Pei Wei

First timer over at the pei Wei. Wasn’t exactly an Hyd straunt. Service was pretty Hyd but the food kinda stunk. Was on par with low expectations but that orange shrimp Joint I ordered wasn’t a Howzit move doe. Either way we thought of aprons and vape pens for charity which was a chill idea. 2 stars doe for the pei way diner.

Can we please get some better management in here!!! Such a shame the pei wei with the worst service is in the best part of Scottsdale! Stacey helped me today, and she was horrific! I was waiting in line, and she went to help the last person in line first… don’t you help the next person in line… I paid, and instead of grabbing my to go order, she starts helping the next person. Can we finish with me and then help the next customer??? I then look at my order to see there’s no greens in my pad thai as it should have, so I asked for a side of cilantro since my meal was missing green onions and cilantro… she went back and grabbed it and then embarrassingly told me in front of everyone in the future to order side items when placing my order instead of asking for it when they’re busy. I think she may have been the manager, and if so she needs some ethic and management training!!!

We don’t have Pei Wei in northern California so when I’m visiting AZ or SoCal I make it a goal to stop at a Pei Wei somewhere. Yes, I’m addicted to the kung pao chicken and I’m proud to admit it. I’ve been eating at Pei Wei for the past 10 years and have never deviated from my order. Crazy huh?
Here’s why it’s a solid option. It’s quick, flavorful and all the proteins are cooked in a wok with a ton of oil :) Flash frying in a pan, yessssss please! As I mentioned above, I only ever order the kung pao chicken and it’s consistently great across all the locations. I’ve never just had an OK kung pao. It comes with a ton of white meat chicken, carrots, snow peas, brown rice and a great sauce. I would recommend ordering the extra vegtables too (mostly broccoli).
I’m in AZ for the next few days and I gauruntee that I’ll be getting some more kung pao before I bounce. Boom.

So when someone says I want Lo mein vegetarian for my life long veggie kid, and I come back up and say this tastes like fish. And they reply with «oh next time order it with out oyster sauce that we add in.» It’s like I said I wanted Lo Mien made fucking vegetarian!
I’m sorry I did not walk back to your kitchen and test every bottle of sauce at a lab to see its ingredients, and tell you what to leave out! If I order 3 vegetarian meals for my family on a lunch break it may be I don’t want dead shit in our food.
I took the untouched plate up and put it on the counter.
They came back and offered to remake it. Sorry I have to get back to work… I don’t have time to wait. Oh ok well next time order it with out the sauce we add in“
Next time what a fucking joke. Where’s my refund for you getting my order wrong? Next time. That’s priceless. I have been here once before and I promise you I won’t be back.
Condescending arrogant staff, know your job. Or give me your pay check and I’ll do it for you!
Don’t waste your time or money at this place. I’m sure their are a billion other places who will

Pei Wei is a chain Chinese restaurant that’s pretty standard! Im giving it a 3 star because the food is nothing special but I think it’s a great concept if you want a fast take out restaurant!

We had a hankering for some Chinese Fusion, and PeiWei indicated gluten free options… verrrrrryyyy limited gluten free options, as it turns out (do you want sweet chicken or spicy chicken? — ok or edamame, or, IIRC, two other appetizers).
I still like the orange peel chicken pretty well, and they have the cool Coke Freestyle machines, so you can get your Lime Coke fix).
(It’s also nice to sit on the patio during the shoulder seasons.)

I received excellent customer service from Jason at lunch today. He maintained a cool head under the pressure of the lunchtime rush. There was a question about my rewards membership and he was able to get me the answers I needed. His efficiency and pleasant demeanor made my lunchtime experience very enjoyable!

Cool spot located near my hotel. I knew I was going to be stuck with American food for a couple days so I needed my rice fix.
Clean, bright, and beautifully decorated. It has a very modern and city-​like feel.
Order your meat, choose rice or noodles, take a seat, and wait for your order to come. I ordered the Mongolian beef dish with edamame on the side. The beef slices were good but the sauce was a little too sweet for me. I was hoping something with heat. The cool thing with the edamame was that the salt was on the side so you get to keep this healthy option healthy.
A good choice for something cheap, fairly quick, and decent.

Pei Wei is nothing short of awesomeness!
Great food, quick service, well priced, inviting ambiance, trained courteous staff… can go on! We absolutely love celebrating our family occasions here. Love it!

There was an issue with my lunch because of it I would normally give them a one star. However their manger Kevin was awesome and handled it ever well. If and that’s a strong if I go back it will only because of his awesome service

I walked in thinking it looks like a better version of the fast food Chinese places and it sure is… Way better. The place is clean and has a separate counter for pick up orders. You can order online and customization is simple. They offer reward points for every purchase.
The food is good and filling. You can order a small or a large bowl depending on your appetite. Its a great place for a quick Lunch or to go if you are in the mood for some Chinese fast food. I love their Entrees especially the sweet and sour, mongolian and thai dynamite. The entrees are served with white/​brown Rice or Noodles. You can pick your proteins and customize what vegetable goes into your bowl. They also have a ton of sushi and salads to choose from.
And Yes, they have outdoor seating!

We thought we would visit Pei Wei after a year or so of not being happy with their new menu and poor quality food. It’s a Tuesday night and the place is totally empty. It used to be packed. We really feel it’s gone down hill. About 10 years ago we loved to dine here. All their dishes were tasty. Tonight the Potsticker were dry and over cooked. Honey seared chicken blah and ginger broccoli was way too salty with no flavor Even the quality of napkins and fortune cookies have gone down hill. What’s up Pei Wei? Thumbs down. Not sure we will come back.

The Mongolian beef and Shrimp combination is to die for! This was one stellar plate indeed!

I’ve been here a lot and it’s consistently decent. Most of the protein options are good (Orange peel, ginger broccoli and honey seared are all good), and that’s where the good stops.
Sushi — Terrible
Salads — Bad
Egg rolls/​Salad rolls — Terrible
Lettuce wraps — The worst I’ve ever seen.
Soups — Decent

Pei Wei is amazing! I always get the honey seared tofu over noodles. The meals are so customizable. Pei Wei has fair prices, fast service, and wonderful outdoor seating. :-)

This is fast, has lots of choices, and is pretty good. Better than your average Chinese take out but a little pricey for what you get.
I had shrimp with mixed vegetables over brown rice. A TON of rice (easily 2 – 3 cups). I would have preferred more veggies (very little, less than a cup). A lot of shrimp though which was good. My daughter had the shrimp lo mein which was just ok. Shrimp summer rolls were tasty.

Most things are good in the menu… the fried rice is the worst ever… made by total amateurs…

I order using the website which is very easy and you can customize your order. I would like to add comments to make my order extra-​extra spicy though.
This location has a separate area for order pick up and my orders are always available on time. Chopsticks, utensils & soy sauce is offered for your bag.

I like to grab carryout from this location because they have a separate desk for it and they make my life easier. I also like that I can order online and pick up my meal in five minutes. The big bowls and super large meat portions aren’t what I’m in for though, I typically get an order of the lettuce wraps and the hot and sour soup (very good). It’s nothing ultra traditional Chinese, but it’s cheaper than PF Changs and the same quality in a convenient location. Plus, fortune cookies.

I work right next to this place and I’ve been here a bunch of times so let me tell you what the deal is.
A lot of people complain about this place because they say «Ooh the cashier was unfriendly» or «Oh the food wasn’t like an asian master would prepare» well no kidding you big drungus, it’s because you’re at Pei Wei and it’s like a fast food place if you wanted authentic asian experiences you screwed up already.
Pei Wei is where you go if you want a bowl of noodles or rice and you want some stuff on top with a sauce. Just order it and move down the line and if there’s a table then sit at a table or maybe take it back to you office. It’s just food. This location is pretty average in terms of speed and politeness, and the food seems to be cooked appropriately so what else do you want?
Here’s my PRO TIP: When you go to the place where the drinks are right after you order, get a fortune cookie, but slip it into your pocket, then at the end of the meal, go back and say outloud «Oh man I am going to get a fortune cookie» so they don’t think you’re taking two and then swipe a second one and eat it there. They’ve got the most delicious fortune cookies and even though the messages are usually something stupid about sports like «Oh you’re gonna have a good sportsball game tomorrow» you can still enjoy the cookie, and you’ve already swiped a second one to enjoy later so you’re the real winner — sportsball or not.
