Pei Wei

Last night I was craving something like P.F. Chang’s Mongolian Beef so I stopped by this new place “Pei Wei” on the way home from work to check it out.

So I’d seen this place under construction for a while, and it’s finally open as of recent, it seems. I wasn’t sure what kind of Asian restaurant it would be, but it turns out it’s by the same company as “P.F. Changs” – it’s sorta like the more casual version of it, I guess.

I haven’t been excited about a restaurant in a while, hehe… The Mongolian beef wasn’t bad… not P.F. Chang’s good though, at least not this time around. Not as flavorful, I guess. According to my boss you shouldn’t get beef there, he says he gets the Lemon Pepper Chicken every time and loves it, so that’ll be one of the next few things I try. I also noticed on their menu that they had a dish labeled “Spicy Korean”. I may have to try that one next time, perhaps with chicken since it’s probably not marinated in the sauce but just cooked in it.

You actually can get any of the main dishes with Chicken, Beef, Shrimp/Scallops, or tofu and veges… anyways, this place looks promising, I’ll keep you updated on the food, heh. I’m also looking forward to trying the Honey Seared crispy chicken or crispy shrimp, since that reminds me of my other fave. P.F. Chang’s dish…. dang, it’s too bad I’ll have to make so many trips to try everything, heh.
