Pei Wei Asian Diner

I’m a big fan of Pei Wei for consistent, yummy and definitely very «Americanized» Chinese food. While this location is not exactly the best example of their offering (including versus other airport locations), it is a solid choice for a decent meal on the go.
My usual pick is the teriyaki chicken bowl with brown rice and they also now have a pretty appealing breakfast bowl.
Keep in mind that while this is fast food, they make each order on demand so if there’s a line, expect a wait.
And oh, there’s outlets around the high counter seats to charge as you wait /​eat.

worst ever!!! the rice is hard ，the dish is salt. Be careful !!! This is the worst Asian food I found in this planet

Vegan definition is wrongly understood by this team, trying, they do have everything to be a great kitchen!

Waiting for a connection and not much in A gates. Ordered one vegetable spring roll and one pork roll. Took five minutes which was great to not having to wait long. The vegetable roll was not bad, a little better than your average fast food roll. The pork roll, however, was drenched in oil. The sweet chili sauce was good though. All in all, $ 3.99 wasn’t bad for airport food.

Was a little later than I usually am to make a flight out east. I needed to eat and should have grabbed a pre-​made salad or something. Decided against my gut instinct but how hard could it be to make chicken grid rice and a couple egg rolls? Well lesson learned! My pork egg rolls were swimming in oil. Like they were pull out of the fryer and not even drained. As a matter of fact they might have even spooned in some oil for good measure. Couldn’t even eat them.
Chicken fried rice looks ok but the rice is sticky and mooshy. Oh and did I mention this was supposed to be chicken fried rice, guess what they left out the chicken!
At least my fortune cookie is fresh!

Located near gate 20. I got the fried rice. Tasted good. Asked for it to be spicy. Can be hard to find a seat as its in a food court area and all seating is shared.

Had about ½ hour before needed to board so thought there was plenty of time to get some food for dinner. Despite working in an airport, the women taking orders had no concept of time. Waited a good 20 minutes for the food while these women took their time handing out the completed orders that were already waiting on the counter. Then they had some discussion about something and just stopped getting the food ready for a couple of minutes. Again, food was ready and just sitting on the counter. Slow, apathetic workers and busy airports just don’t mix.

New to reviews. Was about to post had review meant for a different restaurant at the airport. And I can’t figure out how to delete. Sorry. Though I have had good experiences at Pei Wei before.

Before I purchased, I asked the cashier what time will my order (2 meals –kung pao and spicy wei) be ready as I have a flight in one hour. She said it will be «in ten minutes.» So i put my order in. I was waiting on the counter standing. I was asked 3 times by different staff what I ordered. My order did not arrive til almost 20minutes later! I saw them scrambling for my order. It sounded like they got my spicy wei order wrong; it wasnt spicy or they forgot to add spicy sauce. I was visibly upset and they apologized but i had to run to my departure gate!

As Chinese food, the taste is so so… I had a Pei Wei special spicy steak, which is not spicy but tastes sour… and it is not steak but only regular beef :(moreover they forgot my rice! Like ¹⁄₃ regular dinner plate amount cost $ 10 plus!!! Anyways they made me a side rice at the end. And when you are at the airport if you want something hot, you do not have many choices, I say it is worthy trying.

Food was ok, wasn’t bad but then it also wasn’t anything outstanding. They use way too much sodium/​soy sauce in all their food. We had the Mongolian beef, Honey Chicken, & Chicken lettuce wrap and they all had tons of sodium. This place is definitely not worth the price. Especially after I saw the portion size. I found out later that Panda Express was also here, which is cheaper in price, probably the same quality, and larger portions. It does look like a good deal though because they were right next to Deluxe Burger which has $ 13 burgers. This place is a huge rip off. Won’t be eating here again next time I fly thru here.

Line was pretty long when we went but it was dinner time. Had seemingly healthier options than the other places in the airport. Only got the spring rolls but they were tasty!

I was there last Thursday at dinner time l. The line to order was about 5min, but it took them 20 min to prepare two egg rolls. Be careful ordering from here if you have a short layover.

I grabbed a bite here in transit with a friend. The line in front of the restaurant combined with the lack of any line at neighboring restaurants suggested that this was a popular option. I had also heard good things from a colleague who said that Pei Wei was a relative of PF Chang’s, a well established gourmet chain of Far East cuisine.
I ordered the Caramel Chicken because I liked the sound of it and because it had the «spicy» icon listed next to it on two overhead LCD menus.
Additionally, because I felt the need to flaunt my wealth, I decided to upgrade from standard white or brown rice to premium fried rice for an additional $ 1.00. Ballin’!! (Insert perfect Steph Curry 3-​Point shot follow-​through here). I also gave into an impulse purchase: a somewhat pricey brownie at the counter.
The brownie wasn’t good. I ate it, but I kept thinking about how disappointing it was as compared to how good it looked. That said, no one comes to Pei Wei for brownies.
The Caramel Chicken with the premium fried rice was decent. The sauce tasted great but I thought there was too much of of it. The mixture of rice to chicken to veggies was on point. I got a milder form of the post Chinese fast food brick in my stomach feeling — better than usual.
Overall, OK.

I’m an employee at the airport and I tried pei wei for the first time yesterday. I ordered the spicy chicken entrée and 2 eggrolls. Super expensive. The eggrolls were a little odd tasting so I thought maybe its just the seasoning or something. A few hours later I’m in the bathroom retching. I will never eat here again. The only good thing about this location in the high a gates was the lady who took my order was very nice. Very disappointed. Please stop serving tainted food.

If you aspire to have high blood pressure, then this is the place has your name all over it! Ordered a Kung Pao chicken, had more sauce than the gravy in your Thanksgiving dinner. I slammed water for every bite I took. In addition to that, I blame my bubble guts on the under-​cooked egg roll. the agonizing search for the nearest restroom. The service was efficient and fast, but you may be better off at a Panda Express for the $ 12. I smell pizza next door! (_​)

Dinner at the airport before my next flight and decided to try this place out. I ordered the Vegetarian Japanese Teriyaki bowl with fried rice.
My rice was drenched in their teriyaki sauce, I would ask for it on the side next time. Made me feel sick after eating a few bites of the drenched rice. It was like drinking teriyaki sauce by itself. Awful. Their vegetables were not cooked all the way through, the broccoli was chewy and not crisp.
No thanks.

I don’t think I will ever eat at Pei Wei again, not because of the service (which was terrible– took 15 min to make a chicken fried rice dish) but because the veges that came with were basically RAW. I had RAW snow peas in COOKED chicken (DRY as hell too) with asian sauces and cooked carrots. That just made it taste horrific. The spicy chicken was overly dry, there were only like 5 pieces of it anyway. I was expecting it to be at least as good as some generic kung pao Americanized chicken drenched in artery clogging goodness but no this was just a dry + small portions of artery clogging disaster. It just tasted old too.
Not to mention I paid about 10 $ for this, I much rather have 2 items from the McD dollar menu, which also would have been served in the fraction of the time.
If you’re ever deciding between Pei Wei and Panda Express, ALWAYS go Panda. Christ.

So good! Food is so hot and totally worth it. Made to order and I choose this place over a Panda Express or some other sh* Americanized Asian food place.
The food is fusion between japanese, Thai and Chinese. But it’s worth it and this location shuts it down on all it’s surrounding food locations.
Try it. Very cheap and very hot food served to your table

I was starving and went Pei Wei — it was lame, here’s why:
SLOW cooking (this could mean it was fresher, though)
NOT TASTY :(
Big portions were good, though!
