I visited Pei Wei for the first time last Sunday. We told the cashier it was our first time visiting and she was very helpful.
I loved the fountain drink machine. The carbonation was good and they have pretty much any kind of soda you could want, including some I didn't even know existed.
I ordered a combo plate which was a smaller portion and included a starter. I went with the Hot and Sour soup which is normally a favorite of mine, and we started with some Crab Wontons.
The flavor of the soup was good, but the consistency was much too thick for my palette, almost like a gravy vs a soup. I would not order it again.
The crab wontons were good, had a lot of crab flavor and were presented sitting in a chili type of sweet and sour sauce. I enjoyed them but some people might now like the wontons swimming in that sauce.
My mongolian beef was delicious, and my boyfriend ordered a thai coconut chicken which also had a great flavor.
With the exception of the soup, all the rest of our food was fresh and very flavorful. I also felt that the value for the money was superb. I will definitely be going back there.
