Love this place! I don’t come here as often as I’d like but have been satisfied with my meals each time I go. My go to is just a regular rice bowl with shrimp/steak and it’s great each time. Lately I’ve been trying other dishes and have not been disappointed. Very casual atmosphere, clean and friendly staff. The only time I was upset was when I went to order the ahi tuna bowl and they were out… was bummed as I had no backup in place — LOL! Other than that, great food and they give you a lot.

Well to begin staff not willing or eager to wait on customers. The order was not correct because the waitress to preoccupied by other things not related to work. The waiter handed out food over the service wall instead of bringing it to the table. DONOT was time or money here.

Came here last night, food was good– service was pushy and otherwise uninterested. We were very polite because the stop was unplanned and we were both hungry and in good moods. However I left my purse at my seat, I called as soon as I realized my error. The man I talked to on the phone said they had picked it right up and put it in the office, but had to look into my wallet to see who I was. Turns out, the guy who I thought was so kind– took all of my cash. So much for it being safe. My bad on leaving it– but man, where does the human greed stop. My opinion of the people here has dropped so much. I won’t be back again, and I hope karma catches up to him.

I’ve been looking forward to trying this place, I adore Asian cuisine and especially Americanized Asian cuisine. I wanted to like this place so much. Came in on a Friday night, nice ambiance, casual but cool. Big light up menu right as you walk in, paper menus on the left. Order from the counter with light up menus. Ordered 4 crab ragoons One small vegetable and tofu lomein One regular vegetable and tofu pad Thai. Sat down by the take out counter to wait. Quickly got our food and ate in the parking lot(hey I’m a dog lady, I have my priorities). First we had the crab ragoons, discovered there were only two. We ordered four. Checked the receipt and we were only charged for two so whatever. They were good, the dipping sauce was sub par. But they were well fried and pretty crabby. Then opened our meals, which were the same size. So either we got jipped and both are smalls or we got a bit extra and both were larges. So they really couldn’t follow our simple order. I tried my pad Thai, it was… Terrible. Just terrible. So very terrible. Spicy is fine, but there was just this weird weird flavor to it. And the tofu was this soggy floppy weird flavorless mess(no, that’s not how tofu is supposed to be). And the vegetables were water logged and also terrible. I tried my friends lomein, it was on the other side of the spectrum– it had no flavor. the noodles were very spaghetti like. I wasn’t sure if it was better to have a weird flavor or no flavor. But I realized, no flavor is better as I couldn’t eat more than a few bites of mine. The cherry on top: I figured I’d just eat the fortune cookies. I bit into my first one and it was soggy. I gave my friend one to see if she agreed. We both laughed in the parking lot over our soggy fortune cookies.(She didn’t care for her lomein either but it was palatable). I hate to give one stars, I’m not picky at all. I even like airline food for crying out loud. But this, this I couldn’t do. I called it quits and went across the street and got take out from my usual pizza spot. Long story short: I don’t recommend it and I won’t be coming back sadly.

We love this place and get it once or twice a month. Calling a Togo order is always frustrating because it’s never ready when I get there. It’s probably faster to just order once you get there.

Honey chicken is good, staff not nice. I quit going there. Expensive for the little bit that you get. Not impressed. Clean place.

Great staff and great food. What else can you ask for? The food is fresh and always on point. I had it for dinner on Monday and had to have it again on Tuesday for lunch.

Stopped here when my first choice was unexpectedly closed; I had been to other Pei Weis, and wanted something with more zing than most fast food. It was pretty good. Service was decent; they bring your food to the table and that’s about it. The atmosphere is dark and comfortable. Prices are okay for what you get. Ordering is pretty simple. I got the Thai special, with steak, veggies, and brown rice. Since I was hungry and wanted some variety I got a couple of crab Rangoons, and one of their new sushi rolls, the mango California. Pop machine was acting up so I could only get diet, which was good because man, that ended up being a ton of food! The entrée was huge, plus I had the little extras. The Rangoons were pretty good, nothing special. The sushi, meh. Little flavor, looked okay but otherwise nothing appealing. The entrée was steaming hot, slightly spicy, and pretty tasty. I doubt it was very Chinese or Thai, but it was good, and made me eat some veggies, so I was satisfied. Pretty good, reasonably fast, and I was on my way.

I love Pei Wei for lunch, but just this once I came in for dinner. «TakeAway» as the sign above the register calls it. The staff was very nice and the wait wasn’t long. It was actually pretty empty. There were more customers here for the TakeAway than for dining in. My favorite meal here is the honey seared chicken with brown rice. Not a fan of the sweet and sour chicken as it comes with pineapples(yuck!). But I would definitely recommend Pei Wei for lunch or dinner.

My son & I tried this for the first time last weekend. I had the thai crunch salad, he had the shrimp & chicken lo mein, then we shared the chicken lettuce wraps. Tons of food & great quality, fabulous prices. One of our new faves!

I love Chinese food. While Pei Wei isn’t my favorite Chinese restaurant, they consistently have good, fast service and tasty food. This restaurant is just far enough from the main Easton area that it seems to have a moderate amount of people in it whenever I stop over to eat. I recommend their Kung Pao sauce with chicken and their Dan Dan noodles.

This was a great restaurant when it opened years ago. Within the last few years though the food quality has tanked and has been consistently poor for a while now. Today, my Orange Peel Chicken came out cold. How does that happen at a make to order restaurant? The restroom was disgusting, my coke was weak, and worst of all… No fortune cookies… Pei Wei, what happened here? I don’t trash places often, in fact this may be my first poor review on Unilocal; but today was really disappointing. Strike One Pei Wei. You have two left and I not come back.

I’ve never left a negative review, but after years of enjoying Pei Wei, it’s just not the same. Back-to-back times of getting dry, overcooked chicken and undercooked, still hard rice has me wondering if we will be back. Both my wife and I had the same experience with different menu items, her the sweet and sour chicken and me the Kung Pao. Has ownership changed?

I reviewed this business a month ago — much improvement! Take out is HOT and super fresh! AND it was ready before I arrived to pick it up. Their food is always good, as long as it’s hot!

I love Pei Wei! The quality of food is really good. I’ve been to P.F. Changes before and it’s no where as good as Pei Wei is. I’ll walk up in here and won’t hesitate to drop $ 20.

Was disappointed with my meal. Had to pick up a package next door at the FedEx office next door, so used online ordering to place my order prior to leaving. I still had to wait to receive my meal as it wasn’t ready at the scheduled picked up time. I placed my order about 45 minutes prior to the pick up time I had scheduled. I ordered the wasabi crunch roll. Did not detect any additional wasabi in it and the quality of the sushi was equivalent to that found in grocery stores. I also ordered chicken lo mein. This dish was just terrible. The chicken was hard and dry, even my dog had difficulty chewing it! The noodles had no flavor at all. I have ordered from this place before and found the food good so maybe this was just a bad day. I will probably give it another try because of the convenience, but another meal like this, and I won’t ever return.

Not sure what happened to this place. In the past I would have given it 5+ stars but today 3. And that’s being generous. I don’t know if the place changed hands or what but not impressed.

I think I like this place even better! With a recent diagnosis of diabetes having to watch the diet and count carbs is not such a fun thing to do and can be challenging when hanging out with folks that don’t have that worry. So Pei Wei was selected and I figured I’d find something I could survive on there. WOW they have updated their menu big time. Not only do they have smaller portions available you can now substitute your rice for a side salad! I’m sorry but that was just super freaking amazing news to my ears. I was able to have a delicious meal and stay within my diet parameters as well. Ya gotta love it!

Went for lunch on Friday with co-workers. I always get the Pei Wei spicy beef which is just a little spicy but you can grab a little jar of the garlic chili paste to bring it up a level or 2. It comes with pretty good beef, and is loaded with veggies like pea pods. Never disappoints. What did disappoint, however, was the spicy tuna roll which is a new addition to the menu. It was four pieces of sushi, which looked the part, but the tuna and center were luke warm. Warm sushi is definitely not very appealing.

The seating area is nice and pretty open. A classy feel to a fast food joint. I had a the Thai dynamite which was tasty, although, it was hardly spicy. I mean, not at all. The boyfriend had the peanut chicken which looked and smelled good. *Pet peeve alert* Now, I had a problem with the way they brought out the food. It bugs the crap out of me when dishes are brought out at different times. We sat there and stared at his food while we waited another 5 – 10 minutes for mine. But, like I said, this is a pet peeve… Other than that, it’s pretty all right. A good alternative to the usual fast food fare around Easton.
