Pei Wei

Years ago I used to frequent this location and always had a pleasant experience, but the last two times I have eaten here have been incredibly sub-​par.
Most recently, the cashier was on the phone when I approached the counter (which did not bother me in the slightest as it was clear that he was dealing with a customer). There was one waiter on the floor who was handling about five tables. When the cashier finally got off of the phone, before even asking me for my order, he called over the waiter and reprimanded him (literally snarling, which I think was a bit overboard) for not helping me (which, I’m pretty sure, is not his job). About ten minutes after my friend and I placed our orders and sat down I hear this same cashier yelling «Hey, you!» across the restaurant. I looked up and was embarrassed to find he was talking to me. «You forgot your table number, come get it!» Uhhh… okay. Aside from the fact that we were the only table waiting for food in this nearly empty restaurant, is that how you talk to customers? Just a really bizarre occurrence, my friend and I felt completely uncomfortable.
On top of that, my ginger and broccoli chicken was chewy and fatty and my fried rice was incredibly overcooked, not worth the up-​charge. There are about five other restaurants in this shopping plaza that I would rather go to, and trust me I will next time.

As with all Pei Wei, I like it. Fast, good food and reasonable prices. It’s the PF Chang’s diner.

Normally I leave a tip for the servers — not really waitress’ or bussing tables — today a young lady gave us ½ of our order at a dirty table and wouldn’t even take away the dirty dishes — she either needs to find another job outside the service arena or continue her path of continuing Ed – she won’t be getting any tip today

For the loudest and filthiest dining experience in Stuart.
Makes Chuck E Cheese seem like a quiet picnic.

Greasy table, tardy, grumpy counterperson, egg rolls looked burnt tasted not fresh…
Time to fire the manager.

The food used to be so good here. Had the crab wontons to start. They were cold in temp.
Had the orange peel, the rice and pea pods were way under cooked. Talked to the manager and kitchen remade the dish but still wasn’t good.
This time the pea pods were grainy/​stringy and rice was still a little under cooked.
I’m done with this place.

Love the lettuce wraps! I go here all the time for lunch. Great service and always fast

Another instance where I would like Unilocal to have a half star option, cause I’d actually give it 2.5. The girl taking out order was so kind and patient (ugh, teenage boys deciding what to eat) that I’m bumping the stars up to 3. I like that I can get fried rice with no egg, but food is bland. It’s fresh, and looks clean though, but flavor is seriously lacking. Also the chicken in my chicken fried rice is pretty unappetizing. Oh well. I’d rather get real Chinese food, but not the most terrible thing I’ve eaten.

Omg, loved loved this place, the format on how you order, the open kitchen where I can watch them cook, the modern decorating, and oh yes the food cooked to order. You walk in and pick from the simple menu, 4 types of sushi rolls, 4 or 5 appetizers, lettuce wraps, etc. To be price competitive when you order sushi you can order 4 or 8 piece rolls. Entrees can also be ordered in small or large portions, this really worked for me as I ate alone. When choosing you entrée you pick the protein, chicken, steak, tofu, or veggie, then choose white, brown, or fried rice, then choose the sauce/​dish of traditional Chinese cuisine. My food came out piping hot, the sushi was fresh and delicious, all for $ 12. Are you kidding me, I am definitely going back!

Not kid friendly! We arrived, waited in line, and they refused to take our order. Despite numerous empty tables, they explained that they could not place any of the high chairs at the tables.
I could not believe they could not take my order, and I could not each lunch with my two year old. I will not go back.

The fried rice was good but they gave me chicken that was REALLY UNDERDONE! Then when I asked for them to make me a new bowl, the guy had an attitude. Ugh. Not happy. I don’t intend on returning.

My mean at Pei Wei was out of this world. They have a large selection of food. My personal favorite meal is the chicken orange peel. You can get the Orange peel with steak also. I love this restaurant because Asian food is my all time favorite food in the world. I can’t wait to go their again. Overall the food was fabulous. If you love Asian food I would prefer to go to Pei Wei.

Love this place! The food is consistently delicious! Try the Caramel Chicken! It’s attractive inside with big windows. And the location is convenient for all the fun things there are to do in Stuart. It’s always a special treat when we drive out here.

This place is kinda cool. Nice little fast casual place with fresh food. No servers, but they have food runners and leave the soda fountain to you. Its a very clean restaurant and is generally pretty busy. I had the korean barbecue and it was very bold and flavorful. Nice tender meat and it was complimented with white rice. We started things off with the crab Rangoon which was also very good. It was deep fried to perfecrion and they were very generous with the filling. It was served with sweet chili sauce, which is good on everything! Although a little pricy for your normal chinese takeout, it was well worth it. Definitely above an average chinese place! It makes a great lunch break or special little treat to take the family on. I cant complain at all!

Seriously RUN RUN RUN … This place was AWFUL … Just about some of the worst Asian food I have ever eaten … So bad !!! Just move on … Go somewhere else … BLAH!!!

Food was excellent, as always.

Food is ok. Cafeteria style kinda. Menu is super confusing. Left the first time we went cause I didn’t have the patience to figure it out. Ordered super basic second time cause I didn’t really get it. Probably won’t go back.

I love the food here, and the smell is incredible while you wait for your food to be freshly prepared. I would have given 5 stars, but on crowded evenings, it’s a bit noisy in there.
They have a great gluten-​free menu, too! Not just one or two things like most places.

I’m a fan of the Pei Wei and I look forward to visiting when I am in town. I’ve been to Pei Wei in Arizona, Tennessee, and a few other places. Pei Wei is the deliciousness of PF Changs with a faster, more relaxed atmosphere. Pei Wei chains don’t reach up into NY and I’m probably lucky for that. I’m sure I’d be floored by the calorie content that would be posted on the menu boards in the restaurant, as is done with all chain restaurants in NY. I typically have the lettuce wraps and the Kung Pao Chicken but this time I had the Thai Dynamite Chicken and lettuce wraps.
Everything was tasty and delivered to the table quickly. We just beat the lunch rush so we were lucky to get a table and drinks before people were hovering to try to push us out of our nest.
This location has taken a beating. They are in desperate need of new tables (they are worn, with scratches, scuffs, and etched love notes) as well as plates and glasses. Everything looks beat down and tired.

I made a walk-​in to-​go order here after playing golf at Golf world 76. I tried their new dishes: Hong Kong’s BBQ style with beef and rice noodles and Lemongrass chicken with rice noodles salad and spent the rest of my evening, eating my Pei Wei meals at Stuart’s Starbucks. :)
The lady (will exclude description and name) at the cashier did not attentively take my orders properly. I specifically confirmed my response for rice noodles for all my meals instead of white or brown rice and she gave me brown rice with my HK BBQ beef even when she was the one that suggested I could have rice noodles instead of rice.
The lemongrass chicken with rice noodles and mixed veggies was extremely delicious and every bite I took, it became more spicy than the previous bite but tolerable. The taste of lemon and lime were there and the thinly, well-​cooked sliced pieces of chicken throughout the salad were moist and soft. There weren’t really anything in the salad that was crunchy or too hard for my teeth to grind. The only downside was way too much vinegar and too greasy.
The HK BBQ beef is definitely taste like a Cantonese dish and there was just something tangy in the BBQ sauce that didn’t sit pleasant on my taste buds and not many Cantonese-​style dishes do anyway (sorry, no offense!). Other than the awkward taste of the BBQ sauce, the beef was well cooked, soft and chewy. The vegetables were well cooked too and I ate all of those. I tried the brown rice which was disappointing; hard and crunchy (either overcooked or rice was not mixed well in the bowl before serving).
Despite the minor disappointments I had this evening, I’m still a fan of Pei Wei food. Next time, I will definitely try the Lemongrass chicken rice noodles salad again and a different new/​signature dish.
