in a sweet brown sauce, with a tiny amount of green pepper and basil. The Kung Pao chicken also did not seem properly spiced. I wish I had had the presence of mind to pay the bill, leave, and need somewhere else, instead of putting this glop into my body out of politeness. We brought our toddler in a stroller, and the non-revolving doors all seemed locked, so we had to wander around looking for an entrance before a member of the staff decided to let us in. The dumplings and hot and sour soup seemed all right. read more

It received 4/5 stars so we thought we should try it. The service was surprisingly good, but the food was so fast food, chain-like.

An Absolute go to for Chinese as long as I'm living in CT !!! They say they don't use MSG and I believe them because I don't get acid reflux or a stomach ache after I eat. Not to mention, I'm not hungry after I eat. Weird but with msg, it keeps you hungry. This place is good delivery but I prefer to pick it up seems just better and fresher. I would eat here too if we lived closer and parking wasn't an issue. Definitely one of the best Chinese food I've had Solid 4.5 stars! read more

Pleasantly surprised! Unlike many other places in Stamford, this Asian spot really delivers with flavor. Although the atmosphere is average, the food is extremely flavorful, savory and spicy. My new spot. Try the noodles and chili wantons, so good. read more

Food was overly salty and expensive! I wish Stamford had a decent hole in the wall take out place.

We've been here twice so far and had delivery twice. All different plates and each one more amazing than the last. Love the crispy pork bellies and flounder bamboo basket. Tried all is the starters. And all were delicious. Location is also great as I'm a regular at the comedy club. Recommend without a doubt. read more

I ordered three items for takeout: General Tso's chicken, Dan Dan Noodles, and Pork Dumplings. The dumplings were the best part. The chicken was nothing to write home about and was pretty expensive (I know, what do I expect from a mall restaurant). It was disappointing as a "bestseller" - I wanted crispy general tso's like I've gotten from Ren Dumpling House in Norwalk. Instead I got a soggy, saucy mess that was pretty bland. The Dan Dan noodles were pretty bland and could've used the traditional ground pork to liven it up. The dumplings weren't crispy despite being pan-fried but they packed a lot of flavor. Overall it wasn't worth it and I won't be coming back. Instead I suggest you try local Chinese if you're new to the area like me. There's gotta be something at least as good and less pricey. read more

Just moved to Stamford and had bookmarked this place. Was on my way back from Norwalk and since it's easy from 95, decided to pick up some lunch for takeout. Service was pleasant and efficient (I was there early, 11:30am; however, with only one waiter on im sure it could get hectic.) Ordered the Wuhei sesame noodles which are excellent. Got the lunch special Szechuan Chili beef... first bite very fatty but the rest really good and spicy. Good overall. read more

We ended up here unplanned on our way back to NY from Amherst. We were the first customers when they opened in the evening for dinner. Our server was attentive most of the time, and showed up right away when we called out. LOL. The food was tasty. Good portion size. Loved the Dan Dan Noodles, really good flavors. Was our best dish. Three Pepper Chicken was spicy and not too over powering. We requested it to be prepared a bit spicy. Dragon Eggplant (we requested to add soft tofu) was also pretty good. Presentation was nice. Overall, we would come back again if we were in the area. read more

This place was absolutely amazing! We were visiting from out of state and had a hankering for some good Asian food. We did a search and saw this place had some great reviews so we thought we would give it a shot and man we are so glad we did. The food was so on point and delicious we couldn't ask for better. The server never let our waters be empty. And the atmosphere was so elegant. The steamed dumplings were so perfectly prepared it left us wanting more. We also had the golden mountain chicken (which was so amazing and mouth watering), the black pepper beef (so well seasoned) and the chicken lo mein (which was amazing as well). We highly recommend this place to anyone that passes through and will definitely go again if we are in the area again read more

I first tried Peter Chang's in Charlottesville, Virginia and had no idea who he was at the time. If you don't know either, take 2 minutes and Google his name. Peter Chang has built up quite the enigmatic reputation of opening up highly successful restaurants in seemingly random locations and then moving on after some time without much reason. However, wherever he goes he build up a group of devoted fans because his food is DELICIOUS. Despite the façade of the restaurant, which probably confuses many people into thinking this is closer to a P.F. Chang's, the food is amazing, authentic while still being quite affordable. If you've never tried Szechuan food be prepared for the SPICE, not just in terms of raw heat, but the numbing peppercorns which are a whole new experience in themselves. Make sure to try the dry fried eggplant! read more

We had an excellent lunch at Peter Chang today. We started with the lettuce wrapped chicken, lettuce was slightly brown at the edges. Then we had two fabulous dishes, stir fried green beans in our sauce with onions, Red Pepper, and Sichuan pepper; and kung pao chicken and a beautiful sauce with cashews, asparagus, onion, and red pepper. We also had brown rice. We had great service, the food came out fast, and it was all really really good. read more

Located right next to the mall. When I came across this restaurant, I had a fear of it being a chain restaurant and therefore unauthentic. Don't be confused, there's no relation between PF Chang's and Peter Chang. The food came out super quick and they didn't skimp out on the portion size. My waitress was slow and not attentive but you can quickly flag someone else to take care of you. I recommend you coming with a larger party so you can sample a few dishes. But if not, the two plates I tried are delicious. I got the Dry fried string bean and Chang's hot and numbing combination. The reason why I chose the latter is because you get a bit of everything - a perfect harmony of beef, chicken, shrimp, and flounder fillet seasoned with Szechuan spices. I also insist you get white rice instead of brown, it pairs better. I love Szechuan food! If you come here you have to order it spicy! read more

The food is always consistently great here. The service is also a plus and they make sure you feel welcome. The one issue I have is that they have recently started cleaning off tables with a bleach cleaner when a group leaves. I'm all for cleaning but wish they would use a non-bleach sanitizing spray as the bleach is veryyy prominent and makes for an unpleasant stench for a bit of time. read more
